The dielectric and pyroelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate/poly(vinyl chloride) [PZT/PVC] and barium titanate/poly(vinyl chloride) [BaTiO 3 / PVC] composites were studied. Flexible composites were fabricated in the thin films form (200−400 µm) by hot-pressed method. Powders of PZT or BaTiO 3 in the shape of 75 µm ceramics particles were dispersed in a PVC matrix, providing composites with 0−3 connectivity. Distribution of the ceramic particles in the polymer phase was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The analysis of the thermally stimulated currents (TSC) have also been done. The changes of dielectric and pyroelectric data on composites with different contents of ceramics up to 40% volume were investigated. The dielectric constants were measured in the frequency range from 600 Hz to 6 MHz at room temperature. The pyroelectric coefficient for BaTiO 3 /PVC composite at 343 K is about 35 µC/m 2 K which is higher than that of β-PVDF (10 µC/m 2 K).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
