Synthesis of (Polymer blend-MgO) Nanocomposites and Studying Electrical Properties for Piezoelectric Application

Abstract

Nanocomposites were prepared by the method of casting with different proportion of nano magnesium oxide (0, 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6) wt%.The structural and electrical properties of (PAA-CMC-MgO) nanocomposites were studied.The experimental results of Scanning electron microscopy shows the surface morphology of the (PAA-CMC-MgO) nanocomposites where many grouping or pieces randomly dole out on the top of surface, homogeneous and coherent. The D.C electrical conductivity for (PAA-CMC-MgO) nanocomposites increased with increasing of temperature and magnesium oxid nanoparticles concentration, while activation energy decreases with increasing of the magnesium oxid nanoparticles concentration. The A.C electrical properties show that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the nanocomposites decrease with increasing the frequency of applied electrical field and they increase with the increase of the concentration of the magnesium oxide nanoparticles. The A.C electrical conductivity increases with increasing the concentration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles and also increases with the increase frequency, as well as almost constant at high frequency. The outcomes of sensor application offered that the electrical resistance of (PAA-CMC-MgO) nanocomposite decreases with increases in pressure.
