High dielectric multiwalled carbon nanotube-polybenzoxazine nanocomposites for printed circuit board applications

摘要

The present work describes the development of polybenzoxazine (PBZ) nanocomposite with high dielectric constant using varying weight percentages of (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt. %) benzoxazine functionalized MWCNT (CNT-BS) and benzoxazine through thermal ring opening polymerization. The dielectric constants are increased with increasing weight percentages of incorporation of CNT-BS, whereas dielectric losses are in the reverse trend. Data from Cyclic Voltammogram and impedance studies confirm the conducting behavior of CNT-BS/PBZ nanocomposites. The increase in the weight ratio of CNT-BS enhances the values of Tg and thermal stability. The uniform distribution of functionalized CNT-BS was ascertained from transmission electron microscope.
