Synthesis and dielectric properties of novel high-K polymer composites containing in-situ formed silver nanoparticles for embedded capacitor applications

摘要

Dielectric properties of in-situ formed silver (Ag) incorporated carbon black (CB)/polymer composites were studied. In-situ formed Ag nanoparticles in the Ag/CB/epoxy composites increased the dielectric constant (K) value and decreased the dissipation factor (Df). The remarkably increased dielectric constant of the nanocomposite is due to the piling of charges at the extended interface of the interfacial polarization-based composites. The reduced dielectric loss might be due to the Coulomb blockade effect of the contained Ag nanoparticles, the well-known quantum effect of metal nanoparticles. The size, size distribution and loading level of metal nanoparticles in the nanocomposite were found to have significant influences on the dielectric properties of the nanocomposite system.
