Dielectric Absorptions in Solid Polymers

Dielectric Spectroscopy of Reactive Polymers

Infrared absorptions of the H(2)O ... H(2) complex trapped in solid neon.

When a sample of neon to which have been added less than 1% each of H(2) and H(2)O is deposited at 4.3 K, the infrared spectrum of the resulting solid includes an absorption by the vibrational fundamental of H(2), which is normally infrared inactive. New absorptions are also associated with the vibrational fundamentals of the H(2)O in the sample. Similar results are obtained for deuterium-enric...

High Frequency Loss Mechanism in Polymers Filled with Dielectric Modifiers

We analyzed the high frequency dielectric relaxation mechanism in high-k composite materials using film substrates made of low loss organic resin filled with ferroelectric ceramics and with single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT). We performed broadband permittivity measurements of high-k film substrates at frequencies of 100 Hz to about 10 GHz. In order to analyze the effect of the dielectric thic...

High frequency dielectric relaxation in polymers filled with ferroelectric ceramics

We investigated the dielectric relaxation process in high-dielectric constant polymer composite films filled with barium titanate particles. In order to extend the dielectric measurements to the microwave range, we employed a new broadband measurement technique where a thin film capacitance terminating a coaxial waveguide is treated as a transmission line. The complex permittivity, measured at ...

Dielectric relaxations in amorphous polymers with complex chain architectures

By combining thermostimulated current and dynamic dielectric spectroscopies, the dielectric properties characteristic of the molecular mobility can be described over a very broad frequency range. The study of dielectric relaxations of phosphorus-containing dendrimers in the sub-glass transition region, and of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates) at and above the glass transition region allows us to gain...
