Dielectric Properties of Graphite Nanocomposites

Magneto-dielectric properties of polymer– Fe3O4 nanocomposites

The aim of this research is to elucidate the size effect of magnetic nanoparticles on the resultant magneto-dielectric properties of polymer nanocomposites at radio frequencies. The block copolymer of [styrene-b-ethylene/butylene-b-styrene] (SEBS) was utilized as a matrix for the templating of magnetic nanoparticles. Surfactant-modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles of various sizes were suc...

Dielectric Properties of PE/Clay Nanocomposites

Polyethylene/nanoclay specimens containing from 0 to 5% nanoclays were prepared from a commercially available premixed PE/nanoclay masterbatch containing 50%wt of nanoclay. The masterbatch was diluted to the desired concentration by adding PE along with various amounts of compatibilizer in order to achieve the best possible dispersion of the nanoclay platelets. The dielectric response of the co...

Expandable graphite/polyamide-6 nanocomposites

Polyamide-6 (PA-6)/graphite nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending, using a variety of graphites, including virgin graphite, expandable graphites and expanded graphite. The resulting nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, cone calorimetry, and tensile mechanical analysis. Nanocomposite formation does occur, as denoted by the nanometre dispersi...

Magnetic properties of iron cluster/chromium matrix nanocomposites

A custom-designed apparatus was used for the fine-tuned co-deposition of preformed Fe clusters into antiferromagnetic Cr matrices. Three series of samples with precisely defined cluster sizes, with accuracy to a few atoms, and controlled concentrations were fabricated, followed by a complete characterization of structure and magnetic performance. Relevant magnetic characteristics, reflecting th...
