Enhancement of Electrical and Optical Properties of Polyvinylidene Fluoride Samples by Cerium Sulfate Addition

In the present work, polyvinylidene fluoride's (PVDF) electrical and optical properties have been studied as a function of cerium sulfate tetrahydrate called Ce(SO4)2. Experimental result shows that relative percentage β phase (Fβ%) increases by almost 55 % with Ce(SO4)2 addition in polymeric matrix. The dielectric permittivity measurements presented an increase, at 1 KHz, 62% up to 0.8% content. This increase was attributed Maxwell-Wagner effect. UV-Vis some changes UV region due fluorescence showed enhancement peak 130 for PVDF/Ce(SO4)2 blue shift maximum intensity. These results show sample is potential candidate optical, photonic, electrical, electronic applications.
