Enhanced dielectric properties of filled PVDF/MgO polymer nanocomposite / Adillah Nurashikin Arshad

PVDF and PVDF/MgO nanocomposite thin films (MgO loading percentages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 .wt%) were produced by spin coating on Al-glass substrates at 1500rpm. PVDF thin films were annealed subsequently at 70°C, 90°C, 110°C, 130°C, 150°C and 170°C, and then were cooled by fast cooling (FC) and slow...
