Effect of low amount of nanosilica on dielectric properties of polypropylene
2010
This paper presents the results of the dielectric properties measurements conducted on Silica-Polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. According to prior investigations by the authors silica nanoparticles have improved the performance of the dielectric material considering capacitor applications. Especially breakdown strengths with ac and dc voltages and resistance against surface degradation have increased. The relative permittivity and dielectric losses have also been comparable to reference PP. In this paper the results of the dielectric measurements conducted on composites with 1-2 wt-% silica are compared with reference PP. Silica dispersion in PP was confirmed with transmission electron mic…
Understanding Digestive Ripening of Ligand-Stabilized, Charged Metal Nanoparticles
2017
Most syntheses of thiolate-protected metal nanoparticles (NPs) include a thermochemical step in which the as-prepared, polydisperse NPs are transformed to a narrower size distribution in a poorly understood process known as digestive ripening (DR). Previous theoretical approaches considered either surface and electrostatic contributions or surface and ligand-binding contributions. We show that the three contributions are needed to obtain theoretical predictions in agreement with experimental observations. Although statistical thermodynamics does not clarify mechanistic details, it certainly provides valuable insights on the DR process. Remarkably, a relatively simple theory with no fitting …
Research on the electrostatic properties of liquid dielectric mixtures
2007
Abstract This paper presents research results, which confirm the possibility of influencing the electrostatic charge tendency (ECT) of selected mixtures of purely insulating liquids. Tests were performed in a spinning disk system, where the factors influencing the value of the electrification current consisted of variable composition of the toluene–cyclohexane mixture, rotational speed, and a disk diameter. Liquid hydrocarbon mixtures displayed changes in ECT as well as classic insulation parameters such as resistivity and relative permittivity for concentration changes of the admixtures. These results can be used to assist the search for inhibitors of ECT and of aging processes in insulati…
Nonresonant dielectric hole-burning spectroscopy on a titanium-modified lead magnesium niobate ceramic
2001
Nonresonant dielectric hole-burning experiments were performed on the titanium-modified relaxor ferroelectric lead magnesium niobate around the diffuse maximum in the dielectric permittivity. After applying large alternating electric pump fields we monitored the polarization response to small field steps for times between 0.3 ms and 100 s. Depending on the frequency of the pump oscillation a speedup of the polarization response was observed with a maximum located around times corresponding to the inverse pump frequency. The refilling of the dielectric holes was investigated for several temperatures, pump frequencies, and pump field amplitudes. It proceeded always slower than the time scale …
Dependence of dielectric permittivity on bias field in Pb1−xBaxSc0.5Nb0.5O3
2001
Abstract Bias field effect on the dielectric permittivity is studied in Badoped lead scandium niobate ferroelectric ceramics (PBSN-x) prepared by conventional technology. Results of this work allow to analyse the mechanism of possible formation and motion of domain and/or phase boundaries in the explored ferroelectric ceramics.
Evolution of dielectric permittivity under applied field in PLZT 8.3/70/30 ceramics
2000
Abstract The jump of dielectric permittivity as function of bias field applied after various duration of storage at the measurement temperature is investigated. The influence of storage time on ϵ(E=) depends on the value of bias field and frequency of measuring field. It is found that ϵ(E=) depends on the path of how particular field value is reached.
Dielectric Characterization of Fruit Nectars at Low RF Frequencies
2015
Dielectric properties of apple, apricot, peach, and pear nectars were studied in the frequency range from 15 kHz to 30 MHz and the temperature range from 25 to 60 degrees C. Both the relative dielectric constants and the dielectric loss factors decreased by increasing frequency and increased linearly with increasing temperature with values in the order 10(4)-10(2) and 10(5)-10(2), respectively. The power dissipation densities and the power penetration depths were found to increase linearly with temperature. Power dissipation densities remained essentially constant for all the samples while power penetration depths decreased significantly on increasing frequency. The dependence of each of th…
Dielectric spectroscopy of an aligned liquid crystalline side chain polymer using high pressures
1995
Abstract The complex permittivity of a liquid crystalline side group polymer has been measured at pressure from ambient up to 300 MPa. The samples were initially not aligned, then planar and finally homeotropically aligned by the field of a 7.2 Tesla magnet. Temperatures ranged up to 130°C, and measurement frequencies from 5 Hz to 5 MHz. The equilibrium permittivity es has been interpreted in terms of an effective dipole moment μ. The frequency of maximum loss has been analysed in terms of enthalpy of activation and volume of activation for α and β relaxation processes.
Dielectric Permittivity and Conductivity of Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9O3and Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889O3Solid Solutions
2011
Results of studies of dielectric properties and conductivity in 290–700 K range of temperature and frequencies from 25 to 106 Hz in ferroelectric perovskite solid solutions Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9 O3 and Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889 O3 are reported. A first-order ferroelectric phase transition proceeds in both studied compositions within the observed range of temperature. The co-precipitated Ta2yNb2(1-y)O5 pentoxides being used for synthesis of Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.111Nb0.889O3 the Curie point shifts by ∼75 K to a lower temperature while compared with Li0.07Na0.93Ta0.1Nb0.9O3 synthesised from mechanical mixture of the Ta2O5 and Nb2O5 oxides the high-frequency dielectric permittivity and ion conduct…
Accurate determination of the complex permittivity of materials with transmission reflection measurements in partially filled rectangular waveguides
2003
An enhanced transmission reflection technique for the precise determination of the complex permittivity of dielectric materials partially filling the cross section of a rectangular waveguide is described. Dielectric properties are determined by an iterative procedure from two-port S-parameter measurements and a numerically generated propagation constant obtained from the analysis of a partially filled waveguide. Convergence of the solution is ensured from perturbational approximations. Unlike previous approaches, an uncertainty investigation is performed, taking into account all the parameters involved in the dielectric characterization. Permittivity accuracy values are presented and, hence…
