Abstract: |
In the current study, the calcium copper titanate (CCTO)/epoxy, barium titanate (BT)/epoxy and CCTO-BT/epoxy composite samples with variable volume fractions of CCTO and BT are fabricated using hand lay-up and compression moulding process. The composite samples are characterized for the frequency dependence on dielectric properties, conductivity, impedance spectroscopy and electrical modulus. X-ray diffraction (XRD) representation of CCTO-BT/epoxy composite samples confirmed the presence of both CCTO and BT ceramic samples separately. The dielectric characteristics of hybrid CCTO-BT/epoxy composite samples with CCTO: BT ratio of 40:60, 60:40, and 50:50 was found relatively better than those of single ceramic filler reinforced epoxy composites. AC conductivity analysis shows improvement in the results of hybrid filler-filled CCTO-BT/epoxy composites in comparison with single filler-filled epoxy composite. 50:50 CCTO-BT/epoxy composite shows the best AC conductivity value of ~ ohm-1?m-1 at a higher frequency of 1 MHz. The impedance analysis confirms the higher insulating properties for hybrid 40:60 and 60:40 CCTO-BT/epoxy composites with respect to the single and other hybrid ceramic epoxy composites. The analysis suggests the hybrid CCTO-BT/epoxy composites to be adopted as a potential dielectric material for energy storage devices and other electronic applications. |
