Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="abs0005"> <title id="sect0005">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="spar0005">Composites made from BaTiO₃ with a high addition of B₂O₃–Bi₂O₃–SiO₂–ZnO (BBSZ) glass (50–90 wt.%) were sintered at 450 °C and 400 °C. The shrinkage rates of the compositions as a function of temperature were determined by dilatometer. XRD patterns, Raman spectra and microstructures revealed that an additional phase of Bi₂₄Si₂O₄₀ was formed when samples were sintered at 450 °C and the glass content exceeded 60 wt.%. Composites with an addition of 70 wt.% of BBSZ had <italic>ɛ</italic>_{<italic>r</italic>} = 132 and 207 and tan<italic>δ</italic> = 0.0056 and 0.028 at 100 kHz and 100 MHz, respectively. Notably, at 100 MHz, the additional Bi₂₄Si₂O₄₀ phase may be the reason that losses of 80–90 wt.% samples were lower than those of BaTiO₃ and BBSZ glass. Realized composites with 70–90 wt.% of BBSZ glass sintered at 450 °C exhibited a dense structure, high permittivity and acceptable losses. This makes them suitable for various dielectric applications with ultra-low sintering temperature.</p> </sec> </abstract>
