Abstract

ABSTRACT: Polymer/inorganic nanocomposites comprising of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol as a polymer matrix and unique combination of graphene oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles as fillers have been prepared using colloidal processing technique and characterized using various analytical methods. The dielectric properties of the nanocomposites are investigated using impedance analyzer. The nanocomposites show improvement in the dielectric properties compared to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/polyvinyl alcohol (50/50) blends, which results from the homogeneous dispersion of fillers into the polymer matrix. The results indicate that these nanocomposites have a potential to meet the technological demands of high-k dielectrics and/or embedded capacitors. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT:
