Surface Modification of Hetero-phase Nanoparticles for Low-Cost Solution-Processable High-k Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: The surface modification of nanoparticles (NPs) is crucial for fabricating polymer nanocomposites (NCs) with high dielectric permittivity. Here, we systematically studied the effect of surface functionalization of TiO₂ and BaTiO₃ NPs to enhance the dielectric permittivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) NCs by 23 and 74%, respectively, measured at a frequency of 1 kHz. To further increase the dielectric permittivity of PVDF/NPs-based NCs, we developed a new hetero-phase filler-based approach that is cost-effective and easy to implement. At a 1:3 mixing ratio of TiO₂:BaTiO₃ NPs, the dielectric constant of the ensuing NC is found to be 50.2, which is comparable with the functionalized BaTiO₃-based NC. The highest dielectric constant value of 76.1 measured at 1 kHz was achieved using the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)-modified hetero-phase-based PVDF composite at a volume concentration of 5%. This work is an important step toward inexpensive and easy-to-process high-k nanocomposite dielectrics.

Project description:Novel nanocomposites for dielectric applications-based polypropylene/poly(ethylene-co-octene) (PP/POE) blends filled with nano silica are developed in the framework of the European 'GRIDABLE' project. A tailor-made low-pressure-plasma reactor was applied in this study for an organic surface modification of silica. Acetylene gas was used as the monomer for plasma polymerization in order to deposit a hydrocarbon layer onto the silica surface. The aim of this modification is to increase the compatibility between silica and the PP/POE blends matrix in order to improve the dispersion of the filler in the polymer matrix and to suppress the space charge accumulation by altering the charge trapping properties of these silica/PP/POE blends composites. The conditions for the deposition of the acetylene plasma-polymer onto the silica surface were optimized by analyzing the modification in terms of weight loss by thermogravimetry (TGA). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDX) measurements confirmed the presence of hydrocarbon compounds on the silica surface after plasma modification. The acetylene plasma modified silica with the highest deposition level was selected to be incorporated into the PP/POE blends matrix. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that there is no new crystal phase formation in the PP/POE blends nanocomposites after addition of the acetylene plasma modified silica. Differential scanning calorimetry results (DSC) show two melting peaks and two crystallization peaks of the PP/POE blends nanocomposites corresponding to the PP and POE domains. The improved dispersion of the silica after acetylene plasma modification in the PP/POE blends matrix was shown by means of SEM-EDX mapping. Thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements confirm that addition of the acetylene plasma modified silica affects the charge trapping density and decreases the amount of injected charges into PP/POE blends nanocomposites. This work shows that acetylene plasma modification of the silica surface is a promising route to tune charge trapping properties of PP/POE blend-based nanocomposites.
