Microwave Dielectric Properties of CCTO/PVA Composites

The CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramic powder was inserted in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymeric matrix, with an increasing weight fraction of the filler, to form a flexible and high dielectric constant composite at the GHz region. The structural characterization of the samples was performed using X-ray...

description The CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramic powder was inserted in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymeric matrix, with an increasing weight fraction of the filler, to form a flexible and high dielectric constant composite at the GHz region. The structural characterization of the samples was performed using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The complex permittivity was calculated by the small perturbation theory using two resonant cavities (2.7 GHz and 5.0 GHz). Several classical models (Maxwell Garnett, Lichtenecker, effective medium theory (EMT), and Yamada) were used to fit the real part of the complex permittivity of the composite as a function of the weight fraction of CCTO powder inserted in the PVA matrix. The best predictions for the dielectric behavior of these samples were obtained with the EMT and Yamada models.
