ABSTRACT

Ceramic nanoparticles/polymer composite nanodielectrics constitute a novel class of engineering materials, which exhibit tunable mechanical, thermal, electrical and magnetic properties, energy storing/recovering ability in tandem with processability and corrosion resistance. By these means the produced nanocomposites are characterized by multifunctionality since structural components are able to perform a wide range of desirable functions. When the embedded nanoparticles are polar oxides and/or piezo/ferro-electrics, or any kind of stimuli responsive materials additional functional performance is induced in the nanocomposites, providing a suitable basis for the development of smart materials.

Significance of the study:

Ceramic/polymer nanodielectrics represent a new class of engineering materials with tunable mechanical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties. These multifunctional composites can be tailored for a wide range of applications, and the inclusion of polar oxides or piezo/ferroelectric materials enhances their smart performance, making them suitable for advanced technological applications.

Summary of the study:

This study explores ceramic nanoparticles/polymer composite nanodielectrics, emphasizing their tunable mechanical, thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties. By incorporating polar oxides or piezo/ferroelectric materials, the composites gain additional functionalities, paving the way for the development of smart materials. These multifunctional composites show promise for diverse engineering applications due to their enhanced performance and processability.
