Study of dielectric property on BaTiO3/BADCy composite
The barium titanate (BaTiO3)/bisphenol A dicyanate (2,2'-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) isopropylidene) (BADCy) 0-3 dielectric composite was successfully prepared by casting. At 1 MHz and 298 K, the dielectric property of the composite was investigated systematically. The results showed that with the increase of the BaTiO3 content, the dielectric constant (epsilon) of the composite increased, while the dielectric loss (tan 3) decreased. When the mass fraction of BaTiO3 was 60%, epsilon reached its highest value (15.823) and tan delta was at its lowest (0.004). After post-curing at 230 degrees C for 4 h, tan delta dropped to 0.001. Meanwhile, with the increase of the conversion of BADCy, delta ascended at first and then descended slightly, but tan delta descended during the whole curing period. In addition, a silane coupling agent gamma-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (KH-550) was applied to treat the filling so as to improve the dispersion of BaTiO3 particles, which led to enhance the dielectric property of the material.
