| Abstract: | To explore an effect of temperature on the dielectric properties in polyaniline/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PANI/PVDF) composites, the dielectric properties of these composites with different volumetric fractions of PANI (?PANI) were studied in a wide temperature range. An increase in the effective conductivity (σeff) and dielectric permittivity (?eff) was observed with increasing temperature in all PANI/PVDF composites. Particularly, for the composite with ?PANI = 0.01, less than the percolation threshold (?C = 0.045), the increase in σeff and ?eff was most significant. A tunneling effect could be responsible for the unique dielectric properties. The results provided us useful information related to the microstructure of composites, which was not reported previously. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
