Dielectric properties of silver nanowires-filled polyvinylidene fluoride composite with low percolation threshold
Source abstract
Abstract
Large-scale silver nanowires (AgNWs) with a width of 50–60 nm and a typical length of 10 ± 5 μm were synthesized conveniently through a simple polyol reduction method, and the weight of obtained AgNWs was close to 10 g in this one-pot reaction with 500 ml of solution. The as-prepared AgNWs were incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride matrix (PVDF) to fabricate the AgNWs/PVDF composites, and dielectric behaviors of the composites were investigated. The results revealed that a low percolation threshold of 1.8 vol% was observed in the AgNWs/PVDF composites, which was due to the large aspect ratio of one-dimension structured AgNWs. A giant dielectric constant of 80,000 at 1 kHz was obtained with 1.8 vol% of AgNWs mainly caused by the percolation effect. Besides, the large micro-capacitor networks and strong interfacial polarization at percolation threshold contributed to the enhanced dielectric constant.
