Dielectric materials and actuators

The fabrication of flexible epoxy thin film composites was investigated in this study. Neat epoxy with a resin-to-hardener ratio of 100:32 exhibits higher tensile properties and thermal stability than neat epoxy with a resin-to-hardener ratio of 100:45. In addition, the thermal stability of epoxy composites decreased as the NiZn ferrite content in the epoxy was increased. This result could be caused by the catalytic effect of ferrite. Vibration sample magnetometer results revealed the ferrimagnetic behavior of the ferrite-filled epoxy composites. The degree of saturation magnetization of the epoxy composites increased with the addition of NiZn ferrite nanoparticles. Dielectric tests were performed at room temperature and at frequencies ranging from 104 Hz to 106 Hz. These findings indicate that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss are dependent on the filler concentration and test frequency.
