Abstract
The dielectric behaviour of composites of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been studied by changing the weight fraction of BaTiO3. The dielectric behaviour of the composites has a significant influence of PVDF up to 50wt% BaTiO3 in the composite, but this effect is insignificant at higher weight fractions of BaTiO3. X-ray diffraction studies on composites are also reported to correlate the observed dielectric changes with the corresponding structural changes.
