Poly(arylene ether nitrile) Composites with Surface-Hydroxylated Calcium Copper Titanate Particles for High-Temperature-Resistant Dielectric Applications

Abstract

In order to develop high-performance dielectric materials, poly(arylene ether nitrile)-based composites were fabricated by employing surface-hydroxylated calcium copper titanate (CCTO) particles. The results indicated that the surface hydroxylation of CCTO effectively improved the interfacial compatibility between inorganic fillers and the polymer matrix. The composites exhibit not only high glass transition temperatures and an excellent thermal stability, but also excellent flexibility and good mechanical properties, with a tensile strength over 60 MPa. Furthermore, the composites possess enhanced permittivity, relatively low loss tangent, good permittivity-frequency stability and dielectric-temperature stability under 160 °C. Therefore, it furnishes an effective path to acquire high-temperature-resistant dielectric materials for various engineering applications.
