Abstract

The low dielectric loss ceramic-polymer composites were prepared by extrusion processing technique with high density polyethylene (HDPE) as matrix and high permittivity ceramic powder in BaO-Nd2O3-TiO2 (BNT) system as filter. The dielectric response in microwave frequency range was characterized, and the experimentally observed dielectric properties were compared with the theoretical models. The relative permittivity of the composites is increased from 3 to 10 with the increase in the volume fraction of BNT filter from 10 to 40 vol%. The dielectric losses of composites are less than 0.001 for all compositions. For 40 vol% ceramic loaded HDPE, the relative permittivity of 10 and loss tangent of 0.0007 at 7 GHz were obtained. The BNT-HDPE composites are promising materials for microwave dielectric antenna applications.
