Abstract
ABSTRACTHerein, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets coated with insulated polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were integrated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to investigate the effects of the insulating PVP shell, loading, and its reaction time on the dielectric properties of the nanocomposites. Compared with the pristine GO/PVDF, the GO@PVP/PVDF nanocomposites show an improvement of the filler dispersion, and significantly suppressed conductivity and loss. Activation energies of GO/PVDF and GO@PVP/PVDF nanocomposites are calculated as 1.247 eV and 0.435 eV, respectively, indicating that the presence of PVP layer on the GO surface reduces the relaxation activation energy and makes the relaxation occurrence at low temperatures.
