Abstract

This study investigates the dielectric properties, including dielectric constant (ɛ′), dielectric loss (ɛ″), tangent delta (tan δ), and AC conductivity (σac), of PVA/Y2O3 polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). The dielectric behavior of the PNCs was examined as a function of frequency and temperature. The results revealed that the addition of Y2O3 nanoparticles to the PVA matrix influenced the dielectric properties of the composites. In contrast to pure PVA, the PVA/Y2O3 PNCs with a 15 wt% Y2O3 loading exhibited high values of ɛ′, ɛ″, tan δ and σac are 647.49, 1607.48, 9.70 and 1.024 × 10−5, respectively, at low frequency and at particular temperature. Furthermore, the electrical properties of PVA/Y2O3 PNCs were also investigated using the Cole-Cole plots. These plots provide valuable insights into the complex impedance behavior and allow for comprehensive understanding of the electrical response of the nanocomposites.
