COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THERMAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES

Abstract

Nanocomposites based on poly (ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with
different types of nano-materials [Barium zirconate (BaZrO3), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and MMT etc]
has been prepared. Their molecular interactions are available inside the polymeric matrix and
various thermal properties primarily based on these substances are analyzed by the way of TSDC
(Thermally Stimulated Discharge Current). The peaks available in the TSDC spectra are the evidence
to confirm the appropriate interaction between the polymer and nanofiller. Their dielectric traits have
been strongly prompted because of the uniform spread of the nanofillers throughout the matrix. These
efficient polymeric matrix based nanocomposites could be applied as efficient dielectric materials in
the various electronic applications.
