A STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF POLYVINYLIDENE FLUORIDE MODIFIED WITH NICKEL NANOPARTICLES

摘要

The preparation of nanocomposites of poly(vinylidene fluoride) with various proportions of spherical nickel nanoparticles, and their characterisation by DSC, FTIR, polarised optical microscopy, dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss tangent, and activation energy of the polarisation process, is described. The effects of filler content on the heat stability, degree of crystallinity and supermolecular structure of the polymer were investigated and the results are discussed in terms of optimisation of properties. 11 refs.
