Abstract
The synthesis of multiwalled-carbon nanotubes/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (MWNT/PVDF) nanocomposites was investigated using wet-chemistry technique. The pure MWNTs were modified with 3,4,5-trifluorobromobenzene (TFBB) using wet-chemistry procedure. TFP-MWNTs were obtained by using a Grignard reaction with 3,4,5-trofluorobromophenylmagnesium, which was formed in diethyl ether from magnesium and TFBB. TFP-MWNts were ultrasonically dispersed in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to form a stable suspension. The properties of the chemically modified TFP-MWNT/PVDF composites were characterized by TEM and XPS. It was observed that functionalization of MWNTs with (TFBB) created MWNT/PVDF electroactive polymer composites (EAPC), which exhibited high dielectric permittivity (ε≈ 8000) compared to TFP-MWNTs. Result shows that TFP-MCNTs exhibit giant dielectric permittivity due to Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) effect at percolation and a thin insulating layer of PVDF.
