Polymer Functionalized Graphene as Dielectric Material

Abstract

In this chapter, the dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss properties of a polymer functionalized graphene (PFG)/polymer matrix are discussed. The PFG increases the dielectric constant and decreases the dielectric loss in a polymer matrix due to the formation of a microcapacitor network. Also sometimes low dielectric constant values of PFG/polymer composites are necessary to a lower value of 2, particularly for the electronics industry, and it is noticed in some cases. Probable explanations for the increase and decrease in the dielectric properties of these composites are discussed. The perspectives of these dielectric systems for applications in the power industry and semiconductor technology are also highlighted.
