Ferroelectric polymer/silver nanocomposites with high dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity

Ferroelectric polymer nanocomposites with silver (Ag) nanoparticles as inclusions were prepared and the dielectric properties and thermal conductivity were studied. The results showed that the nanocomposites have high dielectric constant and high thermal conductivity. When the loading level of Ag nanoparticles is 20.0 vol %, the dielectric constant and thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites were 120 at 10(3) Hz and 6.5 W/mK, respectively. Our results also showed that there is no percolation in the nanocomposites when Ag loading range is within 20.0%.
