Abstract

This study aims to prepare and examine the structure, thermal and dielectric properties of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 nanocomposite films. The data were collected via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dielectric measurements. The XRD spectrum of the Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 ferrite sample showed a spinel crystal structure with an average size 15 nm. In the X-ray diffraction spectra of the PVDF-Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 polymer nanocomposites, β-phase diffraction peak appeared at 2θ =  0.2°. SEM images of all the nanocomposite films exhibited a homogeneous distribution of nanostructured Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4. FTIR spectra depicted the absorption bands for α, β and γ-phase of PVDF as well as the carbonyl group of PVP. From TGA analysis, the activation energy for thermal decomposition decreased from 285.73 to 248.97 kJ/mol.K. Besides, there is a decrease in both ΔH and ΔG values with an increase in the Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4 concentration. The static dielectric constant (εs), the high-frequency dielectric constant (ε∞) and the dielectric strength (Δε) for these nanocomposites were lower than the pure PVDF/PVP film. The DC conductivity values were 2.27 × 10−14, 1.63 × 10−8, 2.04 × 10−10 and 1.61 × 10−8 S/cm for 0.0, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 wt% of Co0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4.
