Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4-polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated for their dielectric property which constitutes the dielectric constant , and dielectric loss factor . Nickel zinc ferrites (NZF) were prepared via the conventional solid state method and sintered at 1250 oC for 10 hours. Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4 acts as filler while PP is the matrix. 5% and 25% NZF were added into the PP and blended to form NZF-PP composites. Dielectric measurements were made from room temperature to 120 oC at 20 oC intervals using the HP 4284A Precision LCR Meter at frequencies 240 Hz to 1 MHz. is almost constant and independent of frequency and temperature below 100 KHz before decreasing showing dispersion probably due to space charge or interfacial polarization. Distinct relaxation loss peaks can be seen emerging at about 100 KHz shifting towards the higher frequency with increasing temperature. Generally, increasing the content of filler improve the dielectric strength of the composite. Thus, addition of NZF enhances the dielectric properties of NZF-PP composite.
