Compact Representation and Statistical Significance of Measurement Data Reflecting Electric Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites

Abstract:

The paper is devoted to investigation of frequency-dependent electric properties of polymer nanocomposites. The experimentally acquired frequency characteristics of complex dielectric permittivity are substituted by equivalent mathematical models of dielectric relaxation. It is shown that such substitution is valid, provided that the selected relaxation model allows shaping the synthesized frequency curves in a sufficient range and the statistical significance of the measurement data is within a satisfactory range.
