High Dielectric Constant of Silver Nanowires–Epoxy Composites

Abstract:

Silver nanowires–epoxy composites were prepared via cryomilling dispersion and hot-press forming process. The microstructure of the silver nanowires was studied by SEM. Dependence of dielectric properties of the composites on volume fraction of silver nanowires and frequency was investigated RF impedance material analyzer. The percolation threshold of the composites was 0.16, the value of the dielectric constant of the composite was as high as 100.
