Abstract

In this paper, an accurate model for computing dielectric constant of dielectric nanocomposites is presented. The effect of interaction zone between the nanofiller and the resin material is calculated and taken into consideration in the developed model for polymer and ceramic resins. Also, the effect of filler volume fraction, filler dielectric constant and particle shape is studied through the proposed model. Finally, the validity of the proposed model for evaluating the dielectric constant of a uniform composite system of discrete particles dispersed within a matrix is achieved by comparison with experimental results. The proposed model shows simplicity and gives accurate results as compared to the other theoretical models.
