Abstract

Abstract Novel high‐dielectric‐permittivity poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/polypropylene (PP) blend composites were prepared via a blending technology, and their dielectric properties were studied over wide ranges of temperatures and frequencies. To improve the interface bonding between PVDF and PP, a suitable compatibilizer, polypropylene‐ graft ‐maleic anhydride (PP‐ g ‐MAH), was employed. The results showed that the concentration of PVDF in the composites dominated the changes in the dielectric properties and that the use of PP‐ g ‐MAH could improve the interface interaction between PVDF and PP, resulting in an increase in the dielectric permittivity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
