Permittivity characteristics of epoxy/alumina nanocomposite with high particle dispersibility by combining ultrasonic wave and centrifugal force

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel technique to fabricate epoxy/alumina nanocomposites with nanoparticle composite process by combination of ultrasonic wave and centrifugal force. The particle dispersion effect of the nanoparticle composite process and its influence on dielectric permittivity were discussed quantitatively. Experimental results clarified that the combination of ultrasonic wave and centrifugal force was effective to increase dispersed nanoparticles and as well as to separate residual agglomerates. We verified that the improvement of particle dispersibility in the nanoparticle composite process by combination of ultrasonic wave and centrifugal force could bring about lower permittivity of the nanocomposites, especially than that of unfilled epoxy material.
