Abstract

Surface functionalization of BaTiO3 nanoparticles with dopamine was carried out using a reflux method to strongly bind dopamine on the BaTiO3 nanoparticle surface and improve its compatibility with the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer matrix. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirm the successful surface functionalization of BaTiO3 nanoparticles after immobilization with dopamine. Electrical properties of the resultant nanocomposite show that the dielectric constant can be enhanced up to 56.8 with low dielectric loss.
