Dielectric Constant of Polymer Composites and the Routes to High-k or Low-k Nanocomposite Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The continuous miniaturization and increased functionality of modern electronic devices highly demand the development of high-performance dielectric materials. High-k or low-k polymer nanocomposites are receiving a fast-growing interest due to their large tunability of dielectric constant and easy processing. The dielectric properties are usually tuned by properly selecting the identity, shape, property of fillers, and engineering the interfaces between fillers and matrix. In this chapter, we review the recent progress in the fundamentals, processes, and properties of dielectric polymer composites. Particular attention is paid on the current routes toward high-k or low-k nanocomposite materials. Some long-standing problems and topics that warrant further investigations in the near future are also discussed.
