Preparation of BaTiO3/PMMA Dielectric Films by Screen Printing

The high-k composite dielectric ink is prepared by dispersing the surface modified BaTiO3 in PMMA solution. The high quality BaTiO3-PMMA composite films are screen printed on ITO glasses. BaTiO3 nanoparticles are surface modified with a silane coupling agent (MPTMS) to improve their affinity for PMMA matrix. The dielectric constant, loss tangent, specific capacitance and transmittance of BaTiO3/PMMA nanocomposites are investigated as the function of volume fraction of BaTiO3. These composites, which possess both high dielectric constant and low dissipation factors and can be screen printed at ambient temperature and pressures, have very wide practical applications.
