Realizing enhanced dielectric and mechanical performance of polyvinylidene fluoride/SiC nanocomposites through a bio-inspired interface design

The incorporation of high-dielectric permittivity ceramic or conductive fillers into the polymer is an effective method to obtain flexible high-performance dielectric materials, but it is still a huge challenge to achieve a balance between dielectric and mechanical properties. In this paper, we report a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite based on a novel crab leg-like filler, in which Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were decorated on the...
