Description

In this Letter, simple theoretical models are presented to predict the influence of aspect ratio, orientation, distribution, and interphase of layered silicates on the dielectric properties of polymer-clay nanocomposites. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data. The results show that the morphology of the clay fillers and the thickness and dielectric properties of the interphases play an important role in determining the dielectric properties of polymer-clay nanocomposites
