Abstract

This research work elaborates the synthesis and characterization of PVDF nanocomposite films reinforced with Fe3O4 NPs and γ-SWCNTs. Nanocomposite film were synthesized through solution casting method, DMF (Dimethyleformamide) used as a solvent. For proper dispersion of nanofiller, samples were sonicated followed by reflux. Different types of PVDF nanocomposite were synthesized by adding different weight percent of nanofiller (0%, 0.03% γ-SWCNTs, 0.01% Fe3O4, 0.03% γ-SWCNTs/0.01% Fe3O4) to PVDF matrix. Results obtained from the analysis of Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-rays diffraction (XRD) were very informative for the phase change of PVDF from α-phase to β-phase, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows the thermal stability of the system, while impedance spectroscopy shows the enhancement in electrical and dielectrical properties of PVDF by incorporating nanofillers.
