Description
Summary:The electrical properties of a metal fiber-polyester composite have been investigated as a function of temperature and frequency. The obtained results showed that the given composite behaves as n-type conductor with relatively low resistivity and low activation energy of the conduction mechanism takes place in the bulk. The complex dielectric constant was found to be a strong frequency dependent without exhibiting Maxwell-Wigner relaxation peaks. The high values of the dielectric constant agrees with the whole electrical behavior of the composite. The frequency independence of the impedance suggests that the composite has a promising electronic applications.
