Dielectric properties of epoxy resin–barium titanate composites at high frequency

DGEBA type epoxy resin, D.E.R. 331, was mixed with barium titanate, Y5V fillers, then cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM). It was found that the dielectric constant at high frequency, 1 M–1 GHz, increases with the solid content of barium titanate. By adding 80 wt.% of Y5V fillers, the dielectri...

Description
Summary:DGEBA type epoxy resin, D.E.R. 331, was mixed with barium titanate, Y5V fillers, then cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM). It was found that the dielectric constant at high frequency, 1 M–1 GHz, increases with the solid content of barium titanate. By adding 80 wt.% of Y5V fillers, the dielectric constant at 1 GHz can be increased from 3.2 of the sample without fillers to 13.1. A Lichtenecker's mixing model was proposed to describe the dielectric constant profile dependent on the filler loading. Furthermore, a model chip antenna was prepared and covered by an epoxy–barium titanate composite. The fundamental resonant mode of the antenna is excited at 2.452 GHz with a 10-dB return-loss bandwidth of about 191 MHz. It suggests that the antenna would be applied in 2.4 GHz ISM band for wireless communications.
