Abstract:
A novel nanocomposite based on poly(N-octadecyl-2-ethynylpyridinium bromide) (PNOEtPyBr) and Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 nanosheets is synthesized by the method of exfoliation-reflocculation. The XRD data of the nanocomposite indicates the formation of Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 nanosheets/PNOEtPyBr nanostructure with an interlayer expansion of 4.6 nm along a direction perpendicular to the Mg(0.04)Nb(1.66)O5 nanosheets. Formation of this nanocomposite is further supported by the results obtained by FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. This nanocomposite exhibits interesting dielectric properties with a dielectric constant of 18.7 F/m at 1000 Hz and 25 degrees C, which are also compared to the properties of HMg(0.34)Nb(1.66)O5 and PNOEtPyBr.
