论文简介    Polymer-based dielectric composites with inorganic oxide fillers could exhibit synergistic physical and chemical characteristics from both advantages, which have flexible applications in electrical and electronic technology. As composites with various substances, the interface structure plays a key role in the electric and dielectric properties. In this work, BaTiO3 particles were embedded in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) by a solution crystallization process. The conductivity and dielectric constant of the composites increased with the increase of BaTiO3 filler contents. The charge injection and dissipation behavior in the nano-interface of the composite is investigated by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM). It is found that the charges are more easily injected into the nano-interface between the particle and the polymer. The accumulation and dissipation of surface charges obey the exponential law. The space charge polarization is also suggested to be a key factor of injection, while the charge dissipation is determined by the charge tunneling. The result is also demonstrated that the strong interfacial polarization between the BaTiO3 particles and the PVDF matrix played a crucial role in the dielectric properties. This work provides significant insights on understanding the interfacial charge transport in dielectric composites.
