Temperature-stable dielectric constant and low thermal expansion in linear low-density polyethylene/copper vanadate composites
摘要
Rational design of thermoplastic composites exhibiting temperature-stable dielectric response and minimized thermal expansion holds significant technological importance for advanced electrical and electronic applications. This study demonstrates a novel strategy to attain these aims through the integration of copper vanadate (β-Cu2V2O7) particles into linear low-density polyethylene matrix. The optimized composite films exhibit good thermal stability of dielectric constant over a broad temperature range (20–120 °C), suppressed thermal expansion, and good melt-reprocessability. The synergy of phase stability and optimized filler–polymer interactions underpins the temperature-stable dielectric response. The negative thermal expansion characteristics of β-Cu2V2O7 enable realization of dimensional stability. Such unique property combination addresses critical material requirements for electronic components operating under thermal cycling conditions, particularly in energy transmission systems and electronic packaging.
