摘要

Polymer nanodielectrics of Poly (styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) P(St-co-MMA) and hydrothermally synthesized CeO2 nanoparticles were prepared by solution casting technique. The effect of crystallinity and free volume of P(St-co-MMA)/CeO2 polymer nanodielectrics on AC conductivity and dielectric properties is studied. The positron lifetime parameters of P(St-co-MMA)/CeO2 polymer nanodielectrics viz. o-Ps lifetime (τ3) and free volume size (Vf) show higher values for 0.4 wt% CeO2 nanofiller loading. AC conductivity \({(\sigma }_{ac})\) ( σ ac ) and dielectric constant ( \({\varepsilon }{\prime}\) ε ) also show higher values for 0.4 wt% of CeO2 nanoparticles loading. The increased value of AC conductivity \({(\sigma }_{ac})\) ( σ ac ) and dielectric constant ( \({\varepsilon }{\prime}\) ε ) in the P(St-co-MMA)/CeO2 polymer nanodielectrics for 0.4 wt% of CeO2 nanoparticles loading is attributed to the increased mobility and ionic polarization of Ce4+ and O2 ions in the interface region. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) and charge–discharge studies were also carried out to assess the electrochemical nature of P(St-co-MMA)/CeO2 polymer nanodielectrics.
