Dielectric Behavior and Functionality of PVC / Cellulose acetate Composite

Abstract

Cellulose acetate powder which is extracted from the cigarette (insulator part as a filler) has been used with polymer to produce PVC Cement/cellulose acetate composite. The dielectric behavior of this composite is analyzed as a function of weight ratio of cellulose acetate powder (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 wt%), temperature range (30 - 120) ◦C and frequency (120Hz 2MHz). Impedance and AC conductivity (ζac.) of the composites behaviors as function of frequency and temperature have also studied. The results show that, the real permittivity, dielectric loss and loss tangent for all composites increase the with increasing of cellulose acetate filler content
