Abstract

Multifunctional polymeric composites were investigated for potential use in high energy storage capacitors and tissue engineering. The polymeric composites were fabricated by employing biodegradable polyester, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx), as the matrix. Ferroelectric BaTiO3ceramic powders were added to the composites as fillers. The dielectric spectroscopy of the composites was measured over a wide frequency range (100-107Hz) from -100 to 60°C. The composition dependent dielectric behavior was modeled by a self-consistent effective medium theory. A percolation threshold of 0.367 was observed in the composites. The glass transition relaxation of the composite was also discussed by comparing the popular Vögel-Fulcher-Tammann law with a new glass model. The composites show attractive ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity for biomedical applications.
