Area of Expertise:

Polymer Science and Technology

Research Interest:

Fluoropolymers are utilized as thin films for piezoelectrics and ferroelectric electrical devices due to their remarkable chemical and electrical properties. The fluoropolymer incorporated with nano-fillers showed an increased in the permittivity of the nano composites. Due to the ultra-large interfacial area per volume of nano-particles, small percentage of nano-fillers are capable to enhance the nano–composite properties due to high molecular interactions. The optimization of filler loading and processing technique can further improve the dielectric and electric property of the nanocomposites. The study on film morphology and moelecular interactions are also emphasize to determine the type of fillers and polymers utilied as well as the size of fillers and method required for film preparation. This optimized and favourable film will ultimately utilized for organic memory devices.
