Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrids, with tailorable properties via control of their chemistries, offer great potential for many optical, electrical and mechanical applications. PDMS-based materials have been fabricated, having low optical losses of <0.15 dB/cm but the dielectric properties of these hybrids have rarely been explored or reported. In the present study, the dielectric properties of PDMS:SiO₂:TiO₂ films are explored as a function of composition and curing temperature using an impedance analyzer. Dielectric spectroscopy was also performed to investigate the dielectric relaxation and dispersion behaviors. Results indicate that ε_r at 1 MHz ranges from 3 to 5. Residual hydroxyl and alkoxy species in the films contribute to the overall polarizabilities especially at low frequencies (<100 kHz).
