Abstract

This article investigates the effect of Mg insertion into the Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The composite films were prepared using solution casting technique.

The dielectric study reveals the improvement in the dielectric constant and conductivity with the insertion of Mg ions in the PVDF composite. The MgCl₂/PVDF composite has immense potential in sensing and actuator applications.
