Effects of high contents of dielectric inclusions on ferroelectricity in dielectric-ferroelectric nanocomposites with dimethylammonium aluminum sulfate hexahydrate

Abstract

The present study is devoted to analyzing effects of high contents (85 wt.%) of dielectric inclusions, including nanocellulose and silicon dioxide nanoparticles, on ferroelectricity of composites which are made by combining dimethylammonium aluminum sulfate hexahydrate with each of them. The obtained results revealed that in the case of using nanocellulose, the ferroelectricity was not detected in fresh composite samples, but then gradually appeared over time. Meanwhile, the ferroelectricity was not observed in the composite with silicon dioxide during the observation time.
