Abstract

In the present study, graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend composite films were prepared using colloidal blending technique at various concentrations of GO (0–3wt.%). The morphological investigations of the prepared composites were carried out using polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electrical properties of composites were evaluated using an impedance analyzer in the frequency range 50Hz to 20MHz and temperature in the range 40–150 $^{\circ}$ $^{\circ}$ C. Morphological studies infer that GO was homogeneously dispersed in the PSSA/PVA blend matrix. Investigations of electrical property indicate that the incorporation of GO into PSSA/PVA blend matrix resulted in the enhancement of the impedance ( $Z)$ $Z)$ and the quality factor ( $Q$ $Q$ -factor) values. A maximum impedance of about 4.32 $\times$ $\times$ 10 $^{6} Ω$ $^{6} Ω$ was observed at 50Hz and 90 $^{\circ}$ $^{\circ}$ C for PSSA/PVA/GO composites with 3wt.% GO loading. The $Q$ $Q$ -factor also increased from 8.37 for PSSA/PVA blend to 59.8 for PSSA/PVA/GO composites with 3wt.% GO loading. These results indicate that PSSA/PVA/GO composites can be used for high- $Q$ $Q$ capacitor applications.
