Also, it deals with the study of the thermal stability and the electrical properties: I-V characteristics, DC-, AC-conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss for the parent compounds and their composites. The work carried out in this thesis has been presented in five main chapters: The first chapter, is the general introduction, which contains literature survey about the investigated samples and the aim of work. The second chapter, describes and explains the theoretical review and the different .methods of calculation used for analyzing the results (DC-, AC-conductivity, dielectric constant 6’ and dielectric loss 6”). The third chapter, shows the experimental work which consists of: (i)- The preparation methods of the investigated compounds including the three parents (ferric oxide, aluminum oxide, and polyesterurethane ) and their composites prepared by mixing with 10% LiF and 20% LiCl, (mole %), separately. (ii)- The techniques used in the investigation of the samples (pT-IR, TG and DTA, as well as two probes DC- and AC-electrical measurements). The fourth chapter deals with the characterization of the samples by the instruments used and investigating their thermal stability and I-V characteristics. --------- .._- S!.Z!u!!!m!!Jm~a!:!lry~an!!!!td..loQ””,o!!Jn~cl!.Hus:l!Jli.!!·on!.!lS!..- 153 In the fifth chapter, the results of DC and AC-conductivity, relative permittivity e’ , and dielectric loss e” for the investigated samples at a wide temperature range of 303-723 K for inorganic samples and 78-420 K for organic samples and at a frequency range of 102_106 Hz were reported and discussed. The main conclusions ar.e the foUowing: (1). All investigated substances did not show switching phenomenon at room temperature using electric field up to 5000 Vtern, and the organic samples obey Ohm’s law at a voltage up to 1000 V, while the values of n in the 1- V- relation is higher than unity for the inorganic samples due to the formation of space-charge limiting current. (2). The DC-conductivity values obtained at -400 K and AC-conductivity at 300 K for inorganic samples were found to increase in the order: Fe.zOJ<( Fe LiF 10) < ( Fe LiCI 20 ) And AI20J < (AI LiF 10 ) < ( AI LiCI 20 ) While for organic samples the order of increase is: (po LiCI 20) <Polymer <(po LiF 10) (3). The change in conductivity values was explained on the basis of the change in the concentration of additive compounds, molecular rearrangement, type of phases formed in the materials, as well as the ionic radii of F- and cf ions. ------ !2.Su!!JmnmmY.ql:lrv””and!:fm!.:Cld!ionwcii!lusf!ol!io!!jn~s!.-- l54 (4). UAC are higher than UDC for all samples, at any temperature, referring to the presence of polarization effect. At the same time the AC-conductivity increases with increasing the frequency due to the decrease in the barrier effect with increasing frequency (i.e. hopping mechanism predominates in the investigated samples). Although some other conduction mechanisms were employed to explain the obtained results. (5). The AC-conductivity showed a semimetallic behaviour at lower temperatures for ferric oxide, polyesterurethane, and their composites. Also the DC- and AC-conductivities showed a metallic behaviour at lower temperatures for alumina and its composites. (6). The DC- and AC-conductivities for all samples showed also semiconducting and insulating behaviour at certain temperature ranges, especially at higher temperatures, depending on their composition. (7). There are many types of polarization in the investigated samples, the most important of them is the ionic polarization. (8). The values .of e’ are less ~40 for the pure ferric oxide, aluminum oxide, and polyesterurethane at the whole temperature range investigated, which refers to that these compounds behave as simple dielectric materials especially at lower temperatures. (9). While some compounds such as ( AI LiF 10 ), ( Po LiF 10 ), and ( Po LiCI 20 ) are simple dielectrics, other composites such as ( Fe LiF 10), and( AI LiCI 20 ) behave as ferroelectric materials and have a relative permittivity values higher than 10000.

The breaks occurring in the electrical properties data with temperature, for all samples, suggested the presence of some phase transitions in the investigated samples. (11). The investigated composites can be used in many electric applications, especially in the form of ceramics, depending on the wide range of their conductivity values, and encouraged by their economic prices. |
