Mahdi et al.Film prepared by solution casting with thickness of 25 μm. Dielectric constant was obtained for unfilled PVDF-TrFE 7.2 at 1 kHz, with tangent loss of 0.1 at similar frequency.[37]
Singh et al.PVDF-TrFE/MgO prepared by solution casting with 20 μm thick film. However, no dielectric constant value was recorded.[38]
Chen et al.Addition of MgO into PVDF with varying loading percentage between 1 and 4%. The dielectric constant value decreased with increase in MgO loading. Dielectric constant recorded at a frequency of 1 kHz was 7.5.[39]
