Abstract
Three types of ceramic/polymer composites were prepared and their electrical, dielectric and pyroelectric properties analyzed. The composite PZT5/VDF-TrFE shows a significantly higher pyroelectric figure of merit than PZT (VDF=vinylidine fluoride, TrFE=trifluoroethylene). The dielectric loss of the ceramic/polymer composites is observed to be dominated by those of the polymer, whereas the ceramic phase has a significant contribution on the steady-state electrical conduction and low-frequency dielectric loss at high temperatures
