Abstract :
Temperature-stable high-dielectric-constant thermoplastic polymer composites with low loss tangent are expected to find use in outdoor and indoor wireless applications. The authors introduce a method of generating such a composite, by balancing the temperature coefficient of the dielectric constant of the polymer matrix with those of the high-dielectric-constant ceramic fillers
