Dielectric Behaviour of Zn/Al-NO3 LDHs Filled with Polyvinyl Chloride Composite at Low Microwave Frequencies by Ethar Y. Salih, Zulkifly Abbas, Samer Hasan Hussein Al Ali, Mohd Zobir Hussein

“…The essential properties of polymer-based composites can be modified by varying the amount of Zn/Al-NO3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) added to polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Therefore, by determining the optimal ratio of LDH in the PVC matrix, the dielectric properties of PVC-LDH composites can be improved. …”
