Abstract

In this work, samples of pure polystyrene and polystyrene (PS) doped with copper nanoparticles were prepared using casting method. The effect of addition of copper nanoparticles on dielectric properties of polystyrene has been studied. For this purpose, many samples have been prepared by adding Copper nanoparticles to the polystyrene with different weight percentages are (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9%) and different thickness. The experimental results showed that dielectric constant, dielectric loss are increasing with increase the concentration of the copper nanoparticles and decreasing with increase of the frequency of applied electrical feld, A.C electrical conductivity are increasing with increase the copper nanoparticles and frequency of applied electrical feld.
