Abstract

We report pyroelectric responsivity versus depth profiles in nanocomposites of powdered barium titanate and tripropylene glycol diacrylate obtained by using the thermal pulse (TP) method. The ceramic nanopowder (mean particle size 270 nm) was prepared by combined solid-state polymerization and pyrolysis of a metallo-organic precursor. Films of powder/monomer dispersion (thickness difference 30 micro}mu) were cured by irradiation with an electron beam (energy 140 keV, dose 80 kGy). The observation of a TP response after electron beam curing (EBC) indicates the appearance of a poling electric field as an effect of the EBC. The polarization depth profiles were studied for different filler contents. The composites show potential promise for piezo and pyroelectric sensors applications and for charge storage in microelectronics.
