Abstract
Modified polymer blends demonstrated the desirable properties and performance suitable for various applications. In the present investigation, we prepared the blends of crystalline Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/ with amorphous Polysulfone (PSF) by a solution technique. We have foreseen the miscibility of the PVDF/PSF polymer system by an optical polarizing microscope. The electrical quality factor (Q) of these polymer blends demonstrated increased quality magnitude with the shift in resonance frequency (\(f_{0}\)) and bandwidth (B.W.) confirmed by an impedance analyzer. The influence of the temperature on the quality factor was studied across the temperature scale (30 to 150 ∘C). This investigation was feasible for the development of a new class of polymer blends deployable for electronics and shielding applications.
