Advantages of Dielectric Materials
Electrical insulation – Dielectric materials have high
electrical resistance, making them effective at
insulating electrical components and preventing
electrical current from flowing through them.
High breakdown strength – Dielectric materials can
withstand high voltage before breaking down,
making them suitable for use in high-voltage
applications.
Low loss – Dielectric materials have low
electrical loss, meaning that they do not
dissipate much electrical energy as heat.
Durability – Dielectric materials are generally
durable and resistant to wear, making them long-
lasting and suitable for use in harsh environments.
Versatility – Dielectric materials can be used in a
wide range of applications, including in capacitors,
transformers, and cable insulation.
Disadvantages of Dielectric Materials
Limited conductivity – Limited conductivity
Fragility – Some dielectric materials are brittle and
prone to breaking or cracking under stress.
High cost – Some dielectric materials, such as
ceramics, can be expensive to produce and may not
be cost-effective for certain applications.
Temperature sensitivity – Some dielectric materials
may have a limited temperature range in which they
can be used effectively.
Chemical sensitivity – Some dielectric materials may
be sensitive to certain chemicals and may be prone
to degradation when exposed to them.
Applications of Dielectric Material
Some of the applications of dielectrics are as
follows-
Electric Susceptibility
How easily a dielectric material can be polarized
when subjected to an electric field is measured by
the electric susceptibility. This quantity also
determines the electric permeability of the
material.
Types of Dielectric Material
are categorized based on the type of molecule
present in the material. There are two types of
dielectrics – Polar dielectrics and Non-polar
dielectrics. Polar Dielectrics In polar dielectrics, the
center of mass of positive particles does not
coincide with the center of mass of negative
particles. Here the dipole moment exists. The
molecules are asymmetrical in shape. When the
electric field is applied the molecules align
themselves with the electric field. When the electric
field is removed random dipole moment is observed
and the net dipole moment in the molecules
becomes zero. Examples are H2O, CO2, etc… Non-
Polar Dielectrics In the non-polar dielectrics, the
center of mass of positive particles and negative
particles coincide. There is no dipole moment in
these molecules. These molecules are symmetrical
in shape. Examples of non-polar dielectrics are H2,
Conclusions
Low-loss dielectric materials are extensively used in
wireless communication systems as well as in
several electronic devices. The important
characteristics required for practical applications are
low dielectric loss and good temperature stability of
the resonant frequency and permittivity. For
practical applications, these materials are usually
prepared in the ceramic form. The dielectric
properties depend considerably on the material,
crystal structure, porosity and imperfections in the
crystal lattice. The preparation conditions will also
influence the material properties. Calcination
conditions are important parameters which
influence the structure, secondary phase formation
and DR properties. Secondary phases …
