Composite materials are increasingly used for dielectric applications, i.e., applications that make use of electrically insulating or nearly insulating behavior. This is because of the need of the electronic industry for dielectric materials in electrical insulation, encapsulation, substrates, interlayer dielectrics in a multilayer ceramic chip carrier, printed circuit boards, and capacitors, and because of the rising importance of smart structures that use dielectric materials for piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and pyroelectric devices that provide sensing, actuation, etc. The dielectric...
