The subject of this doctoral thesis is the study of dielectric properties of a binary composite made up of a polymer matrix and metallic filler. Properties of such composites have been extensively examined in the past and they turned out to depend on temperature, frequency and in particular on filler concentration. The objective of this work was first to experimentally establish and second to describe quantitatively the effect of the size of metallic particles on the properties of the composite concerned, yet at the same filler concentration. This study was carried out on the model system ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer – nickel. The acquisition of experimental results required extensive measurements in a wide frequency and temperature interval, as well as a manufacture and preparation of a large set of samples with different concentrations and Ni filler sizes. Measurements were in part carried out at the Centre for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, Institute of Experimental Physics V of the University of Augsburg (Germany) and, after the installation of a new cryogenic system, at the Department of Physics at FEEC, BUT Brno. Measurements were performed on a number of meters (Alpha-Analyzer of Novocontrol, HP4284A and HP4285A of Hewlett Packard and E4991A of Agilent) in the frequency range 1 Hz – 1 MHz and in the temperature interval 10 K – 300 K. The nickel concentration in systems studied varied from 0 % to 75 % and nickel particles were of a spherical shape with diameters between 35 and 115 m. The measurement results have shown that in the above frequency and temperature window just a single relaxation and a single conductivity mechanism occur. It was also proved that the frequency dependence of complex permittivity is for different Ni particle sizes at the same concentration different. These results have been quantified and a simple mathematical formula based on the Lichtenecker mixture rule has been proposed for their description. The physical origin of the effect of particle size at the same total nickel concentration is sought in different surface areas of internal interfaces between nickel and polymer in the composite

The dissertation deals with the time-domain dielectric relaxation spectroscopy of carboxymethylcellulose. The main attention was paid to the experimental part of research, mainly to the design and subsequent development of an experimental setup for the measurement of discharge currents and for their processing and analysis. The subject of the measurement is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which is a simple polysaccharide used in wide range of applications, among else also in biomedical engineering. The study of CMC properties has required the development of a new experimental set-up of original design, which includes the equilibration (short-circuiting) of a sample before the measurement, charging and discharging at defined time intervals, switching between these two modes, recording of measurement, adjustments and processing of measured signals up to Fourier transformation into the frequency domain and, finally, calculation of complex permittivity of the sample. The frequency dependence of complex permittivity or its imaginary part, obtained by Fourier transformation of discharge current in time domain, is then referred to as the dielectric spectrum. In view of the fact that current measurements were done at very low levels of measured signal (below 10-12 A) the whole measurement was no easy matter. The framework of the work also necessitated studies and subsequent resolution of problems associated with shielding, grounding, presence of noise and sensitivity to various ambient influences. The research work focused on a reliable and trustworthy measurement of very low discharge currents and, subsequently, mathematical processing of noise present in them, i.e., operations with the original, experimentally established signal in time domain, leading in principle to a digital filtration of measured dielectric data. A further pursued objective is the explanation of dielectric parameters of tested carboxymethylcellulose sample in the widest possible frequency spectrum. The integral part of the research was the selection and application of the method for the transformation of the adjusted signal to the frequency domain. The experimental works, including data processing, were carried out in the Department of Physics, Brno FEEC BUT. Measurements were done with Keithley 617 Electrometer, HP4284A Frequency Analyzer and Janis CCS-400-204 cryogenic system. The results were completed with results obtained at the V Department of Experimental Physics, Centre for Electronic Correlations and Magnetism, University of Augsburg, Germany.

Dans le cadre de la thèse des modèles physico-mathématiques pour des microsystèmes électromécaniques avec une permittivité générale sont développés et analysés par des méthodes mathématiques modernes du domaine des équations aux dérivées partielles. En particulier ces systèmes sont à frontière libre et pour conséquence difficiles à traiter. Des méthodes numériques ont été développées pour valider les résultats analytiques obtenus. / In the framework of this thesis physical/mathematical models for microelectromechanical systems with general permittivity have been developed and analysed with modern mathematical methods from the domain of partial differential equations. In particular these systems are moving boundary problems and thus difficult to handle. Numerical methods have been developed in order to validate the obtained analytical results.

Ce travail de thèse se situe dans le concept général de contrôler, améliorer et optimiser la performance électrique des matériaux composites par l'analyse systématique de la réponse diélectrique globale des matériaux composites pour différentes morphologies. Pour mener à des informations complètes, une corrélation entre trois approches indépendants a été réalisée: des simulations numériques, des calculs analytiques et des mesures diélectriques (spectromètre diélectrique de type Novo-contrôle). D'abord on a établie des lois d'échelles et la contribution originale de cette thèse est de réussir à mettre des lois d'échelle universelle pour la réponse diélectrique globales des matériaux composites qui sont censés de servir à la base pour les actuelles et futures études sur les propriétés électriques et diélectriques des matériaux composites. Comme application, ces lois d'échelles que nous avons dérivées nous ont permis de développer des applications, tel que la conception des matériaux multicouches à haute permittivité et faible pertes diélectriques au service des applications dans des domaines de stockage d'énergie, en ajustant les valeurs de conductivité et les fractions de volume des phases constituantes. Cet approche a été menée sur des composites en structure bicouches constitués d'une superposition de couches de polymères ayant des conductivités différentes. Et en plus, ces lois d'échelles ont été à la base pour la découverte pour la première fois, d'un critère de discrimination entre deux types différent de polarisation électriques: la polarisation interfaciale de type MWS et la polarisation d'électrode. Aussi, on a dérivé une nouvelle formule qui est valable à la fois pour la polarisation d'électrode et les effets de la polarisation interfaciale. Elle permet non seulement d'estimer l'épaisseur des couches interfaciales formées à l'électrode en raison des effets de polarisation mais aussi à développer une nouvelle méthode de mesure de la conductivité des matériaux sans contact direct qui a servi pour des mesures couplées diélectrique – mécanique / This research is significant in that it not only develops a generalized approach for modeling the electrical properties of multiphase composite materials but also introduces novel experimental applications in the domain of dielectric properties of composite materials. In order to get complete information: numerical simulations, analytical calculations and dielectric measurements by means of Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) were carried out in this study. First, we derived the scaling laws through a systematically study of global dielectric response of composite materials with different morphology and the original contribution of this thesis is to succeed to derive a universal scaling laws for the global dielectric response of composite materials. Based on these scaling laws three achievements are taken place: designing layered polymer materials with high values of permittivity and low dielectric losses, by adjusting the values of conductivity and the volume fraction of the constituent phases. Also, we discover a new discrimination criterion for electrical polarizations at external and internal interfaces: electrode polarization vs. (MWS) interfacial polarization effects in dielectric spectra of materials. This work opens the general perspective of finding discrimination criteria for different types of electrical polarization, which will represent a useful tool in disseminating the nature of different contributions appearing in the dielectric spectra of materials. Based on our analysis, we derive a new formula. This formula is valid for both electrode polarization and interfacial polarization effects. It allows one to determine the conductivity value from the frequency position of the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars peak. Measurements of the conductivity values of samples without a direct contact are done. An excellent agreement between experiment and calculations is obtained. This results offer the opportunity to develop a new coupled electrical-mechanical approach, by electrical measurements performed during mechanical stretching
