	abstract = {<p>The fabrication of high quality thin films of poly (vinylidene fluoride) embedded with multiwalled carbon nanotubes using pulsed laser deposition technique is reported. The prepared films were characterized for structural, morphology and dielectric properties. The morphology analysis revealed uniform dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes throughout the polymer matrix. X-ray diffraction results suggested that the poly (vinylidene fluoride) film is in amorphous phase while addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes showed presence of crystalline peaks in the nanocomposites films. It was interesting to note that the nanocomposite films exhibits significant enhancement of the ferroelectric beta-phase as evidenced by the X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results. The dielectric analysis shows a remarkable enhancement in the dielectric permittivity of nanocomposites with lower loss and conductivity level. The results can be attributed to the formation of minicapacitor network and relatively higher percolation threshold in the nanocomposites. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>We report the low thermal-emissive surface properties of composites of ZnO-polyimide. The composites were synthesized by depositing ZnO on polyimide surface by pulsed laser deposition technique. ZnO target was ablated at different incident energy densities and the substrate (polyimide) was held at elevated temperature. This facilitated the c-axis oriented growth of ZnO, which was inferred from the X-ray diffraction analysis. The composites consisted of multilayers having different electrical resistivities. The values of which are also estimated from Hagen-Rubens relation. The reduced infrared emissivities of the composite films, as compared to polyimide, were correlated to the increased carrier concentration and reduced surface resistivity estimated from the Hall measurements.
