Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder has been blended with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to manufacture a composite polymer with variable permittivity. Vector network analyser measurements taken between 0.75-1.1 THz quantify the relationship between TiO2 concentration and complex permittivity of the resultant material. Complex 3D structures have been produced with a casting process. Applications for the tunable-permittivity polymer include dielectric regions in photonic and plasmonic devices operating at terahertz frequencies as well as single pixel imaging systems.
