In the current study, the calcium copper titanate (CCTO)/polymer, barium titanate (BT)/polymer, and CCTO-BT/polymer composites with variable volume fractions of CCTO and BT are fabricated using hand lay-up and compression molding processes. The composites are characterized for the frequency dependence on dielectric properties, conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, and electrical modulus. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of CCTO-BT/polymer composite samples confirmed the presence of both CCTO and BT ceramic samples separately. The dielectric properties of hybrid CCTO-BT/polymer composites with 10 vol% CCTO 10 vol% BT, 12 vol% CCTO 8 vol% BT, and 8 vol% CCTO 12 vol% BT was found relatively better than those of the single ceramic filler reinforced polymer composites. AC conductivity analysis shows a significant improvement in the results of hybrid filler-filled CCTO-BT/polymer composites in comparison with single filler-filled polymer composites. Thus, impedance analysis confirms higher insulating properties for 8 vol% CCTO 12 vol% BT and 12 vol% CCTO 8 vol% BT hybrid CCTO-BT/polymer composites with respect to the single and other hybrid ceramic polymer composites. The analysis suggests the hybrid CCTO-BT/polymer composites to be adopted as a possible dielectric material for energy storage devices and other electronic applications.
