Polymer-based nanocomposites 169

in comparison with the conventional nanocomposites. By exploiting the properties of
nanoparticles and nanofibers, the dielectric properties of three-phase nanocomposites
can be further modified as compared with two-phase nanocomposites. Selective local-
ization of fillers in a particular polymer may tune the dielectric properties of polymer
blend nanocomposites. To meet the necessities of the flexible polymer
nanocomposites with high energy density, considerable efforts have to be devoted
to exhibit improved dielectric properties. The choice of suitable functional groups
is a must so that these polymers can interact efficiently with the reinforcing materials
and causes minimal dielectric loss.
