A dielectric nanocomposite based oncyanoethylatedcellulose (CRS) and MMT nanoclay was successfully prepared with different weight percentages (5%, 10% and 15%) of MMT. MMT nanoplatets obtained via sonication of MMT nanoclay in acetone for a prolonged period was used in the preparation of CRS-MMT nanocomposites. CRS-MMT thin films on SiO /Si wafers are used to form metal-insulator-metal (MIM) type capacitors. At 1 kHz CRS-MMT nanocomposites exhibited high dielectric constants (ε ) of 71, 55 and 42 with low leakage current densities (10 –10 A/cm ) for nanocomposites with 5%, 10% and 15% weight of MMT respectively, higher than values of pure CRS (21), Na-MMT(10). Reduction of ε with higher MMT loading can be attributed to a network formation as evidenced via strong bonding interactions between CRS and MMT leading to a lower molecular mobility. The leakage is studied using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) indicates that leakage pathways are associated with MMT nanoplatelets embedded in the CRS polymer matrix. 2 r r −6 −7 2
