Description
Summary:A series of (x) paper ash- (80-x) cullet – 20 Kaolin clay where 10 ≤x≤30 weight % has successfully been prepared using solid state reaction method. The ceramic density and hardness has been determined using Archimedes and Vickers hardness method respectively. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss has been determined using impedance analyzer. The obtained density is descending from 2.18 gcm-3 to 1.90 gcm-3 and hardness is increased up to 871.8 Mpa. The decrement of density and hardness as the cullet content increases is due to the non uniform vitreous areas formed in between ceramic particle. The variation of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent are found to decrease with increasing of frequency which suggest the dipolar polarizability properties. It is found that the maximum value of dielectric constant is 3000 and minimum dielectric loss tangent is 0.166.
