The Sandia National Laboratories Clinic team is researching nanocomposites made of barium titanate nanoparticles within a silicone-based polymer. Barium titanate is widely used in electronics and energy storage due to its ferroelectric properties. The team has fabricated these nanocomposites to measure how these properties change with nanoparticle size. In addition, the team has performed density functional theory simulations to understand how the silicone molecules bind to the surface of a barium titanate particle.
