The poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based hybrid composites with a blended BaTiO3 (BT)- exfoliated graphene (EG) as filler were fabricated with the efficient method of solution casting and hot pressing and their dielectric properties were investigated in detail. Beforehand, both of the nanoparticles are funtionalized to improve the interfacial bonding between fillers and matrix. Synergistic effects arising from blending 0-dimensional BT and 2-dimensional EG are identified by the improved distribution of nanopaticles in PVDF host and mitigating the concomitant increase in dielectric loss while maintaining the high dielectric constant values of the composites.
