Key Points

To develop KH550-functionalized graphene/waterborne polyurethane composite films that enhance dielectric response and overcome charge-coupling limitations in miniaturized electric-field sensing electrodes.
Modified single-layer and multilayer graphene powders with the silane coupling agent KH550 and dispersed them in a waterborne polyurethane and PVP matrix to form composite films.
Characterized structural and chemical features using SEM, EDS, Raman, and FTIR spectroscopy.
Evaluated electrical behavior through low-frequency dielectric measurements and broadband high-frequency impedance spectroscopy.
Under AC excitation, the relative permittivity of the composite film with KH550-functionalized multilayer graphene increased by approximately 18% compared to the unmodified counterpart.
Broadband measurements revealed distinct material-dependent changes in reflection minima, resistance maxima, and capacitive–inductive transitions compared to unmodified and copper electrodes.
