Ba 0.5 Sr 0.5 TiO 3 /MgO ( BST /MgO) composite ceramics have been prepared in situ by using an oxalate precipitation process. SEM and TEM images show that oleic acid modified BST /MgO nanocomposite exhibits helminth‐like particles consisting of BST core and MgO shell. Results reveal that oleic acid modification is chemisorbed on MgO particles as a carboxylate to form MgO shell, which connects to interparticles. Accordingly, the BST particles are well surrounded naturally by a thin MgO layer in the composite ceramics. As a result, the oleic acid modified BST /MgO composite ceramics shows better dielectric properties, with permittivity of 203, loss tangent of 0.0025 (at 2.4 GHz), and tunability of 10.2%.
