On the dielectric response of silica-based polyethylene nanocomposites
On the dielectric response of silica-based polyethylene nanocomposites
The dielectric response of silica-based polyethylene nanocomposites is studied by dielectric spectroscopy. The results indicate that nanocomposites absorb significantly more water than unfilled polyethylene, with the consequence that both permittivity and loss tangent increase with increasing duration of water immersion. However, appropriate surface treatment of nanosilica is found to reduce the water absorption effect and to modify the dielectric response of the nanocomposites compared with those containing untreated nanosilica. While water absorption may not be a technologically desirable characteristic, our results indicate that water molecules can act as effective dielectric probes of interfacial factors.

Abstract
The dielectric response of silica-based polyethylene nanocomposites is studied by dielectric spectroscopy. The results indicate that nanocomposites absorb significantly more water than unfilled polyethylene, with the consequence that both permittivity and loss tangent increase with increasing duration of water immersion. However, appropriate surface treatment of nanosilica is found to reduce the water absorption effect and to modify the dielectric response of the nanocomposites compared with those containing untreated nanosilica. While water absorption may not be a technologically desirable characteristic, our results indicate that water molecules can act as effective dielectric probes of interfacial factors.
