Effect of water absorption on dielectric properties of nano-silica/polyethylene composites

Effect of water absorption on dielectric properties of nano-silica/polyethylene composites
The effect of moisture content on the dielectric properties of polymer/nano-silica blends was investigated. It was found that the DC breakdown strength, electrical conductivity and complex permittivity were all strongly influenced by absorbed water. However, a control sample without nano-silica was largely unaffected by changes in moisture content. This has important implications for researchers and cable designers.

Abstract

The effect of moisture content on the dielectric properties of polymer/nano-silica blends was investigated. It was found that the DC breakdown strength, electrical conductivity and complex permittivity were all strongly influenced by absorbed water. However, a control sample without nano-silica was largely unaffected by changes in moisture content. This has important implications for researchers and cable designers.
