Influence of nanoparticle surface modification on the electrical behaviour of polyethylene nanocomposites

Abstract: In this study, we present the results of the influence of surface modification of TiO2 nanoparticles on the short-term breakdown strength and space charge distribution of low-density polyethylene (LDPE). A polar silane coupling agent N-(2-aminoethyl) 3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane (AEAPS) was used for the nanoparticle surface modification. Despite agglomeration and a poor interface compared to untreated nanoparticles, it was found that the incorporation of polar groups onto the nanoparticle surface improved b… Show more

“…The treated silica agglomerates showed nucleating effect and reduced the size and perfection of the spherulites, and the measurement of water contact angle also indicated great difference between the treated and untreated silica nanocomposites [88]. The breakdown strength of treatedTiO 2 /LDPE showed a nearly 40% increase than that of as-received nanoscale TiO 2 -filled specimens [89]. These results mean that the surface condition of nanoparticles is the dominant factor to determine the macroscopic performances of nanodielectrics.…”
