TL;DR: Results of bulk conductivity and surface potential decay measurements on low-density polyethylene and its nanocomposites filled with uncoated MgO and Al2O3 show a significant impact of the nanofillers on reduction of material’s direct current (dc) conductivity.

TL;DR: In this article, low density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites with a reduced conductivity of two orders of magnitude are reported as a novel insulation material for high voltage distribution of renewable energy.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the structure of the nanoparticle coating on the electrical conductivity of LDPE/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites was analyzed. And the results showed that an appropriate surface coating on nanoparticles allowed uniform particle dispersion up to a filler loading of 10 wt.%, with a maximum reduction in electrical conductivities by a factor of 35.

TL;DR: The simulations reveal that the contribution of charge carrier recombination to the total transport process becomes more significant at elevated temperatures and possible mechanisms for charge injection at different temperatures are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites based on dispersed MgO nanoparticle foams were obtained via freeze-drying aqueous suspensions of precipitated ca. 40 nm wide and 10 nm thick Mg(OH)(2) nanoparticles and dewatering (calcining) at 400 degrees C, resulting in a 25 times more voluminous powder compared to conventionally dried nanoparticles.
