Electrical properties of polyethylene and polypropylene blend nanocomposites with fillers for high voltage insulation

This study investigated the electrical properties of polypropylene and low density polyethylene (PP/LDPE) nanocomposite filled with zirconium dioxide and silicon dioxide and compare the test results of these two fillers. All samples are tested in four different test to get the optimum results. The f...
