Abstract :
A thermoplastic such as polypropylene reinforced with small quantities (<5% by weight) of nano-sized particles could show reduced flammability as well as improved dielectric properties. This paper describes short-term dielectric properties of polypropylene containing 0%, 2%, and 4% by weight of dispersed organosilicates. AC and DC breakdown strength, tanδ, electroluminescence emission, and space charge distribution due to AC poling of polypropylene with and without the nanoparticles are reported.
