Abstract :
This paper describe the effect of adding fillers into polymer for dielectric properties improvement. Two types of untreated phyllosilicate fillers which are MMT and FC selected to be used in order to strengthen HDPE, SIR and NR properties. The dielectric properties of three materials were observed from Tan Delta and breakdown strength. Based on the findings, the tested filler contribute a marginal improvement for certain electrical properties of insulation, i.e Tan Delta and breakdown voltage. The finding would give a good indicator on choosing the right filler to improve the performance of insulation properties.
