The effect of interfacial interaction on charge storage in clay filled LDPE

The dielectric properties of low-density polyethylene (LPDE) filled with aluminum silicate clay fillers are studied by thermally stimulated currents and time domain dielectric spectroscopy. The change of the charge storage behavior and related dielectric responses due to the polymer-filler interactions is investigated by analyzing the effect of the particle sizes of the fillers and that of surface modification of the fillers.
