Insulation materials can be tailored by compounding nanofillers and polymer materials. The advantageous changes in properties of polymer nanocomposites can be explained by the large interface area of the nanofillers. Theoretical models developed in the field of nanodielectrics concentrate on the analysis of the interface volume.
Dielectric breakdown strength (DBS) is one of the most important properties of an insulation material. The DBS of nanocomposites depends heavily on the nanofiller content and even small quantities can cause improvement. This is linked to the maximum interface volume achieved already at low nanofiller concentrations. Homogeneous nanodispersion is the key for DBS increase and reliable results. Often the most profitable nanofiller quantities are below 5 wt-%. The same kind of behaviour can be seen with different voltage shapes, but with dc voltage the increase is bigger. DBS has a maximum value with respect to nanofiller amount and decreases thereafter. Filler quantities around 5 wt-% and even lower are the most attractive considering DBS of nanocomposites.
