Promising Characteristics of Nanocomposite Dielectrics

Polymer nanocomposites possess promising high performances as engineering materials, if they are prepared and fabricated properly. It was also clarified that they could provide favorable performances as dielectrics and electrical insulation. Comprehensive reviews were given in literatures by the author firstly in 2004 and secondly in 2005. This review is based on the second paper and covers recent significant findings. It also utilizes a recently proposed multi-core model, i.e. a fine structure of "interaction zone" in order to explain various phenomena associated with nanocomposites
