Abstract
This paper examines the hydrothermal aging of XLPE/silica nanocomposites. Nanocomposites are exposed to humid environment with a relative humidity of 100% at 50°C and the changes in moisture diffusion and electrical strength are investigated. In addition to moisture decreasing the electrical performance of nanocomposites somewhat, there is evidence that moisture can permanently damage the nanocomposites.
