Abstract :
High performance polymer nanocomposites are emerging as a new class of materials for demanding application in all electrical and electronic equipments. In the present work, inclusion of nanoclay into epoxy matrix on the dielectric behavior has been studied at different filler loading, frequency and temperature respectively. In addition, the effect of mixing speed (at 14,000 and 24,000 rpm), on the dielectric behavior have been studied.
