Abstract
Nanocomposite of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/TiO/sub 2/ was prepared via solution blending method. The disperse performance of TiO/sub 2/ in LDPE was observed with Scanning Electron Microscope. It is shown that TiO/sub 2/ could be dispersed uniformly in LDPE through controlling temperature and content of the solution of LDPE, and the largest conglomeration diameter of TiO/sub 2/ in LDPE is less than 80 nm. At the same time, space charge distribution of samples with and without nano TiO/sub 2/ was measured with Pulsed Electroacoustic Method. Hetero-polar space charge near electrodes is much less in sample of nanocomposite of LDPE/TiO/sub 2/ than that in pure LDPE under lower direct current (DC) stress (no more than 40 kV/mm), and space charge in the central of sample of LDPE/TiO/sub 2/ is much more uniform than that in pure LDPE. Thus electrical stress concentration is improved under DC stress in LDPE/TiO/sub 2/. After being pre-stressed under stress of 50 kV/mm for 1h, samples with and without nano TiO/sub 2/ were short-circuited, and space charge in these samples was measured. It is shown that decaying rate of the remnant of space charge in LDPE sample containing TiO/sub 2/ increases with increasing of the TiO/sub 2/.
