This experimental study reported electrical properties of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/MgO nanocomposites, which were prepared by melt blending methods. The effects of surface modified MgO nanoparticles on the microstructure, space charge distribution, thermally stimulated current and DC breakdown strength of the nanocomposites were investigated. The addition of surface modified nanoparticles increases the amount of spherulites and decreases their sizes. It is found that the LDPE/MgO interface shows significant influence on electrical properties of nanocomposites. The addition of MgO nanoparticles is available to suppress the production of space charges and enhance the DC breakdown strength, depending on the loading levels of nanoparticles. Thermally stimulated currents of nanocomposites reveal strong correlation between the traps and electrical properties of nanocomposites. It is believed that this study would provide important hint to design and develop advanced polymer nanocomposites for dielectric applications, in particular the HVDC applications.
