The current work investigates the effects of filler calcination on the structure and dielectric properties of polyethylene/zirconia (ZrO2) nanocomposites. Calcination temperatures of 600 and 900 °C have been applied to ZrO2 in an attempt to modify its surface chemistry and structure. Calcination res...
