This paper reports on an investigation of the effects of calcination on the structure and dielectric properties of polyethylene/silica (SiO2) nanocomposites. Calcination temperatures of 600 and 900 °C have been used in order to modify the surface chemistry and surface structure of the SiO2. The resu...
