Abstract

Nanocomposite has a good electrical performance. Material that had been utilized in this research is only the Silicon dioxide, SiO_2. Natural rubber (NR) consumption is due to the nature of interphase impact and viscoelastic matrix form multiple interphase with Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) was mixed with different amounts of SiO2 with Alternating Current and Impulse Test. LLDPE composition and the natural rubber ratio of 80:20 was used as the base polymer. These basic polymers are combined with SiO_2 of 1%, 3%, 5% and 7%. The parameters used are the thickness of the sample. Three thicknesses of sample used were 1.5 mm, 3 mm and 4.5 mm. This research was conducted to study the characteristics of polymer nanocomposite, SiO2. Based on this experiment, the increase in weight percentage nanofiller LLDPE and natural rubber also gives rise to the level of conductivity of the insulation. In addition, the weight percentage nanofiller used also affects the rate of change in conductivity of the insulation, the lower level. Besides, the thicker the sample, the higher the level of conductivity of the insularity.
