The Structure, Morphology, and Complex Permittivity of Epoxy Nanodielectrics with In Situ Synthesized Surface-Functionalized SiO.

Epoxy nanocomposites have demonstrated promising properties for high-voltage insulation applications. An in situ approach to the synthesis of epoxy-SiO nanocomposites was employed, where surface-functionalized SiO (up to 5 wt.%) is synthesized directly in the epoxy.
