Nano-SiOx was homogeneously dispersed in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and its dispersion status was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Samples of LDPE and a composite containing 3 wt % nano-SiOx were polarized at a dc stress of 2×106 V/m and then depolarized three times. The depolarization currents of both samples were converted to the frequency domain to analyze dielectric loss (ε''). LDPE shows a typical slow polarization spectrum shifting upwards with electrical stressing time in the range of 1×10-3–1×10-1 Hz. The ε'' of the composite showed no peak in the range and it was considerably smaller than that of LDPE. Moreover, the ε'' of the composite did not vary significantly with electrical stressing time.
