‘‘water shell’’ model for the dielectric properties of hydrated silica-filled epoxy nano-composites

This article was presented at the 9th International Conference on Solid Dielectrics, Winchester UK. As an opportunity for physicists, chemists, material scientists, ICSD provides an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange and discussion of ideas, research results and practical phenomena related to solid dielectrics exposed to electric fields and other stresses.The article describes a watershell model able to explain the evolution of dielectric properties of epoxy resin in case of water uptake.
