Abstract

The inorganic nanocomposite of XLPE yields hybrid properties and is widely used in pipe systems for buildings, radiating heating and cooling systems of hydronic boilers, household water pipe fittings, and as an insulating electric cable for high-voltage applications. Nanoparticle-embedded XLPE possesses high mechanical performance exhibiting high tensile strength (30–25 MPa) and Young’s modulus (500–900 MPa), thermal stability, and dielectric characteristics. The fabrication of inorganic nanocomposites of XLPE is achieved by two-main approaches: a top-down and bottom-up comprising several methods extending from a very simple to highly complex processes. The present chapter discusses various methods used for the functionalization of the inorganic nanomaterials and the methods used in the preparation of inorganic XLPE nanocomposites.
