CONCLUSIONS
The results indicate an -relaxation process which is enhanced by the filler
concentration and shifted to higher frequencies with the increasing
temperature.
The absorbed water molecules in the LDPE-SiO2 nanocomposites influence

the relaxation frequency.
The charges at the nanofiller-polymer interface are thought to be the main

responsible for this behaviour.
The thermal stability of the polyethylene is improved by the nanosilica filler.
