Nano-sized BaSrTiO 3 particles and a dispersant were incorporated in samples of low density polyethylene (LDPE). The nanoparticle loading was 2% or 10% by weight, and the dispersant loading was 4 parts per hundred relative to BaSrTiO 3 . dc conductivity measurements were made in the temperature rang...
