Performance analysis of epoxy nanocomposites under prolonged thermal and electrical stresses is vital for its use in high-voltage applications. In this regard, this work studies the influence of (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxy silane and (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxy silane (APTES) as surface-functiona...
