Characterization of glow plasma treatment on silica nanofillers under different treatment durations

Silica nanofiller or nanosilica is known to be one of the most widely used fillers in polymer nanocomposite. Nevertheless, agglomeration of nanosilica within polymer matrix has been discovered to be a limitation towards enhancing the insulating properties. With this regard, plasma discharge is found...
