Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a nanocomposite polymer dielectric that may incorporate two types of nanoparticles and a polymer. One of the two types of nanoparticle may be a first, smaller nanoparticle, that may occupy spaces between larger second nanoparticles.

Such a two-nanoparticle nanocomposite dielectric material may provide increased dielectric breakdown strength and voltage endurance in comparison with a nanoparticle dielectric which only contains a single type of “high-?” nanoparticle.
