Abstract
The evident influence of the reduction in particle size to nanometric dimensions on many properties of polymeric dielectric
composites emphasises the role of the filler particle-matrix interface. The interfacial environment itself, which is also of
nanometric dimensions, can be dominant in determining the properties of the composite. Employing a cubic close-packed array
of particles with appropriate interfaces to the polymer as a simple representation of a composite many of the features can be
effectively demonstrated and used to model dielectric permittivity, electrical conduction and breakdown in polymeric composites.
