Low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/ZnO composites were prepared using melt mixing process. ZnO powder with size of 44 nm was used as reinforcing particle. The electron beam irradiation effects on the dielectric behaviour of a polymer nanocomposite dielectric made of low density polyethylene filled with nanoparticles of ZnO were studied. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss values were determined by dielectric spectroscopy over a frequency range of 100 KHz–5 MHz on plane samples of the tested nanodielectrics. The influence of filler concentration, between 2 and 8 wt.%, and the irradiation effects on the dielectric properties are also discussed in the paper
