The dielectric and electrical conducting behavior of low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites filled with Al micro‐ and nanoparticles were investigated. The results show that self‐passivated Al particles restrict the formation of conductive pathways within polymer matrices of LDPE/Al micro‐ and nanocomposites. However, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) additions promote the electrical conductivity of ternary LDPE/Al/MWNT nanocomposites significantly.
