Montmorillonite (MMT)/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites have excellent partial discharge resistance and electrical tree resistance compared with pure LDPE. However, the MMT/LDPE nanocomposites have low breakdown strength due to the poor compatibility between nano‐MMT and LDPE. In order to improve the breakdown strength of the MMT/LDPE composites without changing the LDPE matrix, an MMT/SiO 2 /LDPE multielement composite was prepared by melt blending, and its breakdown strength and electrical tree resistance properties were investigated. The results show that the MMT/SiO 2 /LDPE multielement composite has excellent breakdown strength and electrical tree resistance properties compared with the MMT/LDPE composite. The reasons for the excellent insulation properties of the MMT/SiO 2 /LDPE multielement composites were analyzed by exploring the effects of MMT and SiO 2 on the microstructure and trap characteristics of LDPE. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
