AB  - The melt blending was used to prepare 3 wt% ZnO/low density polyethylene 
      (ZnO/LDPE) nanocomposites in this article. The effect of different inorganic ZnO 
      particles doping on the dielectrical property and crystal habit of LDPE matrix 
      was explored. The nanoparticles size was 9 nm, 30 nm, 100 nm, and 200 nm 
      respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to characterize ZnO 
      nanoparticles whereas differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to make 
      thermal characterization of the samples. Besides, the AC (alternating current), 
      DC (direct current breakdown characteristics and electrical conductivity of the 
      nanocomposites was studied in this article. The experimental results showed that 
      nano-ZnO/LDPE composites had the advantages such as small crystal size, high 
      crystallization rate and crystallinity owing to nano-ZnO particles doping, when 
      doping nano-ZnO particles size was 30 nm, the ZnO/LDPE nanocomposite 
      crystallinity crest value 39.77% appeared. At the mean time, the DC and AC 
      breakdown field strength values of composites were 138.0 kV/mm and 340.4 kV/mm 
      respectively. They were the maximal values which improved 8.24% and 13.85% than 
      LDPE. The AC breakdown field strength of samples decreased with specimen 
      thickness increase. The DC breakdown field strength of LDPE and ZnO/LDPE 
      composites were greater than AC breakdown field strength. From the conductivity 
      experimental result it could be seen that when the experimental temperature and 
      electric field intensity rose, the current density and conductivity of ZnO/LDPE 
      composites increased with the enlargement of ZnO particles size. But the values 
      were less than which of LDPE.
