The synthesis of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs) or hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) by tethering of polymer chains to the surface of nanoparticles is an important technique to obtain nanostructured hybrid materials that have been widely used in the formulation of advanced polymer nanocomposites. Ceramic-based polymer nanocomposites integrate key attributes of polymer and ceramic nanomaterial to improve the dielectric properties such as breakdown strength, energy density and dielectric loss. This review describes the ”grafting from” and ”grafting to” approaches commonly adopted to graft polymer chains on NPs pertaining to nano-dielectrics. The article also covers various surface initiated controlled radical polymerization techniques, along with templated approaches for grafting of polymer chains onto SiO2, TiO2, BaTiO3, and Al2O3 nanomaterials. As a look towards applications, an outlook on high-performance polymer nanocomposite capacitors for the design of high energy density pulsed power thin-film capacitors is also presented.

Polybutyl acrylate (PBA) grafted alumina nanoparticles were synthesized. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanocomposites reinforced with PBA grafted nanoparticles were prepared by compression molding. The effects of PBA grafted nanoparticles on the tribological behavior of the PTFE nanocomposites were investigated on a tribometer. The abrasion mechanisms of the PTFE nanocomposites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the abraded surfaces. The results show that the addition of PBA grafted nanoparticles maintains low friction coefficient and improves the wear resistance of the PTFE nanocomposites.
