The properties of polymeric materials have been enhanced by developing nanocomposites in several projects at the Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT. The improvement of conductivity, dielectric, mechanical properties and the thermal stability of polymer materials opens new application potential in electronic industry. In this paper the results of several projects are presented. By applying nano-POSS particles in epoxy the break down voltage was increase by over 20%. The thermal stability of electret materials were improved by adding nano-POSS particles to PP and COC. The use of carbon nanotubes in polyaniline enhanced the conductivity by two decades compared to the commercially available polymers. Isotropic LCP with excellent thermal and chemical properties required in electronic packaging was developed by stabilising the polymer by nanoflakes of magnesium silicate.
