In present work, Bisphenol A-(epichlorhydrin); epoxy resin with hardener N(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-1,3-propylenediamine were used to determine the dielectric properties. Sample of the neat epoxy resin and nanoparticle loaded epoxy resin in the form of disc were prepared of different weight fraction. SiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles were taken as filler in the epoxy resin. Complex permittivity of the prepared samples was measured in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 2 MHz using precision LCR meter at room temperature. The charismatic change in dielectric behavior based on type and concentration of nanoparticle are discussed in detail.
