For use as recyclable power cable insulations without dielectric oil, technology trends of IPP based thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer(TPO) nanocomposites were reviewed. In 2010 research results of IPP nanocomposite dielectrics for power capacitors showed promising high voltage properties except dielectric loss. Research of IPP based TPO nanocomposites for automotive exterior parts revealed considerable improvements of mechanical properties including impact strength, especially minimization of compatibilizer content, the origin of dielectric loss. A study on electrical properties of IPP based TPO nanocomposites containing a few weight percent of nanofillers for power cable insulations is suggested.

In order to apply thermoplastic composites using PETG resin to various industrial fields such as bicycle frames and industrial parts, it is necessary to verify the impact resistance, durability, mechanical properties and 3D analysis of the manufactured composite materials. To improve the mechanical properties, durability and impact resistance of PETG resin, an amorphous resin, in this study, compound and injection molding process were carried out enhanced various weight percent POE(polyolefin elastomer). The thermal and mechanical properties of the thermoplastic composites, and the charpy impact strength, The analysis was performed to evaluate the characteristics according to weight percent of POE. Charpy impact strength test was conducted to analyze the impact characteristics, and the fracture section was analyzed after the impact strength test. In the case of POE material-added thermoplastic composites, thermal and mechanical properties tend to decrease, but workability and impact resistance tend to be superior to those of PETG materials.
