In the present study, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) nanocomposites filled with nano-silicon In the present study, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) nanocomposites filled with nano-silicon particles (Si) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared, their structural, dielectric, and mechanical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the polycrystalline nature of Si nanoparticles and the preservation of the MWCNTs’graphitic (002) structure. Atomic Force M
