We investigated the effect of water and its amount on conductivity of exfoliated graphite nano-platelets (XGnP) under mechanochemical methods. Results showed that, by increasing water content in the system, conductivity of the product increased from 109 to 219 S/cm and the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 14.5 to 10.5. Electrophysical studies of the samples prepared from zinc oxide-XGnP-high density polyethylene showed strong dependency of nonlinearity and breakdown voltage to the XGnP and zinc oxide content in the mixture. Accordingly, by increasing the XGnP content from 1 to 4% at a constant zinc oxide content (80%), the nonlinear coefficient decreased from 10.5 to 4.1.
