We present an experimental and theoretical exploration of well‐dispersed, distinctively stable, fumed SiO₂ crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) nanocomposites. The mechanical properties of fumed SiO₂ /XLPE nanocomposites were assessed with different concentrations of fumed SiO₂, which had noticed that network morphology was immensely influential for the performance of mechanical properties. A reasonable exploration of micromechanical models of composites indicated that the theories of Nicolais–Narkis, and Pukanszky provided an excellent fit to yield strength data of the composites considering the effect of the interphase between XLPE and SiO₂. Furthermore, it highlights that the experimental data can be superimposed with the static micromechanical models of Nicolais–Narkis, and Pukanszky. Owing to the proper dispersion of the SiO₂ nanospheres in the XLPE matrix, the filler‐polymer interactions are …
