Breakdown Field Strength

Blending thermoplastic elastomers into polypropylene (PP) can make it have great potential for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable insulation by improving its toughness. However, when a large amount of thermoplastic elastomer is blended, the electrical strength of PP will be decreased consequently, which cannot meet the electrical requirements of HVDC cables. To solve this problem, in this paper, the inherent structure of thermoplastic elastomer SEBS was used to construct acetophenone structural units on its benzene ring through Friedel–Crafts acylation, making it a voltage stabilizer that can enhance the electrical strength of the polymer. The DC electrical insulation properties and mechanical properties of acetylated SEBS (Ac-SEBS)/PP were investigated in this paper. The results showed that by doping 30% Ac-SEBS into PP, the acetophenone structural unit on Ac-SEBS remarkably increased the DC breakdown field strength of SEBS/PP by absorbing high-energy electrons. When the degree of acetylation reached 4.6%, the DC breakdown field strength of Ac-SEBS/ PP increased by 22.4% and was a little higher than that of PP. Ac-SEBS, with high electron affinity, is also able to reduce carrier mobility through electron capture, resulting in lower conductivity currents in SEBS/PP and suppressing space charge accumulation to a certain extent, which enhances the insulation properties. Besides, the highly flexible Ac-SEBS can maintain the toughening effect of SEBS, resulting in a remarkable increase in the tensile strength and elongation at the break of PP. Therefore, Ac-SEBS/PP blends possess excellent insulation properties and mechanical properties simultaneously, which are promising as insulation materials for HVDC cables.

In the present study, silver (Ag) nanoparticles and maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer (MAH-g-POE) were used as enhancement additives to improve the performance of the polyoxymethylene (POM) homopolymer. Specifically, the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites with varying Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE contents were prepared by a melt mixing method. The effects of the additives on the microstructure, thermal stability, crystallization behavior, mechanical properties, and dynamic mechanical thermal properties of the ternary nanocomposites were studied. It was found that the MAH-g-POE played a role in the bridging of the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix and improved the interfacial adhesion between the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix, owing to the good compatibility between Ag/MAH-g-POE and the POM matrix. Moreover, it was found that the combined addition of Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE significantly enhanced the thermal stability, crystallization properties, and mechanical properties of the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. When the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 1 wt.%, the tensile strength reached the maximum value of 54.78 MPa. In addition, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content increased to 15wt.%, the elongation at break reached the maximum value of 64.02%. However, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content further increased to 20 wt.%, the elongation at break decreased again, which could be attributed to the aggregation of excessive Ag nanoparticles forming local defects in the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. Furthermore, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 20 wt.%, the maximum decomposition temperature of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites was 398.22 °C, which was 71.39 °C higher than that of pure POM. However, compared with POM, the storage modulus of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites decreased with the Ag/MAH-g-POE content, because the MAH-g-POE elastomer could reduce the rigidity of POM.

Dielectric energy storage capacitors have advantages such as ultra-high power density, extremely fast charge and discharge speed, long service lifespan and are significant for pulsed power system, smart power grid, and power electronics. Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most widely used dielectric materials for dielectric energy storage capacitors. It is of interest to investigate how to improve its electrical breakdown strength by nanodoping and the influencing mechanism of nanodoping on the electrical breakdown properties of polymer nanocomposites. PP/Al2O3 nanocomposite dielectric materials with various weight fraction of nanoparticles are fabricated by melt-blending and hot-pressing methods. Thermally stimulated current, surface potential decay, and dc electrical breakdown experiments show that deep trap properties and associated molecular chain motion are changed by incorporating nanofillers into polymer matrix, resulting in the variations in conductivity and dc electrical breakdown field of nanocomposite dielectrics. Then, a charge transport and molecular displacement modulated electrical breakdown model is utilized to simulate the dc electrical breakdown behavior. It is found that isolated interfacial regions formed in nanocomposite dielectrics at relatively low loadings reduce the effective carrier mobility and strengthen the interaction between molecular chains, hindering the transport of charges and the displacement of molecular chains with occupied deep traps. Accordingly, the electrical breakdown strength is enhanced at relatively low loadings. Interfacial regions may overlap in nanocomposite dielectrics at relatively high loadings so that the effective carrier mobility decreases and the interaction between molecular chains may be weakened. Consequently, the molecular motion is accelerated by electric force, leading to the decrease in electrical breakdown strength. The experiments and simulations reveals that the influence of nanodoping on dc electrical breakdown properties may origin from the changes in the charge transport and molecular displacement characteristics caused by interfacial regions in nanocomposite dielectrics.

In this paper, we mainly analyzed the different influence of hydrophilic SiO2 particles and hydrophobic SiO2 particles on the properties of PI/Al2O3 films. PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophilic) films and PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophobic) films with 16 wt% content of Al2O3 and 3 wt‰, 5 wt‰, 7 wt‰ content of SiO2 respectively were prepared by in-situ polymerization method. Firstly, the hydrophilic SiO2 particles and hydrophobic SiO2 particles were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the average sizes and infrared characteristic peaks of two kinds of SiO2 particles were similar, and two kinds of SiO2 particles were amorphous inorganic particles. Then the morphology of the composite films was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the mechanical properties, the breakdown field strength and corona resistant time were tested and analyzed. Results indicated that inorganic particles added to PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophilic) films dispersed better than that of PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophobic) films. When the content of SiO2 particles was 5 wt‰, the mechanical properties and corona resistance of PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophilic) films were best, the tensile strength, elongation at break and corona resistance times of the films were: 132.44 MPa, 12.64%, 378 min, respectively. The breakdown field strength of PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophilic) films was only 211.15 kV/mm, and inferior to that of PI/Al2O3/SiO2(hydrophobic) films (232.08 kV/mm).

Abstract This paper investigated the feasibility of developing alternative insulating nanofluid from a mixture of Jatropha and Neem oils into which compositions of 0.2wt% to 1.0wt% of titanium oxide nanoparticles were dispersed. FTIR, SEM-EDX and XRD analysis of Titanium oxide nanoparticles were carried out. The DC and AC breakdown voltages were measured and analysed using Weibull statistical tool. In the Weibull statistical analysis, it was observed that the characteristic breakdown field strength of PJO is higher relative to PNO and has slight differences compared to the PJNO sample. With the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles, the characteristic breakdown strength improved as compared with the base oil. Furthermore, the developed Jatropha-Neem mixture nanofluid recorded characteristic breakdown field strength that is much higher compared to that of the mineral oil sample. The JNNF sample possessed the highest characteristic breakdown strength among prepared nanofluids which indicates that the characteristic breakdown strength of the oil samples has been improved considerably with the dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles. The results have shown the viability of Jatropha-Neem nanofluid as insulating oil for use in oil-filled power equipment.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of nano-bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) on the electrical properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) under magnetic-field treatment at different temperatures. BiFeO3/LDPE nanocomposites with 2% mass fraction were prepared by the melt-blending method, and their electrical properties were studied. The results showed that compared with LDPE alone, nanocomposites increased the crystal concentration of LDPE and the spherulites of LDPE. Filamentous flake aggregates could be observed. The spherulite change was more obvious under high-temperature magnetization. An agglomerate phenomenon appeared in the composite, and the particle distribution was clear. Under high-temperature magnetization, BiFeO3 particles were increased and showed a certain order, but the change for room-temperature magnetization was not obvious. The addition of BiFeO3 increased the crystallinity of LDPE. Although the crystallinity decreased after magnetization, it was higher than that of LDPE. An AC test showed that the breakdown strength of the composite was higher than that of LDPE. The breakdown strength increased after magnetization. The increase of breakdown strength at high temperature was less, but the breakdown field strength of the composite was higher than that of LDPE. Compared with LDPE, the conductive current of the composite was lower. So, adding BiFeO3 could improve the dielectric properties of LDPE. The current of the composite decayed faster with time. The current decayed slowly after magnetization.

Residual hemicellulose could enhance cellulose nanofiber (CNF) processing as it impedes the agglomeration of the nanocellulose fibrils and contributes to complete nanofibrillation within a shorter period of time. Its effect on CNF performance as a reinforcement material is unclear, and hence this study seeks to evaluate the performance of CNF in the presence of amorphous hemicellulose as a reinforcement material in a polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite. Two types of CNF were prepared: SHS-CNF, which contained about 11% hemicellulose, and KOH-CNF, with complete hemicellulose removal. Mechanical properties of the PP/SHS-CNF and PP/KOH-CNF showed an almost similar increment in tensile strength (31% and 32%) and flexural strength (28% and 29%) when 3 wt.% of CNF was incorporated in PP, indicating that hemicellulose in SHS-CNF did not affect the mechanical properties of the PP nanocomposite. The crystallinity of both PP/SHS-CNF and PP/KOH-CNF nanocomposites showed an almost similar value at 55–56%. A slight decrement in thermal stability was seen, whereby the decomposition temperature at 10% weight loss (Td10%) of PP/SHS-CNF was 6 °C lower at 381 °C compared to 387 °C for PP/KOH-CNF, which can be explained by the degradation of thermally unstable hemicellulose. The results from this study showed that the presence of some portion of hemicellulose in CNF did not affect the CNF properties, suggesting that complete hemicellulose removal may not be necessary for the preparation of CNF to be used as a reinforcement material in nanocomposites. This will lead to less harsh pretreatment for CNF preparation and, hence, a more sustainable nanocomposite can be produced.

Polymer composites with high dielectric constant and thermal stability have shown great potential applications in the fields relating to the energy storage. Herein, core-shell structured polyimide@BaTiO3 (PI@BT) nanoparticles were fabricated via in-situ polymerization of poly(amic acid) (PAA) and the following thermal imidization, then utilized as fillers to prepare PI composites. Increased dielectric constant with suppressed dielectric loss, and enhanced energy density as well as heat resistance were simultaneously realized due to the presence of PI shell between BT nanoparticles and PI matrix. The dielectric constant of PI@BT/PI composites with 55 wt% fillers increased to 15.0 at 100 Hz, while the dielectric loss kept at low value of 0.0034, companied by a high energy density of 1.32 J·cm−3, which was 2.09 times higher than the pristine PI. Moreover, the temperature at 10 wt% weight loss reached 619°C, demonstrating the excellent thermostability of PI@BT/PI composites. In addition, PI@BT/PI composites exhibited improved breakdown strength and toughness as compared with the BT/PI composites due to the well dispersion of PI@BT nanofillers and the improved interfacial interactions between nanofillers and polymer matrix. These results provide useful information for the structural design of high-temperature dielectric materials.
