The Use of Nano Fillers in Silicone Rubber Composites for High Voltage Insulators

Ramirez I., Instituto de Investigaciones Eléctricas, MX

Since some years ago, polymer compositions have been used for outdoor electrical insulation applications as an alternative to inorganic materials such as porcelain and glass. The organic compositions are based on silicone rubber (SiR) and [...]

Synthesis of a CNT Nano-Coating on Carbon Fibers: its Role on Strength, Toughness & Damage Tolerance of Polymer Matrix Composites

Prabhu-Gaunkar G., Indian Institute of Technology - Bombay, IN

Carbon in its form as nanotubes is an excellent candidate material for applications as reinforcement in advanced composites. The outstanding mechanical, electrical and thermal properties properties of these nano constituents can be transferred to macro-level [...]
