Advanced Polymeric Materials for Electrical Insulation and High-Voltage Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Smart and Functional Polymers“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advanced polymeric materials for electrical insulation and high-voltage applications. It aims to present the latest research and developments in polymeric materials that exhibit exceptional electrical insulation properties, thermal stability and mechanical strength, making them suitable for use in high-voltage equipment, insulators, power cables and other electrical insulation systems. This Special Issue covers various aspects of polymeric materials, including their synthesis, processing, characterization and application in electrical insulation. It explores the challenges and opportunities in developing new polymeric materials for high-voltage applications, with a focus on improving the performance, reliability and safety of electrical insulation systems. This Special Issue also highlights the potential of these advanced polymeric materials to revolutionize the electrical insulation industry by providing innovative solutions to existing problems and enabling the development of more efficient and sustainable high-voltage technologies.
