Polymer nanocomposites have been attracting attention among researchers as electrical insulating application from energy storage to power delivery. However, partial discharge has always been a predecessor to major faults and problems in this field. In addition, there are a lot more to explore as the characteristic of partial discharge in nanocomposites is not clearly understood as well as the electrical properties of the nanocomposites. By adding a few amount of weight percentage (wt%) of the nano fillers, the physical, mechanical and electrical properties of polymers can be greatly enhanced. This is due to its amazing characteristic of having large specific area as a consequential from its nano sized particle that could enhance the electrical properties of the insulator. For instance, nano fillers in nanocomposites such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and titania (TiO2), play big role in providing good approach to increase dielectric breakdown strength and partial discharge resistance of nanocomposites. Such polymer nanocomposites will be reviewed thoroughly in this paper based on previous experimental works and studies. This paper provides reviews from related publications from year 1997 to 2011 including the results of experimental works which have been conducted by the authors with main focus on partial discharge characteristics in polymer nanocomposites, which demonstrates that research and utilization of polymer nanocomposites has well developed from past decades and will possess a high demand in future as electrical insulating material.

Polymer nanocomposites have recently been attracting attention among researchers in electrical insulating applications from energy storage to power delivery. However, partial discharge has always been a predecessor to major faults and problems in this field. In addition, there is a lot more to explore, as neither the partial discharge characteristic in nanocomposites nor their electrical properties are clearly understood. By adding a small amount of weight percentage (wt%) of nanofillers, the physical, mechanical, and electrical properties of polymers can be greatly enhanced. For instance, nanofillers in nanocomposites such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and titania (TiO2) play a big role in providing a good approach to increasing the dielectric breakdown strength and partial discharge resistance of nanocomposites. Such polymer nanocomposites will be reviewed thoroughly in this paper, with the different experimental and analytical techniques used in previous studies. This paper also provides an academic review about partial discharge in polymer nanocomposites used as electrical insulating material from previous research, covering aspects of preparation, characteristics of the nanocomposite based on experimental works, application in power systems, methods and techniques of experiment and analysis, and future trends.

The synthesis of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs) or hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) by tethering of polymer chains to the surface of nanoparticles is an important technique to obtain nanostructured hybrid materials that have been widely used in the formulation of advanced polymer nanocomposites. Ceramic-based polymer nanocomposites integrate key attributes of polymer and ceramic nanomaterial to improve the dielectric properties such as breakdown strength, energy density and dielectric loss. This review describes the ”grafting from” and ”grafting to” approaches commonly adopted to graft polymer chains on NPs pertaining to nano-dielectrics. The article also covers various surface initiated controlled radical polymerization techniques, along with templated approaches for grafting of polymer chains onto SiO2, TiO2, BaTiO3, and Al2O3 nanomaterials. As a look towards applications, an outlook on high-performance polymer nanocomposite capacitors for the design of high energy density pulsed power thin-film capacitors is also presented.

: This presented review article is constructed to be an extensive source for polymer nanocomposite researchers covering the relation of structure with property, manufacturing techniques, and potential applications when a small number of nanosized particles are added to a host polymer matrix. The exceptional structural, mechanical, and electrical properties of polymer nanocomposites after the addition of inorganic solid nanoparticles are elucidated by the large surface area of doped nanoparticles that interact with host polymer matrices. Due to the generation of ideas, the conventional methods of preparation of polymer nanocomposites are made more interesting. Hence, this brief review presents a sketch of different synthesis techniques, characterization, applications, and safety concerns for polymer nanocomposites.


Polyimide film is widely used in different areas due to its brilliant chemical and electrical properties. This chapter discusses effect of direct fluorination on surface charge and surface partial discharge of polyimide films. The influences of different fluorination time and voltage frequency are studied. The trap properties of polyimide film are analyzed. It is clear that the fluorination has changed the micro structure of the sample so that the trap property and the dissipation time are different. Further research focuses on the effects of water absorption on surface charge and dielectric breakdown of nanocomposite. The polyimide/Al2O3 film is selected as sample and the relation between water absorption and surface charge and breakdown voltage is discussed.

<p>Insulation materials can be tailored by compounding nanofillers and polymer materials. The advantageous changes in properties of polymer nanocomposites can be explained by the large interface area of the nanofillers. Theoretical models developed in the field of nanodielectrics concentrate on the analysis of the interface volume.<br />Dielectric breakdown strength (DBS) is one of the most important properties of an insulation material. The DBS of nanocomposites depends heavily on the nanofiller content and even small quantities can cause improvement. This is linked to the maximum interface volume achieved already at low nanofiller concentrations. Homogeneous nanodispersion is the key for DBS increase and reliable results. Often the most profitable nanofiller quantities are below 5 wt-%. The same kind of behaviour can be seen with different voltage shapes, but with dc voltage the increase is bigger. DBS has a maximum value with respect to nanofiller amount and decreases thereafter. Filler quantities around 5 wt-% and even lower are the most attractive considering DBS of nanocomposites.</p>

High dielectric polymer nanocomposites are promising candidates for energy storage applications. The main criteria of focus are high dielectric breakdown strength, high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss. In this study, we investigate the effect of the addition of TiO2 particles to PVDF matrix on the dielectric constant, breakdown and energy density of the system. The dispersion of the particles is qualified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology of the composites is characterized by polarized light microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dielectric properties are measured by a Novocontrol system with an Alpha analyzer. Finally, the breakdown measurements are carried out by a QuadTech hipot tester.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated by compatibilizer (P3HT-PMMA) imparted sta-ble dispersion in organic solvents and polymer matrix (P(VDF-TrFE)). The compatibility be-tween CNTs with P3HT-PMMA was con rmed by measuring Raman spectroscopy. CoatedCNTs were then blended with P(VDF-TrFE) (70:30 mol%) to obtain polymer nanocompositesby solution- casting process. Polymer nanocomposites showed enhanced electrical characteris-tics, as nanocomposites near the threshold of the transition between P(VDF-TrFE) insulatorand CNT conductor revealed great improvement of electrical conductivity up to 10-6 S/cmat 1 KHz. Electromechanical properties of the polymer nanocomposite were examined as afunction of electric eld.

ABSTRACTNew unique abilities towards solvents' vapor of electrically Conductive Polymer nanoComposites (CPCs) have made it a subject, holding the attention of research groups. The direct conversion from chemical information into an electrical signal can take advantage of existing low power microelectronics and sensing technology such as detection of toxic vapor; environmental monitoring in chemical industry and quality control in food processing, beverage and perfume industry. Conductive Polymer nanoComposite (CPC) is a heterogeneous system consisting of insulated polymer matrices and conductive nanofillers. In this paper we have investigated a new route for CNT grafting via ring opening polymerization of e-caprolactone. The influence of this treatment on chemo-electrical properties of the so-called CPC based sensor was investigated in this work.
