Topic of Research Seminar: Development of Research Purposed Composites aimed at High Voltage Applications

Abstract: High voltage insulation problems are of great concern now a days to solve these problems novel techniques are being employed. By the emergence of chemical engineering polymeric materials have been developed and they have many uses over old materials that are still being employed at industrial level, these polymeric materials are replacing all the conventional material that were being used previously. Historically ceramics, porcelain and glass-based insulators have been used extensively for outdoor insulation applications. These materials exhibits remarkable properties and providing economical services. However due to their bulkiness, complex installation and poor performance in polluted areas arises the need of better material which not only perform better but also show stability towards the external environmental stresses without losing their properties. With the increasing demand of cheaper and environmental friendly electronic device, many organic devices are point of interest for many researchers as they fulfil the gap of conventional ceramics. Polymeric insulators are grabbing attention of many researchers to replace the conventional ceramic insulators. As polymeric insulators possess high flexibility, low weight, ease of molding, porosity, high mechanical strength and good hydrophobicity that enable them to be used in high voltage distribution and transmission applications.
