About this book

Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites provides the first in-depth discussion of nano-dielectrics, an emerging and fast moving topic in electrical insulation. The text begins with an overview of the background, principles and promise of nanodielectrics, followed by a discussion of the processing of nanocomposites and then proceeds with special considerations of clay based processes, mechanical, thermal and electric properties and surface properties as well as erosion resistance. Carbon nanotubes are discussed as a means of creation of non linear conductivity, the text concludes with a industrial applications perspective.

Reviews

From the reviews: “This book is one of the first to address the role of nanocomposites in dielectric insulation. … used as a guide for continuing research on one’s own. The up-to-date references at the end of each chapter allow one to continue researching topics for more details. … This book would be an excellent choice for researchers or academics working in or interested in learning more about nanocomposites and how they apply to electrical insulation, which may someday soon lead to new materials and applications.” (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 26 (2), March/April, 2010)
