Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to submit your research papers, communications, or review articles to the Special Issue entitled “Polymer Composites for Electrical and Electronic Engineering Applications.”

Polymer composite materials have attracted great interest for the development of electrical and electronic engineering and technology and have been widely applied in electrical power systems, electrical insulation equipment, electrical and electronic devices, etc. Due to the significant expansion in the use of newly developed polymer composite materials, it is necessary to understand and accurately describe the relationship between composite structure and material properties. It is possible to estimate the properties for their future commercial applications solely via thorough laboratory characterization.

This Special Issue focuses on polymer composites applied in the field of electrical and electronic equipment, including (but not limited to) the synthesis and preparation of new polymeric materials, the structure–property relationship of polymer composites, the evaluation of material application, simulation, and modeling of material performance.

We look forward to receiving your outstanding work for this Special Issue.

Dr. Shaojian He
Guest Editor

Composite insulators have been widely used in power grids due to their excellent electrical-external-insulation performance. Long-term operation at high voltage levels accelerates the aging of composite insulators; however, there is a scarcity of research on aged composite insulators operating at 500 kV for over ten years. In this paper, the mechanical, electrical, and microscopic properties were tested on different sheds along a 500 kV composite insulator that had been running for 18 years. Additionally, the results were compared with a new insulator and the standards for live insulator operation. The results showed that the aging of the high-voltage end of composite insulators was the most serious. The results of the physical properties test indicated that the insulator’s hardness was compliant but its tensile strength and break elongation did not meet standards. Under wet conditions, the pollution flashover voltage decreases by about 50% compared to the new insulator. Combined with the microscopic test results, the shed skeleton structure could be damaged and the filler might be lost during the aging process of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The hardness of the insulator would increase by the precipitation of inorganic silicon; however, inorganic silicon might destroy the hydrophobicity and other properties of insulator sheds. These results can provide theoretical references for insulator life prediction and operation protection. Full article
