Overview on how to achieve polymer dielectrics at high temperatures, with emphasis on diverse applications in various electrical insulation fields

High Temperature Polymer Dielectrics: Fundamentals and Applications in Power Equipment systematically describes the latest research progress surrounding high-temperature polymer dielectric (HTPD) materials and their applications in electrical insulation fields such as high-temperature energy storage capacitors, motors, packaging, printed circuit board, new energy power equipment, and aerospace electrical equipment. The comprehensive text provides a description of the market demand and theoretical research value of HTPDs in electrical equipment and enables readers to improve the performance and design of existing HTPD materials, and to develop efficient new high temperature polymer dielectric materials in general.

Specific sample topics covered in High Temperature Polymer Dielectrics include:

• Thermal and electrical properties of high-temperature polymers, and the excellent thermal stability, mechanical properties, and long service life of polymer dielectrics
• Why fluorinated polymers are more thermally stable than their corresponding hydrogen-substituted polymers
• Static Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA), a technique for measuring the functional relationship between the deformation of the materials and the temperature and time under different actions
• Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a semi-crystalline polymer material with ether bonds and ketone carbonyl groups in molecular chains

Providing a complete overview of the state-of-the-art high temperature polymer dielectrics, with a focus on fundamental background and recent advances, High Temperature Polymer Dielectrics is an essential resource for materials scientists, electrical engineers, polymer chemists, physicists, and professionals working in the chemical industry as a whole.
