Abstract

Nanoparticles distribution techniques inside electrical insulation materials is an essential technology for improving electric and dielectric behavior and maintaining the reliability of industrial applications. In this paper, it has been investigated on dielectric strength of polyvinyl chloride nanocomposites materials based on distribution of individual and multiple nanoparticles techniques under uniform and non-uniform electric fields. It has been succeeded to enhance and control the dielectric strength based on the arrangement of multiple nanoparticles inside polyvinyl chloride materials under uniform and nonuniform applied electric fields. Moreover, optimal types and concentrations of individual and multiple nanoparticles have been specified for dielectric strength degradation under variant thermal conditions (20–80 °C). Trends of using individual and multiple nanoparticles have been depicted the industrial features against traditional industrial materials.
