Electrical insulators resistivity

The moisture content of a plastic affects such conditions as electrical insulation resistance, dielectric losses, mechanical properties, dimensions, and appearances. The effect on the properties due to moisture content depends largely on the type of exposure (by immersion in water or by exposure to high humidity), the shape of the product, and the inherent behavior properties of the plastic material. The ultimate proof for tolerance of moisture in a product has to be a product test under extreme conditions of usage in which critical dimensions and needed properties are verified. Plastics with very low water-moisture absorption rates tend to have better dimensional stability.

Elemental boron is a light element with a density of 2.34 g/cm It has a high melting point (2080°C), is hard, brittle and is an electrical insulator (resistivity 1.8 x 10 pQcm at 20°C) [10]. The element is barely reactive at room temperature, however it reacts with almost every element at elevated temperature. Thus, the preparation of pure boron presents a challenge, since impurities are incorporated readily into the boron lattice [221]. Boron has been prepared by chemical vapor deposition as early as 1911, when Weintraub deposited elemental boron from a mixture of BCI3 and Hi onto a heated wire [222]. Today, the CVD of boron is used to prepare coatings (e.g., for the first wall in fusion reactors) as well as fibers. Boron can be prepared by the hydrogen... 

Polymers are used in many applications especially for their ease of moulding in combination with a high electrical insulation resistance. There are also applications where a too high electrical resistance hampers the discharge of electrostatic charges which can build-up. It is often necessary then to decrease the polymer s original resistivity to lower values for safety reasons. Addition of conducting particles, for example carbon black, is one of the possibilities to decrease the resistivity of a polymer to an acceptable value. This acceptable value is set by rather simple rules ... 

Wood flour, a fine sawdust preferably from soft woods, is the most commonly used filler. Good adhesion occurs between the resin and the wood flour, and some chemical bonding may also occur. Wood flour reduces exotherm and shrinkage, improves the impact strength of the moldings, and is cheap. For better impact strength cotton fabric or chopped fabric may be incorporated. Asbestos may be used for improved heat and chemical resistance, and iron-free mica powder maybe used for superior electrical insulation resistance characteristics. 

The success of silicones adhesives is further due to a range of properties derived from the primary chemical structure. These include hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance, chemical resistance, electrical insulation, resistance to weathering, stability to extremes of temperature, resistance to thermal shocks, high elasticity, good tear strengths, capability to seal or bond materials of various natures, good electrical resistance, and so on. 

Ferro has introduced new calcium-zinc stabilisers, Therm-Chek RC 376P and Therm-Chek RC 377P, to replace tribasic lead sulfate in general purpose wire and cable jacketing applications. The company claims that its new additives outperform lead alternatives and that they can be used at lower dose levels. Electrical insulation resistance is also said to be better than with tribasic lead sulphate.
