Graphene-based polymer composites: What about it for the HV electrotechnical arena?

Abstract

In this study, considerations of recent work and new acquired data by the present authors were used to propose an appreciation of the use of graphene-based polymer composites for electrotechnical applications. In particular, electrical charge behavior of specially prepared Polyethyle-Graphene Oxide (GO) was studied and the results exemplified important traits of GO polymer composites. It turns out that the resulting compound PE-GO falls into the category of nanostructured microcompo sites, is sensitive to moisture contamination, yet was found to exhibit reduction of space charge accumulation as compared to the behavior observed for the neat matrix. One of the major challenges remains to transfer the magnificent graphene proper ties to a polymer matrix. In spite of this, polymers containing very low-content of GO show potential for high-voltage applica tions.

Further study on dielectric properties of solid epoxy composites with Graphene Oxide

“…A recent appreciation presented at EIC 2015 is available [4] from which some details can be recalled here in the following terms. It was found and showed that it is possible to disperse GO into polymer matrices.…”
