In this short review, we discussed some aspects of nanocomposites regarding electrical tree
growth and breakdown. It appears that nanoparticles, properly mixed and dispersed in the …

There is an increasing demand for materials and electronic devices to operate under
conditions of high electrical or mechanical stress, or a combination of both. Applications …

Electrical treeing is one of the main reasons for long term degradation of polymeric materials
used in high voltage AC applications. In this paper we report on an investigation of electrical …

The structure and chemistry of two electrical trees (designated Tree A and Tree B) grown in
low density polyethylene have been studied by a combination of confocal Raman …

High-voltage electric pulse rock-breaking technology has the potential to improve drilling
speed significantly. Numerous mechanism studies and laboratory experiments have laid the …

Dielectric materials are foundational to our modern-day communications, defense, and
commerce needs. Although dielectric breakdown is a primary cause of failure of these …

Over the last few years, an increasing number of publications has shown that living
