The radiation effects on electrical and mechanical properties of LDPE/EVA blends with various vinyl acetate contents were investigated. Radiation degradation of LDPE/EVA blends were studied by using gelation, volume resistivity, permittivity, dissipation factor, elongation at break, and E-modulus. As vinyl acetate contents increased in LDPE/EVA blends, electrical insulation characteristics were deteriorated, but flexibility was improved. As irradiation doses increased, electrical insulation characteristics were improved, but flexibility was deteriorated.

This paper reported a study on the thermal, mechanical and electrical insulation properties of epoxy/mica composites. To investigate the effect of mica content, glass transition temperature, mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural strength, and insulation breakdown properties for epoxy composites with various contents of mica. The effect of insulation thickness on insulation breakdown property was also studied. It was observed that tensile and flexural strength decreased with increasing mica content, while elastic modulus increased as the mica content increased. AC insulation breakdown strength for all epoxy/mica composites was higher than that of neat epoxy and that of the system with 20 wt% mica was 14.4% improved. As was expected, insulation breakdown strength at $30^{\circ}C$ was far higher than that at $130^{\circ}C$, and it was also found that insulation breakdown strength was inversely proportion to insulation thickness.

In order to develop electrical insulation materials, epoxy-nanosilica-microsilica mixture composites (ENMC) was synthesized, and mechanical properties such as their tensile and flexural strength, and AC insulation breakdown strength were investigated. Properties of mechanical strength and AC insulation breakdown strength are analyzed as scale and shape parameter with respect to weibull plot. Their tensile and flexural strength, AC insulation breakdown strength were compared original epoxy or EMC to ENMC. The 4 phr nano-silica addition and the 65 wt% micron-silica mixture composite (ENMC) was found to have the highest tensile and flexural strength. In the tensile strength was improved 29%, and flexural strength was improved 60.9% higher than those of the original epoxy. In the insulation breakdown strength, ENMC_4 phr was improved 17% and ENMC_5 phr was improved 15.8% higher than those of the EMC.

This study researched the effect of graphene nanoribbons (0.05 wt%) on cement-based materials' mechanical and electrical properties. The results were compared with the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste and OPC paste with the same content of carbon nanotubes. The experiment results showed that after curing for 28 days, the compressive and splitting tensile strength of the sample with graphene nanoribbons were increased by 17.8% and 6.6% compared to OPC paste, and its reinforced effect for cement-based materials was superior to carbon nanotubes. Besides, due to the excellent electrical properties of graphene nanoribbons, the sample reinforced by graphene nanoribbons had a lower electrical resistivity (135.5 Ω·m) than OPC paste (418.5 Ω·m) and paste with carbon nanotubes (175.5 Ω·m). This proved the promising application of graphene nanoribbons on cement-based materials.

The present paper develops piezo-thermo-elastic analysis of a thick spherical shell for generalized functionally graded piezoelectric material. The assumed structure is loaded under thermal, electrical and mechanical loads. The mechanical, thermal and electrical properties are graded along the radial direction based on a power function with three different non homogenous indexes. Primarily, the non homogenous heat transfer equation is solved by applying the general boundary conditions, individually. Substitution of stress, strain, electrical displacement and material properties in equilibrium and Maxwell equations present two non homogenous differential equation of order two. The main objective of the present study is to improve the relations between mechanical and electrical loads in hollow spherical shells especially for functionally graded piezoelectric materials. The obtained results can evaluate the effect of every non homogenous parameter on the mechanical and electrical components.

Carbon/polymer based composite electrodes were fabricated by using Super p. Black(SPB) as a conductor and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a binder. This type of composite electrode are considered as excellent candidates for heating film and variable resistor applications. Aim of this work is the study of the Mechanical and Electrical properties on composite electrode by the contents of SPB and MWCNT, respectively. The composite electrode having 10~15 wt% of SPB show good electrical and mechanical properties. Mechanical and electrical properties are increased by the addition of MWCNT into the composite electrode.

Reported here are results of the mechanical and electrical properties of both of intact and thermally degraded epoxy-coated copper busducts that are made by fluidized bed process. To elucidate and compare the properties mentioned above, electrical breakdown by thermal and water aging, v-t characteristic, bending test, impact test and cross cut test are carried out. Although the performance of electrical and mechanical properties are gradually decreased in increasing the severe conditions such as temperature, aging time, and so forth, sample C has a better performance in both mechanical and electrical properties.

Epoxy resin is a polar thermosetting polymer that is widely employed in different branches of industry and everyday life, due to their stable physical and chemical properties. Of all the polymer materials currently being used in the electrical insulation industry, epoxy resin is the most widely used kind, chosen as the base polymer material in the present study. Composites were prepared according to the mixing ratio (MS: MA, 1: 9, 3: 7, 5: 5, 7: 3, 9: 1)of mixture for Heterogeneous Minerals(Micro Silica:MS, Micro Alumina:MA) (MS+MA). We have investigated for AC electrical insulation breakdown characteristics and the dielectric properties (permittivity, dielectric loss, and conductivity) with frequency changes. The electrical AC insulation breakdown performance was improved with the increase of the mixing ratio of MS according to heterogeneous mineral material mixture(MS+MA). As Dielectric properties, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss increased with decreasing frequency and decreased with increasing MS content ratio of heterogeneous mineral mixture. Tensile strength and flexural strength according to the mixing ratio (MS + MA) of epoxy / heterogeneous mineral mixture were studied by mechanical properties. The performance of mechanical tensile and flexural strength was significantly improved as the fill contents ratio of MS increased.

In this study, 40, 50, 60, and 70 wt% filler dispersed samples were prepared for the current GIS Spacer or environmentally friendly GIS. In the AC electrical breakdown, EMSC and EMAC decreased with increasing filler content, and EMSC showed better breakdown strength than EMAC. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength and flexural strength of EMSC and EMAC were also increased with increasing filler content. In addition, EMSC results in better mechanical properties than EMAC. The reason for this is considered to be one in which the influence of the interface is important.

Electrical conductivity of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy foams of various density produced in powder metallurgical method has been measured using two probe electrical conductivity measurement method. Compressive mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress of foams were evaluated from electrical conductivity using power law relation and scaling laws of foam properties. Uni-axial compression test was also performed. Experimentally measured elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress were compared with the values evaluated from electrical conductivity. The computed values were in good agreement with the experimental result.
