Abstract in different language: | At present, the most commonly used electrical insulating materials, including cold-curing epoxy resins, are well designed for normal operating conditions. However, new generations of materials should also be capable of withstanding extreme emergency conditions, e.g., in case of fire. For this reason, this study presents the possibilities of an improved cold-curing epoxy resin using halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to increase its operational safety. The positive effect of HNT addition is indicated mainly in terms of the suppression of thermo-oxidation processes, which has been demonstrated by the decreases in the maximum heat flow peaks as well as the specific enthalpy values during the thermal decomposition of the epoxy resin. The observed dielectric parameters of the HNT-added materials differ only slightly from those without a filler, whereas their mechanical properties strongly depend on the amount of dispersed HNTs. |
