Effect of size and shape of nanofillers on electrostatic and thermal behavior of epoxy-based composites

The role of nanodielectrics in the electrical power system is becoming crucial owing to its superior properties and potential applications field. Yet, materials face limited breakdown strength thermal properties. Further, have not found a comprehensive commercial platform because costly manufacturing process, characterization testing facilities. Therefore, reduce involved cost, this work, an FE (finite element) based computational technique has been implemented visualize effect shape, size, filler concentration under application high voltage (HV). epoxy-based modeled incorporating range different shapes size nanofillers—Al 2 O 3 , BN, BeO, SiO TiO . paper discusses 2D-analysis nanodielectric steady-state electrostatic fields domains. It shows insights nanofillers’ choice ensure perfect blend epoxy with square-shaped BeO fillers showed rise electric field nearly 1.5 times than unfilled neat epoxy, which indicates significant surge conductivity at specific loading.
