A Study on the Investigation of Surface Tracking in Polyester Insulators

Investigation of the Effects of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles and Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes on Conductivity and Surface Morphology of Polyester-Viscose Fabric

A Study on ZnO Nanorod Arrays Formed on the Surface of Polyester Fabric

A feasibility study on the possible growth of rod-shaped nano size zinc oxide particles on the surface of polyester fabric was investigated. The nanoparticles were produced using a hydrolysis method, with a zinc compound being utilized as the starter material. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDS) and X-ray d...

Investigation of the synergistic effect of titania micro and nanoparticles on the hydrophobic properties of polyurethane composite coating

One of the ways to improve the performance of ceramic insulators in polluted climates is to use polymer coatings reinforced with ceramic particles. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of adding Titania nanoparticles and Titania micro-nanoparticles on hydrophobic properties of PU. In this method, stearic acid, which is a cheap and environmentally friendly material, was used for su...

Room Temperature Cured Hydrophobic Nano-silica Coatings for Outdoor Insulators Installed on Power Lines without Shutting Down the Current

The goal of the present study is to prepare a room temperature cured hydrophobic and self-cleaning nano-coating for power line insulators. As a result, the installed insulators operating in power lines can be coated without being removed from the circuit and without the need to cut off power. For this purpose, hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using TEOS and HM...

Functional polyester fabric through simultaneous aminolysis and nano ZnO synthesis

Here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (TEA) and zinc acetate. The ZnO nano particles (NPs) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °C for 1 h. The synthesis of nano ZnO particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern...
