Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, the distribution of the electric field of medium voltage (MV) underground cable insulation made of polyethylene/copper nanoparticles (XLPE/Cu) is investigated. Three methods were established for copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesis such as the alkaline reduction process, electrolysis process and metal displacement reaction. Ultraviolet–visible spectra, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to classify the obtained CuNPs. The XLPE/Cu films with different CuNP weight content (0%, 1%, 3% and 5%) were subjected to a 3 MeV electron beam (EB) with different doses (0, 15, 20 and 25 kGy). The optimum AC/DC conductivity (AC 2 × 10−3 S m−1, DC 4.63 × 10−2 S m−1) in minimum relative permittivity (2.05) achieved for (XLPE/5-Cu) 25 kGy that is has a CuNP content of 5 wt-% and irradiated at 25 kGy. The electric field distribution in the middle of the (XLPE/5-Cu) 25 kGy sample is maximum uniform than at the top or bottom.
期刊介绍:
Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.
