Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites provides the first in-depth discussion of nano-dielectrics, an emerging and fast moving topic in electrical insulation. The book provides an overview of the background, principles and promise of nanodielectrics, as well as a discussion of the processing of nanocomposites. Special considerations are also given to clay based processes, mechanical, thermal and electric properties and surface properties, as well as erosion resistance. Carbon nanotubes are discussed as a means of creation of nonlinear conductivity. Editor J. Keith Nelson brings together the leading minds in the field, whose contributions to the book also:
Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites is perfect for academics and researchers working in or interested in learning more about this growing field.

From the reviews:
“This book is one of the first to address the role of nanocomposites in dielectric insulation. … used as a guide for continuing research on one’s own. The up-to-date references at the end of each chapter allow one to continue researching topics for more details. … This book would be an excellent choice for researchers or academics working in or interested in learning more about nanocomposites and how they apply to electrical insulation, which may someday soon lead to new materials and applications.” (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, Vol. 26 (2), March/April, 2010)
