The use of polymers and nanomaterials has vastly grown for industrial and biomedical
sectors during last years. Before any designation or selection of polymers and their …

Cold atmospheric pressure plasma from a plasma jet was used to improve the adhesion
properties of polypropylene (PP). Differences in adhesion were at first observed for either air …

Air filters effectively filtrate external contaminants including pathogenic bioaerosols;
however, they also act as culture sites for the pathogenic bacteria captured in nutrient …

Plasma treatment of polypropylene (PP) is a well‐established method of improving its
surface properties. However, the efficiencies of different plasma discharges are seldom …

Failures due to the degradation of polymeric insulation in components of electrical power
systems are difficult to predict. Partial discharges (PDs) are one of the main phenomena that …

This paper presents modeling data to select the optimal industrial unit for the microwave
modification of an epoxy basalt-filled oligomer (EBO) at electric field strength E of an …

Polyethylene is one of the most used solid state insulators in electrical power industry. It is
particularly used to electrically insulate high-voltage cables. Under the stresses associated …

The characteristics of negative corona discharge in practical applications are strongly
dominated by environmental parameters, such as air pressure. An axisymmetric …

The present work is devoted to the modelling of the deterioration process of polyethylene
exposed to reactive plasma. In particular, we present the comparison between two different …

Dry-type transformers require little maintenance and are more environmentally friendly with
respect to traditional oil-and-paper design. However, partial discharges (PDs) and thermal …
