Dielectric Breakdown Elimination Via Particulate Additives
Source abstract
Abstract
In many materials, strong electrical fields can cause highly conductive pathways to occur due to dielectric breakdown, which can cause the material to “jump” to a higher permittivity state. This effect is often undesirable and can lead to electrically-induced failure of a device, for example due to overheating. The overall goal of this work is to estimate the volume fraction and properties of the particulate additives needed to reduce the electrical load carried by a bulk material, in order to avoid dielectric breakdown.
