Abstract

In an effort to develop new electrical insulation materials, four different kinds of organically modified layered silicate were incorporated into an epoxy matrix to prepare nanocomposites for electrical insulation. Five wt% of organically modified layered silicates were processed in a planetary centrifugal mixer in an epoxy matrix, and the thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of the cured epoxy/layered silicate were investigated. The morphology of the nanoscale silicate dispersed in the epoxy matrix was observed using transmission electron microscopy, and the interlayer distance was measured by wide-angle X-ray scattering diffraction analysis.
