Self-Healing Solid Insulating Materials for High-Voltage Applications: Mechanisms, Performance, and Future Directions
Abstract
Self-healing materials feature a self-directed process to heal micro-damage, ensuring the recovery of mechanical strength and dielectric properties in the absence of external intervention. Self-healing insulation materials are an exciting development for enhancing the longevity of high-voltage (HV) electrical devices in stringent operating environments. This review provides a systematic approach to studying different self-healing strategies for HV insulation systems. This includes both extrinsic [...]
