Study of Nanocomposites for Electrical Insulation
Klampár, Marián ; Mentlík, Václav (referee) ; Váry,, Michal (referee) ; Liedermann, Karel (advisor)
The dissertation thesis submitted deals with the study of dielectric properties of epoxy nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of inorganic oxides. These nanocomposites may have a promising technologic application for electric insulations in view of their higher resistance against partial discharges; yet information about their behavior in the course of ageing is not available. If at least a partial mass replacement of the currently used epoxy insulation with nanocomposite-based insulations is due to occur, the knowledge of the changes of their dielectric properties in the course of their operation will become indispensable. Within the framework of this dissertation, ensembles of samples of epoxy resins without fillers and with Al2O3, WO3, TiO2 and SiO2 fillers in the form of nanopowders, in concentrations up to 12 wt %, have been prepared. These ensembles have been measured prior to ageing and exposed to long-time (up to 5000 hours) ageing at increased temperatures 200, 250 and 300 °C and in a few cases also at 330 and 360 °C. Samples were measured in the course of ageing roughly in a logarithmic time series after 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 hours. The measured quantities included complex permittivity , internal resistivity i and loss factor tan at temperatures ranging from -153 °C to +167 °C and in the frequency range 10-2 – 106 Hz. Changes in nanocomposites have been investigated using not just dielectric spectroscopy measurements, but other methods, too, namely Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experiments have proved that materials with different fillers respond to the same concentrations of various fillers in different ways. The addition of nanoparticles, without the addition of microparticles, at a relatively low concentration (max 12 wt %), was not sufficient for reaching fundamental changes in dielectric spectrum; only smaller changes of dielectric strength and shifts of relaxations and in relaxation maps have occurred. Out of more pronounced changes, increase of concentration of the SiO2 filler in the epoxy matrix brings about a decrease of electrical conductivity in the resulting nanocomposite. The TiO2 filler had a different impact. Different TiO2 concentrations make their marked appearance in the region between the relaxation and relaxation. The TiO2-filled nanocomposites do not exhibit the unambiguous dependence of electrical conductivity on nanofiller concentration. It can be concluded that the mere addition of nanoparticles, without the addition of established microparticles, does not change the dielectric spectrum substantially. Generally, a serious problem was the production of the nanocomposite with a uniform distribution of nanoparticles. The preparation of such a nanocomposite was not trivial and, in industrial applications, this issue will require a specific focus, so as to avoid the formation of undesirable aggregates. Within the framework of this research, a methodology for the production of an epoxy nanocomposite has been developed with as high as possible uniformity of nanoparticle distribution.

Computer modelling of courses of complex permittivity
Frybert, Jan ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (referee) ; Frk, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this work was to create the program for modelling of frequencies courses of complex permittivity parts according to the basic empirical functions, which are described distribution of relaxation time. The main attention is concentrated on the influence of particular parameters on the courses of real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity. Whole program is written in Borland Builder C++.

Influence of curing parameters on the properties of insulating varnishes
Paščinský, Jiří ; Frk, Martin (referee) ; Rozsívalová, Zdenka (advisor)
The bachelor thesis submitted deals with properties of electro-insulating lacquer hardenable by ultraviolent radiation and temperature. Within the theoretical part a summary of electro-insulating lacquers used in electrotechnics has been elaborated. Chemical changes that take place in this material group have been described during hardening process. A method of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy specifically focused on mathematic and physical description of polarisation and conductive mechanisms taking place in the structure of the given material has been closely studied. In the experimental part a workplace for hardening and long-term exposition of lacquered samples during simultaneous effect of various climatic elements has been designed and built. The selected electric and mechanical properties have been monitored on three sets of experimental samples prepared by means of different methodical procedures. The results gained have been mathematically evaluated and physically interpreted in term of methodical procedure of hardening and different temperature of measurement.
