  2. Nylon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon

    When dry, polyamide is a good electrical insulator. However, polyamide is hygroscopic. The absorption of water will change some of the material's properties such as its electrical resistance. Nylon is less absorbent than wool or cotton. The characteristic features of nylon 66 include: Pleats and creases can be heat-set at higher temperatures

  3. Insulator (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electricity)

    The ridges are used to add surface area, which improves the electrical resistance of the insulator. Three-core copper wire power cable, each core with an individual colour-coded insulating sheath, all contained within an outer protective sheath. An electrical insulator is a material in which electric current does not flow freely. The atoms of ...

  4. Conductive polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_polymer

    Undoped conjugated polymers are semiconductors or insulators. In such compounds, the energy gap can be > 2 eV, which is too great for thermally activated conduction. Therefore, undoped conjugated polymers, such as polythiophenes, polyacetylenes only have a low electrical conductivity of around 10 −10 to 10 −8 S/cm. Even at a very low level ...

  5. Materials for use in vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_for_use_in_vacuum

    Vespel polyimide is very expensive, but machines well, has good electrical insulator properties and is compatible with ultra-high vacuum. PVC, despite its high outgassing rate, can be used in limited applications for rough vacuum lines. Nylon is self-lubricating but has high outgassing rate and high affinity to water.

  6. Dielectric strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_strength

    The field strength at which break down occurs depends on the respective geometries of the dielectric (insulator) and the electrodes with which the electric field is applied, as well as the rate of increase of the applied electric field. Because dielectric materials usually contain minute defects, the practical dielectric strength will be a ...

  7. Noryl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noryl

    The NORYL family of modified resins consists of amorphous blends of polyphenylene oxides (PPO) or polyphenylene ether (PPE) resins with polystyrene.They combine the inherent benefits of PPE resin (affordable high heat resistance, good electrical insulation properties, excellent hydrolytic stability and the ability to use non-halogen fire retardant packages), with excellent dimensional ...

  8. Separator (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(electricity)

    Ni/MH, like the lithium-ion battery, provides high energy and power density with long cycle lives. This technology's greatest problem is its inherent high corrosion rate in aqueous solutions. The most commonly used separators are porous insulator films of polyolefin, nylon or cellophane. Acrylic compounds can be radiation-grafted onto these ...

  9. Electrostatic discharge materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge...

    Insulative materials prevent or limit the flow of electrons across their surface or through their volume. Insulative materials have a high electrical resistance and are difficult to ground, thus are not ESD materials. Static charges remain in place on these materials for a very long time.
