 ELECO 2023 Invited Talks |
Huseyin R. HIZIROGLU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Kettering University, Flint, Michigan, USA E-mail: hhizirog@kettering.edu Abstract – The breakdown behavior of polypropylene and its composites with natural nanometric clay will be presented along with the current-density vs electric-field intensity characteristics. Also, in this presentation, the influence of nanometric clay will be discussed to evaluate the performance of this nanocomposite. |
