Abstract

High-voltage equipment imposes increasingly stringent demands on polymeric insulating materials, particularly in terms of dielectric strength, space charge suppression, thermo-electrical stability, and interfacial reliability. Conventional polymers are prone to critical failure modes under high electric fields, including electrical treeing, partial discharge, interfacial degradation, and thermo-oxidative aging. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in polymer modification strategies specifically designed for high-voltage applications, covering nanofiller reinforcement, plasma surface engineering, and the development of self-healing insulating polymers. Multi-scale structural control and…
