As we know, the electrical isolation is achieved by covering
a part of an electrical installation with a material that is not electrically
conductive and which resists the passage of current through the element which
covers and holds it in its path along the driver.
These materials such as ceramics, polymer types, micas,
varnishes, textiles and electrical papers, they are known as electrical
insulators and thanks to nanotechnology could now withstand higher voltages and
have more life.
In Mexico, researchers at the School of Mechanical and
Electrical Engineering, and the National Polytechnic Institute, are working on
the idea of getting electrical papers nano-tech enhanced by introducing the
material nano-particles that alter the electrical characteristics of the paper,
which supports higher voltages and reduces the rate of aging.
Note that in other countries, research has been directed
toward obtaining and Nano-polymers nano-ceramics, but these Mexican
institutions become the first to research and coining the term electrical Nano-paper.
