Ozonation of Dielectric Fosters Self-Healing Efficiency in Metalized-Film Capacitors: Quantum-Chemical Simulation
Nadezhda A. Andreeva, Cuixia Liu, Vitaly V. Chaban
Metalized-film capacitors (MFCs) employ polymer organic dielectrics like polypropylene (PP) and polyimide (PI), in which self-healing is seen as a key advantage. However, the perfo…
Polyurethane-Inspired CO2 Chemisorbent: Ab Initio Reaction Profiles
Vitaly V. Chaban
Polyurethane (PU) and its numerous fine-tuned derivatives are widely employed as CO2 scavengers thanks to (1) physisorption and (2) functionalization of the PU backbone with other…
Insulator and Electrode Materials Marginally Influence Carbonized Layer Conductivity in Metalized-Film Capacitors
Vitaly V. Chaban, Nadezhda Andreeva
Capacitor self-healing is a generalized term to describe physical and chemical processes restoring the functionalities of a dielectric capacitor after an electrical breakdown. The…
Chemical Compositions of Soot Samples in Gold Electrode Capacitors: Molecular Simulations
Vitaly V. Chaban, Nadezhda A. Andreeva
Electrical breakdown in a dielectric capacitor occurs when the electric field strength across the dielectric material exceeds its breakdown strength. A conductive channel through t…
