SURFACE-MODIFIED ELECTRICAL INSULATION SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED TRACKING AND EROSION RESISTANCE Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H01B3/40 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: surface modified electrical insulation system, comprising a cured synthetic polymer composition including at least one filler and optional additives, wherein the surface of said synthetic polymer composition is modified by applying a thin coating; said thin coating being applied via plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) with thickness within the range of about 50 nm to about 50 mcm; and/or said thin coating is applied via a sol-gel technique with thickness within the range of about 0.5 mcm to about 2 mm; and wherein said thin coat is an electrically non-conducting polymeric material with melting point which is considerably higher than the melting point or degradation temperature of the synthetic filler containing polymer composition; and a method of making said electrical system involving formation of a hardened or cured synthetic polymer composition, applying a thin coating on the surface of said synthetic polymer composition via plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition.

EFFECT: improved system.
