As well as advancing the scientific and engineering understanding of electrical degradation and breakdown in polymers, this book forms a comprehensive and international review of the state-of-the-art. Topics include: water and electrical treeing; charge transport; 'classical' and filamentary thermal, electromechanical, electronic and partial discharge breakdown models; the stochastic nature of breakdown and statistical characterisation techniques; and engineering considerations for breakdown testing and degradation assessment. The treatment presumes little prior knowledge but develops into an advanced understanding of new concepts such as the fractal-like nature of trees. Although the book is primarily aimed at scientists and engineers practising in the field, a broad introductory section has been included to cater for a wide audience including those new to the subject area. This comprises a description of the nature of the polymers, basic solid-state physics and an introduction to degradation and breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Institution of Engineering \u0026 Technology","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45409953317015,"sku":"9780863411960","price":21994.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780863411960.webp?v=1767312170","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/electrical-degradation-and-breakdown-in-polymers-9780863411960","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
