5. Development prospects in electrical engineering

The field of materials for electrical engineering is vast and rich. The challenges lie at several levels, from development to system design, taking into account the specific constraints of each application. We can list the most important ones, in which organic insulators, whether or not combined with inorganic reinforcements, can provide innovative solutions:

• Functional performance :

  • dielectrics with controlled and adjustable electrical conductivity, in which the nature and level of inorganic charges can be used to adjust conductivity;

  • high permittivity dielectrics ;

  • intelligent materials (sensors): ferroelectric fluorinated polymers, with their flexibility of processing, are an interesting avenue for piezoelectric or pyroelectric...
