      Epoxy nanocomposites, with inorganic oxide nanoparticles as filler, can exhibit novel property combinations, such as enhanced mechanical strength, higher thermal conductivity, increased dielectric breakdown strength, and ...
    • In situ nanocomposites for high voltage insulation 

      Adnan, Mohammed Mostafa (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:36, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Rapid technological developments and the expanding scope of human activity has significantly increased energy demands. This has resulted in increasing requirements for insulation systems with improved dielectric, mechanical, ...
    • In situ synthesis of epoxy nanocomposites with hierarchical surface-modified SiO2 clusters 

      Adnan, Mohammed Mostafa; Tveten, Erlend Grytli; Miranti, Rany; Hvidsten, Sverre; Ese, Marit-Helen Glomm; Glaum, Julia; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Polymer nanocomposites are often produced using in situ approaches where an inorganic filler (as the dispersed phase) is synthesized directly in an organic matrix. Such an approach generally leads to improved dispersion and ...
    • The Structure, Morphology, and Complex Permittivity of Epoxy Nanodielectrics with in Situ Synthesized Surface-Functionalized SiO2 

      Adnan, Mohammed Mostafa; Nylund, Inger-Emma; Jaworski, Aleksander; Hvidsten, Sverre; Ese, Marit-Helen Glomm; Glaum, Julia; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
