Enhancement of the Insulation Properties of Poly(2-oxazoline)-co-Polyester Networks by the Addition of Nanofillers.

Copoly(2-nonyl-2-oxazoline)-stat-poly(2-dec-9'enyl-2-oxazoline)s can be crosslinked by the thiol-ene reaction with glycol dimercaptoacetate. The copoly(2-oxazoline)-stat-copolyester is tested as dielectric for high-voltage applications, either as unfilled resin or as composite with nanoscaled fillers of silica, alumina, and hexagonal boron nitride. During AC voltage tests, all materials have an average breakdown strength of 45-50 kV mm .
