| Abstract: |
We propose to develop a multi-functional coating technology using a three-component nanocomposites to achieve excellent syperhydrophobicity, anti-icing, enhanced track-resistance, and high dielectric breakdown strenght. The coating will be compatible with current Navy existing VLF device materials and be ease of applications in outdoor field, and be long lasting requiring infrequent applications. |
| Benefits: |
The advanced superhydrophobic coating will significantly improve the lifetime of the Navy VLF/LF systems by minimizing the ageing of the high voltage electrical insulation materials under servious weather conditions, therefore, reducing the maintainence cost and improve the reliability of the mission-critical communiction systems. The proprietary coatings can also be used in various high voltage transmission and distribution systems in the national grid. |
