Chapter VII high polymeric materials

Some of the problems which must be overcome in developing insulating materials for aircraft high-temperature electrical equipment were reported by Wood¹. An editorial by Mathes² emphasized the drastic need for suitable materials. Dexter³ compared international insulation standards with American design practice. The proper selection of the best insulating materials or combinations of materials to meet the specific requirements of a certain duty or service application was discussed by Sherburne⁴.
