Abstract

While specialty applications of nanotechnology in the photonics and electronics areas have seen a tremendous growth in the past several years, the use of nanodielectrics in the electrical industry (high power density and high voltage) has not shown the same level of activity. In addition to a review of nanodielectrics, we discuss in this paper, our perspective on the current status, development needs and future potential to build or engineer nanostructured materials for dielectric applications in the electrical power industry. Short and long-term future research and development needs are considered from the point of view of industrial applications.
