Activities
To meet the objectives of the project, the ANASTASIA project will develop three complementary tape nano-structuration approaches:
- A polymer route based on polymer/inorganic nanoparticle blending including a novel mica paper structure involving dielectric nano-flakes. This is a nanocomposite top-down approach.
- A polymer route based on in situ growth of dielectric nanoparticles. This is a nanocomposite bottom-up approach.
- A sol-gel inorganic based matrix for a quasi inorganic concept.
Each approach will be widely characterised (WP3) and a particular attention will be paid to correlate the electrical behaviour of materials with their specific physico-chemical properties. On this basis, the process of the selected approach will be developed (WP4) And, once validated, the new tape architecture will be implemented on a prototype tape manufacturing equipment to produce a tape length suitable to wrap a stator bar (WP5). This way, both tape production process and tape implementation onto a rotating machine will be validated.
The structure of the ANASTASIA project is shown below:
