Abstract

To develop the better insulants. the zeolite particle, which is aluminosilicate mineral, was filled In the DGEBA/MDA/SN epoxy resin system. Dynamic DSC curves of cured specimens with various contents of zeolite were observed and the glass transition temperature(T$_{g}$) was obtained. According to this result, we could carry out the experiment concerned with the dielectric breakdown strength around T$_{g}$ and find the limit temperature for the application of the DDEBA/MDA/SN system filled with natural zeolite. T$_{g}$ increased with the content of zeolite. As the temperature increased, the dielectric breakdown strength decreased rapidly, in the region of T$_{g}$. At the high temperature, the deterioration by electrical stress was activated. The diameter of puncture at the high temperature was larger 7han that at the room temperature.erature.
