Mechanical Properties and Quantitative Analytical Modelling of Micro/Nanocellulose Co‐Modified Insulating Papers With Different Aspect Ratios

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The incorporation of nanocellulose‐doped insulating paper into the material composition of a given structure has been demonstrated to enhance the material’s mechanical properties and retard the development of cracks. However, the effects of different length‐to‐diameter ratios of nanocellulose are different.
