Hier Efficiency Electricity Distribution Made Possible By New Insulation Material

The new material is based on polyethylene, which is used for insulation in existing HVDC cables. Now, by adding very small amounts – 5 parts per million – of the conjugated polymer known as poly(3-hexylthiophene), the researchers were able to lower the electrical conductivity by up to three times.
