Abstract
A voltage switchable dielectric material comprising a concentration of multi-component particles that are individually formed by a mechanical or mechanochemical bonding process that bonds a semiconductive or conductive-type host particle with multiple insulative, conductive, or semi-conductive guest particles.
Claims15
A composition comprising:
- a binder;
- particles dispersed uniformly within the binder, wherein at least some of the particles are multi-component particles that singularly comprise:
- a conductive-type host particle and multiple insulative or semi-conductive guest particles;
- wherein said composition is (i) dielectric in absence of a voltage that exceeds a characteristic voltage level, and (ii) conductive with application of said voltage that exceeds the characteristic voltage level.
A voltage switchable dielectric material comprising a concentration of multi-component particles that are individually formed by a mechanical or mechanochemical bonding process that bonds a conductive-type host particle with multiple insulative or semi-conductive guest particles.
A device comprising:
- a layer of voltage switchable dielectric material provided as a protective layer against transient electrical conditions, wherein the voltage switchable dielectric material comprises a concentration of multi-component particles that are individually formed by a mechanical or mechanochemical bonding process that bonds a conductive-type host particle with multiple insulative or semi-conductive guest particles.
