Abstract
A process applies a polymer to at least one individual conductor of a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) composite in the manner of a Roebel conductor. The at least one individual conductor includes a substrate and a superconducting layer. Particles are applied to the individual conductor. Then, a thermal treatment is performed which results in partial or complete melting of the particles and, after cooling, in a polymer layer on the individual conductor.
Claims20
A method for applying a plastic material, comprising:
- providing individual conductors, each having a superconducting layer formed on a support;
- applying a multitude of particles formed of the plastic material to the individual conductors;
- heat treating the particles applied to the individual conductors;
- and
- combining the individual conductors to form a high-temperature superconductor (HTS) cable in the form of a Roebel conductor.

A high-temperature superconductor, comprising:
- individual conductors, each having a superconducting layer formed on a support;
- a plastic material layer formed on the support and/or on the superconducting layer of the individual conductors by a process comprising:
- applying a multitude of particles formed of the plastic material to each of the individual conductors;
- and
- heat treating the particles applied to the individual conductors, wherein
- the individual conductors are interlaced with one another so that a Roebel conductor cable is formed with neighboring individual conductors being electrically contacted at their ends with remaining regions of the neighboring individual conductors being electrically insulated from one another with the plastic material layer, and
- the plastic material layer has an open structure with openings through the plastic material layer.
