Popis: A huge effort has been done over the past 20 years to research the possible electrical benefits of such newly developing materials, polymer composite, and a significant amount of data have been published. Recent research suggests that polymer materials are capable for insulating system particularly unfilled XLPE and epoxy resins or filled with many types of fillers. The principal applications for polymer composites by XLPE and epoxy resins include cables, motors, and generators, but further study is needed to enhance their capabilities. This research will mainly introduce the application of polymer materials in the fields of power Industry, medicine and fuel cells. Some typical polymers, including polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), collagen, polypyrrole, polyacetylene and polythiophene, will be introduced in detail. We expect that the advantages and disadvantages of polymer functional materials in these application fields can provide a new idea for the development of new functional polymer materials in the future.
