Epoxy composite insulating materials are extensively used in high-voltage power transmission
electronic packaging
and various other fields due to the excellent structural stability
electrical insulation properties
and process adaptability. However
interface problems
such as inadequate bonding
excessive thermal resistance
and charge accumulation at the interface
significantly constrain the comprehensive performance of the composites
limiting their reliability under complex and demanding working conditions. This paper systematically discusses the mechanism of interface constraints on the mechanical
thermal and electrical properties of epoxy composite insulation materials
focusing on the key issues such as interface bonding
interface matching
interface heat transfer and interface charge transport. The main interface regulation strategies and research progress in recent years for these issues are reviewed
such as plasma surface modification
micro-nano compounding
and surface functionalization. In addition
this paper further analyzes the similarities and differences between the newly developed recyclable epoxy system and the traditional system regarding interface problems
and discusses the new challenges faced during regulation. Finally
the prospects in the future breakthrough direction of interface problems are put forward
offering insights for developing high-performance and environmentally friendly epoxy composite insulating materials of the next generation.
