Abstract: A mica-based insulation based on impregnating resin for rotating electrical machines is provided. The mica-based impregnating resin includes an epoxy resin/anhydride mixture and a nanoparticulate filler, wherein the nanoparticulate filler is a nanoparticulate silicon dioxide and/or aluminum oxide modified by a silanizing reagent. Further, a method of producing the mica-based impregnating resin is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat transfer medium including a mixture containing elemental sulphur and at least one additive and a use of the heat transfer medium. A heat transfer medium including a mixture containing elemental sulphur and at least one additive is indicated. The heat transfer medium is characterized in that the additive includes at least one halogenated hydrocarbon. The halogenated hydrocarbon is, in particular, a chlorinated and/or brominated paraffin. The heat transfer medium is used for reversible energy storage. The heat transfer medium is preferably used for operating a solar thermal power station for converting solar energy into electric energy. Sunlight is converted into heat energy of the heat transfer medium.

Abstract: A composite is formed from at least one base material and at least one filler powder mixture dispersed in the base material. The filler powder mixture has a filler powder fraction and at least one further filler powder fraction. The filler powder fraction has an average powder particle diameter (D50) selected from the range from 1 ?m to 100 ?m and the total proportion of the filler powder mixture in the composite (degree of fill) is above 50% by weight. The further filler powder fraction has a further average powder particle diameter selected from the range from 1 nm to 50 nm and the proportion of the further filler powder fraction in the filler powder mixture is selected from the range from 0.1% by weight to 50% by weight. A high degree of fill can be achieved at a low viscosity in the presence of nanosize filler particles. The composite is particularly suitable as embedding composition (pourable resin system).

Abstract: An electrical insulation paper that is made of mica flakelets (22), having an average size range of 0.01 to 0.05 mm in their thinnest dimension, hexagonal boron nitride (26), which has an average size range of 10 to 1,000 nm in their longest dimension, and a resin matrix. The mica flakelets and the hexagonal boron nitride are mixed and formed into a paper (17), and the resin is added to the paper after formation, the ratio by weight of the hexagonal boron nitride to the mica flakelets is directly proportional to the average size of the hexagonal boron nitride compared to the average size of the mica flakelets, within an adjustment factor.

Abstract: A superconducting coil for a magnetic resonance apparatus is formed by one or more wound superconducting conductors that are embedded in a cured sealing compound, with nanoparticles added to the sealing compound.

Abstract: The invention relates to epoxy resins having an extremely low content of chlorine, particularly a low content of organically bound chlorine. The invention also relates to a production method during which total chlorine contents of less than 100 ppm in the epoxy resin are achieved by extracting solid epoxy resin particles, optionally after a prior comminution and/or reprecipitation. The use of these low-chlorine epoxy resins in the fields of electronics and/or electrical engineering considerably reduces the components' susceptibility to corrosion.
