ABSTRACT
This book, entitled Advanced Nanodielectrics, describes applications and fundamentals of nanocomposite insulation materials. There are indeed concerns about the harmful effects of nanomaterials on the human body and the environment, but nanocomposite insulation materials have superior properties to conventional materials. In this chapter, the first section provides the risk assessment of nanofillers, which are typical nanomaterials, and gives guidelines concerning nanofiller handling. The second section proposes future prospects in the power and industrial sector based on nanocomposite insulation materials and considers the role of nanocomposite insulation materials and their contribution to a sustainable society, which is one of the issues in the twenty- first century. This section also encourages interdisciplinary cooperation between electrical, material, chemical, physical, biological, and computer simulation engineering to accelerate the nanocomposite research in the industry and academia.
