Abstract
This paper reviews many new and emerging areas of polymer science and its application to power engineering. Electrical and electronic devices make extensive use of polymers in applications ranging from connectors, sockets and switches to bushings, spacers, control panels, supports etc. New areas like electro-active polymers and conductive polymers are finding many applications in everyday use. Conductive polymers unlock the potential to improve a variety of items from electronics to electrical engineering. Hydrogen fuel cells hold promise for the future. This paper highlights the importance of developments in polymer science and its relevance to power engineering.
