Enhancing comprehensive performance of cellulose insulating paper modified by atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma with Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane/O2 addition

In oil-immersed transformers, cellulose insulating paper deteriorates when exposed to electric field, moisture, and high temperature for a long time, leading to decrease in mechanical strength and insulating performance, which affects the service life and operational reliability. In this paper, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is adopted to generate atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma for the treatment of cellulose insulating paper with Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS)/O2 as the re
