AI Technical Summary
Polyimide varnishes used for insulating coatings on electric vehicle windings face high frictional forces during processing, leading to deformation of windings and reduced workability.
A self-lubricating polyimide varnish is developed using polyamic acid, nanosilica surface-modified with organosilane, and a silicon-based additive to reduce friction, while maintaining heat resistance, insulation, and mechanical properties.
The self-lubricating polyimide varnish improves processing efficiency by reducing friction, ensuring the integrity of winding shapes and maintaining essential properties like adhesion and mechanical strength.
