Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rubber-based insulation materials have been widely used in the field of electrical engineering. To develop rubber with excellent nonlinear electrical conductivity can relieve the electric field concentration in the stress cone of a cable accessory. In this study, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) was selected as the rubber matrix, and copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were grown on hexagonal boron nitride (BN) using a liquid-phase chemical reduction method. The prepared CuNPs/BN fillers were introduced into the EPDM matrix to obtain CuNPs/BN/EPDM composites. The microstructures of fillers and composites were systematically characterized. Specifically, the electrical conductivity and breakdown field strength at different temperatures were measured and analyzed. The results show that filling CuNPs/BN enables the EPDM to have outstanding nonlinear electrical conductivity and weakens the temperature dependence of the electric breakdown strength. The simulation analyses also prove that CuNPs/BN/EPDM composites with nonlinear conductivity can avoid the electric field concentration in the stress cone, which is beneficial to ensure the safety and reliability operation of a cable accessory.
