Abstract: This talk will cover the research on the fabrication and application of novel polymer fibres in my lab. Applying the fibre drawing technique to unusual materials or combinations of materials opens up a range of new applications. Examples that will be discussed include drawing arrays of metal filaments in a dielectric to make metamaterials and drawing very low Young’s modulus polymers for wearable sensors.

[] The presentation is focused on the life cycle of high and medium voltage (HV/MV) underground power cables from the design to end of life and includes common cable designs, installations configurations, installation errors, failure modes and both: commissioning and maintenance issues. It is based on many years of experience in cable testing and will provide real life examples. Speaker(s): Boguslaw Bochenski, PhD, PEng, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443350
