This presentation gives an overview of recent materials research activities carried out at NASA Glenn Research Center. The background and motivation for the development of thermally conductive electrical insulation for a high voltage (HV) turboelectric aircraft concept is briefly discussed. A summary of the challenges and technology gap associated with HV aerospace electrical systems is also covered as well as the development of electrical insulation and engineered ceramic fillers and HV test capabilities. The research has expanded to include the development of a lightweight copper/ carbon nanotube composite conductor. Applications for these materials include hybrid electric aircraft, all electric aircraft, spacecraft, electric propulsion systems, and future power transmission systems for Lunar and Martian destinations.
