Aramid paper has been widely applied in the field of insulation because of its excellent electrical insulation performance, thermal stability and mechanical properties. However, the porosity of aramid paper is a weakness easy to b e broken down, which limits the performance and application expansion of aramid paper. To solve this problem, aramid papers w ere made from aramid floes and aramid fibrids with different proportions, and then coated with various insulating adhesives ( styrene-butadiene latex, polyvinyl alcohol, polyetherimide, silicone rubber, phenolic resin and urea-formaldehyde resin) to fabricate aramid-coated paper. The effects of fiber ratio and adhesive on the microstructure, electrical insulation properties, mechanical properties and thermal stability of coated paper were studied. The results show that coating adhesive can effectively improve the insulation properties and mechanical properties of aramid paper. Coated with phenolic resin, the breakdown strength of aramid-coated paper has the greatest improvement. When the ratio of aramid fibrids and aramid floes is 3 : 7, the breakdown strength and corona time of aramid-coated paper are up to 41 kV /mm and 434 h, respectively, which are 3. 6 times and 7. 3 times higher than that of the base paper. When the ratio of aramid fibrids and aramid floes is 7 : 3 and styrene-butadiene latex is used as adhesive, the tensile strength of aramid-coated paper reach 93. 7 N • m/g. More importantly, the coating method is a mature industrial production process in the paper industry, which will improve the possibility of industrial production of aramid-coated paper.
