METAL LAMINATE MATERIALS WITH INCLUSIONS OF DIELECTRIC MATERIAL FOR THE ENHANCEMENT AND CONTROL OF THE INTERFACE ELECTRIC FIELD AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION

摘要

The invention concerns the development of a material suitable to enhance the interface electric field during polarization processes of the same material, such as, for instance, during a "glow discharge" or an electrolysis. The material comprises a metal matrix capable to absorb hydrogen and its isotopes, preferably palladium, on the surface of which there are provided, by any suitable method, some inclusions of dielectric material or in any case some surface defects, having a fixed size and space distribution, and of such a nature ad they result in a suitable dispersion of the dielectric constant and, in addition, shows a surface rugosity. Such conditions are required for the material to result in a particularly high localization of the interface electric field during polarization processes.
