Abstract
The strain tolerance of monofilamentary BSCCO 2223 tapes has been impr oved by reinforcing with aligned-MgO whiskers. Tapes reinforced with 1 5 vol. % whiskers are found to exhibit a superconducting transition te mperature of 106 K and a critical current density of 2 x 10(4) A/cm(2) at 77 K. The magnetic field dependence of current density of the rein forced tapes is found to be identical to that the unreinforced tapes. The reinforced tapes are found to sustain 90% of their initial current density even at a bend strain of 0.6%.
