Charging state of polyethylene composites with TlGaTe2 semiconductor filler

Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the charge state of polymer composites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a ferroelectric semiconductor filler TlGaTe2 at a volume content of 3, 7, 10 vol.%, And the ferroelectric semiconductor TlGaTe2 itself, as well as to study the temperature dependence of their dielectric constant ε(T) and electrical conductivity ρ(T). It is shown that the introduction of the semiconductor filler TlGaTe2 into the polymer matrix of HDPE makes it possible to control the charge state of polymer composites HDPE/TlGaTe2, which can contribute to a purposeful change in the electrophysical properties of these materials.
