The paper presents the results of a comparative investigation of the thermally stimulated luminescence irradiated by electron gun in the films and fibers based on LDPE. There are three relaxation processes, which take place in the temperature interval 80-300 K: /spl gamma/-process in the temperature range 110 K, which is connected with the end and side groups of macromolecules of polymer chain, /spl beta/-process in the temperature range 150 K, which is connected with the emptying of electronic capture centers due to dipole-group mobility, and /spl alpha/-process in the temperature range 230 K which is connected with the defrosting of segmental mobility due to the phase transition from glass to high elastic state. It is important to point out that all processes observed in fibers and films can be explained at the molecular level of the given polymer structure. At the same time the comparison with the polymer film of the same material some processes in fibers meet some difficulties, which finally leads to an increase of electret stability in fiber materials.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115046368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water content of our samples, defined as the ratio of weight of sorbed water to the weight of dry sample, varied between 2.4% and 41%. The results of equilibrium water sorption measurements were analyzed by fitting experimental data to the Guggenheim-Anderson-De Boer (GAB) equation.

For this dielectric study, we use the dynamic dielectric spectroscopy, that allows us to sweep a wide frequency range (10/sup -2/-10/sup 6/ Hz), and the thermo-stimulated currents technique, that allows us to determine experimentally the fine structure of complex relaxations. We show that a type of polarisation (radiofrequency, low frequency and very low frequency polarisation) can be directly related to a kind of molecular mobility: localised and noncooperative motions, then more delocalised and cooperative motions and, finally, motions delocalised along the entire chain.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125749329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coaxial cables with piezoelectric polymer layers are highly suitable and attractive for a range of these applications. Because of the mechanical stiffness required of such cables, the most common materials for use in sensor cables are nonporous piezoelectric polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or its copolymer with trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)). Here, we first describe the operating principle and the geometry of piezoelectric polymer cables. As an active piezoelectric layer, P(VDF-TrFE) (76/24) was employed. After electrical poling with one or more point-to-cable corona discharges, we investigated the polarization in the P(VDF-TrFE) layer. Poling parameters such as electric field, poling time and distance between cable and corona needle were varied. The resulting polarization was characterized with measurements of polarization profiles across the layer thickness. The poling process developed here leads to good piezoelectric properties of the cable layer. Finally, discuss the sensor properties of the cable.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131681609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
