We found that charging field and charging temperature strongly affect the relative flow rate of water. The structure of porous PTFE, investigated by a scanning electron microscope, is important for understanding the influence of charging conditions on material permeability. The increase of the ratio of bulk charge density to surface charge density of the porous films was performed by thermal treatment during charging. Such porous films may be employed as electret filter membranes for purification of dielectric liquids.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"60 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":"117263397","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}

Transient anomalous charging currents (ACC) have been observed recently for LDPE and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon FEP). The paper reports on the ACC and ADC measured in the two materials at various temperatures, field strengths, for nonconditioned and conditioned samples, in a vacuum or ambient air conditions. The ADC is almost the mirror image of the ACC. Three characteristic zones have been identified, which are mainly determined by dielectric polarization, bulk conduction mechanisms, electrode effects and charge diffusion. The measurement of ACC and ADC can be used as a valuable technique for studying the charge transport and trapping mechanisms in correlation with the bulk and electrode effects. The upper limit for the drift mobility for LDPE at 80/spl deg/C and 1.5 MV m/sup -1/ was estimated to be 3.5/spl times/10/sup -13/ m/sup 2/V/sup -1/s/sup -1/ and for Teflon, at 140/spl deg/C and 16 MV m/sup -1/, to be 5.4/spl times/10/sup -16/ m/sup 2/ V/sup -1/ s/sup -1/.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"12 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":"131398686","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}

It relies on the presence of charge-asymmetric functional groups (dipoles) in the material under investigation. Significantly, the motion induced by an impressed field is not exclusive but depends on the nature of the coupling to neighbouring groups, generating in each dielectric spectrum considerable information concerning both dipolar and non-dipolar segments of polymeric or other molecules. Molecular mobility in polymers is influenced by the presence of low molecular weight additives, crosslinking, branching, inter- and intra-molecular interactions from hydrogen bonds and other sources, co-polymerization, blending, and degradation, and by dielectric inhomogeneities at the boundaries between macroscopic sub-structures. Consequently, dielectric spectroscopy is appropriate for the investigation of phase morphology and miscibility, and for the characterisation of changes induced by irradiation or the presence of additives. The utility of the spectroscopy is enhanced when used in conjunction with complementary analytical techniques.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"284 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":"123791605","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 blend specimen of 90 wt.% LDPE and 10 wt.% polypropylene copolymer (B10) showed more space charge than pure LDPE (PE) under a DC field of 50 MV m/sup -1/ at both 30 and 60/spl deg/C. Positive space charge moved more slowly in B10 than in PE at 30/spl deg/C. DC current of B10 was less than that of PE at 30/spl deg/C, but higher at 60/spl deg/C. The decay characteristics of space charge after short-circuiting were also investigated. The decay processes for both PE and B10 had two time constants which suggest the existence of two kinds of carrier traps. The activation energy was estimated from the temperature dependence of decay time constant. The activation energy corresponding to trap depth increased by blending polypropylene copolymer with LDPE, suggesting the modification of traps by blending.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"8 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":"123718021","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}
