Specific absorption rate is generally determined by measuring the electric field distribution in a phantom made of a shell filled with tissue-equivalent dielectric liquid. Based on the dielectric properties of various tissues, recipes of the liquids are proposed in international standards. We measured the time dependence of permittivities and conductivities of tissue-equivalent dielectric liquids made of deionised water and polyhydric alcohol, and discussed its influence on specific absorption rate values. The results suggest that permittivities decreased with time due to evaporation of water. The specific absorption rate, however, was not affected significantly by the change of permittivity.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"5 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":"123099623","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}

In the present study it was found, however, that in semicrystalline ferroelectric polymers, containing both crystalline and amorphous phases, polarization continues to grow under an applied field during times 5-6 orders of magnitude longer than the reported switching times. It is demonstrated that the controversy can be resolved by taking into account the effect of conductivity in such materials. It is shown that there are two temporal contributions to the ferroelectric polarization, of which the first one is field dependent and originates from a fast alignment of dipoles in crystallites, while the second slow component is controlled by conductivity. Appropriate modeling reveals the importance of charge accumulated at the interfacial boundaries to form the slow ferroelectric polarization contribution. Good agreement of calculated and measured polarization has been observed for PVDF.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"4 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":"125595867","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}

Wide angle X-ray diffraction shows two peaks in the region of 2/spl theta/ = 18-20/spl deg/ for all the blends, which indicates that the blends have the same crystal lattice structures as the copolymers. DSC results show that the blends display the phase transition characteristics of both copolymers of 77/23 and 56/44.

To study the energy distribution of deep traps, photostimulated discharge spectra of electron-beam and corona-charged polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene terephthalate (PETP) and cellular polypropylene (PP) films were recorded for wavelengths between 200 and 400 nm. In addition, space-charge profiles were measured using the piezoelectrically generated pressure-step (PPS) method in order to monitor the detrapping process. Strong discharge currents of up to 15 pA/cm/sup 2/ were found in PETP around the UV absorption edge near 310 nm. Initial results show a quantitative depopulation of near-surface charges, whereas only partial detrapping could be achieved for bulk charges. Three distinct trapping levels could be identified in PP films.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"24 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":"125920037","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}

We show the existence of three dipolar relaxation modes: the /spl alpha/ mode assigned to the glass relaxation, the /spl beta/ mode, a secondary relaxation mode, below Tg and the /spl alpha/' mode, above Tg, dielectric manifestation of the liquid-liquid transition. We follow the shift of these relaxations with frequency, determine the behaviour laws of relaxation times and the fine structure of these complex modes. From the comparison of these results, we identify the effect of the alkyl group length on the relaxations and we, propose a phenomenological model to describe the molecular mobility through the glass transition.","PeriodicalId":331115,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings. 11th International Symposium on Electrets","volume":"7 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":"126018972","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}
