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}

Two dielectric spectroscopies are used in order to enlarge the accessible frequency range: the dynamic dielectric spectroscopy and the thermo-stimulated currents technique. 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}
