Nevertheless, the submillimetric region (10 to 50 cm−1) remains yet practically unexplored. In this region polymeric structures show broad absorption bands and rather poor polarization compared to single crystal structures. The absorption comes typically from intermolecular torsional modes, intermolecular motions in both amorphous and crystalline regions and relaxation processes from defects associated with the amorphous phase [3]. A few studies have been carried out but the interpretation of the spectra was rather delicate [4,5]. Frequently, apparent losses due to diffraction in the sample masks the true polymer absorption. In a previous paper we have described a theoretical model that allowed us to calculate the submillimetric absorption [6].","PeriodicalId":354533,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1986","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131411575","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}

Such materials have been molecularly designed along these lines to show very high dielectric constants (superdielectrics), to have usefully low dielectric loss, excellent chemical and thermal stability, or to have very high piezo-resistance or piezo-polarization responses.

It is well-established that when optical fibers are exposed to 60Co γ-rays, the attenuation of the signal through the fiber decreases (1–3). This is due to damage produced in the fiber by radiation. The nuclear reactor radiates not only γ-rays, but also thermal neutrons.

Furthemore, electrical insulation such as polyethylene can be crosslinked with penetrating electron irradiation and thus be exposed to charge injection. While polyethylene is a widely used dielectric material, especially in cables, there is little direct information about its charge retention capabilities or the magnitude and distribution of residual charges which accumulate during the radiation process. Some studies of space charges in PE have employed electro-optic methods,[1] but they required the PE to be heated to softening temperatures so as to make it sufficiently transparent for the optical measurement. In this study, the pulsed electro-acoustic method [2,3] was used on samples at room temperature and below to non-destructively determine and monitor the volume charges in PE.","PeriodicalId":354533,"journal":{"name":"Conference on Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Phenomena — Annual Report 1986","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114656885","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}
