TSDC spectra reveal three peaks, the first two being attributed to the reorientation of free and loosely bound water molecules respectively, whereas the third one is a manifestation of the glass transition in the hydrogel constituents. DRS spectra display a dielectric dispersion which shifts gradually to lower frequencies with decreasing T. The water crystallization at T<0 /spl deg/C, as well as the non-reversibility of the freezing-thawing process, are clearly demonstrated from the evolution of ac conductivity spectra with temperature.","PeriodicalId":425004,"journal":{"name":"9th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 9) Proceedings","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132658836","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 TSDC thermograms of EC were characterized by two peaks at 343 and 423 K in the case of similar electrodes. With dissimilar electrodes, however, a broad peak was observed between 413-433 K. Transient currents, have been found to follow the Curie-von-Schweidler law, characterized with different slopes in short and long time regions and having different values of decay constant. The corresponding energies are found to increase with measurement time of the discharge current. The conductivity of the films is increased on doping with malachite green. A close scrutiny of the observed results suggest that a dipolar mechanism coupled with space charge formation due to accumulation of charge carriers near the electrodes and subsequent trapping of such carriers in the bulk may be considered as the dominant mechanism responsible for discharging currents. The effect of doping with malachite green on the discharge current indicates the formation of molecular aggregates.","PeriodicalId":425004,"journal":{"name":"9th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 9) Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117037194","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 try to make a simulation calculation to get a survey on the behavior of excess charge by a process of polarization and depolarization in a polymer. Excess charge carrier is supposed to occupy deep traps in stable equilibrium at room temperature, and transfers to a shallow level state with temperature rise. We notice that over glass transition point T/sub g/, where micro Brownian motion of chain molecule grows active, excited molecular motion promotes excess carrier to escape from trap and to migrate in a material more quickly.","PeriodicalId":425004,"journal":{"name":"9th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 9) Proceedings","volume":"227 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127506062","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}
