The results show that at the low dose range, of 0 to 12 Gy, which is of importance for radiation biology and where the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation were not explored in the previously published work, an increase of the dose of ionizing radiation results in an increase of the thermodynamic stability as well as in an increase of the apparent molecular weight of the DNA macromolecules. In all cases conductivity changes precede by a /spl Delta/T of about 3/spl deg/C the helix to coil transition changes, as those are measured by the breakage of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This /spl Delta/T is independent of the effected molecular weight changes.","PeriodicalId":425004,"journal":{"name":"9th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 9) Proceedings","volume":"1 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":"130285871","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}

By keeping the temperature at each stepping interval, charge transport under isothermal conditions is studied to simulate the real charge decay process in non-polar electrets aged at fixed temperatures. Experiments on polypropylene film electrets were carried out for comparison. Samples were constant-voltage corona charged at RT for 10 minutes and then aged at various selected temperatures for given time periods. The mean charge depth was measured for comparison to numerical results by means of heat pulse technique. Experimental results of other non-polar electrets are also given to support our model.","PeriodicalId":425004,"journal":{"name":"9th International Symposium on Electrets (ISE 9) Proceedings","volume":"220 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":"122853029","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}

Negative charge is generally injected into both sample surfaces by a pinning process and by contact electrification during the production process, where the film is running over metal and other rollers.
