The article not only summarizes the efforts of up-to-date research, but also provides conclusions about primary conduction mechanisms in dielectric polymers under increased temperatures and high electric fields, including hopping conduction, Schottky injection, and Poole-Frenkel emission. Solutions to suppress these mechanisms are suggested with evidence and theoretical analysis supported by literature.
