Electrical Breakdown Properties of Highly Elongated Polyethylene

고연신(高延伸)Polyethylene의 절연파괴특성(絶緣破壞特性)

In this paper, the relationship between electrical breakdown properties and the molecular orientation owing to elongation was investigation from electrical conductivity, electrical breakdown strength and X-ray diffraction wag investigated. The changes of the stretching direction, from an a-axis orientation(at high elongation) to a c-axis orientation(at high elongation), as the elongation increases, were determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. These results suggest that the tendency for a decrease in the trap density at a higher elongation is consistent with a continuous change of the reorientation from the a-axis to the c-axis as the elongation increases.
