Thermally Stimulated Currents of PE/Ionomer Blends

PE/Ionomer블렌드의 열자격 전류

The behavior of space charge in PE/ionomer blends has been investigated using the thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. In the blends, at least two TSC peaks over the temperature range from -50 to 100\ulcorner are observed, one at -5 ~ 10\ulcorner (a peak) and the others at above 60\ulcorner (a peak). The a peak is assigned as the orientation of dipoles from the ionomer component. Two a peaks seem to be related to the charge trapping at sites related to the crystalline phases. One a peak is associated with the ionic interfaces and the other with the ethylene chains without the ionic interfaces. The amount of charges stored in PE/Surlyn 1652 blends increases as the poling field increases over the field range of +8 ~ +30 kV/mm, whereas that in PE/Surlyn 1601 blends increases slightly at low poling fields and then decreases at high poling fields above +10 kV/mm. Exact reasons for such a dirrerence are not known at this point.
