While the reliability of bulk insulation has become important particularly in multilayer boards and embedded boards, electronics are to be used under various environments such as at high temperature and in high humidity. We observed internal space charge behavior for two types of epoxy composites under dc electric fields to investigate the influence of water at high temperature. In the case of glass/epoxy specimen, homocharge is observed at water-treated specimen, and spatial oscillations become clearer in the water-treated specimens. Electric field in the vicinity of the electrodes shows the injection of homocharge. In aramid/epoxy specimens, heterocharge is observed at water-treated specimens, i.e. negative charge accumulates near the anode, while positive charge accumulates near the cathode. Electric field is enhanced just before each electrode. In order to further examine the mechanism of space charge formation, we have developed a new system that allows in situ space charge observation during ion migration tests at high temperature and high humidity. Using this in situ system.

The thermostimulated discharge currents of low-density polyethylene electrets were measured versus the principal experimental variables. Several electrode types were used for the charging and discharging procedures. The results led to know the experimental conditions for the heterocharge and homocharge accumulating and decreasing. The electronic structure parameters of polyethylene such as trap level, density of traps, hopping length, mobility, trap time constants were deduced. A method for evaluating the local electric field inside the electret is proposed.

Space charge distributions in silane crosslinked polyethylene (SXLPE)/ crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) laminates was investigated using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. XLPE shows heterocharge while SXLPE shows homocharge. Positive charge is accumulated at the interface of SXLPE/XLPE laminate when applied electric field is more than 20 kV/mm. The charge profile at various temperatures was also acquired using temperature-controllable PEA system. Although applied electric field is only 8.6 kV/mm, positive interfacial charge starts to appear near 50$^{\circ}C$.

The behaviour of interfacial charge in EPDM/XLPE laminates has been investigated by measuring charge distributions using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. Homocharge develops in EPDM while heterocharge develops in XLPE. A broadly interfacial charge peak is observed at EPDM/XLPE interface. When EPDM /XLPE laminates are treated in high temperature for different times, the amount and polarity of interfacial charge are changed.

The investigations included the measurements of volume currents and also internal space charges on epoxy samples of mm thicknesses. The current versus time relations were shown to correspond well with classical forms of dielectric response such as the Curie-von Schweidler model. After the time transient, near steady currents were extremely small and exhibited a significant temperature dependence, similar in relation to the Poole-Frenkel hoping transport model. Equivalent resistances were on the order of $10^{19}$ ohms and represent very weak charge transport. Electrically stimulated acoustic waves were used to quantify the small internal charges that would accumulate within the epoxy. There was a notable homocharge near both anode and cathode. The dielectric response and the internal charge were related to show a consistent model for charge transport within unfilled epoxy.

The space charge and conduction characteristics of chemically modified vinylpyridine (VP) grafted low density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated. VP grafted LDPE was analyzed by elemental analysis (EA) to confirm the grafting reaction. Homocharge was developed in VP grafted LDPE at low graft ratios and changed to heterocharge with increasing the content of VP. In conduction experiment, current densities of VP grafted LDPE were lower than that of LDPE and VP grafted LDPEs showed almost the same conduction characteristics as vinylpyridine graft ratio increased

Space charge formation in epoxy loaded with silica and calcium carbonate has been studied. The epoxy itself showed almost no charge at up to 40 kV/mm. The addition of fillers such as SiO$_2$and CaCO$_3$resulted in homocharge formation, which was attributed to the interfacial trapping of injected charge at epoxy/filler interfaces. The amount of charge showed a maximum at 20-40 parts per hundred resin above which the charge decreased gradually. This was tentatively attributed to the enhanced interconection of charge transport path by an increased filler content

The electrical properties such as space charge accumulation, dielectric breakdown and water treeing of acrylic acid-grafted polyethylene (PE-g-AA) and n-butyl acrylate-grafted polyethylene (PE-g-nBA) were investigated. In PE-g-AA, heterocharge founded in LDPE decreased with the increase of AA graft ratio and changed to the homocharge formation above 0.lwt% due to the introduction of carbonyls. Conduction currents decreased with the increase of AA graft ratio. AC breakdown strength increased and water treeing length decreased with the increase of graft ratio in PE-g-AA and PE-g-nBA.

The space charge formation in polyethylene (PE)/ethylene n-butyl acrylate (EnBA) blends were investigated. Heterocharge was found in PE and EnBA containing 5 mole% of nBA while homocharge was found in EnBAs containing 19 and 20% of nBA. All PE/EnBA blends except the one with the EnBA containing 5% nBA showed heterocharge formation. Heterocharge was also found in crosslinked PE/EnBA blends, which was attributed to the volatile residuals generated by the thermal decomposition of peroxide.

Chemical structure and electrical properties such as water treeing and space charge accumulation of various raw materials(XLPE) used for power cable insulation were investigated. It was found that chemical structure was changed after crosslinking reaction and every materials have different amounts of DCP and antioxidant. Electrical properties were also changed after extraction using $CHCl_3$ and xylene. Water tree length was smaller with additives such as DCP and antioxidant and bigger with low molecular weight components of polyethylene than that of extracted samples. Heterocharge was changed into homocharge after extraction. This shows that additives and low molecular weight components of polyethylene cause the heterocharge.
