Stability conditions for polymer dielectrics in uniform electric field

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A classical model system consisting of the polymer molecules under the influence of a homogeneous external electric field is presented. A set of Lagrange equations of motion, characterized by only the nearest interactions of the atoms, are formulated. From them, the stability conditions for a polymer, defining a pre-breakdown phenomenon in the presence of an external homogeneous electric field, are derived.
