Electrical degradation of polymers of styrene and substituted styrenes. 2

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Different substituted styrene monomers (p-amino styrene (p-AS), p-dimethylamino styrene (p-DMAS), p-trifluoromethyl styrene (p-TFMS), p-phenoxy styrene (p-PhOS), p-benzyloxy styrene (p-BeOS) and p-chloromethyl styrene (p-CIMS)) were copolymerized with styrene. Homopolymers were produced of monomers p-PhOS and p-butoxy styrene (p-BuOS). Thin films of the polymers were subjected to external partial discharges in air and the time to breakdown was measured. The stability of the polymers towards partial discharges is discussed with reference to radical formation and segmental mobility.
