TSDC spectra in negatively corona charged ABS electrets

Summary

Corona charging technique has been used during polymer electret formation. Investigations of the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) in the electrets formed from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) terpolymer films were carried out. The optimum conditions for negatively corona-charged ABS films were determined. With the aid of partial heating technique, a single peak was obtained at T=381±2 K. This peak is associated with the temperature which was attributed to the motion of the bulk detrapping electrons arising from the thermal agitation as well as from erosion of the traps by the molecular motion. The activation energy of the process has been calculated. The electret property can be described in terms of dipolar relaxation process.
