Electret composite materials based on polymers: Main properties and new fields of application

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Data are given on the effect of an electret charge on wetting, spreading, sorption, and diffusion of liquids in polymers and composites. The modification of polymers in electric fields or by electret and electrochemically active fillers improves the physical-mechanical and tribological characteristics of materials. It is shown that the electret composites used in machines for protecting the metal-polymer joints against corrosion increase their rigidity and tightness and improve their tribological characteristics. Electret composites are new-generation materials (smart or intelligent materials) since they respond to recent developments in technology and are capable of raising the efficiency of machines with simultaneous reduction in energy and consumption of materials.
