Dielectric and electret properties of polyethylene modified by phosphorus trichloride
The electret charge stabilization in polyethylene films modified by the PCL3 vapors has been investigated. Measurements were made using both the thermally-stimulated surface potential relaxation method (electret techniques) and the di-electric spectroscopy method. It has been found that the treatment of polyethylene results in the formation of functional groups leading to the decrease of molecular mobility.
