Effect of Polarizing Temperature on the Characteristics of SR10Vinyl (PVC) Electrets

Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation on the charge formation and decay characteristics of SR₁₀ vinyl (PVC) electrets prepared at different temperatures are presented in this paper. The results show that the polarity of the final charge on either side of the electrets is positive irrespective of the polarizing conditions. It is also shown that polarizing temperature has a major influence on the behavior of vinyl electrets.
