Abstract

AbstractA range of different experimental evidence is presented showing the electrical properties of atactic polystyrene bulk as well as in the surface. — Charge transfer in polystyrene depends on the injection of excess electrons by metals and is discussed within the concept of a two level energy system. Through contact charging and dark conductivity measurements it is shown that one of these localized levels depends on the state of order in the polymer. — Finally the measurements of the frequency dependent dielectric constant show that the bulk properties of polystyrene, in the case of pressed‐leaf gold electrodes, and the properties of the polystyrene/gold contact, in the case of evaporated gold electrodes, can be investigated.
