Abstract
In order to study the effects of the crystallinity of polyethylene with different densities on breakdown strength and conductance properties, this paper mainly tests the X-ray diffraction (XRD), different scanning calorimeter (DSC), direct current (DC) breakdown and conductance properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and further analyzes the experimental results separately. The results show that an increase in the density of polyethylene leads to the continuous improvement of crystallinity, and an increase in crystallinity causes a significant decrease in the conduction current at the same field strength. The field strength corresponding to the two turning points in the conductance characteristic curve increases simultaneously.
Highlights
Polyethylene is a partially crystalline solid whose properties are highly dependent on the relative content of the crystalline phase and amorphous phase, i.e., crystallinity
Based on the existing research on polyethylene and polyethylene nano-polyethylene [18,19], this paper studied the effects of different crystallinity on the direct current (DC) breakdown strength and conductance property of different density polyethylene
The crystallinity of the polymer is directly proportional to the diffraction peak intensity that the diffraction peak intensities of the four kinds of polyethylene are arranged from small to of the X-ray diffraction (XRD), soMDPE, it can be concluded thatThe thecrystallinity crystallinityof of the the polymer four polymers is in proportional order from large to large: high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE)
Summary
Polyethylene is a partially crystalline solid whose properties are highly dependent on the relative content of the crystalline phase and amorphous phase, i.e., crystallinity. Some scholars believe that the charge transport mechanism of doped nano-polyethylene in high field strength region (non-ohmic region) is dominated by ion hopping conductance, and it can be deduced from the formula that the ion jump distance increases with increasing temperature [10,11]. They pointed out the “pre-electric stress” effect of polymer nanocomposites under a high electric field [12,13]; others believe that it is dominated by electronic hopping conductance, and the jump distance decreases with increasing temperature [14].
