Abstract
ABSTRACTUsing coupling agent isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (ICTOS) to modified nano‐TiO2, the polyimide (PI) with different titanium dioxide (TiO2) contents (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt %) doped nano‐composites were prepared by sol–gel method (PI/TiO2 ICTOS composites). The effect of ICTOS modification on polarization and time‐to‐breakdown properties of composites were investigated by thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) method, dielectric, and Corona aging measurements. The TSDC spectra show that ICTOS modification enhanced α‐peak intensity and make β‐peak disappear in composites. Relevant trap parameters were calculated by an approximate model, and the results indicate that introduction of ICTOS is effective for the charge carrier traps, activation energy distribution in composites. Corona aging measurement show corona resistance was also sufficient improved in PI/TiO2 ICTOS composites. The changes of activation energy and intensity of traps in composites may be responsible for the corona resistance. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45101.
