Abstract
The photoelectret properties of pure and acrylic acid (AA) doped polystyrene (PS) films formed by an isothermal immersion technique have been studied. The photoelectrets were formed by simultaneous application of u.v. radiation for a short time period (2–10 min) and d.c. electric field (3–18 V). The depolarization current was obtained by reilluminating the photoelectret with the same radiation. It is found that the photo depolarization current increases with polarizing voltage and is greater for the doped samples than for the undoped samples, prepared under identical conditions. The current increases with the dopant concentration and with duration of polarization. The total charge, found by integrating the depolarization current-time curve of doped photoelectrets, tends to saturation at a certain voltage value. Doped PS gives better photoelectrets.
