Effect of [CHCl](n >= 3)-structures on the origin and relaxation of dipolar and trapped electric space charges in chlorinated PVC
The electric space charge behaviour of chlorinated PVC has been studied via thermal step (TS) and thermally stimulated discharge current (TSDC). Chlorination has been found to change strongly the ratio between polarization and injection charges in comparison with unmodified PVC. The results allow one to take the fundamentals of the space charge behaviour of PVC an important step further.
