ELECTRET CHARGE STABILITY OF POLYOLEFIN BLENDS WITH POLAR POLYMERS
Abstract
In this paper, a comprehensive view is given on the effect of morphology, crystallinity and composition of polyolefin blends with polar polymers. Polypropylene homopolymer based blends were investigated on electret charge stability by TSSPD and phase transitions of these blends by DSC. Depending on the chemical structure of the polar polymer, already small concentrations could significantly change the charge stability. Low melting fluoropolymers had a significant higher impact than polar polymers such as ethylene methyl acrylate EMAC or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) at low additive percentages in the polypropylene matrix.
