On a Novel Molecular Microstructure Based Approach to the Extrinsic Space Charges Releasing in Polypropylene (pp)
The release of the extrinsic charges produced when applying an electric stress has been studied for four polypropylene samples of distinct well controlled molecular microstructure by Thermal Stimulated Discharge Current (TSDC), with the aim of stating the correlation between the rho relaxation (intensity and temperature) and the tacticity induced polymer microstructure, and of, demonstrating that the traps of space charges are not chain defects as usually proposed but that they relate to some normal local chain configurations.
