Abstract

Polymer nanocomposites have attracted wide interest as a method of enhancing polymer properties and extending their applications. Surface potential decay has been used widely as a tool to monitor charge transport and trapping characteristics of insulating materials. Polyimide (PI) as an engineering material has been paid more attention due to high thermal and chemical stability, good mechanical property and excellent insulating property in a wide range of temperature. There has been a lot of work over last few years on optical, thermal and mechanical properties of polyimide nanocomposites. However, little attention has been given to the effect of nano-fillers on charge transport and trapping in polyimide nanocomposites. In the present paper, pure, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% polyimide nanocomposites was examined by using surface potential decay in conjunction with dc conductivity measurement and both experiments showed that 3% is the optimal value for electrical insulation.
