Polyethylene has been widely used as the insulation material in power cables. POSS (Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes) is a type of filler that may improve the properties of polyethylene. In this paper, space charge characteristics of low density polyethylene (LDPE) based composites containing three different unreactive POSS have been studied. The three unreactive POSS are OmPOSS (OctaMethyl POSS), OibPOSS (OctalsoButyl POSS) and IoPOSS (IsoOctyl POSS). It has been found that the charge injection threshold field of neat LDPE is higher than that of three POSS composites. The different charge dynamics under higher applied voltage in the neat LDPE and three POSS composites show that the charge mobility, trap density, trap depth, recombination between opposite sign of charge are different. This helps us to understand how the structure of POSS affect polymer properties.

Abstract

Polyethylene has been widely used as the insulation material in power cables. POSS (Polyhedral Oligomeric SilSesquioxanes) is a type of filler that may improve the properties of polyethylene. In this paper, space charge characteristics of low density polyethylene (LDPE) based composites containing three different unreactive POSS have been studied. The three unreactive POSS are OmPOSS (OctaMethyl POSS), OibPOSS (OctalsoButyl POSS) and IoPOSS (IsoOctyl POSS). It has been found that the charge injection threshold field of neat LDPE is higher than that of three POSS composites. The different charge dynamics under higher applied voltage in the neat LDPE and three POSS composites show that the charge mobility, trap density, trap depth, recombination between opposite sign of charge are different. This helps us to understand how the structure of POSS affect polymer properties.
