The dielectric effect of xylene on an organoclay-containing composite
The dielectric effect of xylene on an organoclay-containing composite
The influence of a non-polar solvent, xylene, on the electrical properties of a composite system containing polypropylene, copolymer ethylene/(vinyl acetate) and an organoclay has been considered since the synthesis of composites often involves a solvent. Although in isolation neither the organoclay nor the xylene has a marked effect on the dielectric response of the system, when combined synergistic effects can be seen. We interpret this in terms of solvent-mediated relaxation of amphiphilic compatibiliser moieties introduced into the organoclay to aid processability. These local relaxation processes appear to adversely affect the breakdown strength of the system, which is recoverable upon the removal of xylene from the system.

Abstract
The influence of a non-polar solvent, xylene, on the electrical properties of a composite system containing polypropylene, copolymer ethylene/(vinyl acetate) and an organoclay has been considered since the synthesis of composites often involves a solvent. Although in isolation neither the organoclay nor the xylene has a marked effect on the dielectric response of the system, when combined synergistic effects can be seen. We interpret this in terms of solvent-mediated relaxation of amphiphilic compatibiliser moieties introduced into the organoclay to aid processability. These local relaxation processes appear to adversely affect the breakdown strength of the system, which is recoverable upon the removal of xylene from the system.
