Abstract

Direct measurement of space charge and conduction current was carried out on low-density polyethylene degraded by ultraviolet radiation using a pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method. Dominant heterocharges were formed near both electrodes by high voltage application and was found to be deeply trapped. In this paper, the effect of temperature and electric field reversal on the detrapping and trapping of space charges was investigated and the role of space charge in electrical conduction was discussed quantitatively. The main mechanism for detrapping and trapping of space charges was the Poole-Frenkel model
