Dielectrics in Electric Fields explores the influence of electric fields on dielectric—ie, non-
conducting or insulating—materials, examining the distinctive behaviors of these materials …

More than fifty years after the publication of the early work on conduction and dielectric
breakdown of solids, we are still unable to describe quantitatively the electrical response of …

This review focuses on the use of polyolefins in high‐voltage direct‐current (HVDC) cables
and capacitors. A short description of the latest evolution and current use in HVDC cables …

The effect of various chemical impurities in polyethylene on the electronic structure, trap
depths, electron density, interchain interaction, etc. has been studied through the use of …

It is emphasized that polyethylene prepared from the melt is a natural nano-dielectric having
contrasting conductive crystallites and resistive amorphous regions of nanometric …

We report computer simulations of an excess electron in various structural motifs of
polyethylene at room temperature, including lamellar and interfacial regions between …

A model for positive hole transport in polyethylene is developed which takes particular
account of the crystalline-amorphous morphology of the polymer. The significant feature is …

The properties of novel cable insulation systems will rely critically upon the morphology of
the material. Here, a blend of high and low‐density polyethylene (PE) was processed in …

Polyethylene is commonly used as an insulator for highvoltage electric cables. 1 A long
standing problem with polymeric insulators is that they trap charge, to form what is usually …

This paper intends to reveal the interface trapping effect on the charge transport
characteristics of LDPE/ZnO nanocomposite by combined study of the nanocomposite …
