Poly-etherimide epoxy diamine blends: Conductivity and breakdown voltage measurements at room temperature
Résumé
This paper presents an investigation on the current and breakdown voltage measurements in thermoset-thermoplastic blends based on an epoxy-amine/poly-etherimide phase separated material. Thermosetthermoplastic separated blends could be a novel material for insulation applications and can be compared to epoxy/inorganic composites systems. Pure epoxy network as well as the blends with 10 wt% of PEI were studied in terms of conduction and transient currents. An ohmic behavior below the threshold field (E th) and space-chargelimited conduction (SCLC) above E th are pointed out. Contact emission phenomenon was investigated by means of Schottky model and seems to be valid for both materials. The addition of 5 and 10 wt% of PEI into the epoxy system showed an increase in the values of breakdown voltage with the increase of the PEI amount.
