Abstract Purified rubber was prepared by the digestion of crude rubber or latex with water at about 190° C., followed by extraction with water and with alcohol, and drying in an atmosphere of inert gas. The digestion hydrolyzed the proteins, and the extraction removed the hydrolysis products, resins, and other impurities. The purified rubber contained about 99.5 per cent of rubber hydrocarbon. Properties of the rubber hydrocarbon at 25° C. were: density, 0.9060; refractive index, 1.5184; dielectric constant at 1000 cycles per second, 2.37; power factor at 1000 cycles per second, 0.0015; conductivity at the end of 1 minute, 2.2×10−7 mho. The electrical properties measured on 14 samples were apparently independent of the botanical source or the kind of crude rubber.

Abstract The electrical measurements given in this paper differ from those previously reported by the authors and by other investigators in that they were made on specimens prepared from purified rubber. The purification, which involved the removal of proteins, resins, and water-soluble salts, affected all the electrical properties to some extent, but did not alter the general character of the variation in electrical properties with composition, temperature, or frequency. The results of the present investigation afford comprehensive data on the electrical properties of rubber-sulfur compounds, and may form a basis for designing rubber compounds for specific electrical uses. They also demonstrate the inadequacy of the simple numerical coefficients that are sometimes employed to evaluate the changes in the electrical properties with temperature and frequency. A discussion of the results from the standpoint of modern dielectric theory is not included in the present paper, but is contemplated for a separate paper.

In the presented work, the optical and electrical properties of composite materials (PVA-PEG-Sr2O3) were measured, as the electrical properties were verified at various frequencies in range of 100 Hz-6 MHz. In addition, the experimental results showed that the increase in frequency causes a reduction in the dielectric loss (δ) and dielectric constant (ɛ), and there is an increase in ɛ due to the increase in the content of antimony oxide (Sr2O3). It increases with increasing frequency and decreases with increasing Sr2O3 content in PVA-PEG-Sr2O3 compounds, the result of the optical properties of the nanoparticles (PVA-PEG-Sr2O3) showed that the values transmittance and energy gap were reduced with the increases in the concentrations of Sr2O3 NPs, whereas the values related to extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient, optical conductivity, refractive index, and dielectric constant (imaginary, real) were increased with increase in the concentration of Sr2O3 NPs.

Abstract This paper reports the results of a study on the effect of pressure on the dielectric constant, power factor, and conductivity of rubber-sulfur compounds, and is the third paper of a series dealing with the electrical properties of rubber-sulfur compounds. The previous papers dealt with the effect of sulfur content, temperature, and current frequency on these electrical properties. The results reported in the present paper have been corrected for changes in the dimensions of specimens caused by changes in pressure. The required data for making these corrections were obtained from a detailed study of the compressibility of rubber-sulfur compounds which has recently been completed.

Effect Of Moisture

ABSTRACTMoisture absorption and its effect on electrical properties were measured for several polyimides. A Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) was used to investigate the moisture absorption in BPDA/PPD, PMDA/ODA, and BTDA//ODA/MPD polyimides. The steady-state moisture uptake in polyimides as a function of relative humidity (RH) was determined by exposing film samples to successively higher RH values ranging from 10 to 85% at 25°C. The isothermal moisture absorption as a function of percent RH was found to be nearly linear for all of the polyimides studied. The effect of moisture on the electrical properties of a BPDA/PPD polyimide was also investigated. The relative dielectric constant at 25 °C was found to be a linear function of the moisture absorbed.

Effect Of Treatment

Sr0.48Ba0.24Ca0.28TiO3-based varistor ceramics with an excellent capacitor-varistor multifunctional characteristics (V1mA = 11 ~ 49 ν.mm-1, α = 6.1 ~ 11.3, ε r max=3.5×105, tanδmin = 5%) were prepared using conventional solid method. The effect of oxidation temperature and time on structure and electrical properties were investigated. The results show that with increasing the oxidation temperature from 800°C to 900°C, the varistor voltage V1mA and non-linearity coefficient α defining varistor characteristics increase linearly, while the dielectric constant ε r and dielectric loss tanδ decrease linearly. There exists an optimum α value when the specimens were oxidized at 850°C for 3h. This behavior was explained through various defect reactions of dopants.

Casting Technique

The influence of dispersing Al-metal complex on the optical properties of PVA was investigated using UV–visible spectroscopy. Polymer composite films with various Al3+-complex amounts in the PVA matrix were arranged by solution casting technique by means of distilled water as a widespread solvent. The formation of Al3+-metal complex was verified through Ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) examinations. The addition of Al-complex into the polymer matrix led to the recovery of the optical parameters such as dielectric constant (εr and εi) and refractive index (n). The variations of real and imaginary parts of complex dielectric constant as a function of photon wavelength were studied to calculate localized charge density values (N/m*), high-frequency dielectric constant, relaxation time, optical mobility, optical resistivity, and plasma angular frequency (ωp) of electrons. In proportion with Al3+-complex content, the N/m* values were amplified from 3.68 × 1055 kg−1 m−3 to 109 × 1055 kg−1 m−3. The study of optical parameters may find applications within optical instrument manufacturing. The optical band gap was determined from Tauc’s equation, and the type of electronic transition was specified. A remarkable drop in the optical band gap was observed. The dispersion of static refractive index (no) of the prepared composites was analyzed using the theoretical Wemple–DiDomenico single oscillator model. The average oscillator energy (Eo) and oscillator dispersion energy (Ed) parameters were estimated.

The goal of this study was to investigate the optical properties of the prepared polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite films. The PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films consist of the addition of different concentrations with both non-annealed ZnO nanoparticles and ZnO nanoparticles annealed at temperature of 700°C. The PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films by weight concentrations of (0 wt.%, 2.5 wt.%, 5 wt.% and 10 wt.%) have been prepared by the casting method. The optical absorbance and transmittance values of the composites films were measured in the wavelength range between (250 to 1100 nm) at room temperature by using the UV-1800 Shimadzu spectrophotometer. The optical properties (absorption coefficient, dielectric constant, refractive index, and optical conductivity) have been investigated by the ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometer. The optical parameters (direct optical energy gap, excitation energy for electronic transitions, the dispersion energy, static refractive index, static dielectric constant, optical oscillator strengths, the moments of optical spectrum, linear optical susceptibility, third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, nonlinear refractive index, high-frequency dielectric constant, the carrier concentration to the effective mass ratio, the long wavelength refractive index and the plasma frequency) were calculated. The results showed that the optical properties behavior of the PVC/ZnO nanocomposite films was found to be dependent on the ZnO concentration, and photon wavelength. In addition, the results of the study show that the optical parameters can be influenced by alter the concentration of the nonannealed and annealed a ZnO nanoparticle in the PVC polymer matrix.

Effect of thickness on the optical and electrical properties of gallium arsenide (GaAs) thin films were studied. The films of different thicknesses were prepared by vacuum evaporation method (~10-4 Pa) on glass substrates at a substrate temperature of 323 K. The film thickness was measured in situ by a frequency shift of quartz crystal. The thicknesses were 250, 300 and 500 nm. Absorption spectrum of this thin film had been recorded using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer in the photon wavelength range of 300 - 2500 nm. The values of some important optical parameters of the studied films (absorption coefficient, optical band gap energy and refractive index; extinction co-efficient and real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant) were determined using these spectra. Transmittance peak was observed in the visible region of the solar spectrum. Here transmittance showed better result when thicknesses were being increased. The optical band gap energy was decreased by the increase of thickness. The refractive index increased by increasing thickness while extinction co-efficient and real and imaginary part of dielectric constant decreased.
