Electrical properties dielectric losses

Electrical properties — dielectric constant (e), representing polarization dissipation factor (tan 8), representing relaxation phenomena dielectric strength (EB), representing breakdown phenomena and resistivity (pv), an inverse of conductivity — are compared with other polymers in Table 5.14.74 The low dielectric loss and high electrical resistivity coupled with low water absorption and retention of these properties in harsh environments are major advantages of fluorosilicone elastomers over other polymeric materials.74...

The changes in mechanical properties caused by absorption are more or less reversible on drying out after short periods of contact with the environment, but more prolonged immersion tends to make full recovery of initial properties much more difficult. The mechanical property changes are accompanied by corresponding alterations to electrical conductivity, dielectric loss and other physical properties.

Diffusion is the underlying basis of mass transfer properties such as permeation, electrical conduction, dielectric loss, viscosity, and chemical durability. 

Electrica.1 Properties. The bulk electrical properties of the parylenes make them excellent candidates for use in electronic constmction. The dielectric constants and dielectric losses are low and unaffected by absorption of atmospheric water. The dielectric strength is quoted for specimens of 25 p.m thickness because substantially thicker specimens cannot be prepared by VDP. If the value appears to be high in comparison with other materials, however, it should be noted that the usual thickness for such a measurement is 3.18 mm. Dielectric strength declines with the square root of increasing... 

Electrical. Glasses are used in the electrical and electronic industries as insulators, lamp envelopes, cathode ray tubes, and encapsulators and protectors for microcircuit components, etc. Besides their abiUty to seal to metals and other glasses and to hold a vacuum and resist chemical attack, their electrical properties can be tailored to meet a wide range of needs. Generally, a glass has a high electrical resistivity, a high resistance to dielectric breakdown, and a low power factor and dielectric loss. 

Grade XXXPC is similar in electrical properties to Grade XXXP and suitable for punching at lower temperatures than Grade XXXP. This grade is recommended for apphcations requiring high insulation resistance and low dielectric losses under severe humidity conditions. 

Grade G-10, glass fabric with epoxy resin binder, has extremely high mechanical strength (flexural, impact, and bonding) at room temperature and good dielectric loss and electric strength properties under both dry and humid conditions. 

Electrical Properties. AH polyolefins have low dielectric constants and can be used as insulators in particular, PMP has the lowest dielectric constant among all synthetic resins. As a result, PMP has excellent dielectric properties and alow dielectric loss factor, surpassing those of other polyolefin resins and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon). These properties remain nearly constant over a wide temperature range. The dielectric characteristics of poly(vinylcyclohexane) are especially attractive its dielectric loss remains constant between —180 and 160°C, which makes it a prospective high frequency dielectric material of high thermal stabiUty. 

Commonly used materials for cable insulation are poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) compounds, polyamides, polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyurethanes, and fluoropolymers. PVC compounds possess high dielectric and mechanical strength, flexibiUty, and resistance to flame, water, and abrasion. Polyethylene and polypropylene are used for high speed appHcations that require a low dielectric constant and low loss tangent. At low temperatures, these materials are stiff but bendable without breaking. They are also resistant to moisture, chemical attack, heat, and abrasion. Table 14 gives the mechanical and electrical properties of materials used for cable insulation. 

The moisture content of a plastic affects such conditions as electrical insulation resistance, dielectric losses, mechanical properties, dimensions, and appearances. The effect on the properties due to moisture content depends largely on the type of exposure (by immersion in water or by exposure to high humidity), the shape of the product, and the inherent behavior properties of the plastic material. The ultimate proof for tolerance of moisture in a product has to be a product test under extreme conditions of usage in which critical dimensions and needed properties are verified. Plastics with very low water-moisture absorption rates tend to have better dimensional stability. 

Polysiloxanes, also called silicones, are characterized by combinations of chemical, mechanical, and electrical properties which taken together are not common to any other commercially available class of polymers. They exhibit relatively high thermal and oxidative stability, low power loss, high dielectric strength, and unique rheological properties, and are relatively inert to most of the ionic reagents. Almost all of the commercially utilized siloxanes are based on polydimethylsiloxane with trimethylsiloxy end groups. They have the widest use... 

Some important dielectric behavior properties are dielectric loss, loss factor, dielectric constant, direct current (DC) conductivity, alternating current (AC) conductivity, and electric breakdown strength. The term dielectric behavior usually refers to the variation of these properties as a function of frequency, composition, voltage, pressure, and temperature.
