The ethyl cellulose samples of thickness 30 μm were prepared using solution grown method. The samples were polarized by means of thermal polarization for preparation of thermoelectret. The charge storage stability and the transport of detrapped charges in the EC thermoelectre were investigated by surface potential decay and open-circuit thermally stimulated discharge current (TSDC) analysis. The mean penetration depth for EC at different environment humidity and polarizing temperature were calculated. The results indicated that the charge stability of EC was significantly affected by relative humidity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
