Electrical Application Of Polystyrene

Facile Approach for Superparamagnetic CNT-Fe3O4/Polystyrene Tricomponent Nanocomposite via Synergetic Dispersion

“…The surface resistance (ρ s ) and volume resistance (ρ v ) of the two tricomponent nanocomposites are summarized in Table . Compared with those of pure PS of about 10 Ω/γ and 10 Ω·cm, the two tricomponent nanocomposites decreased by about 6 orders of magnitude with less than 0.50 wt % content of CNT-COOH. Both of them exhibited semiconductive characteristics.…”

“…23 The surface resistance (ρ s ) and volume resistance (ρ v ) of the two tricomponent nanocomposites are summarized in Table 2. Compared with those of pure PS of about 10 16 Ω/γ and 10 17 Ω•cm, 31 the two tricomponent nanocomposites decreased by about 6 orders of magnitude with less than 0.50 .3% and 3.2% at 350 °C, respectively. The weight losses were higher than that of the pure PS of 2.6% at the same temperature range due to decomposition of OA.…”

Polystyrene plastics as high frequency dielectrics

“…THE extensive literature to date on styrene and its polymerization products is predominantly concerned with the kinetics of the polymerization reaction and with the structure and mechanical properties of the polymers. Their desirable electrical properties (6) were a more or less accidental by-product until war requirements placed new emphasis upon the fabrication of low loss materials. Polystyrene immediately gained an outstanding position in the high frequency field, but it became apparent that the conditions for producing material of the best electrical quality were not known.…”
