Electroluminescence of ultraviolet and thermally aged low density polyethylene
It has been postulated that long term ageing of lowdensity polyethylene (LDPE) is due to the movement of space charge within the dielectric. Electroluminescence (EL) has been shown as an alternative method to investigate charge movement within a dielectric. Under ac fields, EL is related to the inje...
