Abstract:

The final thermally stimulated discharge current method allows a better selection of the experimental conditions for sample polarization. By decreasing the ratio between the charging time and the discharging time, the apparent peak is of the same order of magnitude as the genuine peaks and there is only a partial overlap between then. Two peaks have been identified for polyamide 11, one associated with the glass transition around 60 °C and the second associated with the Curie transition around 96 °C.
