Dual-Phase Depolarization Analysis

The book describes and explains thermally stimulated current depolarization and thermal sampling. Electrical charges are created in the dielectric material by a voltage field. Analyzing how the current discharges provides insights into the atomic structure of the polymer, its organization and free volume. The book also includes case studies teaching how to apply the characterization techniques to understand the behavior of polymers.
