Abstract

When semicrystalline polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene crystallize, they form spherulites and transcrystals. The spherulites grow from nuclei in the bulk and the transcrystals grow from the interface of two different materials during the crystallization of polymers. Spherulites and transcrystals are formed in polymers used as insulation materials; however, the deterioration mechanism of the electrical properties of these materials has not been established.<br>To study the relationship between the superstructure of semicrystalline polymers and their dielectric breakdown strength, we observed the structures of spherulites and transcrystals using a polarizing microscope, and at the same time compared the dielectric breakdown strengths.<br>The results indicate that the dielectric breakdown of transcrystals occurs at a higher field strength thanthat of spherulites for ac as well as dc voltages.
