Anomalous metal-polymer interface dependence of dielectric breakdown in polyvinylidene fluoride

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

DC breakdown of polyvinylidene fluoride films was studied. It was found that the interface between the metal electrode and the polymer film is very important in determining the breakdown voltage. When the positive electrode was blocked by inserting a thin layer of insulating polymer between the polyvinylidene fluoride film and the metal electrode, the breakdown voltage decreased drastically. The breakdown behavior was also studied as a function of the thickness of polymers used to block the electrode.
