Abstract
Electrical conduction in LDPE films was studied with temperature and e lectrical field between 20 degrees C to 80 degrees and 6 to 30 MV/m re spectively. An anomalous behaviour was observed in transient discharge current after a direct electrical field application. These anomalous currents were attributed to the space charge in the polymer.
