The synthesis of poly (chlorotrifluoroethylene) [PCTFE] and its electrical
measurements are reported here; A linear increase in current with voltage u
p to 400 V, and an exponential increase thereafter, is observed at all the
studied temperatures. This is an indication of the Schottky or Poole Franke
l conduction mechanisms to be operative. The variation of dielectric consta
nt and dielectric loss with frequency at the studied temperatures suggests
the contribution of electronic and ionic polarization to this effect.
