Dielectric properties and electric breakdown strength of a subpercolative composite of carbon black in thermoplastic copolymer

We investigate the dielectric properties and electric breakdown strength of subpercolative composites of conductive carbon black particles in a rubber insulating matrix. A significant increase in the permittivity in the vicinity of the insulator to conductor transition was observed, with relatively low increases in dielectric loss; however, a rapid decrease in electric breakdown strength was inevitable. A steplike feature was ascribed to agglomeration effects. The low ultimate values of the electric field strength of such composites appear to prohibit practical use.
