Abstract
In paper containing multilayer composite structures and laminates, polarization is usually investigated under dry environmental conditions. The aim of this research is to determine polarization dependence of paper and paper-dielectric structures on environmental relative humidity (RH). The role of each component was identified. The obtained and recorded data are used for identification and clarification of the physical mechanism of polarization. The polarization was studied by applying a dosed charging and forced discharge method and was evaluated by a depolarization potential and its formation kinetics. The polarization level of investigated structures increases with RH and is determined mainly by the paper (cellulose) and moisture content in it. In composite structures of the paper between dielectric films and dielectric on paper the polarization dependence on RH correlates with moisture absorption isotherm. It was found that the surface electrical conductivity of paper distorts the results of the paper and structure paper on dielectric. Analysis of the formation kinetics of the depolarization potential together with the potential decay of the charged paper has determined the role of orientation polarization and space charges. The formation of space charges is faster than orientation polarization and dominates in polarization process at higher RH. The process modeling by superposition of two exponents confirms this polarization mechanism.
