The influence of temperature on the AC conductivity of a composite pressboard – synthetic ester – water nanoparticles

This paper presents the results of the AC conductivity of electrical pressboard production company Weidman with a water content from 0,6% to 7% by weight, impregnated with MIDEL 7131 synthetic ester. Frequency and temperature dependencies of the AC conductivity were determined. The Arrhenius plots were developed for the whole range of measurement frequencies, from which the activation energies of the AC conductivity were determined. It was found that changes in AC conductivity can be described by means of two activation energies. Each of these activation energies decreases with the increase of the measurement frequency. This may mean, in our view, that these differences are due to changes the environment occurring water nanoparticles. Some of the nanoparticles be are located in the environment cellulose material, while the other part - in the environment the MIDEL 7131 ester.
