| dc.description.abstract | the experiments described in this work are divided into two main
parts. the first is concerned with electrical properties of a
single filament of nylon held between two tungsten hook-electrodes.
currents were observed in atmospheres of different relative humidities and attempts were made to determine the voltage distribution
along the filament. the voltage measurements were made using
a high-impedence electrostatic null detector with a potentiometer
system for balancing. the results were not highly reproducible
and no definite conclusions could be made.
the second part deals with currents through capacitor tissue in a
metal- insulation- metal sandwich arrangement. a time-dependent
polarization was observed and is discussed along with methods for
determining an acceptable value for the steady-state current. some
attempts are made to apply poole-frenkel theory since there is a
certain quantitative agreement with experiment. current-temperature
observations indicated that the activation energy is about 1 ev.
conclusions concerning the mechanism of conduction are suggested on
the basis of available theory. | |
