Abstract :
In conclusion, we have proposed a new strategy for improving performance of polymer electrets using aminosilane based nano clusters. By adding animosilane into CYTOP electrets, nano clusters of about 20 nm are formed in the film. It is clearly shown that the nano clusters are critically important to obtain higher surface charge density and better thermal stability of electrets.
