Effect of polarization on dielectric behaviour of PET/0.8PHB polymer liquid crystals

Dielectric constant and loss behaviour of pristine and polarized samples of Poly (p-hydroxybenzoic acid-co-ethylene terephthalate) polymer liquid crystals were studied at continuous temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 250 °C, polarized at potentials 500V and 2000V with high precision d.c. power supply. Dielectric constant appears to be almost linearly dependent in the lower temperature region and is independent in the higher temperature region. Dielectric loss becomes approximately ten times lower at higher temperatures.
