There is a danger in using a
19、 wide strip, if the strip is slightly twisted and at the same time somewhat non-uniform in its resistivity. It is then possible to obtain erroneous results; the potential electrode nearer to the positive current electrode may even be found to be negative with respect to the other potential electrode
20、. Effect of temperature changes and strain on conductive plastics As mentioned above, the resistance of these materials is sensi- tive to their temperature-history and strain-history. The rela- tionships are complex and arise from the kinetic energy and structural configuration of the carbon particl
21、es in the polymer. The resistivity may be increased by the effects of strain pro- duced by (or subsequent to) removal from the mould, and a treatment is described for reducing specimens to a constant strain and temperature condition before measurements are car- ried out on them. Specimens are also c
22、ut in two perpendicular directions to assess anisotropy. Electrode systems (see 3.3) Certain types of electrode, when applied to these polymers, have a contact resistance which may be many thousand times greater than the intrinsic resistance of the specimen. Dry con- tacts under light pressure or po
23、int contacts give very high resistances. However, the present test method eliminates the ffects of contact resistances unless these are excessively high. I In such a case, no result, rather than a wrong one, is generally obtained. i 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specif
24、ies the requirements for the laboratory testing of the resistivity of specially prapared specimens of plastics rendered conductive by the inclusion of carbon black. The test is suitable for materials of resistivity less than 10s Qacm (1W Cbmi. The result is not strictly a volume resistivity, because
25、 of surface conduction, but the effects of the latter are generally negligible. The principie of the four-terminal method of test is mandatory and the recommended specimen size and electrode design must be adhered to for reference purposes, but it may sometimes be necessary to test a wider strip wit
26、h electrodes of a different construction. 2 Principle A stable d.c. current of magnitude (fi is passed between elec- trodes at the two ends of a strip of the material under test. The voltage drop (AU) between two potential electrodes is measured with an electrometer. The resistance of the portion of
27、 the strip between the potential electrodes is given by R = AUII, and is independent of contact resistances. Thus the resistivity may be calculated. 3 circuit1 Apparatus (see figure 1 for schematic diagram of test 3.1 Current source : a source of direct current which has a minimum resistance to eart

33、cimen The specimen shall be a strip 10 rnm wide and 70 to 150 mm long and shall normally be 3 to 4 mm thick with a tolerance on uniformity of thickness of $r 5 %. Thicker or thinner speci- mens may be cut from sheets or products. Care shall be taken to avoid bending or stretching the sheets or speci
34、mens, espe- cially when they are thinner than standard. The specimen may be cut with a knife or razor blade, but care must be taken to minimize distortion as this will affect the resis- tance values. The surfaces of the specimen shall be clean; if necessary, they may be cleaned by rubbing with fulle
35、rs earth (hydrated magnesium-aluminium silicate) and water, rinsing with distilled water and allowing to dry.1) The surfaces shall neither be buffed nor abraded, nor shall they be cleaned with organic materials that attack or swell the materiat. 5 Number of specimens From each of two perpendicular d
36、irections, three specimens of equal size shall be prepared and tested. The two directions should, where possible, be chosen to be along and across any direction of flow during processing. 6 Procedure 6.1 After preparation, allow the specimen to remain at room temperature and ambient humidity conditi
37、ons for at least 16 h. 6.2 Prior to the commencement of the test, connect the cur- rent electrodes (3.3.11 to the ends of the specimen, either by using the clamps or grips, or by covering the same area with conductive paint. 6.3 The required conditioning of the specimen should be described in the ma
38、terial specification. If this is not the case, the following procedure will probably be useful in most cases : Immediately after applying the current electrodes, place the specimen on the sheet of highly insulating material (3.5) and heat in the oven (3.6) for 2 h at a temperature of 70 f 2 OC to re
39、move strains and irregularities caused by previous treatment. Cool for at least 1 h and test at 23 i 2 OC and 50 f 5 % relative humidity without disturbing the specimen. The specimen shall always be tested on the sheet of insulating material. With some materials, distortion may occur at 70 OC and he
40、ating for 5 h at 60 * 2 OC may then be preferable. 6.4 Piace the potentiometric electrode system (3.3.2) on the specimen, ensuring that the knife-edge contacts are at right angles to the direction of current flow and that neither potentiometric electrode is within 20 mm of a current elec- trode. App
41、ly the current and measure the voltage drop be- tween the potentiometric electrodes using the electro- meter (3.41. Repeat the measuring procedure mice more on the same mi- men, moving the potentiometric electrodes each time to obtain measurements over lengths of specimen evenly distributed between
42、the current electrodes. 6.5 Test the other five specimens similarly. 7 Expression of results 7.1 Calculate the resistance R, in ohms, corresponding to each position of the potentiometric electrodes, using the for- mula AU I R =- where AV is the voltage drop, in volts, between the potentio- metric el
