Abstract
The photoelectret effect in composite heterostructures consisting of polar (fluorinecontaining) and non-polar (polyolefins) polymers - high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), F42, F2-ME and the inorganic phase AııBvı (CdS, ZnS) has been studied. It has been established that the difference in photoelectret potentials in a given volume share of the inorganic phase mainly depends on the polarity of the polymer matrix. A possible mechanism of the photoelectret effect formed under the combined action of a strong electric field and light in these composites. It has been experimentally established that the potential barrier formed at the polymer- AııBvı semiconductor interface separates the electric charge carriers formed as a result of the internal photoelectric effect and ensures the formation of an electret potential difference. The electret charge state of polymer- AııBvı composites was studied using the spectrum of thermally stimulated current.
