Abstract
, on the spatial scale of the dielectric breakdown. The elemental composition of the soot is unique for each polymer. Polypropylene undergoes the most efficient self-healing thanks to containing a large molar fraction of hydrogen atoms. The results are addressed to the experts in electrical engineering and polymer fine-tuning.
