Composite polyethylene with diatomite as a promising material for active package

In this work, the electret properties of composite polyethylene with diatomite were studied by taking the spectra of thermally stimulated depolarization currents and their analysis based on the Eyring equation of activated states. Based on the experimental data obtained, electrically active defects’ activation energy and electret state's relaxation time were calculated. During the work, a significant improvement in the electret state stability was found when 6% diatomite was added to the composition of high-pressure polyethylene films.
