Summary on Grant Application Form
Correlate ion and water transport in PE with changes in structure, dielectric changes and tree growth. Relate these to theoretical considerations of the interaction between ions, water molecules and polymer chains. Advance the scientific background necessary to understand control and detect water treeing in electrical power cable insulation.
