Abstract

This paper presents the effect of deep chemical impurities on the conductivity of insulating polymers. Although plenty of literature available to give conductivity model for insulating polymers but still there is a need of more accurate model. The authors try to propose a new theoretical model for mobility of electrons in order to understand the behaviour of electron towards deep chemical impurities at atomic level using quantum mechanical approach. Our model shows that chemical impurity plays an important role on conductivity of polyethylene.
