Abstract
We have obtained polymeric membranes based on silicone rubber, stearic acid, silicone oil at various concentrations of catalyst. The obtained polymeric membranes are used as dielectric materials for fabricating plane capacitors. By using the plane capacitor method, we measure capacitance C and dissipation factor D of the plane capacitors in an electric field of medium frequency. From the obtained data we calculate the dispersion and absorption characteristics of the membranes. We show that these characteristics are sensibly influenced by dimensions of the crystallites which in turn, depend on the concentration of catalyst used at polymerization of silicone rubber.
