ePFTE/FEP film interfaces and cannot leave the ePFTE film. The buildup of oppositely<br />
charged surfaces results in a polarization field compensating for the electric field induced<br />
by the corona charging. Once the internal electric field falls below the threshold field for<br />
electrical breakdown, further electrical breakdown is inhibited and the light intensity as well<br />
as the charging current diminished to zero. The macroscopic dipole formation accounts<br />
also for the drastic difference in piezoactivity between the single porous films and<br />
sandwiched structures. Opposite to the low piezoactivity of the single ePTFE film<br />
(20 pC/N), the three-layer sandwich reveals a large quasi-static piezoelectric d33 coefficient<br />
up to 800 pC/N [5].<br />
In summary, it has been shown that the monitoring of light emission during poling of<br />
porous electrets give an important additional information on the charging mechanism. The<br />
emitted light itself is a direct proof of breakdown in the porous material, which was indeed<br />
observed for the single as well as the sandwiched porous structures. The good agreement<br />
of the poling current and the light intensity progression in time disclose basic features of<br />
the charge separation process in ePTFE layers.<br />
