ABSTRACT This study explores the behavior of polypropylene/polybutylene succinate (PP*/PBS) polymer blend and its nanocomposites containing varying amounts organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) (Cloisite20: C20) (1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10%) when subjected to electron beam irradiation in a scanning microscope (SEM). More specifically, we have studied electrical properties nanocomposites, particular trapping transport electrons material, as well emission electrons. To examine storage spreading injected charge under irradiation, used time‐resolved current analysis method by measuring induced currents (displacement leakage currents). In order verify whether there is link between dispersion nanoclay particles matrix, structural analyses were also carried out x‐ray diffraction (XRD). The results revealed significant increase equilibrium trapped amount clay nanoparticles introduced into matrix increased. trend can be attributed both an number involved traps presence interfaces that act defect sites. was checked determining energy distribution using Simmons' approach. Correlating measured displacement allowed us demonstrate leads decrease efficiency.
