Description

Bulk resistivity of electrode materials is very important for the performance of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs). Surface resistivity of the electrode plate also play crucial role to reduce the micro discharge inside the RPC. Detailed studies have been made on both the bulk resistivity and surface resistivity of carbon-loaded Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material commonly known as Teflon. Both the resistivities of the sample are measured via the measurement of leakage current. The experimental setup along with the detailed results will be presented.
