An electret is a dielectric material exhibiting a quasi‐permanent electric charge. The aim of this work is to give access to PC electret materials with a distinctly improved electret performance. In this context, the charge storage capabilities of corona charged films of several PC grades were investigated by isothermal potential decay measurements at 90 °C. The most promising PC grade was further improved by a new class of bisimide additives. The best additive at the most efficient concentration in combination with a physical aging step yielded excellent PC electrets maintaining almost their complete applied charge even at 90 °C.
