Abstract

Crosslinked polyethylene/silane crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE/SXLPE) blends were prepared by a twin screw extruder and their water tree and crosslinking characteristics were investigated. The water tree characteristics of XLPE were improved by the addition of SXLPE, when samples were cross- linked only by the thermorolysis of DCP (dicumyl peroxide). However, steam curing process was not good for water tree characteristics. It was also found that the degree of crosslinking of XLPE/SXLPE blends were higher than that of XLPE.
