Crosslinked polyethlyene/silane crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE/SXLPE) blends were prepared by a twin screw extruder and their water tree growing electrical breakdown and crossinking characteristics were investigated. The water tree characteristics of XLPE were improved by the addition of SXLPE when samples were crosslinked 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 rate of water tree growing of XLPE/SXLPE blend increased when the content of SXLPE was 50%. AC breadown strength slightly increaed by the addition of SXLPE to XLPE when samples were crosslinked only by the thermorolysis of DCP. It was also found that the degree of crosslinking of XLPE/SXLPE blends were higher than that of XLPE in the case of the content without steam crosslinking process.

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.

The Acoustic Emission due to treeing progress in Crosslinked Polyethylene(XLPE) is studied by using the self developed automatic measuring system of acoustic emission. Tree progression and average pulse amplitude are almost in proportion to the rising of applied voltage but there is no proportionality relation between tree progression and pulse numbers. From now on, Skewness and kurtosis of average cycle, special property of $\phi$-a distribution characteristics can be confirmed as the useful parameters of treeing deterioration.

Space charge distributions and behaviors in silane crosslinked polyethylene(SXLPE)/ crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE) laminates were investigated using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. In case of monolayer, XLPE shows heterocharge while SXLPE shows homocharge. It was observed that charges were accumulated at the interface of SXLPE/XLPE laminate when applied electric field was more than 20kV/mm. The charge profile at various temperatures was also acquired using temperature-controllable PEA system. Although applied electric field is only 8.6 kV.mm, positive interfacial charge starts to appear near 50$^{\circ}C$. It was found that the interfacial charge behavior of SXLPE/XLPE laminate under low voltage at high temperature is corresponding to that under high voltage at room temperature.

In order to investigate the properties of electrical conduction and space charge in crosslinked polyethylene film, we were observed the specimen with 200[${\mu}m$] thickness. The electrical conduction properties of specimen were measured temperature range from 30 to $110[^{\circ}C] $as well as $10^{-2}$ - 1 [MV/cm] of electric field. The investigations on influence of space charge were carried out at room temperature and $60 [^{\circ}C]$.

Electrical properties of Crosslinked polyethylene/silane crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE/SXLPE) blends were studied. Silane coupling agents of various contents were added to blends and their water tree and electrical breakdown characteristics were investigated. The water tree length of XLPE/SXLPE were increased by the addition of silane coupling agents except the case of SXLPE 10 % containing coupling agents of 0.5, 1.0 phr. AC breadown strength slightly increased by the addition of coupling agents to XLPE/SXLPE blends in cases of SXLPE 20 % containing coupling agents of 2.0 phr and SXLPE 50 %. The tendency of effects on water tree and breakdown characteristics was inverse.

Reactive melt processing has been carried out to investigate crosslinking characteristics of high density polyethylene OTDPE) with dicummyl peroxide (DCP) and perbutyle peroxide (PBP). The increase of torque in the internal mixer indicated that the crosslinking in HDPE has been occurred by peroxides. As a result, the substantial decrease of density, melting temperature, and melt enthalpy were found while the melt viscosity increased in partially crosslinked HDPE. In the mechanical properties of partially crosslinked HDPE, the increase of maximum strength and the decrease in elongation at break were clearly noticed and these were more pronounced when PBP was applied as a crosslinking agent. It seems that the maximum strength was obtained with reactive processing temperature at $150^{circ}C$, however, the mixing time did not affect to the strength of partially crosslinked HDPE.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) microspheres (MSs) crosslinked with polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) are prepared using a simple fluidic device (SFD) to investigate the optimized parameters. A solution mixture of PEGDE in 2-methyl-1-propanol was prepared as a continuous phase in SFD. HA solutions of 1 wt% concentration were introduced into SFD as a discontinuous phase. The HA solution prepared by stirring for more than 48 h exhibited spherical MSs at the needle tip inside the ring cap. As the flow rate of the continuous phase increased from 0.7 to 1.9 mL/min, the diameter of the MS decreased from 173±36 ㎛ to 129±13 ㎛. Although the PEGDE concentration in the range of 0.2 to 1.8 vol% did not affect the diameter of the MS, the microstructure of MS, consisting of inner hollow void and wall, was changed. The inner void and wall size decreased and increased from 79.5 ㎛ to 57.2 ㎛ and from 10.3 ㎛ to 21.4 ㎛, respectively, with increasing PEGDE concentration from 0.2 vol% to 1.8 vol%. FT-IR peaks located around 2867 cm^-1 and 1088 cm^-1 indicated that the HA MS prepared at different PEGDE concentrations were chemically crosslinked. The HA MSs containing different PEGDE concentrations exhibited quantitative cell viability of more than 98%. L-929 cells adhered well to the HA MSs and proliferated continuously with increasing culture time to 48 h regardless of PEGDE concentration, implying that the HA MSs are clinically safe and effective.

Ion permeation in polyethylene and ethyene-based copolymers has been investigat-ed Ions permeate faster through non-crosslink-ed films than through crosslinked films. which can be attributed to the decreased chain flexibility and free volume by crosslinking reaction, In EVA/EAA and EVA/ionomer blends, diffusion coefficients of ion decrease with the increase of EAA and ionomer content This was attributed to the increas of acid group acting as ion trapping site in the blends

The properties of polyethylene materials exhibit good insulation and radiation resistance, but exhibit poor flame resistance. Flame retardant properties of the polyethylene were improved by the radiation induced grafting or crosslinking. When the various flame retardants were fixed onto polyethylene, the amount of fixation in grafting was increased with the increase of radiation dosages. In the case of grafting, it is necessary for high grafting yield that the polyethylene films were swelled before irradiation with ${\gamma}$-rays or electron beams. It is the suitable method for the fixation of flame retardant that polyethylene samples were blended with various flame retardants at 1$25^{\circ}C$ and then blended polymers were crosslinked by the electron beams at room temperature.
