It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDM/XLPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples pasted treated silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDM/XLPE laminate. There were no effects in the laminate sample pasted silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDM/ XLPE laminate sample, space charge was accumulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDX/LPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples which were pasted with silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDE/XLPE laminate and no effects in the laminate sample pasted with silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDhyXLPE laminate sample, space charge was accunlulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

DC breakdown characteristics and formation of space charge at the interfaces of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) /ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) laminates were studied. Effects of silicone grease and some chemicals such as crosslinking coagent on the interfacial charge were also studied. Interfacial charge develops at the interface of XLPE/EPDM laminates, which changes depending on heat treatment conditions and types of chemicals coated at the interface. Some chemicals such as maleic anhydride reduce the accumulation of interfacial charge in the XLPE/EPDM laminates. Breakdown strength of EPDM/XLPE laminate through the interface was highest when silicone oil was pasted in the interfaces. Interfacial breakdown strength decreased with the increase of MAH content.

The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effects of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/carbon black composite materials were investigated by enhancing adhesive characteristics of electrodes and controlling HDPE chemical crosslinking. When the silver paste was used as an electrode for the same 45 wt% HDPE/carbon composites, the resistance was over 1 $\Omega$, which should be compared with the resistance of 0.2 $\Omega$ for the dendritic copper electrode. In general, the silver-paste electrode exhibited higher electrical resistance than cupper electrode due to the interfacial resistance between the electrode and PTC composites. The HDPE/carbon composite exhibited typical PTC characteristics maintaining a constant resistance up to vicat point and showing a maximum at the melting point of HDPE. The crosslinked HDPE significantly decreased the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) phenomena, and desirably showed a constant or slightly increasing feature of electrical resistance in the high temperature region.

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) was prepared by semi-batch emulsion polymerization of acryl monomers in the presence of reactive and non-reactive carboxylated polyurethane resin (PUR). Effects of the PUR type, its content, and crosslinker feeding method on the adhesive properties of the PSA was investigated. In this experiment, the PSA prepared with the reactive PUR showed better adhesive property then the PSA with the non-reactive PUR. Especially, peel strength of the PSA, where acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate and 1,6-hexane diamine as crosslinkers were introduced, was dramatically enhanced in severe humidity condition due to the interfacial crosslinking.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the breakdown properties in joint interface of power cables with heat treatment. The specimens have the structure of XLPE/EPDM interface like the joint of distribution power cable. The breakdown characteristics of the SLPE/EPDM joint were studied with crosslinking by=products. AC breakdown voltages were measured with heat treatment time and interfacial materials and crosslinking by-products as testing factors. This study has shown that crosslinking by-product gases play an important role at the insulation properties of cable joints by heating. The dielectric strength shows the lowest values at 4 hours heat treatment. The AC breakdown strength in the untreated sample was increased with heat treatment time.

It was investigated that the effect of surface modification and concentration of fumed silica on the adhesion properties and thermal stability of 2-EHA/AA pressure sensitive adhesive (PSAs) prepared by UV irradiation. The influence of repeating units of crosslinking agent on PSAs were also studied. From SEM analysis, PSAs synthesized with surface modified silica had finer dispersion of silica particles in polymer matrix due to the interfacial interaction. Results of the study showed that increase in tack and peel strength when under 0.3 wt% of silane treated silica were added in the reaction mixture. The addition of PEGDMA for crosslinking agent offers positive effect on adhesion properties in comparison with PSAs using EGDMA for crosslinker, which may be attributed to high mobility of ethylene oxide repeating units in PEGDMA. From the thermal degradation residue of PSAs, it was revealed that thermal stability was improved with silica addition due to the strong interfacial bonding between silane modified silica and polymer matrix, which may act as a thermal barriers into 2-EHA/AA PSAs.

The main faults at cable joint are mainly originate from double layered structure, which is composed of different kinds of materials such as XLPE/EPDM laminatest. In this paper, to investigate the effect of interfacial condition and coagents on dielectric strength of XLPE/EPDM, we prepared XLPE/grease/EPDM, XLPE/grease + coagent/EPDM laminates. Dielectric strength of the XLPE/EPDM laminates pasted with the grease compounded crosslinking coagent (TMPTA, TMPTMA) is higher than that of the laminates paseted with the grease without coagent.

The physical properties of rubber blend between natural rubber(NR) and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer(EPDM) were investigated as a study of EPDM composite materials. For EPDM/NR blends, the effects of ethylene and diene contents in EPDM, blend ratio, dicumyl peroxide(DCP) curing system on the physical properties, interfacial adhesion force and dynamic crack growth etc. were studied. EPDM/NR blends loaded with carbon black were prepared by mechanical mixing and cured by plate heating cure press. Crosslinking density was measured by swelling method with toluene. The physical properties of all blends were measured with Instron, fatigue to failure(FTF), Demattia flex cracking tester(DMFC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), etc. As the ethylene and diene contents in EPDM increased, the physical properties, such as dynamic crack growth, adhesion to other component were increased too. Interfacial adhesion force of EPDM/NR blends to dissimilar layer was improved by the use of optimum peroxide curing system.

The effects of reactant composition on the particle size distribution, synthetic yield, and density of Phenol-formaldehyde bead were examined in the synthesis of resol-type phenolic resin. Decrease of the content of DI water as dispersion media can increase the viscosity of suspension, which may cause the difference of particle size distribution and aggregation. The average particle size of synthesized beads was also decreased with the increasing content of stabilizer which can affect the interfacial area. The amount of crosslinking agent showed no effect on the size distribution and synthetic yield, but it made a decrease in the density of synthesized bead due to the macropore in the bead.
