Abstract:Polymers play a very important role in electrical systems as insulation materials. The microscopic failures occurring in the polymer under working conditions will be important in its required characteristics. In this work we focused on the effects of accelerated aging on the electrical properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and crosslinked polyethylene (XLDPE). The samples of LDPE were prepared in sheet form with the thickness of 0.6 AE 0.1 mm and were irradiated under the 10 MeV electron beam of a Rhod… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
