New mathematical models for predicting the lifetime of EPDM insulators: Effect of elongation at break on the kinetic degradation of EPDM insulators subjected to thermo-oxidation
Abstract:Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is an important polymer extensively exploited in plasturgy. However, relatively few studies have been carried out to predict the lifetime of EPDM in different climatic conditions particularly, thermo-oxidation. Based on this realization, the aim of the present work was to develop mathematical models for predicting the lifetime of EPDM elastomers, used for insulation of electric cables. The kinetic degradation of EPDM insulators, by monitoring change in a physical propert… Show more
