Thermal, mechanical and ionic conductive behaviour of gamma-radiation induced PEO/PVDF(SIN)-LiClO4 polymer electrolyte system

Silane Crosslinked Polyethylene from Different Commercial PE’s: Influence of Comonomer, Catalyst Type and Evaluation of HLPB as Crosslinking Coagent

“…As the degree of crosslink increases, segmental motion is progressively restricted until in, for example, phenolic, amino or epoxy resins, only infusible, rigid, amorphous state exists [1][2][3] . Polyethylene crosslinking may be induced through three different methods: radiation, peroxide and silane [4][5][6][7][8] . In peroxide crosslinking, organic peroxide and polyethylene are blended during extrusion process and free radicals are formed, crosslinking the polymer chain to produce a network during thermal decomposition 9 .…”

Variation in viscosity and ion conductivity of a polymer-salt complex exposed to gamma irradiation

“…A large number of reports on irradiation effects in polymers and particularly solid polymer electrolytes have appeared [3,[18][19][20][21]. Ferloni et al [19] have irradiated aqueous solutions of PEO 20 -LiClO 4 .…”

“…Singh et al [17] found a large enhancement in σ on electron beam irradiation of low molecular weight PEG(x)-LiClO 4 , which they attributed to chain scission and reduction in crystallinity. Song et al [18] considered cross-linking to be responsible for large enhancement in σ for PEG(x)-LiClO 4 . So there are issues not yet resolved.…”

PEX Synthesized via Peroxide for Oil Pipes, Starting from Different Commercial Polyethylenes: Influence of Comonomer and Catalyst Type

“…Through the gel content, the degree of crosslinking of a polymer can be estimated. [8] The pressed specimens were weighed (initial mass) and placed in an extractor. The extraction process was carried out using 100 ml of xylene at reflux for 8 hours.…”
