The paper evaluated the water tree resistance of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) by using an elastomer modified with polar molecules. Samples containing maleic anhydride grafted poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS-g-Ma) have been prepared by melt compounding and subsequent compression molding, respectively. Accelerated water tree aging of the samples was carried out under the combined...
Premature failure of XLPE cables can occur due to water trees increased the susceptibility of polyethylene insulation to breakdown, and extensive studies have been made to improve the resistance of polyethylene to water treeing in the past. In this study, we investigated the influence of the incorporation of silica nanoparticles and the surface modification of silica nanoparticles on the water treeing...
We investigated the effect of an aromatic polymer, styrene-(co-ethylene-butadiene)-styrene (SEBS), on water tree resistance of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). The XLPE/SEBS samples were characterized by means of gel content determination, different scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the accelerated water treeing experiment. Our results clearly indicated that the samples...
