Abstract:
LDPE was crosslinked with novel dynamic or conventional crosslinking agents during melt processing. Both crosslinkers were synthesized by the esterification of Thiele’s acid or adipic acid with 4-hydroxy-TEMPO. 1H-NMR showed that a temperature of 170 °C and a reaction time of 24 min are required for a successful crosslinking. The concentrations of crosslinking agents were 1.45, 2.9, and 5.8 mol%. Conventionally crosslinked LDPEs show a decrease in soluble content in hot xylene with increased crosslinker concentrations, while dynamically crosslinked LDPEs show no change after thermal treatment,

In this article, polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers were prepared and added to low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to produce PANI nanofibers/LDPE composites. LDPE and the composites were tested for direct current (DC) conductivity, breakdown strength, and space charge characteristics. The results suggested that DC breakdown strength of PANI nanofibers/LDPE composites significantly declined once PANI was added, and the decline was more evident with the increase of PANI nanofibers. Meanwhile, the addition of PANI nanofibers contributed to a decrease in the conductivity of LDPE. As the content of PANI na

The LDPE/NR/WHF composites with different fiber loading were prepared by using Brabender mixer at 180 °C with the rotor speed of 50 rpm. The results showed that dynamic vulcanized LDPE/NR/WHF composites gave a higher tensile strength, Young’s modulus, elongation at break but lower molar sorption than unvulcanized LDP

A substantial diameter reduction with improved crystallinity of LDPE fiber was observed with increased PVB content in the blend. PVB inclusion also increased the polarity of the LDPE/PVB blend, resulting in better spinnability. The removal of PVB from LDPE/PVB blend fiber

This is due to the poorer effect of Cu2O in inducing the polymeric free radicals.
