UV-Initiated Crosslinking Reaction Mechanism and Electrical Breakdown Performance of Crosslinked Polyethylene

The ultraviolet (UV) irradiation crosslinking reactions of polyethylene and the electronic properties of photo-initiators and reaction products are theoretically investigated by the first-principles calculations. The crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) materials are prepared in experiments that employ t...
