Influence of Branching Density in Ethylene-Octene Copolymers on Electron Beam Crosslinkability

Two ethylene-octene copolymers (EOC) with the same melt flow index (MFI = 3 g/10 min) but different octene contents, being 20 and 35 wt % (EOC-20 and EOC-35), were compared with regard to sensitivity to electron beam crosslinking. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed a large influence of the o...
