Thermal oxidation of cross-linked PE and EPR used as insulation materials: Multi-scale correlation over a wide range of temperatures

The thermo-oxidation (70–160 °C) of two polymeric materials widely used as electrical insulators in cable systems was studied. The polymers are cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and cross-linked ethylene propylene rubber (XLEPR). Characterisation of the aged materials was performed by using FTIR spec...
