Charge trapping and detrapping in polymeric materials: Trapping parameters [PDF]
Space charge formation in polymeric materials can cause some serious concern for design engineers as the electric field may severely be distorted, leading to part of the material being overstressed.

Wheat gluten/LDPE based thermoplastic vulcanizates containing LDPE-g-MA as compatibilizer
Abstract Traditionally, thermosetting wheat gluten based rubbers are produced from a glycerol plasticized gluten rubber precursor which spontaneously crosslinks during high temperature molding. We prepared thermoplastic elastomers by extruding the gluten rubber precursor at high temperature in presence of low density polyethylene (LDPE) to which ...

Frequency Dependence of Electroluminescence Measurement in LDPE [PDF]
A good insulator for high voltage cable has low dielectric loss, reasonable flexibility and thermo-mechanically stable. However, prolonged application of electrical stresses on the cable will degraded the cable; physically and morphologically.

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and
