Highly Ductile Polypropylene Based Ternary Blends for High Voltage Insulation
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 22, June 10, 2025.Rapidly cooled ternary blends of isotactic polypropylene (PP), low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), and a polystyrene‐b‐(ethylene‐co‐butylene)‐b‐polystyrene (SEBS) elastomer are found to be highly ductile, with an elongation at break of more than 500%.

Lightning Protection for farms
, 1995 Lightning, one of natures most powerful forces, can cause a great deal of damage, particularly in a farm environment. A lightning strike can start fires in buildings, damage electrical equipment, and electrocute humans and livestock.
