Abstract

The radiation effects on electrical and mechanical properties of LDPE/EVA blends with various vinyl acetate contents were investigated. Radiation degradation of LDPE/EVA blends were studied by using gelation, volume resistivity, permittivity, dissipation factor, elongation at break, and E-modulus. As vinyl acetate contents increased in LDPE/EVA blends, electrical insulation characteristics were deteriorated, but flexibility was improved. As irradiation doses increased, electrical insulation characteristics were improved, but flexibility was deteriorated.
