Description

In the field of power engineering the problem of replacing traditional high-voltage porcelain and glass insulators by polymer insulators is being investigated. Polymers are desired which are relatively cheap and easy to process by molding. A copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA) filled aluminium hydroxide satisfys the requirements. In order to increase the heat stability of EVA, radiation-chemical technology was used in the present work. A pilot plant with a cobalt 60 radionuclide source was used as the source of ionizing radiation. The process of cross-linking EVA is described
