Effects of cross-linking by-products (residues) of polyethylene on space charge accumulation and decay are investigated in the paper using the pulsed electro-acoustic technique. Space charge profiles have shown a great variation both in the charge initiation over the voltage ramping up process and later on long term stressing and decay (volts off) among the samples subjected to different condit...

Vitrimers are a new class of materials that consist chemically cross-linked networks engage in thermoactivated associative exchange reactions. These reactions can impart malleability, healing, and recyclability properties to thermosets. In this study, one-step protocol prepare linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) vitrimer-like with disulfide bonds via reactive blending is presented. The cros...
