✦ Synopsis
The effect of antioxidant on the reaction mechanism of chemical crosslinking of polyethylene (PE) with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) at high temperatures was investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR). The antioxidant reacts with the alkyl radicals in PE formed by the thermal decomposition of DCP above 120ЊC, and disturbs the crosslinking. A phenolic type antioxidant produced the phenoxy radical by the reaction with alkyl radicals formed in PE. It is suggested that the selection of a suitable antioxidant for PE crosslinking can be made by ESR analysis.
