β¦ Synopsis
The effect of antioxidant on the reaction mechanism of chemical crosslinking of polyethylene with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) at high temperatures was investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR). The crosslinking reactions were induced by the alkyl radicals in polyethylene (PE) formed by the thermal decomposition of DCP above 120Β°C. The type and the content of radicals were much changed for amine type antioxidants on PE crosslinking. It was confirmed that the radicals originated from DCP decomposition reacted preferentially with the amine type antioxidants to produce the nitroxyl radical and that the antioxidants retarded the initiation reaction of the PE crosslinking reaction.

We studied the chemical reaction process of polypropylene (PP), ethylenepropylene copolymer (EPM), and ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (EPDM) crosslinking induced by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) using electron spin resonance (ESR). Free radicals appeared at an elevated temperature of around 120 Β°C and
