Abstract

EVAOH (ethylene-vinyl acetate-vinyl alchol terpolymers) were prepared by using the transesterification reaction between ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and alchol. Structural and thermal analyses were accomplished with FTIR and DSC. XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) and EVAOH were blended using a two-roll mill and their water tree and dielectric loss characteristics were investigated. It is found that the water tree characteristics of XLPE were improved by the addition of EVAOH. It was also found that the extent of improvement of water tree and dielectric loss characteristics of XLPE/EVAOH blends depends on the kind and concentration of EVAOH.
