Research of kinetics of peroxide cross-linking of polyethylene on the rotational viscometer

Abstract

The kinetics of peroxide cross-linking of polyethylene on change of torque moment in the oscillating - mode on the rotational viscometer is studied. The possibility of evaluation cross-linking kinetics in torque sizes is shown. Nomograms of achievement of complete cross-linking in various temperature and time are constructed. Emergence of process of destruction at long high-temperature influence is find out. Researches are executed in a temperature interval 165-215 ⁰С.
