2. 1. ALTERNATIVE POLYETHYLENE CROSSLINKING CONCEPTS FOR POWER CABLE INSULATION

   Author : Massimiliano Mauri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; epoxy; crosslinking; HVDC; polymer blends; click-chemistry; polyethylene; Renewable Energy; High-voltage insulation;

   Abstract : We currently witness an accelerating shift from fossil energy sources to renewables driven by the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. Wind, solar and hydro power is most abundant in places far away from the end user, which necessitates the efficient transport of electricity over long distances. READ MORE

4. 2. Chemical modification of cellulose-new possibilities of some classical routes

   Author : Merima Hasani; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cellulose esters; Cellulose characterization; Cellulose ethers; Cationization; Cellulose nanocrystals; Crosslinking of cellulose;

   Abstract : Owning to its unique structure, along with the inexhaustible renewability, cellulose has been a subject of scientific and commercial interest for over 150 years. However, given attractive structural properties, such as stiffness, hydrophilicity, stereoregularity, potential for chemical modifications and ability to form superstructures, utilization of this biopolymer is far below its potential.

5. 3. Chemical Pathways for Galactoglucomannan-based Materials

   Author : Jens Voepel; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Ulrica Edlund; Søren Hvilsted; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polysaccharides; hemicelluloses; galactoglucomannan; renewable; chemical modification; hydrogels; swelling; crosslinking; release; SET-LRP; living polymerization; grafting; hybrid materials; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : Polysaccharides are an important resource for a variety of products, from food via fuel supply to functional materials of every kind. Due to their natural diversity they can be found in many special applications, e.g. in the biomedical sector and are the major renewable resource for materials of many kinds. READ MORE

6. 4. The Effect of Crosslinking on Morphology and Electrical Properties in LDPE Intended for Power Cables

   Author : Susanne Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LDPE; morphology; electrical treeing; peroxide; crosslinking; XLPE; water treeing;

   Abstract : Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) is used as underground cable insulation due to its outstanding electrical properties and high temperature dimension stability. XLPE is often made by peroxide initiated crosslinking of low density polyethylene (LDPE). The introduction of unsaturations, i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Crosslinking of Ethylene Copolymers

   Author : Magnus Palmlöf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dibutyltindilaurate; crosslinking; water; ethylene diene copolymers; peroxide; polyethylene; electron beam; crosslinking density; ethylene vinylsilane copolymers;

   Abstract : The chemical reactions taking place when crosslinking poly(ethylene-co-vinyltrimethoxysilane) (EVS) have been studied. Films of EVS were stored in water at 90 °C or treated at processing temperatures in a tubular oven. The different chemical groups involved in the reactions were then followed by FTIR after different treatment times. READ MORE
