Crosslinking is an established treatment to alter the physicochemical and functional properties of polymers through creation bonds between polymer chains. Polymers can be crosslinked via radiation in presence photo-initiator. The aim present study was formulate 3D-printed theophylline (THEO) tablets using polyethylene oxide (PEO) as a carrier polymer, influence crosslinking on drug release beha...

Four vitrimers were made using polyethylene – glycidyl methacrylate copolymer (PE-GMA) and 3,3′ dithiodipropionic acid (DTDPA) a two-step procedure. The amount of DTDPA added was varied, therefore, the crosslink density also varied. Rheological experiments performed. exhibit different rheological behavior depending on angular frequency applied, which most likely stems from presence crosslinked ...

In this paper, crosslinked polyethylene-polystyrene (XLPE-PS) composites with different degrees of crosslinking were fabricated by using agent contents and their direct current (DC) breakdown performance at 30~90 °C was investigated. Results show that the increase degree crosslinking, crystallinity XLPE-PS decreases gradually, but DC strength demonstrates an increasing trend enhancement also in...

This work focuses on the thermal ageing in air of a silane-crosslinked polyethylene stabilised with an excess phenolic antioxidant (Irganox 1076®) temperature range between 87°C and 130°C. In such case, it was shown previous works that is present two physical states: dissolved polymer matrix exuded at sample surface under form crystals. The purpose was, particular, to investigate role stabilisa...
