AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Crosslinked ethylene polymers cannot be reprocessed and recycled due to their permanent network structure, leading to environmental and sustainability concerns.
Method used
A crosslinkable polymer composition comprising an ethylene-based polymer, a free radical initiator, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl methacrylate disulfide (BiTEMPS methacrylate) that forms disulfide bonds, allowing for dynamic crosslinking and reprocessing by breaking and reforming these bonds at specific temperatures.
Benefits of technology
Enables the reprocessing and recycling of crosslinked ethylene polymers, maintaining mechanical properties while allowing for the formation of new polymer articles through repeated heating and cooling cycles.
