Key Points

This research aims to explore the properties of dynamically cross-linked polyethylene using boronate ester bonds and its implications for reprocessability.
Fabrication of cross-linked polyethylene using thiol-ene click reaction
Assessment of thermal stability through standardized testing methods
Evaluation of reprocessability under various conditions
The dynamically cross-linked polyethylene exhibits improved thermal stability compared to traditional formulations
Reprocessability is demonstrated without significant loss in material properties
Thermal stability testing shows a retention of 90% of initial properties after reprocessing

Implication

Evaluates thermal stability and reprocessability of cross-linked polyethylene, suggesting enhanced utility.

Abstract

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is one of the most widely used thermosetting plastics today, valued for its excellent properties that enable broad applications. However, its permanently cross-linked three-dimensional structure makes it...
