Abstract

This paper reports the results of the investigation on the treeing and water treeing resistance of copolymers of ethylene and styrene. The samples are copolymer of ethylene and styrene at 0.42 percent by weight (referred to as S), low-density polyethylene (referred to as P), and laminated layers of the two polymers. As a result, the sample which has S on the needle electrode side has a better treeing resistance than the one which has P on the needle electrode side irrespective of the fact that the test piece is laminated or not. Similar tendency is also seen for the water-treeing resistance.
