Electron beam irradiation efffects on polymer cross-linking used for wire and cable insulations are still being researched. This study showed that upon irradiation, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (LDPE-g-MAH) addition as coupling agent to the LDPE/fillers, imp...
