Effect of zinc borate on mechanical and dielectric properties of metallocene linear low-density polyethylene/rubbers/magnesium oxide composite for wire and cable applications

The effect of zinc borate (ZB) quantity on the mechanical and dielectric properties of 20 phr magnesium oxide/10 % rubbers (9/1 NR/ENR-50)/metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) in the presence of N,N-m-phenylene bismaleimide (HVA-2) compatibilizer was investigated for wire and cable a...
