Abstract
In this paper, we compare the growth and the structure of water trees in amorphous polystyrene and semicrystalline low-density polyethylene. The structure and the growth of the water trees observed in each of the polymers are very different. These different aspects are discussed in terms of mechanical fatigue, and the role played by the crystalline layers in the resistance of semicrystalline polymers to water treeing is pointed out.
