Abstract
In this paper, accelerated thermal aging experiment was used to simulate the thermal aging behavior of XLPE, and FT-IR, DSC, TG and other test techniques were used to characterize the materials with different aging periods. The results show that with the aging time, the oxygen-containing groups in XLPE increase, and the crosslinking degree of molecular chains decreases. At the same time, the melting peak of the endothermic peak of the material shifts and the endothermic enthalpy decreases. After aging, the high temperature resistance of XLPE decreases and decomposition occurs more easily. The thermal decomposition of XLPE before and after thermal aging was carried out at different temperatures, and the corresponding thermal decomposition gases were collected. According to GC-MS analysis, the thermal decomposition gas products were all small molecule unsaturated olefin, small molecule containing oxygen and long carbon chain containing oxygen, and the content changed significantly before and after aging.
