heal.abstract	The mechanical properties of crosslinked polyethylene were studied in an extended range of test conditions in order to determine the recommended service conditions for articles made of crosslinked polyethylene. On the other hand, this study can clarify the advantages of crosslinked polyethylene against the unmodified polymer. In fact, the results referred in the literature concerning the changes of mechanical properties of polyethylene introduced by crosslinking are contradictory and cannot clearly distinguish the two types of polymer. The above study concluded that tensile tests at elevated temperatures (above 70 degree C) with low stresses (about 0. 5 MPa) can clearly describe the effect of crosslinking on the mechanical properties of LDPE, i. e. an improvement at least for deformation and service life.	en
