The aim of the article is to study the effect of the doping additive on the thermophysical and rheological properties of
halogen-free compositions for power cables with voltage 1 kV with the determination of both the temperatures of phase and
structural transformations of polymer compositions. Methodology. Experiments investigating the phase transformations were

Introduction. In the last few decades, the demand
for halogen-free fire-resistant compositions for the
manufacture of fire-resistant wires and cables is
constantly growing. This is largely due to their
advantages in reducing smoke and reducing toxic and
corrosive gases during combustion compared to
traditionally used halogen-containing non-combustible
cable materials. Such compositions are preferably
materials containing a polymer based on polyolefins and a
significant proportion of inorganic flame retardants, in
particular aluminum hydroxide Al(OH)
3
[1, 2].
Polyolefins are one of the most flammable materials with
high heat of combustion, low oxygen index and high heat
dissipation, leaving little or no coke residue [3, 4].
In order to pass various tests for compliance with
fire safety standards, compositions with content of the
appropriate filler at the level of 60-80 % can be used. Of
course, in this case there are quite complex problems
regarding the manufacturability and mechanical
properties of the compositions, which have to be solved
by both manufacturers of cable compounds and
manufacturers of cable products [5].
Rheological measurements of polymer melts are
widely used in processing technologies of polymer
compositions for quality control and process optimization.
Another interesting field of rheology is to obtain
information about the molecular parameters of polymers
and the structure of heterogeneous polymer systems. The
publication [6] provides an overview of the influence of
molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, the
degree of branching on various rheological
characteristics. For dispersed polymer systems, such as
materials with particles and polymer mixtures, rheological
measurements can be used as a simple method of
qualitative study of interactions between different phases
and changes in geometric structures created by
inhomogeneities [7].
Extrusion is the main method of polymer processing
in the cable industry. Almost all polymer processing
operations require an extruder for melting, mixing and
forming products [8, 9]. To understand and optimize the
extrusion process, it is first necessary to understand the
rheological properties [10]. In other words, it is difficult
to understand and optimize the polymer processing
operation without first having a complete understanding
of the thermoreological behavior of the polymer material
over a wide range of time. Moreover, using the
rheological properties in both shear and longitudinal
flows, it is necessary to determine the appropriate
equation that can capture the correct rheological response
of the material forced through the capillary and slit
extrusion heads [8-11].
36 Electrical Engineering & Electromechanics, 2022, no. 2
Some important rheological properties of polyolefins
and their mixtures related to extrusion are discussed in
[12-17], including: inlet pressure during extrusion,
important for determining the expansion of polymer
melts; influence of temperature and pressure on
rheological properties [18, 19]; wall penetration of
polymers [20-25].
However, for dispersed polymer systems, the
relationship between structure and rheological
characteristics is not clear, additional research methods
should be used to assess the contribution of different
structural elements [26]. In [27] the influence of the
modifier on the thermophysical properties of fire-resistant
composite materials was investigated.
Among the requirements for halogen-free cable
polymer compositions is the ability to provide high linear
extrusion rates. Thus, the study of the effect of alloying
additives on the rheological and thermophysical
properties of halogen-free polymer compositions is an
urgent problem.
The goal of the work is the study of the effect of
the alloying additive on the thermophysical and
rheological properties of halogen-free polymer
compositions for power cables for voltages up to 1 kV
with the determination of the temperatures of phase and
structural transformations of polymer compositions.
Polymer cable compositions. Halogen-free fire-
resistant polymer compositions were studied: sample 1
and sample 2. The polymer matrix (sample 3) for polymer
compositions is a mixture of polyolefins (linear low
density polyethylene; polyolefin elastomer and linear low
density polyethylene modified with maleic anhydride).
Flame retardant filler is alumina trihydrate. The content of
flame retardant in polymer compositions is 60 %. The
polymer composition in sample 2 contains an alloying
additive in an amount of 2 %.
Paraffinic hydrocarbons were used as an alloying
additive. The technical properties of the alloying additive
are listed in Table 1.

The polymer composition is made on the
compounding line of the X-Compound Company,
Switzerland. The line includes the following equipment:
compounder/mixer 120-16 L/D, feed extruder GS 140-6
L/D with granulating head, ingredient dosing system,
transport systems of ingredients and finished products,
granule cooling system.
Equipment and methods. A series of experiments
to study phase and structural transformations, thermal
oxidative degradation processes were performed using
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) TGA/DSC 1/1100 SF
instrument of the METTLER TOLEDO Company at
heating rate of 10 and 50 deg/min.
Operating temperature range is from room
temperature to 1100 °С; heating rate is from 0.01 deg/min
to 100 deg/min.
Microbalance: the maximum weight during
mounting is 1 g. The resolution of the TGA device is 1 μg
in the entire weighing range.
DSC measurement range: 1 – ±350 mW; resolution
– 0.04 μW.
Determination of temperatures of phase and
structural transformations is carried out according to the
characteristic points of the description of physical
phenomena on DSC diagrams.
The beginning of the melting or vitrification effect is
defined as the point of intersection of the baseline with
the diagram before the phase transition. The end of the
effects is defined as the point of intersection of the
baseline with the diagram after the phase transition and
the tangent curve, which is drawn to the point of
inflection.
Determination of decomposition temperatures of
polymer compositions was performed using DSC
diagrams obtained using the instrument TGA/DSC 1/1100
SF (temperature rise rate is 10 deg/min). Decomposition
start and end temperatures were defined as the points of
intersection of the baseline with the diagram before and
after the decomposition of the polymer compositions and
the tangent to the diagram drawn to the inflection point.
Mass loss is defined as the distance on the ordinate axis
between the tangent to the TGA diagram and parallel to
the abscissa axis at the end of the process.
The study of the rheological properties of polymeric
materials was carried out by capillary viscosimetry on the
IIRT-AM instrument.
The properties of polymer compositions were
determined at temperature of 150-190 °C and loads from
37.24 to 211.82 N. Using the obtained data, the shear
stress, shear rate and effective viscosity were calculated.

A series of experiments to determine the electrical
strength was performed using an instrument type AII-70,
electrical resistivity – an instrument type KISI-1.
Statistical analysis was performed by the method of
disperse analysis (ANOVA) using the model of
asymptotic regression according to the integrated
Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with a significance level

Results of investigations. For the extrusion process
of halogen-free polymer compositions, it is important for
cable products to investigate their thermophysical
characteristics such as: temperatures of phase and
structural transformations, decomposition start
temperatures. The latter are also important for the
operation of cable products at elevated temperatures and
short-circuit temperatures. For power cables up to 1 kV
with halogen-free insulation, the short-circuit temperature
is 170 °С (duration not more than 5 s).
Figures 1, 2 show DSC diagrams of a polymer
matrix and a halogen-free polymer composition without
and with an alloying additive content.
Fig. 1. DSC diagram to determine phase transitions
Temperatures of the beginning and end of
decomposition (Fig. 2) vary depending on the
composition: for the polymer matrix (curve 3) in the
range from 229 °С to 254 °С, for the polymer
composition (curve 1) – from 258 °С to 275 °С, and
for the polymer composition with an alloying additive
(curve 2) – from 269 °С to 282 °С.

temperature of the decomposition
Figures 3, 4 show TGA diagrams of a halogen-free
polymer matrix and polymer composition without and
containing an alloying additive.

Mass loss in the range from 200 to 450 °С
Table 2 shows the mass loss data determined from
the TGA diagram (Fig. 3) for the polymer matrix and
polymer composition that do not contain halogens without
and with the content of the alloying additive.
Based on the data in Table 2 it is shown that for
samples 1, 2 at mass loss from 5 % to 20 %, the
temperature is lower (from 298 °С to 376 °С) than for
sample 3 (from 334 °С to 383 °С). When the temperature
reaches 275 °С (Fig. 3), there is a sharp change in mass
loss (curves 1, 2). This is due to the process of
dehydration of alumina trihydrate with heat absorption
and water release. Sample 3 loses 50 % of the mass at
temperature of 426 °С.

Analysis of the TGA diagram (Fig. 4) shows that the
polymer matrix loses 100 % of its mass at temperature of
525 °С. For samples 1, 2 already at temperature of 560 °С
mass loss does not change, the residue is 38 % of the total
mass of the polymer composition, which corresponds to
the loss of chemically bound water and coincides with the
theoretical calculations presented in [29].
Fig. 4. TGA diagram.
Mass loss in the range from 200 to 600 °С
Analysis of DSC and TGA diagrams (Fig. 1-4)
shows that polymer compositions should be used for the
manufacture of cable products in which the maximum
long-term temperature of the conductive core does not
exceed 90 °С, and the maximum temperature at short
circuit is 170 °С. At the same time, the optimal
temperature range of extrusion of polymer compositions
was established. Rheological studies were performed at
temperatures of 150, 170 and 190 °С.
Figures 5, 6 present the dependencies of the
effective viscosity on the shear rate and the effective
viscosity on the shear stress.
Fig. 5. Dependence of effective viscosity at different
temperatures on the shear rate of polymer compositions
In Fig. 5 for the polymer composition of sample 2
there is a more significant decrease in the effective
viscosity over the entire temperature range with
increasing shear rate compared to the polymer
composition of sample 1.
In Fig. 6 there is a decrease in effective viscosity
with increasing shear stress for sample 1 from 8·10
4
to
1.5·10
4
Pa·s, for sample 2 from 6.1·10
4
to 1·10
4
Pa·s. The
alloying additive provides efficient distribution of the
flame retardant filler in the polymer matrix, resulting in
the formation of an ordered supramolecular structure.
Fig. 6. Dependence of effective viscosity on shear stress of
polymer compositions at different temperatures
Figure 7 presents graphical dependencies of shear
rate on shear stress (flow curves) for polymer
compositions of samples 1 and 2, respectively. The nature
of the curves indicates that higher shear stress values are
required to achieve higher shear rate values during the
flow of polymer compositions. For the polymer
composition of sample 2, the flow curves (4, 5, 6) at fixed
values of the shear stress are shifted toward higher values
of the shear rate compared to the polymer composition of
sample 1 (curves 1, 2, 3).
Fig. 7. Dependence of shear stress on the shear rate of polymer
compositions at different temperatures
Figure 8 shows the graphical dependencies of the
activation energy of the viscous flow on the load for the
polymer compositions of sample 1 and sample 2.
The activation energy of a viscous flow determines
the energy barriers that are overcome in the elementary
act of flow and determines the effect of temperature on
the effective viscosity: the higher the activation energy,
the greater the effect of temperature on the effective
viscosity.
For the polymer compositions of sample 1 and
sample 2, the activation energy decreases with increasing
load, and the activation energy of the polymer

composition of sample 1 becomes smaller compared to
the polymer composition of sample 2.
Fig. 8. Dependence of viscous flow activation energy on load
for polymer compositions
The electrophysical properties of polymer
compositions of sample 1, sample 2, and sample 3 have
been studied. The electrical resistivity is determined by
the presence of free charges (electrons and ions) and their
mobility. Electrical strength is the electric field strength at
which a breakdown occurs.
The results of the study are presented in Table 3.

It is advisable to compare fire-hazardous polymer
compositions that do not contain halogens: sample 1 and
sample 2.
From data of Table 3 it can be seen that with the
introduction of the alloying additive, the volumetric
resistivity increases from 1.15·10

to 1.32·10

electrical strength increases from 45 to 48.5 kV/mm.
Conclusions.
1. The influence of alloying additive on the formation
of supramolecular structure of filled polymer
compositions for cable products is determined, due to
which the temperature of the beginning of decomposition
by 11 °С and of the end of decomposition by 7 °С
increases.
2. The expediency of using fire-retardant compositions
for the manufacture of cable products, in which the
maximum long-term temperature of the conductive core
does not exceed 90 °С and the maximum temperature in
the event of a short circuit is 170 °С, is shown.
3. For the first timethe effect of an alloying additive on
reducing the effective melt viscosity of a polymer
composition from 6·10

to 1·10

Pa·s with increasing
shear rate is shown. The shear rate of the polymer
composition containing the alloying additive increases
from 0.5 to 20 s

with increasing shear stress.
4. For the first time the influence of an alloying
additive on the electrophysical properties of fire-
hazardous halogen-free polymer compositions has been
studied. With the introduction of the alloying additive, the
electrical resistance increases from 1.15·10
15
to 1.32·10
15
·cm, and the electrical strength increases from 45 to
48.5 kV/mm.
5. The results of research provide an opportunity to
reasonably approach the development of effective
technological processes for the manufacture of insulation,
sheaths of power cables from halogen-free polymer
compositions.
