A reinforced, filled hydrocarbon polymer composition, having increased strength and ductility, contains synergistic mixtures of at least two copolymerizable interfacial agents including an adsorbable agent and a soluble agent.

Synergistic reinforcement promoter systems for filled polymers

A reinforced, filled thermoplastic polymer composition, having increased strength and ductility, contains a reinforcement promoter having at least two reactive olefinic double bonds and a positive promoter index, based on the double bond resonance and polarity, and the promoter adsorptivity.

Reinforcement promoters for filled thermoplastic polymers

Compositions, devoid of fillers, comprising an ethylene polymer and an N-phenyl substituted amino silane, which can be extruded about electrical conductors to provide insulation thereon which is resistant to the formation of water trees.

Ethylene polymers stabilized against water-treeing by N-phenyl

A dielectric composition comprising ethylene polymer and effective amounts, as a water treeing inhibitor, of at least one organo silane of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from hydrogen, a hydrocarbyl group or substituted hydrocarbyl groups wherein the substituents are hydroxy, halogen, nitro, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkoxy; or R and R.sub.1 together with the adjacent carbon atom form a ring of 3 to 7 carbon atoms; R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkoxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 aryl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 acyloxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently selected from C.sub.1 to C.sub.18 alkoxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy or C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 acyloxy; Y is C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkylene, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted arylene or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --. Partial condensation products of the silanes also have been found to inhibit water treeing in ethylene polymers.

Dielectric compositions stabilized against water treeing with organo

A dielectric composition devoid of filler and resistant to water treeing comprising ethylene polymer, antioxidant for said polymer, and effective amounts, as a water treeing inhibitor, of at least one organo silane of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl; Y is C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkylene or C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted arylene; R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkoxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted aryl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 acyloxy, C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently selected from C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkoxy, C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 acyloxy or C.sub.6 to C.sub.18 substituted or unsubstituted aryloxy.

Dielectric composition stabilized against water treeing with organo

A dielectric composition comprising ethylene polymer and effective amounts, as a water treeing inhibitor, of at least one epoxy containing organo silane.
