Abstract: Combined with the recent series of work made by the authors, the new development and major breakthroughs in the photoinitiated cross-linking of polyethylene and its industrial application are reviewed, such as the enhanced photoinitiation system, mechanism of photocross-linking, crosslink microstructures, morphology and properties. A new technique of photocross-linked insulated XLPE cables and its future applications are promising.
