Abstract
A polymer mixture is provided suitable for use in a cable as a sensor polymer mixture for determining the mechanical and/or electrical stability or aging of a cable. The method may use the determination of changes in the polymer mixture, especially for determination of the aging and/or stability, for example as a measure for estimation of the wear or the remaining service life of a cable having the polymer mixture.
Claims9

- at least one polymer;
- inorganic fillers;
- processing aids;
- 0.2 to 6% by weight of carbon nanotubes;
- optionally plasticizers;
- optionally a crosslinking system;
- and
- optionally dye.
