Crosslinkable olefin/silane interpolymer compositions with reduced peroxide levels

Abstract

A process to form a crosslinked composition, the process comprising thermally treating a composition that comprises the following components: a) at least one olefin/silane interpolymer comprising at least one Si—H group, b) at least one peroxide, and c) at least one crosslinking coagent, wherein the composition has a mole ratio of active oxygen atom to carbon-carbon double bond of ≥0.02 and ≤0.7, based on the active oxygen atom content of component b and the carbon-carbon double bond content of component c. A composition that comprises the following components: a) at least one olefin/silane interpolymer comprising at least one Si—H group, b) at least one peroxide, and c) at least one crosslinking coagent, wherein the composition has a mole ratio of active oxygen atom to carbon-carbon double bond of ≥0.02 and ≤0.7, based on the active oxygen atom content of component b and the carbon-carbon double bond content of component c.
