Thermo-oxidative resistance of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) coated by hybrid coatings containing graphene oxide

Additional measurements of the surface resistivity have been also carried out before and after the chemical reduction of GO in the coatings, by exposition to hydrazine hydrate vapours. A strong decrease of surface resistivity has been observed after GO reduction with hydrazine, leading, for the sample containing 0.8 wt% of GO in the coating, to an almost antistatic behaviour of the resulting coated XLPE.
