An investigation was made of the effect of copolymers of ethylene with vinyl acetate (CEVA) on the thermodynamic stability and structural and mechanical properties of cured composites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and dicumyl peroxide with crosslinking coagent trimethylolpropane trimethylacrylate (TMPTMA). It was shown that, in the presence of CEVA, thermodynamic compatibility of LDPE with TMPTMA is ensured, and the chemical network density is increased significantly.
