H-and Y-type crosslinks formed in the benzophenone-photoinitiated crosslinking of various model compounds of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) have been observed and identified for the first time by 13C NMR spectroscopy. The quantitative studies show that both H-and Y-links are formed during the photo crosslinking of dodecane and their concentrations are almost the same; the yield of H-links in the crosslinked isooctane is slightly greater than that of Y-links; in contrast, Y-links are dominant
