"The book gives an overview of the state-of-the-art for automotive cables, nuclear power station cables, undersea cables, coaxial cables, optical wires, medium- and high-voltage cables. It presents material developments for polymers, crosslinked elastomers and flame retardant non-halogen cable compounds. In addition, technologies to crosslink polymers, an overview of foam polymers and field experiences of the new cable fire test within the CPR (Construction Product Regulation) framework are presented. The book also reviews economic questions related to the cable industry with a focus on materials, market segments and countries"--
