  1. 1. Stabilizers in crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane

    Författare :Kamyar Fateh-Alavi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Polymer; Material Science; Polydimethylsiloxane; Stabilizers;

    Sammanfattning : The loss and recovery of the surface hydrophobicity areimportant phenomena when highvoltage insulators, with a shedmaterial composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are used. Theloss of hydrophobicity is mostly due to the oxidativecrosslinking which takes place on the PDMS surface duringexposure to electrical discharges, e. g. corona discharges. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : An ageing population in combination with scientific and clinical advancements have led to a steady increase in the use of medical devices. Elastomeric biomaterials – materials displaying rubber-like mechanics – have found widespread applicability in the production of both short- and long-term medical devices. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Silicone Rubber Insulators: Impacts of Material Formulation in Coastal Environment

    Författare :Tomas G Gustavsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surface characterization; aging; filler level; outdoor insulation; leakage current measurements; material formulation; silicone rubber; polymeric insulators; coastal environment; polydimethylsiloxane PDMS ;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with influences of material formulation on the performance of silicone rubber high voltage insulators in a coastal environment. Samples and insulators with known differences in material compositions have been used in this task. In the first step, a screening test with cylindrical samples was initiated. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Loss and recovery of hydrophobicity of polydimethylsiloxane after exposure to electrical discharges

    Författare :Henrik Hillborg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :silicone rubber; polydimethysiloxane; dydrophobicity; corona; air-plasma; oxygen-plasma; surface characterisation;

    Sammanfattning : Silicone rubber based on polydimethylsiloxane is used ashigh voltage outdoor insulation, due to its ability to preservethe hydrophobic surface properties during service and evenregain hydrophobicity after exposure to electrical discharges.The underlying processes for the hydrophobic recovery arediffusion of low molar mass siloxanes from the bulk to thesurface and reorientation by conformational changes ofmolecules in the surface region.
