Abstract

Silicone rubber composite is very suitable for insulation materials because of it's hydrophobicity, mass productivity, and design flexibility. A study of the diffusion of silicone fluid from the bulk to the surface of the silicone rubber composite using dynamic contact angle meter and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) is reported. A study of the mechanical strength of the silicone rubber composite having various silicone fluids and fluid contents is also reported. It has been found that the kind of silicone fluid affects the diffusion rate of the silicone fluid from the bulk to the surface of the silicone rubber composite after artificial pollution.
