A Study on Physical and Electrical Condition Monitoring of Seawater Soaked CSPE

해수오염 된 CSPE의 물리·전기적 상태감시에 관한 연구

The accelerated thermal aging of chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) was performed for 0 days, 80.82 days, and 161.63 days at $100^{\circ}C$, which is equivalent to 0y, 40y, and 80y of aging, respectively, at $50^{\circ}C$. The volume electrical resistivity of dried CSPE for 570~630 days after seawater and freshwater soaking, are $1.109{\times}10^{14}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, $8.546{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and $8.466{\times}10^{13}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. The applied voltage rising time of 11~12 second and dielectric breakdown time of 9~11 second of the accelerated thermal aged CSPE is shorter than those of 12~13 and 11~13 second of the non-accelerated thermal aged CSPE, respectively. It is shown that oxidation, fragment and crack are formated at hole of dielectric breakdown in CSPE. The apparent density of dried CSPE for 750 days are $1.555g/cm^3$, $1.595g/cm^3$ 및 $1.597g/cm^3$ according to accelerated thermal aging year, respectively.
