Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber has been widely used to coat porcelain insulators to render water repellency to prevent formation of water film on the surface and thus to suppress the leakage current and consequently flashover. However, the electrical property and the hydrophobicity of RTV silicone rubber coating under outdoor condition may be influenced by many environmental factors. In this studyvarious treatments, such as salt-fog, salt water immerging and UV irradiation were applied to the samples to investigate the change of the electrical property and hydrophobicity. As a result the leakage current increased and contact angle decreased asthe degradation time is longer. But the degraded RTV silicone rubber has recovered its hydrophobicity during the drying time in ambient condition because LMW(Low Molecular Weight) silicone fluid diffused from the bulk to the surface.

This paper presents the effects of accumulation of surface charges on hydrophobic level and the changes of surface potential decay with various artificial environment treatments on high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber used for outdoor insulating material. For this study, the charging apparatus by corona discharge, in which grid electrode was installed between the main corona and ground electrode, was used. From this study, it was found that the accumulation of surface charges above a critical surface potential on silicone insulating materials could lead to the temporary loss of surface hydrophobicity. In addition, corona stress and water absorption stress increase the decay rate of surface charges of HTV silicone rubber, while ultraviolet (UV) stress causes longer decay time. We could conclude that the effects of surface charges on hydrophobicity level and the changes of surface state by various artificial treatments were found through a trend of surface potential decay.

Hydrophobic and Superhydrophobic surfaces are promising technology for the surface finishing of metallic materials due to its water-repellency. Realization of highly water-repellent surface on aluminum and its alloys provides various functionalities for real application fields. In order to realize the hydrophobic/superhydrophobic surfaces on aluminum and its alloys, various technologies have been demonstrated. Especially, traditional anodic oxidation for aluminum has been widely employed for the morphological texturing of surfaces, which is essential to enhance the hydrophobic efficiency. De-wetting superhydrophobic surface on aluminum provides various exceptional properties, such as anti-corrosion, anti-/de-icing, anti-biofouling, drag reduction, self-cleaning and liquid separation. Nevertheless, the durability and stability of superhydrophobic surfaces still remain challenges for their actual applications in engineering systems and industry. In this review, the theoretical/experimental studies and current technical limitations on the hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surface using anodic oxidation of aluminum have been summarized.

이 논문은 반도전 실리콘 고무 표면에 코로나 방전 처리하여 이종의 실리콘 고무와의 접착 특성을 나타낸 것이다. 반도전 실리콘 고무 표면 상태를 발수성 등급에 따른 분류와 FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 평가하였다. 표면 상태 변화에 따른 반도전 실리콘 고무의 접착 특성은 T-peel test로 접착강도를 시험하였다. 실험 결과 고에너지의 코로나 방전으로 반도전 실리콘 고무의 결합쇄가 절단되었고 이 부분에 산소가 결합되어 극성 관능기를 생성하여 표면을 산화시켰다. 이러한 표면 상태 변화에 따른 접착강도는 초기 상태일 때 보다 코로나 방전 처리 후 증가하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이 논문을 통하여 코로나 방전 처리는 이종 계면의 접착 특성을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 이종 계면에서 발생하는 절연 파괴 전압을 높여 전기절연 성능을 향상시키는데 도움이 될 것이다.

This paper presents the results of multi-stress chamber experiments done to examine the tracking and erosion performance of polymer insulator. Multi-stress testing is able to demonstrate deficiencies of polymer insulator materials and designs, including the nature of interfaces in insulation design. Therefore, multi-stress testing is believed to a suitable test for evaluating the aging performance of polymer insulator designs. We have nvestigated IEC 61109 Annex C for estimating long time performance of polymer insulator.

The polymer insulators which are installed on outdoor have a great advantage than porcelain and 71ass, due to suppression of leakage current, light weight, low cost, etc. It needs variable evaluation methods for application of these insulators on service. The analysis of measuring leakage current is useful for ageing diagnosis because of monitoring in real-time. In this paper, we look over the recovery of hydrophobicity of silicone rubber in mini salt-fog chamber with leakage current monitoring. also, we understand the relation of between hydrophobicity and leakage current and discuss on method of leakage current monitoring.

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of the environmental factors on Low Molecular Weight (LMW) silicone fluid contents existing in high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber sample, using dipping method and contact angle, current measurement. Artificial treatments such as immersion in water, elevated temperature, UV irradiation and dry band arcing under salt-fog condition are selected as the environmental factors. This results will be helpful to investigate the degradation with time and to expect a life time, because the LMW silicone content, which is important to recovery the hydrophobicity of silicone rubber surface, show different results by each environmental factors.

In this study, the compressive strength and porosity characteristics of cement mortar mixed with liquid and powder composite water repellent were evaluated. When the liquid water repellent was mixed, the compressive strength at 28 days of age was 42% compared to OPC, and the compressive strength was greatly reduced. However, the 28-day compressive strength of the powder water repellent mixture and P5L1, P6L1 liquid and powder composite water repellent was about 97% compared to OPC, and there was little decrease in compressive strength.

In this study, octadecyldimethyl(3-triethoxy silylpropyl)ammonium chloride (ODDMAC) incorporated with Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics with different environmental conditions such as various temperature and time intervals. First, ODDMAC (15 weight %) was dissolved in ethanol. Then PET fabrics immersed in the ODDMAC solution at 25 ℃ for 10 minutes and dried at 80 ℃ for 5 minutes. The dried PET/PDDMAC fabrics carried out for curing process out at 110 ℃ ~ 190 ℃. The treated PET/ODDMAC has examined the surface and side coating properties through SEM analysis and elemental analysis. PET/ODDMAC fabric washed with water up to 50 times and studied the durability of the materials. It was confirmed that the treated PET fabric also exhibited good water repellency. In addition, the antimicrobial activity against the gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli were studied by the disc diffusion method on the treated fabric.
