Three different silicone polymer systems, such as aminofunctional, epoxyfunctional, and hydrophilic epoxyfunctional silicone polymers, were applied onto plasma pretreated wool fabric to improve the dimensional properties. The results showed that the plasma pretreatment modified the cuticle surface of the wool fiber and increased the reactivity of wool fabric toward silicone polymers. Felting shrinkage of plasma and silicone treated wool fabric was decreased with different level depending on the applied polymer system. Fabric tear strength and hand were adversely affected by plasma treatment, but these properties were favorably restored on polymer application. Therefore, it has been concluded that the combination of plasma and silicone treatments can achieve the improved dimensional stability, and better performance properties of wool fabric. The surface smoothness appearances of treated fabrics were measured using a new evaluation system, which showed good correspondence with the results of KES-FB4 surface tester.

The phenyl modified silicone polymer, 1,1-diphenyl-1-methyl-7-hydroxydodecamethylheptasiloxysilane, was synthesized to prepare the silicone polymer with good cold-proof and heart-proof properties. From the TGA analysis in the range of $100{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, the phenyl modified silicone polymer had good thermal properties than polydimethylsiloxane. And furthermore fluidity was maintained even below $0^{\circ}C$. Also, the silicone rubber blended with the phenyl modified silicone polymer had better mechanical properties than the silicone rubber.

This theiss deals with the effects of addition of silicone oil to the polymerization and oxidation of frying oil in the practical deep fat frying process. The measurement of frying oil stability was carried out under various silicone oil content and compared with controlled frying process. In controlled frying process A.V., C.O.V., TBA, and contents of petroleumether insoluble fatty acids were increased as time was increased. It means thermal oxidized polymerization and hydrolysis of frying oil was occurred. When silicone oil was added to frying oil, it's thermal stability was better than that of the controlled oil and the degree of thermal stability was changed according to the contents of silicone oil. We obtained the highest degree of thermal stability when silicone oil was added 1ppm.

In order to determine what indluences the interfacial breakdown in EPDM/XLPE laminates. We studied the interfacial breakdown phenomena at several interfacial conditions. Breakdown strength in laminates pasted with silicone oil was higher than that with silicone grease. As a function of heat treatment time in a vacuum, interfacial breakdown strength increased much in XLPE/EPDM laminates pasted with silicone grease but increased a little in that with silcone oil. FT-IR spectrum of silicone oil was similar to that is silicone grease. FT-lR spectrum of silicone oil was not changed by the heat treatment in a vacuum, but in silicone grease another peak appeared.

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 work, the effects of plasma treatment on surface properties of semi conductive silicone rubber were investigated in terms of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The adhesion characteristics of semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber were studied by measuring the T-peel strengths. As a result, semiconductive silicone rubber surfaces treated with plasma discharge led to and increase in oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in improving the degree of adhesion of the semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber. these results are probably due to the modifications of surface functional groups or polar component of surface free energy of the semi conductive silicone rubber.

The Surface of semi-conductive silicone rubber was treated by oxygen plasma to improve adhesion and electric performance in joints between insulating and semi-conductive silicone materials. Surface characterizations were assessed using contact angle measurement and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR). Adhesion level was understood from T-peel tests between plasma treated semi-conductive and insulating material. Electrical breakdown strength was measured to understand the charge of electrical performance. From the results, the oxygen plasma treatment produces a significant increase in function group of containing oxygen which can be mainly ascribed to the creation of carbonyl groups on the silicone surface from the strength were improved. Therefore it is concluded then plasma treatment leads to decrease voids originating form poor adhesive, and the improve the adhesion in silicone interface. So we could obtain higher electrical design level of silicone material used for electrical apparatus using oxygen plasma treatment.

This paper presents the results of performance evaluation of silicone treatment technique which was developed for the insulation rehabilitation of water tree aged XLPE power cables. We treated the water tree aged 325 [$\textrm{mm}^2$] CN/CV cables with silicone, and then analyzed the degree of insulation rehabilitation as a function of time. AC breakdown test was conducted to evaluate insulation rehabilitation. The diagnosis test using relaxation current measurement and the characteristic analysis of insulation were also performed to estimate silicone treated cable. AC breakdown strength of silicone treated cable for one year was increased, resulting from the chemical reaction between silicone fluid and water. This experiment showed that the silicone treatment technique was effective for insulation rehabilitation of the water tree aged cables.

Functional additives such as methyl silicone, TBHQ and BHA/BHT have been evaluated for their effects on storage and frying stabilities of the vegetable salad oil. All test results strongly suggest that methyl silicone improved the frying stability and TBHQ improved the storage stability. BHA/BHT improved neither storage stability, nor frying stability of the vegetable saladoil. Based on the test results, it is recommended that methyl silicone in the range of $1.0{\pm}0.5ppm$ and TBHQ in the range of 200ppm be added to the vegetable salad oil for the improvement of frying and storage stabilities.

In this work, the effects of plasma treatment on surface properties of semiconductive silicone rubber were investigated in terms of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angles, The adhesion characteristics of semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber were studied by measuring the T-peel strengths, The results of the chemical analysis showed that C-H bonds were broken due to plasma discharge and Silica-like bonds(SiOx, x=3${\~}$4) increased, It is thought that semiconductive silicone rubber surfaces treated with plasma discharge led to an increase in oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in improving the degree of adhesion of the semiconductive-insulating interface layer of silicone rubber. However, the oxygen plama for 20 minute produces a damaged oxidized semiconductive silicone rubber layer, which acts as a weak layer producing a decrease in T-peel strength, These results are probably due to the modifications of surface functional groups or polar component of surface free energy of the semiconductive silicone rubber.
