The accuracy and dimensional stability of rubber impression materials are very important for the fitness of the final restoration. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of the storage time and pouring frequency of the additional silicone materials on dimensional stability. Total 30 impressions were made of tooth prepared single crown. The dies had 1 buccolingual, 1 mesiodistal and 1 occlusogingival lines. Two additional silicone materials(examixfine, aquasil) were included. 15 specimens were made of each impression material and poured by type IV stone over times(1hour, 24hours, 72hours) after mixing. 5 impressions poured after 1 hour were used for second pouring after 24hours and third pouring after 72hours. The same examiner measured each specimen 3 times after lazer scanning. All statistical tests were performed with the level of significance set at 0.05. The results indicated that significant difference at any measuring point of stone dies except the buccolingual and mesiodistal lines of the specimen made at 1hour after mixing with examixfine when measurements at 1hour, 24hours and 72hours were campared. There were significant difference between two impression materials and at every measuring point of stone dies made at second and third pouring. The length of measuring point increased significantly as time passed by and increase of the pouring frequency. However, this results are clinically acceptable except the dies of the third pouring. Under the conditions of this study, the shrinkage rate of the additional silicone rubber impression materials significantly increased as time passed by and increase of the pouring frequency.

폴리머 애자용 Shed 재료의 전기방전에 대한 열화내성과 표면발수성은 제품의 장기성능에 있어서 가장 중요한 물성들이다. 그러나 무기보강재의 첨가량이 많아 무결점 성형성을 만족하도록 하기 위해서 Process Oil의 사용이 불가피한데 사용하는 오일의 종류와 양에 따라 옥외절연물의 장기성능에 영향을 주는 표면발수성이나 방전내성은 크게 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀져 있다. 본 논문에서는 화학적 구조와 점도가 다른 몇 종의 hydroxy silicone oil(HS 오일)을 혼련 (kneading) 하는 과정에 첨가하여 이들 오일의 종류와 양이 고무의 기본적인 물성, 발수성, 방전열화내성， 내트래킹성 등에 어떻게 영향을 주는가를 조사하였다. 코로나 처리시간에 따라서 접촉각의 저하정도와 코로나 처리 후 경과시간에 따른 발수성의 회복특성을 조사하였다. HS 오일의 접도에 따라 초기발수성, 발수성 회복특성의 차이가 많았다. 점도가 낮을수록 초기 발수성 저하는 크며 회복속도는 빠른 반면 점도가 높을수록 초기 발수성 저하는 작은 반변은 발수성 회복속도는 다소 느리게 나타났다 내트래킹성 결과는 점도가 높을수록 우수한 특성을 보였다. 결론적으로 폴리머 애자용 실리콘고무의 컴파운딩에서 실리콘오일의 선택은 성형작업성, 발수성회복특성, 열화내성 외에 가격 등을 고려하여 최적화가 필요하다.

In this paper, aging characteristics of silicone rubber used for outdoor insulation have been investigated with regards to sunlight effect. For this purpose, silicone rubbers were aged under the artificial sunlight by use of xenon arc lamp(1500W) and various tests were performed such as tracking, breakdown, contact angle, stress, strain. And then, in order to elucidate the changes of material, analysis have been followed as follows; FT-IR, SEM and EDS. Regarding the effect of the sunlight, it was obs that the surface of test samples are severely da with decreased hydrophobicity, tracking resistan breakdown strength.

The release of progesterone from monolithic devices composed of different ratios of polyethylene oxide (PEO; mw 20, 000) and hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane was investigated. Water soluble PEO soaked into the polymer provided controlled release of progesterone. The release rate of progesterone could be controlled by varying the contents of PEO and progesterone in soaking solution. The progesterone release rate from silicone devices increased as the content of PEO in devices increased, while it decreased as the content of PEO in soaking solution increased. The release rate may be made by simple alterations of geometry of devices controlled swelling and the change in the physical structure of polymer network. Hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane containing PEO and progesterone can provide a contraceptive material for prolonged release of progesterone.

Electrical characteristic of tracking resistance, volume resistance, insulation breaking strength etc. and mechanical characteristic are required to high voltage insulation insulator silicone rubber. Tracking resistance is adding much ATH to improve tracking resistance as the most important factor among them. But, there is problem that mechanical strength grows worse rapidly adding much ATH. Therefore, this research studied effect that flame retardant gets to tracking resistance during factor that influence to tracking resistance.

The dielectric properties of silicone rubbers are very important to investigate the polymer structure. The characteristics of the dielectric absorption in silicone rubbers were studied in the frequency range of 30Hz to $1{\times}10^6Hz$ at the temperature range of $30^{\circ}C$ through $170^{\circ}C$. As the results of the study, dielectric constant, tangent 5 were measured $2.8{\times}4.5,\;0.007{\times}0.08$.

Multi-Walled Carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) coupled with Silicone Rubber (SR) can represent applicable strain sensors with accessible materials, which result in good stretchability and great sensitivity. Employing these materials and given the fact that the combination of these two has been addressed in few studies, this study is trying to represent a low-cost, durable and stretchable strain sensor that can perform excellently in a high number of repeated cycles. Great stability was observed during the cyclic test after 2000 cycles. Ultrahigh sensitivity (GF>1227) along with good extensibility (ε>120%) was observed while testing the sensor at different strain rates and the various number of cycles. Further investigation is dedicated to sensor performance in the detection of human body movements. Not only the sensor performance in detecting the small strains like the vibrations on the throat was tested, but also the larger strains as observed in extension/bending of the muscle joints like knee were monitored and recorded. Bearing in mind the applicability and low-cost features, this sensor may become promising in skin-mountable devices to detect the human body motions.

Silicone rubber-based sodium-selective membranes are developed for solid-state ion sensors. It was shown that the potetiometric performance of SR-based membranes are greatly dependent on the type of neutral carriers employed; among the three ionophores, N,N,N',N'-tetracyclohexyl-1,2-phenylenedioxydiacetamide (ETH 2120), bis[(12-crown-4)methyl]dodecylmethylmalonate (D12C4DMM) and monensin methyl ester (MME), examined, only ETH 2120 was compatible with the SR-based matrix. Addition of about 20 wt% plasticizer to the SR-based matrix provided the resulting membranes with potentiometric properties essentially equivalent to those of the corresponding PVC-based membranes. Owing to the strong adhesive strength of SR-based membranes, the CWEs coated \vith those membranes exhibited long lifetime with conventional electrode-like performance. Blending of PU into the SR matrix increased the lifetime of CWEs from two weeks to one month.

Because complex insulation method is used in EHV(extra high voltage) insulation systems, macro Interfaces between two different bulk materials which affect the stability of insulation system exist inevitably. Interface between toughened epoxy and silicone rubber was selected as a interface in EHV insulation systems and tested AC interfacial breakdown properties with variation of many conditions to influence on electrical Properties, such as interfacial pressure, roughness and oil. Specimen was designed to reduce the effect of charge transport from electrode in the process of breakdown and to have the tangential electrical potential with the direction of the interface between epoxy and silicone rubber by using FEM(finite elements method). It could control the interfacial pressure, roughness and viscosity of oil. From the result of this study, it was shown that the interfacial breakdown voltage is improved by increasing interfacial Pressure and oil. In particular, the dielectric strength saturates at certain interracial Pressure level. The decreasing ratio of the interfacial breakdown voltage in non-oiled specimen was increased by the temperature rising, while oiled specimen was not affected by temperature.

The application of polymeric insulators for outdoor use has been increasing as a new replacement of overhead line in abroad. In domestic case, it is actively going on the research of polymeric insulators. The Silicone rubber among polymeric insulators have a good electrical properties, due to surface hydrophobicity. This paper is concentrated on the recovery of surface hydrophobicity and the change of surface construction after electrical stress. The feature of silicone rubber, a good hydrophobicity, is demanded the improvement method as the estimation of the non-ceramic insulators like it.
