Polymer insulators are gaining attention as attractive alternatives to traditional ceramic or glass designs on account of their prolonged resistance to water ingress, lightweight, and greener production footprint. However, comparably less is known about how polymer materials such as silicones react and adapt to environmental conditions including chemical stress from de-icing salts, electrical stress from…
“Among the important properties of silicone is hydrophobicity but one of the challenges associated with contact angle measurement is that it is a macroscopic quantity and does not provide molecular insight into the material property. Better understanding the behaviour of a silicone insulation material in its environment requires better characterization methods due to the multitude…
