Surface Structural Changes in Silicone Rubber Due to Electrical Tracking

Surface Structural Changes in Silicone Rubber Due to Electrical Tracking

Silicone composite insulators are increasingly utilized in electrical power transmission and distribution, yet they are prone to degradation from electrical and environmental stresses. Understanding the degradation mechanism is vital to prevent potential failures in the electrical grid. Analysis through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and 2D-COS revealed changes in silicone rubber samples from insulators under tracking wheel testing,…

Molecular Characterization of Polymeric Surfaces by Dennis Hore

Molecular Characterization of Polymeric Surfaces by Dennis Hore

“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…

Victoria Tech Community Awards Listing Event Date: December 8, 2022 Victoria, BC Globally, transmission energy losses are approximately 8% of the total power transmitted – equating to over 13,000 TWh. Reducing these losses by even 0.1% with superior insulator technology could result in emission reductions of 4+ million tonnes of CO2e – equivalent to the CO2e emissions from 450 million gallons of gasoline. Our…

CEA’s Conversation Series: Characterization of Silicone Insulator Surfaces to Understand Resistance

CEA’s Conversation Series: Characterization of Silicone Insulator Surfaces to Understand Resistance

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…
