Surface Structural Characterization of Polymer Composite Insulators for Improved Weather Resistance

Surface Structural Characterization of Polymer Composite Insulators for Improved Weather Resistance

Award Summary: To date, testing of some materials such as silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubbers has been carried out, and some general findings exist, but it remains to be understood how the materials respond to weathering under their electrical load. In this project, a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy, microscopy, and macroscopic measurements…

High-level characterization of the effects of de-icing salts on polymer composite insulator shed hydrophobicity and monomer leakage

High-level characterization of the effects of de-icing salts on polymer composite insulator shed hydrophobicity and monomer leakage

High-level characterization of de-icing salts on polymer composite insulator Award Summary: To evaluate the long-term effects of corrosive conditions (particularly the use of de-icing salts) on the hydrophobicity of silicone used on polymer composite electrical insulators. Used a variety of analytical methods to better understand the effects of simulated ageing on polymer samples. These methods…

Tools development: Manufacturing lightweight composite insulators for electricity distribution and rail systems

Tools development: Manufacturing lightweight composite insulators for electricity distribution and rail systems

Award Summary: Causes of electromagnetic noise in a wide range of frequencies, including the radio-frequency (RF) range used for Wi-Fi, cellphone, internet, radio and TV transmission. RF-disruption near power lines is currently a nuisance in many urban areas. Smart grids for more efficient energy usage, as well as roadway signalling and other city planning for the future rely on increasing rates of…
