This paper presents work that was carried out to investigate the effect that asymmetrical ageing of composite insulators, including ethylene-propylene rubbers (EPDM) and silicone rubbers (SiR), has on water dripping behaviour and subsequent electrical performance. Surface features and hydrophobicity measurements of 132 kV EPDM and 400 kV SiR service aged insulators from coastal environments are examined...
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or silicone rubber is a widely used implant material. Approaches to promote tissue integration to PDMS are desirable to avoid clinical problems associated with sliding and friction between tissue and implant. Plasma-etching is a useful way to control cell behavior on PDMS without additional coatings. In this work, different plasma processing conditions were used to modify...
