Abstract Radiation vulcanization of silicone rubber is commercially feasible from the standpoint of obtaining useful physical properties at relatively low dosage rates. These physical properties are approximately equivalent to those obtained by peroxide vulcanization. We found that, for the limited number of samples tested; the electrical properties, the confined heat resistance, the compression set resistance, and the heat aging were all equivalent to their peroxide counterparts.

Abstract Nordel can be compounded with a wide variety of fillers. Reinforcing carbon blacks and silicas are required for maximum physical properties. Non-reinforcing fillers may be added to the compounds to reduce material costs. As with other elastomers, vulcanizates containing mineral fillers have lower states of cure. One of the outstanding characteristics of Nordel is its extendability. Compounds with large amounts of carbon black and oil are easily processed and have good vulcanizate properties. Hot masterbatching in the presence of promoters significantly improves processing safety, modulus, resilience, compression set, and electrical properties of mineral-filled stocks. Petroleum oils, including aromatic types, are excellent plasticizers for Nordel. Those containing low amounts of nitrogen bases and unsaturates, as indicated by the Rostler method of analysis, are preferred especially in low sulfur recipes designed for maximum heat resistance. The properties of Nordel vulcanizates suggest its use in extruded goods, hose, belts, coated fabrics, molded goods, sponge, heels and soles, wire insulation and jacketing, and tires.

Silicone rubber have been aged in air while under 25% compression at temperature up to 250°C. These studies examined the compression set of silicone rubber at accelerated (elevated) temperatures and were then used to make predictions about compression set at room temperature. The data obtained could be amenable to timetemperature superposition and Arrhenius treatment. The results suggest the presence of two degradation processes with activation energies of 71.6 kJ mol-1 (for temperatures above 165 °C) and 26.08 kJ mol-1 (for temperatures below 165 °C). Based on the extrapolation of the non-Arrhenius behavior, it was estimated that significant compression set loss would occur after around 67 years at 25 °C.

Depth filtration of liquids is a well established process. Its main drawback is that it does not effectively remove particles smaller than about 2-3 µm diameter, because they do not normally approach near enough to the surface of the medium to become attached to it. A static electrical field overcomes this by promoting electrophoretic movement of the particles. The work has studied particle removal from low conductivity water through fibrous depth filters and has covered a variety of fibres with different physical properties. The results yield a fibre efficiency series, which suggest the relationship between filtration efficiency and the electrical properties of the fibre.

This study investigates the effects of micron-sized eggshells filler on resistance to tracking and erosion of silicone rubber composite. Eggshells with particle size from 44 to 53 microns were filled into liquid room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber with 0, 5, 15, 25, and 30 part per hundred of rubber (phr). IEC-60587 inclined plane test (IPT) was employed to appraise the surface tracking resistance. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to evaluate its thermal stability. Experimental results revealed an improvement of tracking and erosion resistance due to an addition of eggshells particles. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the composites showed variation in the increasing amount of the filler. The filler indicated that higher thermal stability of eggshells influences the heat resistance of the matrix. An increase of the heat resistance resulted in the ability to slow down tracking growth and erosion in the discharge region.
