Electron Beam Irradiation Effects on Dielectric Parameters of SiR–EPDM Blends

Abstract

The survival of an electrical system is mostly governed by the endurance limit of the dielectric material employed in it. The five different compositions of SiR EPDM blends were prepared. Electron beam radiation has been widely used in the cable manufacturing industries in order to increase the life of the cable. Hence, the five blends were irradiated to , and Mrad dose levels by electron beam accelerator. The dielectric parameters such as breakdown voltage BDV , dielectric strength DS , dielectric constant DC , and dissipation factor DF were measured as per ASTM/IEC standards. This chapter evaluates the effect of electron beam irradiation on dielectric parameters of SiR EPDM blends.

Polyacrylamide brushes with varied morphologies as a tool for control of the intermolecular interactions within EPDM/MVQ blends

“…In this study the attention is paid to performance of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM)/methyl vinyl silicone (MVQ) blend. This blend combines superior resistance of 4 EPDM to oxidation, ozone or weathering ageing and flexibility over a wide temperature range combined with the excellent heat resistance, hydrophobicity and electric properties under wet conditions of silicone rubber [11][12][13]. In our previous work the significant effect of polymer architecture of clay hybrid particles on damping properties of EPDM/MVQ was revealed.…”

Bioprospecting Studies of Halophilic Bacteria – Streptomyces sp MA05 and Halobacterium sp MA06

“…These organisms also have a vital role in heavy oil degradation [15], biofuel production, and polyaromatic hydrocarbon production [16]. Metabolites of halophilic isolates from invertebrates were reported to be efficient against various pathogenic bacteria [17][18][19]. Halophilic Vibrio sp.…”

Oxidation‐grafting surface modification of waste silicone rubber composite insulator powder: Characterizations and properties of EPDM/modified waste powder composites

“…It is well known that ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) containing silicone rubber can effectively improve the properties of the composites, such as outstanding aging resistance to attack by ozone, weathering, irradiation, and high temperature environment …”
