DAMAGE AND MECHANISM OF METHYL SILICONE RUBBER REINFORCED WITH SILICONE RESIN UNDER PROTON IRRADIATION

Physical properties of silicone rubber.

2 Mechanical engineer, USAMBRL. 3 Major, Army Medical Specialist Corps, USAMBRL. ROOM-TEMPERATURE-VULCANIZING (RTV) silicone rubber is a versatile material and easy to handle. The ingredients from which it is formed are thick liquids that vulcanize at room temperature within a short period of time after the catalyst is added. Depending upon the relative amounts of solid and foam ingredients, th...

'Silicone rubber' lenses in aphakia.

Tesicon, one of the commercially available 'silicone rubber' lenses, was used in the correction of aphakic patients. In 74% of cases the lenses were considered successful for a daily wear regimen by the patient. Furthermore, a small number of patients could wear this lens without interruption for 3 to 6 days at a time. Despite this good acceptance by patients, corneal problems (mainly staining)...

Flashover Characteristics of Silicone Rubber Sheets under Various Environmental Conditions

Silicone rubber insulators are replacing the conventional ceramic and porcelain insulators rapidly in power transmission and distribution industry. Very limited field knowledge is available about the performance of silicone rubber insulators in polluted and contaminated environments and therefore need further investigation. A comprehensive analysis of silicone rubber sheets (intended for coatin...
