Practical adhesion of rubber to aluminum is measured for various aluminum silanization treatments. In this study, 6-(3-triethoxysilylpropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol (TES) was used as the coupling agent for preparing self-assembly monolayers (SAMs) on an aluminum surface. The structure and chemical composition of the SAMs were analyzed using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-I...

Polymeric insulators are widely used in newly constructed systems and to replace porcelain and glass insulators in existing power lines due to its improved performance. This paper presents an experimental work, which was carried to evaluate the flashover voltage (kV) of Silicone rubber / Ethylene propylene diene monoemer blends of outdoor insulators. Effect of environmental parameters at desert...

Abstract Due to the excellent insulation performance, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) is used as cable accessories. To obtain EPDM materials with high dielectric breakdown strength (DBS), special polar molecules and chemistry grafting/crosslinking technique are in this paper. In paper, we choose Maleic anhydride (MAH) an additive introduce deep traps, which generates increase strength(D...

Silicone rubber (SR) and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) are widely-used polymers as housing for high voltage insulators. In this work, SR/EPDM/clay nanocomposites were obtained by two-roll mill mixing outdoor polymeric Morphology, dielectric properties, breakdown strength (DBS), surface volume resistivity of different weight contents nanoclay (Cloisite 15A) incorporated in SR, EPDM, SR...

This paper considers the problem of selecting the most appropriate ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), which is a polyolefin with a variety of usages in different areas. The metallocene catalyst, bis(2-phenyl indenyl) zirconium dichloride ((2-PhInd)2ZrCl2) was synthesized by a modified method and applied to the terpolymerization of ethylene, propylene, and 5-ethylidiene-2-norbornene (ENB)....

a novel mixing approach for achieving a good dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) in ethylene- propylene diene monomer (epdm) matrix has been investigated. in this approach epdm was modified with vinyltrimethoxysilane (vtms) during melt mixing. in addition the effect of mwcnt concentration on mechanical and rheological properties of modified epdm has been studied. the formulated...

Ethylene-propylene-diene rubbers (EPDM) are one of the most important polyolefin materials widely commercialized and used in various industries recent years. The production EPDM is based solely on catalytic coordination polymerization processes. development new catalysts processes for synthesis has expanded range products their manufacturing terms energy efficiency, processability, environmenta...

Abstract Structure–properties relationship in complex rubber nanocomposites is a key for enlarging the performance window. Herein, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are added at variable content to ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/nitrile butadiene (NBR) blends compatibilized with maleic anhydride grafted HNTs evaluate cure characteristics, along microstructure, and mechanical swelling behavio...
