Abstract :
To clarify the influence of water droplet size on aging of silicone rubber samples in the salt fog aging test, three types of fogs which were made by different equipment and had different sizes were conducted for accelerated aging. Consequently, the fog with large droplets resulted in remarkable change (degradation) on the polymer surface. On the other hand, the effect of smaller droplets was insignificant
