Abstract :
This paper describes the experimental results of accelerated aging tests under two different types of experimental conditions. The changes in chemical structure and hydrophobicity of silicone rubber sample before and after aging and cumulative charges were examined to study the influence of saline conductivity and elapsed time in the salt-fog aging
