Abstract :
This paper has investigated the thermally stimulated current (TSC) characteristics of the deteriorated HTV silicone rubber under varied corona discharge duration, the hydrophobicity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) of the corresponding test samples have also been measured. The experimental results show that the TSC characteristics of HTV silicone rubber gradually varied with the corona deterioration process, and it has relationship with the change of its hydrophobicity, SEM, and also FTIR. As a result, it could be suggested that the TSC characteristics might be used as an effective index for assessing the corona deterioration of HTV silicone rubber.
