Chemical changes at the surface of RTV silicone rubber coatings on insulators during dry-band arcing
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of ATR-FTIR and ESCA indicate the formation of low molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the reduction in the surface density of CH3 groups and crosslinking of the PDMS backbone chains at the surface.

Effects of saline water and temperature on surface properties of HTV silicone rubber
Mohamed A. Ali,R. Hackam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the hydrophobicity of high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber (SIR) after immersion in saline solutions as a function of time (0 to 3000 h) at different temperatures is reported.

Production of nitric oxide using a pulsed arc discharge
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported on the production of NO using a pulsed arc discharge in dry air and in mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen, and the density of the brass particles emitted from the electrodes, which had diameters over 0.3 /spl µ/m, was less than 1.39 /spl mu/g/L. No ozone was detected at the outlet of the system by UV absorption.

Influence of gas flow rate and reactor length on NO removal using pulsed power
Takao Namihira,S. Tsukamoto,Douyan Wang,H. Hori,Sunao Katsuki,R. Hackam,Hidenori Akiyama,M. Shimizu,K. Yokoyama +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a short duration of 100ns pulsed power has been used to remove nitric oxide (NO) in a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and NO, simulating flue gases from a power station.

Recovery of Hydrophobicity of HTV Silicone Rubber after Accelerated Aging in Saline Solutions
Mohamed A. Ali,R. Hackam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the hydrophobicity of high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber (SIR) was determined by measuring the static contact angle thetas between the tangent to the droplet of distilled water and the horizontal surface of the HTV SIR.
