Effect of filler on self-healing properties of silicone rubber in electrical tree phenomena

Pure silicone rubber is one of the polimer based that is widely used in insulation industry nowadays because it has self-healing properties compared to other polymer introduced before. With its good characteristics such as oil and solvents resistance, cannot be degraded if exposed to sunlight, high...
