Recovery of Hydrophobicity of HTV Silicone Rubber after Accelerated Aging in Saline Solutions

A study of the recovery of the hydrophobicity of high temperature vulcanized (HTV) silicone rubber (SIR) after immersion for 3000 h in saline solutions of different conductivities (0.005-100 mS/cm) and at different temperatures (0-98 °C) as a function of time (0 to 3000 h) is reported. The hydrophob...
