摘要 |
The present invention relates to phase separated siloxane-hydrocarbon copolymer surfaces which are hard and hydrophobic and can be superhydrophobic by the addition of nanoparticles. More specifically the siloxane oligomer/polymer precursor is terminated with (a) chemically reactive group(s). The bond between the siloxane moiety and the hydrocarbon functional moiety is a Si atom directly bonded to a carbon atom. It is applied (for example) to the entire surface of a fibre reinforced and void-free polymer concrete core with 60 to 88% polymeric and inorganic fillers for application as a high voltage insulator. The product has high mechanical strength, impact resistance and good electrical insulation properties. The coating provides good UV resistance, hydrophobicity and a hard self-cleaning surface for use as outdoor high voltage electrical insulator in areas of high pollution with low leakage currents when energised and can also be applied to other products. |
