Abstract
The vinyl content in methyl vinyl silicone oil has a significant impact on the mechanical and electrical properties of reinforced silicone rubber. In this study, mechanical property and electrical tree initiation of silicone rubber were studied by comparing different vinyl contents. The results show that shore hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear strength of insulating silicone rubber material increase first and then decrease with the of vinyl content increasing from 1% to 5%. The breakdown strength and the initiation voltage of electrical tree are basically consistent with the variation of tensile strength and tear strength. Detailed discussion are presented. This work could provide data support for the practical preparation of engineering silicone rubber.
