Research demonstrates improved UV resistance and mechanical properties in silicone rubber composites, highlighting innovations in composite insulators.
Key Points
Rutile nano‐TiO2 significantly enhances UV resistance, with mechanical property degradation reduced by 51% after aging.
Accelerated UV aging tests showed improved stability in hydrophobicity and dielectric characteristics after 2000 hours.
Multidimensional characterizations were performed, including mechanical testing and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
This work supports the design and development of long-lasting UV‐resistant composite insulators for power systems.
