Effects of algae contamination on the hydrophobicity of high-voltage composite insulators

Algae colonisation has been observed on silicone rubber insulators around the world especially in a subtropical climate because the moderate temperature and moisture could aggravate the growth of algae upon silicone rubber material. The surface of these insulators easily forms a water film, and the...
