Silicone rubbers. Their present place in electrical insulation

Silicone rubbers are introduced in terms of their chemical composition and physical properties, with a description of different types and the methods by which they are processed. Applications described include cables, insulating sleeving and tapes, while a later Section deals with the important and versatile cold-curing rubbers, which are widely used for potting and encapsulating purposes. Recent developments are then indicated, with special mention of rubbers with improved physical properties.
