Abstract :
We attempted to investigate the effect of acid rain on the resistance against acid rain and tracking resistance of silicone composite materials. The analytical techniques to study the resistance against acid rain are contact angle, and weight loss measurement, SEM, EDX, and XRD. And, we measured time to tracking breakdown, leakage current, and weight loss caused by erosion to study tracking resistance
