Liquid permeation into silicone rubber (SR) may lead to the degradation or complete failure of the composite insulators. Aiming to inhibit liquid permeation, two kinds of superhydrophobic coatings are applied to the SR surface. The liquid permeation properties of SR with different types of liquids a...
