Image Analysis Determination of the Influence of Surface Structure of Silicone Rubbers on Biofouling

This study focuses on how the texture of the silicone rubber material affects the distribution of microbial growth on the surface of materials used for high voltage insulation. The analysis of surface wetting properties showed that the textured surfaces provide higher receding contact angles and the...
