Water repellency, high surface resistivity, vandalism resistance, low density and good processability have made silicone rubbers based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) very attractive materials in housings for outdoor insulation. Their ability to recover hydrophobicity after oxida. tion or contamination is of paramount importance and this is the topic of this review. A critical evaluation of the chemical and physical mechanisms responsible for hydrophobicity loss and recovery is presented.
