The deicing effect of this approach is examined by the contact angle test and the shear test. The durability of the approach is examined by the accelerated abrasion test, and the skid resistance of the pavement with surface coating is examined by the British pendulum test and the surface texture depth test. In the contact angle test, the contact angle between hydrophobic admixture and water is 100.2°. In the shear test, the maximum shear stress is 0.06 MPa for the specimen coated with hydrophobic admixture, which is much lower than that of the specimen without hydrophobic admixture coating, 3.5 MPa. Furth- ermore, the ice and asphalt surface are completely separated for the coated specimen while not for the uncoated specimen. Based on the accelerated abrasion test, the residual hydro- phobic admixture in the veins of the pavement after abrasion still has a deicing effect. From the skid resistance tests, the British pendulum number (BPN) and the texture depth (TD) of the specimen coated with hydrophobic admixtures are larger than those of the standard requirements. The overall experi-mental observation indicates that the approach can effectively reduce close contact between asphalt pavement and ice; therefore, it can be a promising solution to road icing problems in winter.展开更多

Taking the Cangdongpian inning area on the west side of Tiaozini Sand as a case study, the paper analyzed the compages and validity of ebb tide water to maintain the flood discharge creek below the tide lock for different projects of seawall line. Result indicates that a rational seawall line program has little influence on the flood discharge of lock during the mean tide or general spring tides, but has certain influences during a storm surge or an extreme spring tide in autumn.

The ink for spin coating was optimized by pre-reducing the precursor powders in hydrogen, which turned the nanoparticle precursor powders from mixed sulfides into a mixture of CuInS2 and Cu-In metal alloys. The results of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectra showed that this optimization could highly improve the performance of CuInS2 polycrystalline thin films, including higher packing density, less impurity phases, and better quality. The energy gap of optimized CuInS2 thin film was determined to be about 1.45 eV by absorption spectroscopy measurement.展开更多

The coatings were systematically characterized. Corrosion properties were evaluated by immersion test and anodic polarization measurement. The friction and wear properties of the CrN and CrSiN coatings were investigated by ball-on-disk tribometer in artificial seawater. The results show that the CrN coating has strong(111) and(200) preferred orientations and the intensity of the peaks decreases for the CrSiN coating. The hardness of the CrSiN coating is higher than that of the CrN coating. The CrSiN coating presents better corrosion resistance in seawater. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the CrSiN coating are lower than those of the CrN coating, indicating positive effect of Si addition on tribological performance in seawater. The coatings could significantly improve the wear resistance of the 316 L in seawater.展开更多

A better understanding of the micro-organisms and the bio- genie acids that are generated in the sewer is essential in controlling the corrosion of concrete pipes and protective coatings. The role of succession of micro-organisms growth in the corrosion of concrete and protective coatings was evaluated in this study. Examination of various sewer pipe materials exhibiting various extents of degradation, including concrete, cement based and epoxy based coating revealed the presence of both organic and biogenic sulphuric acids. This reflects the activity of fungi and the thiobacilli strains. Organism growth and metabolism were strongly related to the substrate pH. Fungi were found to grow and metabolise organic acids at pH from 2.0-8.0. Whilst the thiobacilli strains grew and generated sulohuric acids at oH below 3.0. The successive growth of the organisms provides an impgrtant bearing in deyeloping improved strateegies.to better manage sewers.展开更多

In the present study, the authors focus on the effect of these active substances to the maaix polymer of coating. In order to obtain such information, the authors investigated the penetration of active substances to the polymer from cross section of specimens introduced by SAICAS (surface and interracial cutting analysis system), followed by FT-IR-ATR (Fourier transform infrared and attenuated total reflectance) spectroscopy analysis from Z direction of cross section. The corrosion test of coating panels by these active substances (control as artificial seawater) has been conducted for 120 days. The results show that the depth profile of each active substance is around few dozens of micrometers from coating surface. The criteria of corrosion test cannot be determined by these results due to lacking in actual corrosion data immersed for 15 years under active substances. However, the authors evaluated the effect on ballast tank coating systems by active substances using analytical methods of SAICAS and FT-IR-ATR spectroscopy.展开更多

The effects of fin pitch, number of tube rows and inlet air relative humidity on the airside characteristics are investigated. The airside heat transfer and friction characteristics are presented in the form of Colburn factor and friction factor, respectively. The test results indicate that the Colburn factor and friction factor increase with decreasing fin pitch. The Colburn factor of 2 tube row heat exchanger is higher than that of 3 row heat exchanger, while their friction factors are nearly equal. As the inlet relative humidity increases, the Colburn factor increases and the friction factor is almost unchanged. The airside heat transfer and friction correlations are proposed for the hydrophilic-coated wavy fin with mean deviations of 6.5% and 9.1%, respectively. They can be used to design or evaluate hydrophilic-coated wavy fin-and-tube heat exchangers.展开更多

Gold marker was used to define the mass transport direction. The oxide scales were studied with X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). The oxidation resistance of the steel is improved by CeO2 coating, though the improvement is not remarkable. Ce-rich oxide band is located at the interface of the inner equiaxed layer and the outer columnar layer after oxidation, which is not consistent with the original surface. The results show that outward iron transport is blocked by the Ce-rich band. A new oxide nucleating and growing site (reaction front) is induced at the inner surface of the Ce rich band.展开更多

The obtained polymers were characterized by FTIR(fouier transform-infrared spectroscopy), 1H NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance), 13C NMR, 19F NMR, GPC(gel permeation chromatography), TGA(thermogravimetric analyzer), and XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) analyses. Highly hydrophobic and oleophobic cotton fabrics could be achieved from these fluorinated hyperbranched polymers by solution-immersion coating method. The static contact angles reached to 143°, 114°, and 92° for water, hexadecane, and decane, respectively. The water and oil repellency ratings were 90 and 6, respectively, and still kept 80 and 5, respectively, after 10 soaping cycles at 50℃.展开更多

文摘A series of hyperbranched poly(urea-urethane)s (HPUs) containing short fluoroalkyl chain and reactive groups (HPUFs) capable as hydrophobic and oleophobic coating materials were synthesized. The obtained polymers were characterized by FTIR(fouier transform-infrared spectroscopy), 1H NMR(nuclear magnetic resonance), 13C NMR, 19F NMR, GPC(gel permeation chromatography), TGA(thermogravimetric analyzer), and XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) analyses. Highly hydrophobic and oleophobic cotton fabrics could be achieved from these fluorinated hyperbranched polymers by solution-immersion coating method. The static contact angles reached to 143°, 114°, and 92° for water, hexadecane, and decane, respectively. The water and oil repellency ratings were 90 and 6, respectively, and still kept 80 and 5, respectively, after 10 soaping cycles at 50℃.
