Effects of Ultraviolet Radiation,High Temperature and Alkaline Chemicals on Ageing of Silicone Sealants Used in Ballastless Track Expansion Joints

Expansion joints silicone sealants used in high speed railway construction suffer from ultraviolet radiation（UV）, high temperature combined with the alkaline environment. To evaluate the durability and analyse the ageing mechanism, six one-component silicone sealants from different companies were selected and subjected to accelerated ageing tests including UV, thermal and alkali ageing treatments. The ageing effects on the performance of the sealants were evaluated via the appearance and the mechanical property changes. The changes in molecular structure were studied by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）, differential scanning calorimetry（DSC） and thermogravimetry（TG）. This study revealed that different materials displayed different sensibilities to the ageing methods, in which 15 %-20 % decreases of mechanical properties could be observed under UV radiation test, owning the most significant effects. Structure analysis showed that the physical changes of aggregative states were the principal factors to the performance, along with the chemical slight changes. The glossiness dropped significantly in ageing test, which could be used as one of the effective evaluation parameters for ageing conditions in the field.

The performance experiments including cone penetration, softening point, flow, resilience and tension at low temperature respectively were conducted by reference of ASTM D5329 for eight sealants and fillers often used in China. There by a principal component model was developed and weight of every index was calculated. The experimental results show that there are significantly different performances for sealants and fillers often used in China. Principal component analysis is an objective method that evaluates and selects the performance of sealants and fillers for cracks in asphalt concrete pavements.

The Dynamic Tribological Performance of One Certain Resin-based Friction Materials under Different Temperature Conditions

A fixed-point observation method was designed to research the dynamic tribological performance of one certain resin-based friction materials. The friction test was performed through a constant speed friction tester under various temperature conditions. It was found that the dynamic tribological performance of materials has a good consistency with the dynamic evolution of worn surfaces. At lower temperatures, the friction coefficient and wear rate were constant, resulted from the stable worn surfaces. At higher temperatures, the friction coefficient increased gradually, while the wear rate decreased, due to the increasing contact area and Fe concentration. A fade occurred above 250 ℃, which can be explained by the degradation of binders.

Compatibility between glass sealants and electrode materials of solid oxide fuel cells

BaO-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-La2O3-B2O3 system glass materials were investigated as sealants for a solid oxide fuel cell （SOFC）. The transition temperature （Tg and the crystal temperature （Td） values decrease greatly with the increase of BaCO3 content when the other components do not change. For the thermal expansion coefficient （TEC） values, the trend is inverse. The sealant has superior thermal expansion coefficient matching properties with La（Sr）MnO3 （LSM） cathode, La（Sr）FeO3 （LSF） cathode, Ni-LDC （La doped CeO2） anode, and Ni-YSZ （yttria stabilized zirconia） cermet anode. The sealant also has superior stability, compatibility, and good bonding characteristic with these electrode materials at 800-900℃. The results indicate that the aluminosilicate system glass sealant possesses superior compatibility with electrode materials of the solid oxide fuel cell

Evaluation of Ion Release from Four Dental Sealants

The purpose of this study was to determine the ion release from four commercially available pit-and-fissure sealants [3M Clinpro, 3M ConciseTM, BeautiSealant （BS）, and GI FX-Ⅱ）]. With each brand, 18 specimens were prepared. Their fluoride release in de-ionized water was measured by fluoride electrode, while the release of silicate （Si）, aluminum （A1）, sodium （Na）, calcium （Ca）, strontium （Sr）, and phosphorus （P） was measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy （ICP-AES） on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The result showed that fluoride was not released from 3M ConciseTM. GI FX-II displayed the largest fluoride release, which, however, dropped rapidly on day 3.3M Clinpro exhibited less fluoride release than GI FX-II and BS did. At any time during the 28-day experimental period, GI FX-II released more Na than the other sealants （P〈0.001）. BS ranked the second in Na release, and a small amount of Na ions was released from the 3M Clinpro and 3M ConciseTM samples. Al ions were only detected from BS and GI FX-Ⅱ, but not from the 3M Clinpro and 3M ConciseTM. Additionally GI FX-II had the largest Si release among the four brands at any time during the experimental period （P〈0.001）. Ca ions were detected from 3M Clinpro and 3M ConciseTM, but not from GI FX-Ⅱ. BS released more Sr than the other sealants at any time during the experimental period （P〈0.001）. All the samples released similar amounts of P continuously during these 28 days. In conclusion, based on the type and the amount of ion release, BS is the best pit-and-fissure sealant among the four brands.

High-temperature glassy-ceramic sealants SiO_2-Al_2O_3-BaO-MgO and SiO_2-Al_2O_3-ZrO_2-CaO-Na_2O for solid oxide electrochemical devices

Glasses of the SiO_2-Al_2O_3-BaO-MgO and SiO_2-Al_2O_3-ZrO_2-CaO-Na_2O systems were synthesized in the perspective to apply them as sealants in SOFC at operating temperatures of 700-900 °C. Thermal properties of the chosen glass compositions and their compatibility with the SOFC materials(YSZ-electrolyte and alloy-interconnector Crofer22 APU, 15Х25Т) were investigated by means of synchronic thermal analysis and high-temperature dilatometry. The elemental analysis was performed by atomic emission spectroscopy. The average values of the temperature coefficients of the linear extension are 10.0×10^(-6) °С^(-1) for glass 45%SiO_2-15%Al_2O_3-25%BaO-15%MgO and 9.5×10^(-6) °С^(-1) for glass 60%SiO_2-10%Al_2O_3-10%ZrO_2-5%CaO-15%Na_2O. The gluing microstructure in YSZ/glass/Crofer22 APU was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The crystallization process of silicate phases was revealed to occur in the SiO_2-Al_2O_3-BaO-MgO glass. The analysis of the crystallization products was performed by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Glassy ceramics was proved to possess better parameters in comparison with amorphous glass to be used as a sealant in electrochemical sensors and oxygen sensors. The SiO_2-Al_2O_3-ZrO_2-CaO-Na_2O low-temperature amorphous glass can be applied in SOFC.

Bilayered Glass-Ceramics as Sealants for SOFCs

Glass-ceramics are often used as sealants in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). But interfacing components, such as ferritic stainless steel and YSZ electrolyte, may vary in their requirements regarding sealing properties, especially in terms of thermal expansion. A bilayered glass-ceramic system was developed to overcome the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between ferritic steel and YSZ. Therefore, two different glass-ceramics with slightly different CTEs were developed, one with good bonding characteristics to the ferritic steel and the other to the YSZ electrolyte. Steel and electrolyte components were coated with a layer of their corresponding glass sealant paste and heated up to form a sandwich sample. During the heat treatment of the sealing process, the glasses are crystallized into glass-ceramics. The resulting interface between the two glass-ceramics is of special interest. Cross-sections of the sandwich samples were cut, polished and investigated using SEM. The glass-ceramics show continuous, gap-free layers and excellent bonding to both steel and YSZ. Energy release rates are measured for single and bilayered glass sealants by mechanical testing. The designed bilayered glass-ceramics fulfill the special requirements of ferritic steel and YSZ. They show excellent potential to become a new outstanding sealant for SOFCs.
