In summer, black asphalt pavement can absorb a considerable amount of solar radiation, which causes its temperature to rise. Heated asphalt pavement can aggravate the urban heat island (UHI) effect and transfer heat downward, which may cause the prob...
Aluminum plays an essential role as an excellent coating material in diversified applications due to its better corrosion resistance and physicochemical properties. Employing such a material as a coating on different metallic substrates such as carbo...
The need for compatible materials for the preservation of cultural heritage has resulted in the revival of lime-based mortar technology and other applications. This work investigates the cohesion and integrity of lime mortars added with fresh mucilag...
Interest in iridium and platinum has been steadily encouraged due to such unique properties as exceptional chemical inertia and corrosion resistance, high biological compatibility, and mechanical strength, which are the basis for their application in...
Metallic nanoparticle ensemble, with narrow inter-particle distance, is a useful element for diverse optical devices due to highly enhanced electric field intensity at the gap. Self-assembly of block copolymer (BCP) can provide the versatile solution...
Ice nucleation and accretion leads to multiple problems such as freezing of the streets which can cause traffic collisions or people injuries, and collapse of high voltage power lines leading to black-out and icing of aircraft components, causing maj...
Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) play a vitally important role in protecting the hot parts of a gas turbine from high temperature and corrosion effectively. More and more attention has been paid to the performance modification of ZrO2-based ceramics a...
Rigid pavement structures are one of the costly components of the infrastructure development process. It consumes a huge quantity of ingredients necessary for concrete development. Hence, a newly introduced concept of circular economy in combination...
The Cultural Heritage deterioration is a spontaneous decay process due to water percolation and air pollutant deposition. In this context, novel acrylic (Twinswet, TW) and siloxane-based (Alpha®SI30) resins were exploited starting from commercial...
In this work, modified silicone tie-paints were prepared in a simple way for securing adhesion between the epoxy anticorrosive primer and silicone fouling release coating. Hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mixture containing fillers and...
