Cool Roofs

The heat island phenomenon in urban areas has become a problem in the recent years. One measure to overcome this, which has been attracting attention, is painting the cool roof with a paint that has high solar reflectance. However, the solar reflectance has been reported to decrease over time owing to staining from the paint. Our investigations reveal that a self-cleaning paint, based on an acrylic silicone polymer, is effective in maintaining a high solar reflectance and preventing dirt from adhering. These evaluations have been conducted on the cool roof of an actual building by conducting a pollution test under outdoor exposure conditions. In this study, we investigated an accelerated aging test and reported the results. ASTM D7897-15 (ASTM method) is an accelerated pollution test method for cool roofs, which has been established in the United States. In Japan, a similar accelerated pollution test method exists for antifouling civil engineering materials introduced by the Public Works Research Institute in Japan (PWRI method). The ASTM method and PWRI method were compared by conducting a stain acceleration test using a self-cleaning- and conventional-type cool-roof coating. The substitutability of the exposure test, correlation with the exposure test, performance evaluation of the paint, and the effect of the difference in the pretreatment conditions were verified. The results of these tests were reported.

Physiological Quality

The physiological quality is based on the genotype and may be accompanied since the first stages of selection through the study of genetic diversity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the parental genetic contribution in the seed physiological quality in corn intervarietal crossbreeds. The intervarietal crossbreeds were performed using landraces genotypes, open pollinated varieties and commercial hybrids. The seeds obtained from the crossbreed, their equivalents and parentals were evaluated regarding their water percentage, germination, germination speed rate, accelerated aging, field emergence and electrical conductivity. The seeds obtained in the crossbreed are viable and vivid with heterosis when compared with the parentals. The accelerated aging test was more effective for selecting the strongest genotypes. The canonical variables were useful to group the genotypes that presented similar physiological characteristics. The genotypes MPA 01 x Pixurum 05, MPA 01 x AS1565, MPA 01 x SJC5886, SJC5886 x Pixurum 05 and Fundacep 35 x SCS 154 Fortuna were the best crossbreeds regarding the production of better physiological quality seeds.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine adequate conditions of water volume, seed quantity and immersion period to perform the electrical conductivity test, and to analyze the parameters of the accelerated aging test and its correlation with the the physiological potential of amaranth seeds. Five lots of amaranth seeds (Amaranthus cruentus), cultivar BRS Alegria, were used. The initial evaluation of the quality of these lots comprehended the following tests: water content, germination, first germination count, accelerated aging (traditional method, and modified versions, using unsaturated and saturated saline solution for the periods of 24, 48 and 72 h), electrical conductivity in different periods (2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h), different quantities of water (25, 50 and 75 mL), different seed quantities (100 and 150), and field emergence. It could be concluded that the accelerated aging test at 41 °C, for 72 h, using unsaturated NaCl solution was efficient in the classification of amaranth seed lots in levels of vigor. The electrical conductivity test performed for 8 hours with 25 mL of water and 100 seeds was efficient in the classification of amaranth seeds as to their physiological potential.

Weathering Resistance

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a resistência ao intemperismo artificial de quatro revestimentos aplicados nas madeiras de duas espécies florestais. Para tal, foram utilizadas seis árvores de Eucalyptus grandis e três árvores de Tetrorchidium rubrivenium as quais foram desdobradas para confecção de 50 amostras para cada espécie, com dimensões de 5,0x7,0x1,0cm (largura, comprimento e espessura, respectivamente). A superfície das madeiras foi revestida com quatro acabamentos: polistein, verniz marítimo, tinta branca base óleo e tinta branca base água. As amostras sem revestimento e revestidas foram submetidas ao ensaio de envelhecimento acelerado durante 480 horas. A resistência ao intemperismo artificial foi avaliada por meio das modificações colorimétricas e morfológicas ao longo da exposição das madeiras e em função da molhabilidade superficial. Os principais resultados mostraram que a superfície das madeiras  tendeu a tons opacos após exposição de 480 horas. Foi observado que os revestimentos não evitaram o aumento da molhabilidade superficial. Após todo o período de exposição, as madeiras não apresentaram modificações morfológicas tais como rachaduras e descascamento dos revestimentos, o que denota importante característica de proteção à madeira.Palavras-chave: Eucalyptus, canemaçu, modificação da superfície, envelhecimento acelerado, durabilidade da madeira. ARTIFICIAL WEATHERING OF FOUR COATINGS APPLIED ON WOODS OF TWO FOREST SPECIES ABSTRACT:The present study aimed to investigate the resistance to artificial weathering of four coatings applied on wood from two forest species. Six trees of Eucalyptus grandis and three trees of Tetrorchidium rubrivenium were cut to produce 50 wood samples for each species with dimensions of 5.0x7.0x1.0 cm (width, length and thickness, respectively). Wood surface was coated with four finishing products: polistein, marine varnish, oil-based white paint and water-based white paint. The uncoated and coated wood samples were subjected to accelerated aging test for 480h. The artificial weathering resistance was evaluated by color changes and surface wettability. The main results showed the coated woods tend to opaque tones after the exposure for 480h. The coatings did not avoid the increase of the surface wettability. After the exposure, both woods did not present morphological changes, such as cracks and peeling into the coatings, which represent relevant characteristics for wood protection.Keywords: Eucalyptus, canemaçu, surface modification, accelerated aging, wood durability. DOI:
