Abstract Accelerated aging in an oven, heated to a more or less elevated temperature, is one of the most valuable tests at the disposal of the rubber technologist for examining the behavior of different compounds in practical use. Geer in 1916 described a now well-established oven test at 160° F., he and Evans giving more details in 1921. In this latter paper they stated in particular that with proper use of their test, one day in the oven could be taken as equal to six months of natural life. Other attempts to foretell more exactly the natural life of rubber from accelerated aging data have proved useless. The figures obtained for life at different temperatures are not always in the same ratio, so that calculation of the corresponding times at room temperature depends on the temperature used in the heat test. This has been shown in experimental work of many authors, particularly Williams and Neal, Milligan and Shaw, Bierer and Davis, and Somerville and Russell. The matter has been thoroughly discussed in a “Symposium on Aging” presented before the New York Rubber Group of the American Chemical Society in 1929.

Abstract The work described below was carried out as a first step in determining whether an oxygen-bomb test at room temperature could be used as an accelerated aging test for unvulcanized rubber compositions, e.g., as used on surgical and adhesive plasters and for combining shoe fabrics, because a high-temperature test is unsatisfactory in such cases, owing to the melting of the compositions. The only infallible way of assessing the value of an accelerated test for such compositions is by comparison with natural aging, but as this is a very lengthy process and as the deterioration is difficult to measure quantitatively, it was decided to make preliminary tests on the effect of high oxygen concentration at room temperature by using vulcanized rubber. Although the results proved to be negative so far as the original purpose of the work was concerned, it is considered of interest to place them on record in view of the prominence given in some papers on aging to the relationship between oxygen concentration and rate of oxidation and deterioration of rubber. A mix composed of rubber 100, sulfur 3, zinc oxide 5, stearic acid 1, and diphenylguanidine 0.75, was vulcanized for 30 minutes at 153° C. Tensile tests, using standard ring-specimens and the Schopper machine, were made on unaged specimens and on specimens that had been aged (1) in an oxygen bomb at 300 lb. per sq. in. oxygen pressure and at room temperature (about 10° C), (2) in a Geer oven at 70° C. Four rings were used for each test, the tensile strength and breaking elongation figures quoted being the average for the two rings giving the highest tensile strength, and the figures for the elongations at constant loads the average of all four rings.

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:
