The effect of mineral filler compounds on vapor permeability and hygroscopic properties of water-based polymer dispersions and the possibility of their use as decorative and protective material for stucco facades finishing was studied. According to Facade Protection Theory (H.M. Künzel), the assessment criterion was vapor permeability and water vapor diffusivity. The pairwise correlation of building physical properties of water-based polymer dispersions in the coordinates of Künzel's diagram clearly demonstrates that, in terms of hygroscopic, all the samples studied correspond to the low hygroscopic class, and in terms of vapor, they are close to high water vapour diffusion rate class.

AbstractThermally driven water-based sorption refrigeration is considered a promising strategy to realize near-zero-carbon cooling applications by addressing the urgent global climate challenge caused by conventional chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants. However, developing cost-effective and high-performance water-sorption porous materials driven by low-temperature thermal energy is still a significant challenge. Here, we propose a zeolite-like aluminophosphate with SFO topology (EMM-8) for water-sorption-driven refrigeration. The EMM-8 is characterized by 12-membered ring channels with large accessible pore volume and exhibits high water uptake of 0.28 g·g−1 at P/P0 = 0.2, low-temperature regeneration of 65 °C, fast adsorption kinetics, remarkable hydrothermal stability, and scalable fabrication. Importantly, the water-sorption-based chiller with EMM-8 shows the potential of achieving a record coefficient of performance (COP) of 0.85 at an ultralow-driven temperature of 63 °C. The working performance makes EMM-8 a practical alternative to realize high-efficient ultra-low-temperature-driven refrigeration.

The performance of a flexible and glass dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with water-based electrolyte solutions is described. High concentrations of alkylamidazoliums were used to overcome the deleterious effect of water and, based on this variable, pure water-based electrolyte DSSCs were tested displaying the highest recorded efficiency so far of 3.45% and 6% for flexible and glass cells, respectively, under a simulated air mass 1.5 solar spectrum illumination at 100 mWcm−2. An improvement in the Jsc with high water content and the positive impact of GuSCN on the enhancement of the performance of pure water-based electrolytes were also observed.

This paper studies the tribological properties of the ZrO2-coated spherical joint pair of the axial piston pump in a high water-based emulsion medium. Firstly, atmospheric plasma spraying was used to prepare the ZrO2 coating on the surface of the spherical joint pair. Secondly, the tribological characteristics of the steel-steel pair and ceramic-ceramic pair were analyzed by the friction and wear testing machine under the conditions of a high water-based emulsion concentration, load size, and load frequency. White light interference three-dimensional surface profiler and scanning electron microscope were used to analyze the original and worn surfaces of the samples, and then the friction and wear of the different material pairs were discussed. The results show that the friction reduction and wear resistance of the ceramic ball joint are superior to those of the steel ball joint. When the load is 100 N, the frequency is 1 Hz, and the emulsion concentration is 5%, and the friction coefficient and wear loss of the ceramic-ceramic ball joint pair are the lowest. The emulsion concentration and load have great influence on the friction coefficient and wear amount, while the frequency has little influence on them. With increasing concentration of the emulsion, the friction coefficient decreases and tends to be stable, but with increasing of load, the friction coefficient and wear increase. The friction coefficient and wear loss of the ceramic-ceramic ball joint in pure water are 0.25 times higher than those of the steel ball joint under the same working conditions. Therefore, when the concentration of the high water-based emulsion is 5%, 100 N load, 1 Hz frequency, the ceramic-ceramic ball joints display the best friction and wear resistance of the two. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the design, manufacture, and application of the ceramic coating hydraulic components in a high water-based emulsion medium.

The present study shows the optimization of mineral filler blends for use in water-based paints. The aim of the modelling is to evaluate the possibility of creating a model of prediction of the contrast ratio and brightness of the dry film, where the fillers that participate in the system are fillers used commercially by the paint industry. The differential of the use of the mixtures design, called Simplex, is that the predictions are made by carrying out a linear combination between the proportions of the mineral fillers and the response variables. The proposed procedure consists in generating a numerical model that can predict final paint properties depending on the concentrations of the mineral fillers (PCC, GCC and kaolin) used. As support for simplex mixture design, the methods of Partial Least Squares regression and Response Surface were used in the calculations of the models and in the visualization of the response variables.

Composite films were fabricated by using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as reinforcement up to 50 wt% in thermoplastic starch (TPS). Structure and interactions were modified by using different types (glycerol and sorbitol) and different amounts (30 and 40%) of plasticizers. The structure of the composites was characterized by visible spectroscopy, Haze index measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. Tensile properties were determined by tensile testing, and the effect of CNC content on vapor permeability was investigated. Although all composite films are transparent and can hardly be distinguished by human eyes, the addition of CNCs somewhat decreases the transmittance of the films. This can be related to the increased light scattering of the films, which is caused by the aggregation of nanocrystals, leading to the formation of micron-sized particles. Nevertheless, strength is enhanced by CNCs, mostly in the composite series prepared with 30% sorbitol. Additionally, the relatively high water vapor permeability of TPS is considerably decreased by the incorporation of at least 20 wt% CNCs. Reinforcement is determined mostly by the competitive interactions among starch, nanocellulose, and plasticizer molecules. The aging of the films is caused by the additional water uptake from the atmosphere and the retrogradation of starch.
