Paint Coating Removal by Heating for High-Strength Bolted Joints in Steel Bridge and Its Influence on Bolt Axial Force

A series of experiments were carried out for developing a paint coating removal method for high-strength bolted joints in steel bridges. The paint-coated bolted joint specimens were heated to the target temperature of 200 °C by using a sheet-type ceramic heater. The maximum temperature of specimens could be controlled within 10% of the target value. The paint coating was easily removed by using general tools after heating. The behaviour of bolts with thermal expansion and shrinkage was monitored by strain gauges attached to the bolts during heating. It was estimated that the axial forces of the bolts were reduced by 2.6% of the initially installed axial forces, on average.

Effect of Cathode Waste Material Concentration in Conductive Paint Coating

The conductive paint coating can be used to control the electromagnetic interference in electronic application. Conductive paint coating was made by mixing the epoxy and hardener with cathode waste material (CWM) in order to manipulate their properties. In this study, the conductivity and the thickness of the paint has been studied. The thickness of conductive paint coating was depends on the agglomeration of CWM content. The increasing of wt% of CWM, the thickness of paint is increasing. Bruker D2Phaser X-Ray diffraction has been used in order to get the phase analysis of the paint before and after soaking into Potassium Hydroxide solution

Preparation of Colored Microcapsule Phase Change Materials with Colored SiO2 Shell for Thermal Energy Storage and Their Application in Latex Paint Coating

This article reports the design and manufacture of colored microcapsules with specific functions and their application in architectural interior wall coating. Utilizing reactive dyes grafted SiO2 shell to encapsulate paraffin through interfacial polymerization and chemical grafting methods, this experiment successfully synthesized paraffin@SiO2 colored microcapsules. The observations of surface morphology demonstrated that the colored microcapsules had a regular spherical morphology and a well-defined core-shell structure. The analysis of XRD and FT-IR confirmed the presence of amorphous SiO2 shell and the grafting reactive dyes, and the paraffin possessed high crystallinity. Compared with pristine paraffin, the thermal conductivity of paraffin@SiO2 colored microcapsules was significantly enhanced. The results of DSC revealed that the paraffin@SiO2 colored microcapsules performed high encapsulation efficiency and desirable latent heat storage capability. Besides, the examinations of UV-vis and TGA showed that the paraffin@SiO2 colored microcapsules exhibited good thermal reliability, thermal stability, and UV protection property. The analysis of infrared imaging indicated that the prepared latex paint exhibited remarkable temperature-regulated property. Compared with normal interior wall coatings, the temperature was reduced by about 2.5 °C. With such incomparable features, the paraffin@SiO2 colored microcapsules not only appeared well in their solar thermal energy storage and temperature-regulated property, but also make the colored latex paint coating have superb colored fixing capabilities.

Eco-friendly Alkyd Resins Based on Vegetable Oil: Review

The alkyd resin industry currently needs environmentally friendly raw materials, which emphasized the aspect of sustainability. Alkyd resin is a polymer product with oil as raw material which is widely used in the paint, coating, and other industries. The abundant demand for alkyd resin has led to a diversification of the raw material for alkyd resin from vegetable oils. The advantages of vegetable oil include being a renewable energy source for industry, sustainability, biodegradability, and being environmentally friendly as important considerations for the industry in recent times. This paper examines alkyd resins derived from several vegetable oils that are environmentally friendly. Alkyd resin is prepared by alcoholysis and esterification. Based on several studies of alkyd resins, there have been many modifications to the raw materials, technology, and catalysts used which can refer to an environmentally friendly and affordable industry.Keywords: alkyd resin; biodegradability; environmentally friendly; sustainability; vegetable oilA B S T R A KIndustri polimer pada masa ini membutuhkan bahan baku yang ramah lingkungan, yang menekankan pada keberlanjutan.
