Establishes the performance, design development, and test requirements for the Special Protective Coating. The system engineering approach was used to develop this document in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the Systems Engineering Management Plan for Project W-314. Document [...]Abstract
The durability of materials used in buildings has been widely studied and, in many cases, there are standards to assess it. However, studies on how pathologies affect the durability and comfort of the building users are not so common. The aim of this article is to explain different [...]Abstract
Polyurethane composite coatings are frequently applied to strengthen the barrier properties of various construction materials such as wood, metal and concrete. The changes of color and glossiness of the composite coatings for building materials proceeds more slowly than that of polyurethane [...]Abstract
In countries with transition economies a common serious challenge relating to vehicle transport is the increasing shortage of high octane gasoline and its inherent low quality. The aim of this work is to develop a low cost, rapidimplementation method aimed at reducing a vehicle engine's [...]Abstract
Composite profiles processed by pultrusion are replacing metallic profiles in sectors like building or automotive, due to two interested properties: lightweight (the gas consumtion of the vehicle will be reduced) and corrosion resistance. However, if the profile needs to be covered [...]
