Testing e validazione comparativa di coating idrofobizzanti per superfici in gelcoat
2021
Nell’industria delle telecomunicazioni a supporto del settore aerospaziale, il mantenimento dell’efficacia e della sicurezza delle trasmissioni in condizioni ambientali estreme assume un’importanza crescente, in funzione della sempre maggiore diffusione dei siti trasmittenti/riceventi, operativi su scala planetaria. In questa cornice, si richiede che gli elementi a protezione dei dispositivi installati si dimostrino durevoli nel tempo anche quando esposti ad abbondanti precipitazioni, accumuli nevosi continuati o stratificazioni di ghiaccio, e improvvisi shock termici, garantendo nel contempo la fedeltà della trasmissione. Una marcata idrofobicità degli strati esterni delle coperture risult…
Experimental Procedures of Accelerated Aging and Evaluation of Effectiveness of Nanostructured Products for the Protection of Volterra (Italy) Panchi…
2022
The aims of the research were to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of nanostructured products on Volterra calcarenite stone and to define the experimental conditions and procedures of accelerated aging tests, able to simulate different degradation on the studied lithotype. The work focused on methods of performing accelerated aging tests in order to simulate different effects of environmental decay involving stone used on a historical site. The rock samples were examined before and after three treatment types: cyclic salt spray chamber, cycles of freezing–thawing and cycles of thermal shock. After each artificial aging cycle, changes in appearance were noted and chemical and phy…
Development of Eco-Friendly and Self-Cleaning Lime-Pozzolan Plasters for Bio-Construction and Cultural Heritage
2020
Summarization: Nowadays, the design and use of multi-functional mortars has increased significantly, with interesting applications in the green building and cultural heritage conservation sectors. A key point for a correct adoption of these innovative materials is their behavior along time and their resistance to the weathering. The objective of this project was to define the performance and durability of innovative mortars, in order to use them correctly and to avoid irreparable damage over time. For the development of this project, lime–metakaolin and hydraulic lime–metakaolin based mortars (hereinafter called A, B), as well as A and B with the addition of nano-TiO2 and perlite (hereinaft…
Bio-inspired consolidants derived from crystalline nanocellulose for decayed wood
2018
Abstract Novel bio-inspired materials derived from crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) have been tested as wood consolidants. A suspension of CNC, produced by acid hydrolysis of cellulose and used as such or mixed with lignin and/or siloxane derivatives (PDMS), was applied on rotted wood samples of Norway spruce. X-Ray diffraction analysis on CNC powder showed high crystallinity index. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement indicated a nearly uniform particle size distribution with an average hydrodynamic diameter for pure CNC smaller than that in the mixtures. Raman and FTIR spectroscopies suggested interactions between lignin, PDMS and CNC components. The storage modulus of wood samples, …
