ABSTRACT: Structures such as OLEDs, perovskite solar cells, intumescent glasses, and other components in modern devices and buildings contain materials suscep-tible to degradation when exposed to UV radiation, requiring protection to with-stand outdoor environmental conditions. In this work, multilayer coating config-ured as a Bragg Reflector on glass is employed as spectral filtering to protect the intumescent...
ABSTRACT: Steel structural systems in modular construction must be protected against corrosion and fire exposure. The durability of both protective properties plays a key role in ensuring long-term service life and minimizing maintenance costs. The present work aims to validate anticorrosive protection systems for steel structures, with and without fire protection properties, evaluating degradation mechanisms a...
RESUMO: As tintas espectralmente seletivas surgem como alternativa aos revestimentos seletivos obtidos por métodos de deposição a vácuo para sistemas de energia solar térmica. Um dos benefícios da sua utilização é a possibilidade de recurso a técnicas de aplicação e manutenção mais simples, disponibilidade comercial a mais baixo custo e elevada durabilidade/proteção anticorrosiva. Existem apenas algumas tintas ...
ABSTRACT: Selective absorber coatings for solar thermal collectors and reflector coatings for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are the key components of these technologies and their durability is one of their most important characteristics. They should be low cost and withstand 20-30 years under different kinds of environments without significant loss of optical performance. Commercially, there are differ...
