Abstract:

The topic of this thesis is the protection of surface through UV cured polymeric coatings. In the first part coatings are designed to inhibit the adhesion of microorganisms on different substrate, while in the last chapter the coatings are developed to protect clay bricks from water. Degradation of surfaces caused by biofouling is a common issue in a variety of application, such as naval equipment, food industry and biomedical implants. In clay bricks, in addiction to biodegradation, the water causes other aesthetical and functional degradation phenomena, such as delamination, cracking, efflor

Thesis (MTech (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology.<br>For the last few decades, methods to improve the engine efficiency and reduce the fuel consumption of jet engines have received increased attention. One of the solutions is to increase the operating temperature in order to increase the exhaust gas temperature, resulting in an increased engine power. However, this approach can be degrading for some engine parts such as turbine blades, which are required to operate in a very hostile environment (at ≈ 90% of their melting point temperature).

This wireless sensor network consists of two parts: impedance-based wireless sensor nodes and a wireless data base that are equipped with a network analyzer (AD5933) and a RF transceiver (CC1111/CC1110).

Sacrificial metallic coatings have been used in the past, for protecting steel in industrial and urban developments. It has been suggested that thermally sprayed aluminium coatings, immersed in marine environments, are also capable of protecting steel by providing galvanic protection. Researchers have also speculated that the growth of inert oxide products, on top of the coating as well as inside pores and cracks, could enhance even further its protective “shielding” properties. In addition, the self-healing abilities of the coatings, in case of mechanically induce damage, are still a matter o

Marine biofouling is the accumulation of organisms onto surfaces immersed in sea water. Fouling of ships causes an increase in hydrodynamic drag which leads to performance issues such as increased fuel consumption and a reduced top operating speed. Fouling-release (FR) coatings are one way that paints have been used in combating biofouling by allowing for the easy removal of settled organisms. Traditional FR coatings are silicone elastomers which are soft, easily damaged, and require a tie coat for adhesion to marine primers. Siloxanepolyurethane FR coatings have shown promise as

The ingress of carbon dioxide and chloride ions into reinforced concrete can cause corrosion of the steel reinforcement. Cracks and poor quality cover can accelerate this process. Coating the surface of the concrete can increase the life of the structure.

If the coating itself is damaged by substrate cracking then the coating becomes less effective as it no longer provides a barrier to the deleterious agents. There are currently few meth
