21. Characterizing the Non-Linear Viscoelastic Properties of Sealant Including the Mullins Effect
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 9/23/2008
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston
Abstract: Quantification of the mechanical properties, such as the non-linear viscoelastic behavior, for a cured sealant is complicated by the presence of the Mullins Effect. The Mullins Effect, commonly observed in elastomers, refers to an observed increase ...

22. Mechanisms of Moisture Attack in Adhesive bonds Exposed to High Humidity
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 7/23/2008
Authors: Kar Tean Tan, Christopher C White, Cyril Clerici, Donald Lee Hunston, Bryan D. Vogt, Sushil K. Satija, Joshua E. Goldman, Kristen L Steffens
Abstract: Studies have show that certain adhesive joints exhibit a dramatic loss of strength when exposed to humidities above a certain critical value. Although much is know about this effect, questions still exist. This study combines neutron reflectivity e ...

23. Interfacial Characterization of Multiple Layer Coatings on Thermoplastic Olefins (TPO)
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 5/30/2008
Authors: Aaron M Forster, Chris A Michaels, Justin Lucas, Li Piin Sung
Abstract: Thermoplastic olefins (TPO) have made significant inroads as polymeric materials for interior and exterior automotive parts. Spray applied chlorinated polyolefins (CPO) are often used to improve paint adhesion to the low surface energy TPO substrate ...

24. ADHESION TEST METHOD FOR SPRAYED APPLIED FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 3/12/2008
Authors: Christopher C White, Kar Tean Tan, Donald Lee Hunston
Abstract: Fire resistive materials are exceptional at providing an effective thermal barrier to structural steel from the heat flux from a fire, provided it is in close proximity to the steel during the fire event. The adhesion of the fire resistive materials ...

25. Measuring the Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites: Potential Complications From the Mullins Effect
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 9/20/2006
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston
Abstract: Quantification of mechanical properties, such as non-linear viscoelastic behavior, for filled elastomers (model nanocomposites) is complicated by the presence of the Mullins effect. This paper examines the potential complications due to the Mullins ...

26. Studies on the Effect of Movement During the Cure on the Mechanical Properties of Sealand
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 2/8/2004
Authors: Christopher C White, Donald Lee Hunston, R S Williams
Abstract: A novel sealant-testing device was used to con-tinuously monitor the mechanical properties of a one part silicone sealant for movement cycles initiated from 10 h to 168 h after sample creation. These cure times fall between the proposed RILEM TC-139 ...

27. Reliability-Based Method for Service Life Prediction of Materials
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 9/17/2003
Authors: Christopher C White, Jonathan W. (Jonathan W.) Martin, S F Weber, L Shultz
Abstract: Standard test methods, such as ASTM C719, evaluate sealant performance though threshold test measurements. This method and its derivatives do not offer reliable predictions of in-service performance. This presentation will detail efforts to move aw ...

28. The Economics of New-Technology Materials: A Case Study of FRP Bridge Decking
Series: NIST Interagency/Internal Report (NISTIR)
Report Number: 5864
Topic: Building Materials
Published: 7/1/1996
Authors: M A Ehlen, Harold E. Marshall
Abstract: Many new materials are bing developed from polymers, metals, and ceramics. Industry is beginning to introduce some of these high-performance or new-technology materials in construction and manufacturing applications because the materials have advant ...
