Studying Long-term Performance of a Nano-ZnO filled Waterborne Polyurethane Coating using Spectroscopies and Microscopies

September 9, 2009
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, Dongmei Zhe, Stephanie S. Watson, Guodong Chen, Minhua Zhao, Paul E. Stutzman, Deborah S. Jacobs, Tinh Nguyen, Joannie W. Chin, Jonathan W. Martin
Although inorganic UV absorbers such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and cerium oxide (CeO2) exhibit numerous advantages compared to organic UV absorbers, the mechanisms of how these nanoparticles affect the long-term performance of polymeric coatings are less than

Virtual Cement and Concrete

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, Chiara C. Ferraris, Edward Garboczi, Nicos Martys, Paul E. Stutzman, Judith E. Terrill
Design and optimization of cement or concrete mixes typically is accomplished by intensive trial-and-error experimentation, primarily because the design space has many parameters and because interactions between these parameters are incompletely understood

Long-Term Performance of Nano-Filled Polymeric Materials: Effect of ZnO Nanoparticles on Photodegradation of a Waterborne Polyurethane Coating

July 8, 2009

Xiaohong Gu, Dongmei Zhe, Minhua Zhao, Guodong Chen, Nhieu Ly, Paul E. Stutzman, Li Piin Sung, Tinh Nguyen, Joannie W. Chin
Polymers are widely used as exterior coatings in buildings, bridges, aircrafts and automobiles for both protection and aesthetic purposes. However, the service life of the applied coatings is limited due to the photodegradation of polymers induced by

Cement and Concrete Materials Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Edward J. Garboczi, Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Chiara F. Ferraris, Nicos Martys, Max A. Peltz, Sudalin Rodrigues, Paul E. Stutzman, Kenneth A. Snyder, John A. Winpigler
The materials science of cement and concrete is the focus of the Inorganic Materials Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These experimental and computational research efforts include component and finished materials

Curing, Hydration, and Microstructure of Cement Paste

September 13, 2006
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Paul E. Stutzman
This paper compares the hydration characteristics and microstructures of cement pastes with water-to-cement ratios (w/c) of 0.35 and 0.435, cured under saturated and sealed conditions. Degree of hydration is quantified by loss on ignition measurements. The

Virtual Testing of Cement and Concrete

Concrete is a unique multi-phase, random, complex, and composite material that provides both strength and impermeability to engineered structures. Unlike most construction materials, the properties of concrete continue to develop over time and in place an
