Validation of the Receprocity Law for Coating Photodegradation

October 20, 2004
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, Tinh Nguyen, Jonathan W. Martin, E Byrd
Accelerating the photodegradation of commerical polymeric materials has great practical importance in the weathering community. However, questions exist as to whether high radiant flux exposure results cn be extrapolated to in-service exposure levels

A Photoconductivity Technique for the Assessment of Pigment Reactivity

November 19, 2003
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, S J. Scierka, T Kim, Amanda L. Forster
Large volumes of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are utilized each year in coatings, sealants, plastics and paper for opacification and pigmentation purposes. It is well known that the photoreactivity of TiO2 can contribute to the degradation of the material that

Accelerated UV Weathering Device Based on Integrating Sphere Technology

November 1, 2003
Author(s)
Joannie W. Chin, E Byrd, E Embree, Jason D. Garver, B Dickens, T Finn, Jonathan W. Martin
An accelerated ultraviolet (UV) weathering device based on integrating sphere technology has been designed, fabricated, and implemented in weathering studies of polymers. This device has the capability of irradiating multiple speciments with exptremely

Reciprocity Law Experiments in Polymeric Photodegradation: A Critical Review

September 1, 2003
Author(s)
Jonathan W. Martin, Joannie W. Chin, Tinh Nguyen
celerating the photodegradation of polymeric materials is of great interest in weathering research. One way of achieving acceleration is by exposing polymeric materials to a high radiant flux, but questions have arisen as to whether high radiant flux
