Thermal resistance of coatings

The thermal resistance of coated fabrics with or without microcapsules was measured by Zuckerman et al." The thermal resistance of coated fabrics with microcapsules is higher than that of untreated fabrics the results are listed in Tables 3.5 and 3.6. That is mainly due to the action of binder that seals the cloth pore of the fabric.

Thermal resistance of coatings is the total resistance of all coatings. This is simply the sum of all coatings calculated separately. The general equation to calculate a single layer resistance is... 

Thermal—Oxidative-Resistance Coatings. The thermal stabihty of coatings produced by either covalendy or noncovalendy incorporating 2,4-dinitroaniline into an inorganic siUcate network and coating it onto a sapphire substrate has been examined (67). Although some increase in the thermal... 

The thermal resistance of the circular hotplate was measured to be 5.8 °C/mW for the coated and uncoated transducer. An increased thermal resistance is desirable for sensor arrays with one approach being the reduction of the heated membrane area. At the moment the smallest possible diameter of drop-deposited tin-oxide is 100 pm. A microhotplate with a heated area of 100 pm in diameter was fabricated and featured an increased thermal resistance of approximately 10 °C/mW. 

It is necessary to thermally cure the coated plastic in order to achieve full crosslinking of the air dried film. The degree of crosslinking affects not only the abrasion resistance of coating, but also the adhesion and the long term performance under environmental conditions. The temperature and time of cure is also dictated by the thermal stability and properties of the plastic substrate. The following table lists recommended cures for various plastics.

The core with coated particle fuel has low stored heat, since the temperature of fuel is only 10-15°C higher than that of the surrounding coolant, due to an extremely large heat exchange surface and small thermal resistance of the coated particles. For such a core, there are practically no limits related to critical heat flux or DNB. 

Several additional compounds may be added to the basic components to improve fire protection in intumescent coating formulations. For example, vitrifying agents can increase the thermal resistance of the intumescent char, whereas nucleating additives can help to control cell size in the char [1,2]. 

In order to measure the basic and dynamic thermal resistance, Pause designed a measurement method the basic arrangement of the measuring apparatus is presented in Fig. 3.3. The thermal resistance of the coated fabrics with microcapsules is shown in Table 3.6. The total thermal insulation values obtained for the coated fabrics with microcapsules containing linear chain hydrocarbon compared to the thermal insulation of the materials without microcapsules are shown in Fig. 3.4. 

Ziac foil coated with a conductive, pressure-sensitive adhesive is used for repair of other ziac coatings or for imparting corrosion resistance at field sites. The 0.08-mm ziac tape or sheet has a 0.025-mm coaductive adhesive. The laminate is cut to size and pressed tightly to activate the adhesive. Conductive tape can be wrapped around pipe, especially around welds or connections. The corrosion resistance of this material is iatermediate between galvanized or thermally sprayed coatings and zinc-filled paints (21,50). 

Fretting corrosion (36,37) can lead to high contact resistance of base metal contacts, such as tin plate in electronic connectors. Small cycHcal displacements of the connector halves occur because of external vibration or differential thermal expansion and contraction of the mating contacts. The wear debris that is formed remains in the contact zone. The accumulation of oxide debris in the contact region leads to increased contact resistance. Solutions to this problem are stmctures that do not permit movement of contact surfaces with respect to one another, the use of gold as a contact finish, and the appHcation of thick coatings of contact lubricants and greases, which reduce the rate of wear and restrict access of air to the contact surfaces. 

The thermal stabiUty of epoxy phenol—novolak resins is useful in adhesives, stmctural and electrical laminates, coatings, castings, and encapsulations for elevated temperature service (Table 3). Filament-wound pipe and storage tanks, liners for pumps and other chemical process equipment, and corrosion-resistant coatings are typical appHcations using the chemically resistant properties of epoxy novolak resins.
