After subjecting Zamora building stones to accelerated ageing tests, colour changes were studied, namely: (a) freezing/thawing and thermal shock (gelifraction and thermoclasty), and (b) combination of freezing/thawing plus thermal shock and salt crystall...

Three different coated steel systems were aged in natural or artificial seawater, in neutral salt spray (NSS), and using alternate immersion tests in order to evaluate the aggressiveness of the different ageing conditions. Commercial epoxy coatings were ...

We have developed a technology of hardening for current collectors of lead-acid accumulator batteries for transport. The technology provides direct casting, rolling and artificial ageing (dispersion hardening) of lead alloy strips. This technology also p...

The limited durability of clear coatings is a major issue for the coating and wood industry. The addition of organic UV absorbers improves coating resistance by the absorption and the conversion of the UV radiation into harmless heat. Organic UVAs are pr...

The durability of anti-graffiti coatings is of special relevance since, unlike other protective treatments, they are not only affected by environmental factors, but also by often aggressive cleaning procedures. However, little is known about the long-ter...

Graffiti are increasingly observed on urban and peri-urban buildings and their removal requires a huge financial outlay by local governments and agencies. Graffiti are not usually removed immediately, but rather over the passage of time, viz. months or e...

The prevention of falls in older people requires the identification of the most important risk factors. Frailty is associated with risk of falls, but not all falls are of the same nature. In this work, we utilised data from The Irish Longitudinal Study o...

One of the main functions of renders, together with the overall aesthetic appearance of the building, is the protection of the walls against external aggressive actions, such as water, salts solutions, erosion, and mechanical impacts. However, some anoma...
