Service life prediction of polymeric materials: global perspectives

‘Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials: Global Perspectives’ combines developed content derived from topics discussed in the Fourth International Symposium on Service Life Prediction (Key Largo, Florida, December 2006). Thiscritical examination of the existing and alternative methodologies used to assess the service life of polymeric materials presents readers with the advances in accelerated and field exposure testing protocols. Written by established experts in the service life community, this volume introduces advanced methods, including high throughput and combinatorial analyses, models data collectionand storage formats. Researchers and engineers involved with materials and polymer science, coatings technologists and automotive materials will find ‘Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials: Global Perspectives’ a useful toolCulminates more than two decades of intensive work, at industrial and government research laboratories, on key issues of service life prediction for polymeric materials Discusses strategies for implementing these advances and identifies outstanding scientific issues that need to be addressed INDICE: From the contents Linking Accelerating Laboratory Test with Outdoor Performance Results for a Model Epoxy Coating System.- A Statistical Model for Linking Field and Laboratory Exposure Results for a Model Coating.- Advances in Exploring Mechanistic Variations in Thermal Aging of Polymers.- Final Report on the Subject of Accelerated Weathering: An ASTM D01.53 10-Year Exposure Study.- An Analysis of the Effect of Irradiance on the Weathering of PolymericMaterials.- Degradation of Polypropylene Filament Under Elevated Temperature and High Oxygen Pressure.- A New Approach to Characterizing Weathering Reciprocity in Xenon Arc Weathering Devices.- Risk Analysis for Pipeline Assets – Theuse of Models for Failure Prediction in Plastics Pipelines.- Controlled Temperature Natural Weathering.- A New Test Method for Weatherability Prediction: Radical Shower using a Remote Plasma Reactor.- Durability of Building Joint Sealants.- The Influence of Water on the Weathering of Automotive Paint Systems.
