... (SnO₂) and nano-titanium dioxide (TiO₂), which can reduce the temperature of solar cells. Design/methodology/approach The thermal-insulation coating is designed using sol-gel process. The aminopropyltriethoxysilane/methyltrimethoxysilane binder system improves the cross-linking between...

... organic binders and to study the coating effects on the performance of solar cell in terms of temperature and efficiency. Design/methodology/approach Nano-TiO₂ coatings are developed in two types of binder networks; the combination of methyltrimethoxy silane (MTMS) and nitric acid...

...Zhiling Ma; Yanjun Qiao; Fei Xie; Xianling Wang; Jing Wang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of encapsulation temperature on the preparation of silica-encapsulated waterborne aluminium pigments. Design/methodology/approach The waterborne aluminium pigments were prepared...

... and the laser particle analysis, respectively. TGA, FTIR, XPS and differential scanning calorimetry were used to investigate the deblocking temperature and time of the blocked isocyanate in detail. Findings – The results indicated that the blocking rate was approximately 97 per cent and the average...

... against polar water, moderate polar ethylene glycol and non‐polar dioxane. FTIR spectra were recorded using M/s Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, IR‐Prestige 21 in Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) mode in the wave number range of 4,000‐450 cm⁻¹ at room temperature. The resolution was 4...

... at various temperatures and subjected to various freeze‐thaw cycles. Various characterisations including water absorption, bending strength and stiffness, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope imaging were performed. Findings High temperatures accelerated the water...

...Graham Sewell The minimum film forming temperature (MFFT) has been described as “the minimum temperature at which a waterborne synthetic latex or emulsion will coalesce when laid on a substrate as a thin film”. If there are no pigments present, such materials will form a smooth, clear, transparent...
