Cathodic Nanocoating Technology for Corrosion Control of Steel Structures

Cathodic Nanocoating Technology for Corrosion Control of Steel Structures

In 2000 the National Science Foundation estimated that the market for nanotechnology products will be over one trillion US dollars by 2015 and that the industry would employ over 200 million workers. These numbers have been subsequently quoted from funding applications to government policy documents, but at the halfway point many of the revolutionary and disruptive technologies predicted have failed to emerge. Indeed, seven years on from the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, there appears to be little sign of a nanotechnology-based industry, although significant amounts of R&D are being undertaken by various industries.

These numbers have been subsequently quoted from funding applications to government policy documents, but at the halfway point many of the revolutionary and disruptive technologies predicted have failed to emerge. Indeed, seven years on from the inception of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, there appears to be little sign of a nanotechnology-based industry, although significant amounts of R&D are being undertaken by various industries. Carbon nanotechnologies are gaining in commercial introductions. In the short term, nanoparticles are being introduced into many existing materials, making them stronger or changing their conductive properties. Significantly stronger polymers will make plastics more widely used to reinforce materials and replace metals, even in the semi-conductor area. Carbon nanotubes are novel, manipulated atomic- or molecular-scale carbon structures that exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties; they are also efficient conductors of heat. So strong are tiny carbon nanotubes—each is a mere 1 to 100 nanometers in length (1 nanometer equals one billionth of a meter)—that their bonding structure is stronger than the bonds found in diamonds. "Nanotubes naturally align themselves into 'ropes' held together by Van der Waals forces," referring to the attractions among atoms, molecules, and surfaces that result from the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles.

Cleaning and Painting Techniques and Practices used on Commercial Stores

Product Number: 41211-626-SG
Author: James Loukusa
Publication Date: 2011
$20.00

The following describes some equipment and practices used for cleaning and painting the variety of substrates found on commercial stores: concrete masonry units (CMU), precast and tilt-up panels, steel awnings and canopies, Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS), and polycarbonate. Many contributing factors can create either a fairly straightforward and simple process or a very complex project.

Case Study: Bridging the Gap: The Construction of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge: Temporary Colloring to Cure COncrete on a 210 ft. / 40’ Wide Span

The construction of a major project such as a bridge can often provide significant challenges to say the least. These challenges are not always within the physical building or logistics of the bridge but often can be material related. One such challenge can be the curing of the materials on the project. To that end, Cianbro/Middlesex, a large industrial contractor, knew that they would need temporary climate control to meet the tight specifications for concrete curing during a construction project for the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge in New Haven, Conn.
