Salt water spray and immersion tests were experimentally conducted for over 6 months to investigate the durability of glass fabric/phenolic composites under salt water environment. Mechanical properties such as tensile properties, flexural properties, and shear properties were evaluated and thermal analysis properties such as storage shear modulus, loss shear moduls, and tan 6 were obtained through a DMA. A change in chemical structures was analyzed through a FTIR. According to the results, mechanical properties and thermal analysis properties were sensitive to salt water environment and these properties began to degrade in increasing in exposure times. However, tensile and flexural moduli started to decrease and then slightly increase as increasing in exposure times due to plasticization and crosslinking in matrix as well as physical swelling in composites. Beyond a certain exposure times, these properties began to decrease as further increasing in exposure times. Also the shape and location of peaks in FTIR curves were insensitive to exposure times, but the intensity of peaks would be. finally we found that the durability of glass fabric/phenolic composites were affected on salt water immersion environment rather than salt water spray environment.

We examined degradation characteristics of lead based pigments(white lead, Red lead, Litharge) according to atmospheric environmet condition, for example atmospheric gas(CO₂, NO₂) and soluble salt. Painted samples not changed material compositions but were occured the color change(𝚫E 4~31) after exposed UV irradiation. All sample were not affected by CO₂ gas not only color but chemical composition. However, samples were remakably changed color exposed NO₂ gas and it was formed secondary product like as lead nitrate. Such as red lead and white lead samples' color difference were 𝚫E 2 and 𝚫 10 respectively and became dark, along with litharge became bright and color difference was 𝚫E 5 after react with NO₂ gas. It confirm that NO₂ was influential factor than CO₂ in the case of same concentration. Furthermore salt spray test was taken to figure out soluble salt influence in fine dust. The result showed noticeable color change and secondary product was formed on samples' surface. The glue film peeled off or hole, and color changed around the secondary products. After salt spray, XRD pattern showed decrease peak intensity and lower crystalinity. As a result of salt spray test, white lead was formed new product litharge and litharge was formed litharge and minium. According to the results, influential atmospheric factors for conservation of paint pigments were UV, NO₂, soluble salt, and litharge was most weakness throughout lead base pigments.

The structural formation of inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in polymer matrices is a key technology for producing advanced nanocomposites with a unique combination of optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. Barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) nanoparticles are attractive for increasing the refractive index and dielectric constant of polymer nanocomposites. Current synthesis processes for $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles require expensive precursors or organic solvents, complicated steps, and long reaction times. In this study, we demonstrate a simple and continuous approach for synthesizing $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles based on a salt-assisted ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. This process allows the synthesis of $BaTiO_3$ nanoparticles with diameters of 20-50 nm and a highly crystalline tetragonal structure. The optical properties and photocatalytic activities of the nanoparticles show that they are suitable for use as fillers in various nanocomposites.

In this paper, the UV corona camera was developed using the solar blind and Multi Channel Plate(MCP) technology for the target localization of UV image. UV camera developed a $6.4[^{\circ}]{\times}4.8[^{\circ}]$ of the field of view as a conventional camera to diagnose a wide range of slightly enlarged, and power equipment to measure the distance between the camera and the distance meter has been attached. UV camera to measure the discharge count and the UV image was developed, compared with a commercial camera, there was no significant difference. In salt spray environments breakdown voltage was lower than the normal state, thereby discharging the image was rapidly growing phenomenon.

To syudy the change of prtential in the mortar-embedded precorroded rebar, a half cell method was adapted. The rebar was corroded by the salt spray and then the rebar embedded in the mortar. A saturated copper sulfate feference electrode was used. The corrosion potential of the rebar in the mortar specimen cured in air was increased, whereas that of the rebar cured in water was decreased with aging. The corrosion potential of the rebar in the mortar was decreased with corroded time by the salt spray. As the mortar thickness covered the rebar was increased, the corrosion potential of the rebar in the mortar was increased.

This work studied the corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy galvanically coupled with Cu during immersion in 0.1 and 0.5 M NaCl solutions by in-situ observation and galvanic corrosion current measurement using a zero resistance ammeter. The corrosion behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy was also studied by salt spray test. The average galvanic corrosion density during 2 h immersion in 0.1 NaCl solution was found to decrease as an exponential function with increasing the surface area ratios between AZ31:Cu or with increasing the distance between AZ31 and Cu. The corrosion of electrodeposited Cu on AZ31 Mg alloy was concentrated at the area next to Cu (about 5 mm for immersion test and 2 mm for salt spray test) and pitting corrosion was accelerated at the area beyond the severely corroded area by the galvanic coupling effect.

This article reports improved corrosion resistance and adhesion of electro-paint (E-paint) with fluoride conversion coating (FCC) on AZ31 Mg alloy for the first time. These improvements were observed in comparison to chemically polished samples with no chemical conversion coating and samples with cerium conversion coatings (CeCC). FCCs were prepared in a hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution for four different times; 10, 30, 60, and 120 s. The colour of the samples changed from light gold to brown with increasing immersion time, indicating the formation of thicker FCC coatings with increasing immersion time. The adhesion of the E-paint on FCC-coated AZ31 Mg alloy was tested after 500 h of immersion in deionized (DI) water. Salt spray test (SST) results revealed delamination of E-paint on the chemically polished sample, severe blistering on the samples with CeCC, but no delamination and no blistering on the samples with FCC.

A reaction and evaporation types of cerium based conversion coatings were developed for galvanized steel sheet. The corrosion loss Q(Cb/cm2) and protection efficiency P(%) were obtained using a polarization technique for cerium based conversion coatings on galvanized steel exposed to 0.5N NaCl for 7 days. The microstructure of coating layer was observed using SEM. An excellent corrosion reistnce of galvanized steel was obtained by two types of cerium basd conversion coating. Salt spray test was done to evaluate the corrosion resistance of three samples by visual inspection. The corrosion ranking of three samples-untreated and two treatedby electrochemical data was matched well with the results of salt spray test.

Mg and Mg alloys have been used for lots of applications, including automobile industry, aerospace, mobile phone and computer parts owing to low density. However, Mg and Mg alloys have a restricted application because of poor corrosion properties. Thus, improved surface treatments are required to produce protective films that protect the substrate from corrosive environments. Environmental friendly Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) has been widely investigated on magnesium alloys. PEO process combines electrochemical oxidation with plasma treatment in the aqueous solution. In this study, AZ91 Mg alloys were treated by PEO process in controlling the current with PC condition and treated time, concentration of NaF, NaOH, and $Na_2SiO_3$. The surface morphology and phase composition were analyzed using SEM, EDS and XRD. The potentiodynamic polarization tests were carried out for the analysis of corrosion properties of specimen. Additionally, salt spray tests were carried out to examine and compare the corrosion properties of the PEO treated Mg alloys.

This paper describes the exfoliation and surface modification of muscovite mica for UV coating formulation. For the exfoliation of the mica, hydrothermal process was used in the presence of lithium nitrate ($LiNO_3$). After the cation exchange with $Li^+$ ions, the surface of the mica was modified with several amphiphilic substances to increase compatibility and storage stability in UV coating formulation. Such a hydrophobic surface modification affected colloidal stability as well as dispersibility of the exfoliated mica in UV coating solution. Anticorrosive property of mica/UV coated steel plates was tested by salt spray test (SST) and compared with sodium montmorillonite ($Na^+$-MMT)/UV coated steel plates.
