Effect of Hygrothermal Aging on Hydrophobic Treatments Applied to Building Exterior Claddings [PDF]

Coatings, 2020
Hydrophobic materials are among the most commonly used coatings for building exterior cladding. In fact, these products are easily applied to an existing surface, significantly reduce water absorption and have a minimal impact on the aesthetic properties. On the other hand, although these products have a proven effectiveness, their long-term durability

Application of a transient hygrothermal population model for house dust mites in beds: assessment of control strategies in UK buildings [PDF]

, 2011
This article discusses the capabilities and the application of an innovative combined hygrothermal and population model to assess the impact of building design and occupant behaviour on house dust mite populations in a mattress. The combined model is the

Wettability transition of metallic surfaces from laser-generated superhydrophilicity to water-induced superhydrophobicity via a facile and eco-friendly strategy

Materials & Design, 2023
Superhydrophobic metallic surfaces exhibit superior self-cleaning and anti-corrosion properties, but facile and pollution-free preparation of such surfaces remains a challenge.

Influence of Hygrothermal Treatment on the Stress Relaxation of Clothing Fabrics’ Systems

Materials Science, 2008
The experimental results of stress relaxation under the conditions of hygrothermal treatment of clothing fabrics and fusedsystems (fabric as a main component and fusible interlining) are presented. The hygrothermal treatment of specimens wascarried out while applying three steaming cycle types: when steaming was carried out before the stretching ...

Hygrothermal performance and damage risk of green roofs

, 2022
S.141-163Green roofs become more and more popular especially in cities where they can help to improve the microclimate by reduced peak temperatures compared to conventional roof surfaces. They also reduce the gutter loads by rain water retention and save

Predicting the population dynamics of the house dust mite 'Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus' (Acari: pyroglyphidae) in response to a constant hygrothermal environment using a model of the mite life cycle [PDF]

, 2007
A generalised model of the life cycle of a house dust mite, which can be tailored to any particular species of domestic mite, is presented. The model takes into account the effects of hygrothermal conditions on each life cycle phase.

A steady-state model for predicting hygrothermal conditions in beds in relation to house dust mite requirements [PDF]

, 2005
This paper describes the development, testing and validation of a simple steady-state hygrothermal bed model (BED) which predicts conditions of temperature and relative humidity within the bed core (the occupied space between mattress and covering ...
