Color variations in CIELAB coordinates for softwoods and hardwoods under the influence of artificial and natural weathering

, 2020
Artificial and natural weathering treatments have been shown to influence the chemical and physical properties of wood and wood-based materials, e.g. moisture content, density, composition and coloration. Changes in color caused by natural and artificial

Mechanical and physical stability of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based wood plastic composites (WPCs) under natural weathering

Polymer testing, 2019
This study investigated the effects of natural weathering on the physical and mechanical properties of biodegradable composites based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and wood flour (WF).

Artificial and natural weathering of ABS

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2010
AbstractAcrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) is a complex copolymer with exceptional importance in technological applications. However, ABS is known to present a high susceptibility to weathering when exposed to UV radiation in the presence of oxygen. In this work, photodegradation of ABS was studied under natural and accelerated conditions.

The behavior of metals/metalloids during natural weathering: A systematic study of the mono-lithological watersheds in the upper Pearl River Basin, China.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
The Pearl River Basin is a region with elevated geochemical baseline levels due to high metals/metalloids content in the sediments and soils. In this paper we systematically analyzed the behavior of these metals/metalloid (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, As, and Pb)

The effect of natural weathering on dissolution rates

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1993
Abstract Surface area measurements and dissolution experiments were performed on a naturally weathered mineral assemblage rich in quartz and feldspar. The surface areas of unfractured (612 μm) and ground samples were measured at different levels of surface detail, using a dissecting microscope, SEM, and the BET-krypton method.

Natural weathering severity of typical coastal environment on polystyrene: Experiment and modeling

Polymer testing, 2019
Natural weathering of polystyrene (PS) was performed at six exposure sites with various climate types along the coastal line from China to Europe, including Qionghai (typical hot-humid climate), Sansha (island hot-humid climate), Chennai (savanna hot ...

Natural Weathering Studies of Polypropylene

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2009
Polypropylene (PP) has achieved a dominating position and hence, their consumption increases thereby littering, which lead to environmental pollution. Photodegradation seems to be a better choice because of naturally available sunlight as energy source for degradation.

THE NATURE OF BASALT WEATHERING IN ISRAEL

Soil Science, 1978
ABSTRACT Three major weathering forms of upper Cenozoic basalts are recognized: a weathering crust, several millimeters thinck, at the interface with the massive basalt; a weathering zone, several centimeters thick, associated with vesicular basalt; and thoroughly altered basalt saprolite, mostly obtained under prolonged water-saturated conditions ...

On the Systemic Nature of Weather Risk

2009
Systemic weather risk is a major obstacle for the formation of private (nonsubsidized) crop insurance. This paper explores the possibility of spatial diversification of insurance by estimating the joint occurrence of unfavorable weather conditions in different locations. For that purpose copula methods are employed that allow an adequate description of
