fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Chemistry of Conservation - Restoration (programme PřF, N-CH)

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the fundamentals of mechanism and kinetic of materials degradation processes due to the environment, furthermore with the resistance of materials to the effects of the main types of environments, especially water, soil, atmosphere and chemical substances/mixtures and to provide students with a comprehensive overview of methods, agents and application technologies for protection against degradation.

Learning outcomes

Student will be able to:
- Analyze current trends in scientific understanding of materials degradation processes by environmental influences;
- Identify the effects of the key factors of material degradation systems, with emphasis on the assessment of the importance of the mechanism and the kinetic of degradation processes;
- Compare and optimize methods and means of protection systems of metals, polymers and other materials against the effects of basic degradation environments;
- Design and explain the suitability of research and testing methods, with an emphasis on the ability to modeling and stimulation of process kinetics;
- Apply the results of scientific and technical knowledge of protection systems and optimize them from the point of view of method, means and technology for particular systems – degradation environment, by emphasizing the long-term effect of the protective system.

Syllabus

• SURFACE TREATMENTS AS PART OF THE QUALITY SYSTEM Relationship of quality materials, finishes and environmental degradation, the quality of products, resistance of products against environmental influences THE DEGRADATION OF MATERIALS DUE TO ENVIRONMENT The system degradation, components of the system, types of degradation processes (corrosion of metals, corrosion of plastic materials, rusting, aging, degradation, rot) Fundamental factors of degradation processes (factors of material, factors of construction, environmental factors, influence of biotic pests, the time factor) Phenomenal forms of degradation of materials, uniform forms, local forms BASIC SURFACE TREATMENTS OF MATERIALS Types and function of surface treatments of materials, choice finishes, pre-treatment of materials (mechanical treatments, chemical and electrochemical treatments) Inorganic surface treatments (phosphate treatments, chemical and electrochemical oxidation, silicate surface treatments, passivation, modifications of rust, chemical colouration) METAL, ALLOY AND COMPOSITE COATINGS Basics of manufacture and function of coatings ORGANIC COATINGS (PAINT SYSTEMS) Distribution and labelling of paints and paint systems Paint systems for wood and metals Powder coatings Making of coatings from solvent-based paints, removal of paint Enamels Filling, impregnation and preservation TREATMENT OF DEPRECIATING ENVIRONMENTS Inhibition of corrosion processes Destimulation of depreciating environments Recommended literature: Jaromír Tulka, SURFACE TREATMENTS OF MATERIALS, skript FCH VUT, Brno, 2005
