Vacuum glazing is an innovative transparent thermal insulator that has application in high performance window, especially renewable energy. Different materials as well sealing methods have been adopted to seal windows with different temperatures. The impact of temperatures on layers found significant effects the microstructure seal. This paper seeks investigate specifically glass powder and flu...

Macro defect free (MDF) cements are polymer-cement composites characterized by high biaxial flexural strength compared to traditional concrete, having as a drawback low water resistance. Glazing these composite materials with an inorganic enamel containing TiO2 nano-particles has led water-stable material advanced photocatalytic properties. Classic glazing thermal treatment of samples, at 1050 ...

Windows are the weakest elements due to their high heat transfer coefficient and responsible for 60% energy heat/gain loss. Healthcare buildings one of biggest consumers continuous occupation hours medical requirements, providing comfortable conditions people in need care staff; yet recently less attention was given healthcare unique operational requirements advanced equipment. Thus, main purpo...

Effect of glazing with an ultraviolet light-activated coating material on reduction of the leaching of methyl methacrylate and formaldehyde from denture acrylic resins was quantitatively evaluated. Disks prepared from auto-polymerized resins were painted with the material and radiated with ultraviolet light. The disks were immersed in artificial saliva and the concentrations of methyl methacryl...

A good designing of the building represents an important factor for the energy economics. The windows represent one of the important elements in the designing of a building envelope. The window’s thermal performances have also a strong influence on the thermal performance of the opaque area of the wall. This fact imposed knowing the way of real interaction, of co-operation and of mutual influen...

Background: This study sought to assess the effect of glazing and polishing surface treatments on the optical behavior of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics thermocycled in different solutions. Methods:Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing ceramics (VITA Suprinity) were cut into samples (n=104) measuring 1.5x14x10 mm according to t...

Purpose 1. to assess the ability of four brands translucent monolithic zirconia with different thicknesses mask discolored substrates; 2. influence glazing upon their color coordinates and masking properties.
