Improved Detection of Tendon Ducts and Defects in Concrete Structures Using Ultrasonic Imaging
(2002)
At the beginning of the 90s the general opinion was, that ultrasonic inspection methods using pulse-echo technique were not suitable for the inspection of concrete because of the inhomogeneity and the strong scattering behavior of the embedded aggregates. In the meantime the progress in the development of new equipment and inspection strategies in connection with ultrasonic imaging techniques turns the pulse-echo technique into a powerful tool to solve problems related to concrete materials. These imaging techniques - developed for the inspection of homogenous materials like steel of aluminum - could be adopted to the very low frequencies needed for concrete inspections.
Photo-initiated cross-linking of multifunctional acrylic esters in polymeric binders was investigated based on digital imaging using the Computer-to-Plate (CtP) technology applying laser exposure in the near-infrared (NIR). Generation of initiating radicals occurs by electron transfer from the excited state of the NIR-sensitizer to the radical generator, an onium salt. Iodonium salts derived from several borates and those with the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion resulted in lithographic materials with high sensitivity. Photo-induced electron transfer plays a major function to generate initiating radicals by a sensitized mechanism but thermal events also influence sensitivity of the coating. Internal conversion was the major deactivation pathway while a certain fraction of NIR-dye fluorescence was also available. A line shape focused laser system with emission in the NIR was successfully used to bake the materials.
