研究目的
To compare various optical methods for surface evaluation to assess their advantages and disadvantages and to determine their suitability for long-term monitoring of the state of protective polymeric coatings on glass tesserae of a mosaic.
研究成果
White-light interferometry and re?ectometry are the most suitable methods for long-term monitoring of protective coating degradation due to their ability to quantify surface roughness changes non-invasively.
研究不足
SEM requires a conductive layer, altering specimen properties, making it unsuitable for non-invasive long-term monitoring. SPM's analyzed area is too small to be representative. Digital microscope relies on transparency of the specimen, which may be hindered by glass degradation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compares several optical and mechanical methods for surface evaluation, including re?ectometry, scanning probe microscopy, nanoindentation, white-light interferometry, and scanning electron microscopy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Glass specimens (microscopy slides) dip coated with polymeric coating were prepared and artificially weathered.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Digital microscope (Hirox KH-7700), nanoindenter (Hysitron TI-750), scanning electron microscope (Tescan Mira II), white-light interferometer (Zygo), and a programmable automatic device for angle dependent re?ectometry.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Specimens were artificially weathered and changes in appearance were measured over six weeks. Surface characterization was performed using the listed methods.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Arithmetic roughness (Ra) was calculated to characterize surface topography. Reflectivity changes were analyzed to indicate surface roughness.
