Comparative study about the thermal stability and UV resistance of some paint layers for electro-energetic equipment
In order to determine the durability of polymer coatings using investigation techniques based on X-rays diffraction and combined techniques for thermal analysis (TG-DTA-DTG), were determined the changes of structure and of their thermo-oxidative characteristics (6 different paint types having different characteristics) after exposure to UV radiation (60W/m2 in range of 300-400nm). The experimental results, indicate that UV radiation induce different changes (function of the commercial type of any paint) of the investigated topcoat paint films respectively, increase of the crystallinity (and, implicit, of the fragility) function of the exposure dose, which was between 0,0005 and 0,0150%/Wh/m2.
Nano Oxides UV Protectors for Transparent Organic Coatings
optical and photocatalitic properties. The two modification of TiO 2 - rutile and anatase- are used in coatings industry and their specific optical properties (reflection and/or absorption of UV and visible light), together with crystal structure, size and morphology of the individual particles and distribution of dopants play the key role for the different functions of TiO 2 [7]. In the present work the preparation and optical properties of acryl-polyurethane polymer films containing iron doped titania and mixture of titania and iron oxide nano powders (UV-Vis spectra, transparency and colours) have been studied and compared with coating containing others nano oxides (like nano-CeO 2 , nano-ZnO or nonoFe 2 O 3 ) used as UV absorbers for transparent organic coatings.
The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice ten years on: Successes and future challenges under the Stockholm Programme. CEPS Paperbacks. June 2010
This book celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) by bringing together the views of key practitioners and policy-makers who have played an outstanding role in thinking about and shaping EU policies on freedom, security and justice. 
 
Ten years ago, the member states transferred competences to the EU for law and policy-making in the fields of immigration, asylum and border controls, and began the transfer process for criminal justice and policing. This decade of European cooperation on AFSJ policies has experienced very dynamic convergence, the enactment of a large body of European law and the setting-up of numerous EU agencies working in these domains. Such dynamism in policy-making has not been without challenges and vulnerabilities, however. As this collective volume shows, the main dilemmas that lie ahead relate to an effective (while more plural) institutional framework under the Treaty of Lisbon, stronger judicial scrutiny through a greater role for national courts and the Court of Justice in Luxembourg, better mechanisms for evaluating and monitoring the implementation of EU AFSJ law and a more solid fundamental rights strategy. The contributions in this volume address the progress achieved so far in these policy areas, identify the challenges for future European cooperation in the AFSJ and put forward possible paths for making more progress in the next generation of the EU’s AFSJ.
