“…The samples were mounted in the cells and irradiated for 36, 72, 108 and 154 h. To monitor temperature and relative humidity more accurately in the large chamber area, a number of temperatures and RH sensors were distributed throughout the interior of the chamber as well as in the interior of the panels. The temperature and RH sensor data were logged and stored via a data acquisition system and a desktop computer [17][18][19].…”

“…TGC was calculated as follows TGC ¼ S Â 7:4ð24 h=YÞ (2) where Y is the amount of time per d that the turnout gear is exposed to sunlight (h), TGC is the number of days the turnout gear is exposed to Y h of sunlight, and the other parameters are described above. Assuming that in 1 d of routine activities the turnout gear is exposed to the experimental conditions for 1 h …”

“…Chin et al [2] has shown that poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers lost 30% tensile strength after a sequential exposure of 50 C/60% relative humidity (RH) for 84 d and 60 C/37% RH for 73 d. Attenuated Total Reflectance Infrared (ATR-IR) spectral analysis revealed with increasing exposure duration that there was an increase in benzoxazole ring cleavage (loss of 914 cm À1 , 1056 cm À1 , and 1362 cm À1 peak) and an increase in acid, alcohol, and amine group formation (1690 cm À1 , 3300 cm À1 ). The impact of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation was not investigated.…”
