An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the static and wind-on performance of two in-house-developed polymer-based pressure-sensitive paints. Platinum tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin and tris-bathophenanthroline ruthenium II are used as the luminophores of these two polymer-based pressure-sensitive paints. The pressure and temperature sensitivity and the photo-degradation rate of these two pressure-sensitive paints have been investigated. In the wind tunnel test, it was observed that the normalised intensity ratio of both polymer-based pressure-sensitive paints being studied decreases with increasing the number of wind tunnel runs. The exact reason that leads to the occurrence of this phenomenon is unclear, but it is deduced that the luminophore is either removed or deactivated by the incoming flow during a wind tunnel test.

Shock wave boundary/layer interactions (SWBLIs) are critical in high-speed aerodynamic flows, particularly within supersonic regimes, where unsteady dynamics can induce structural fatigue and degrade vehicle performance. Conventional measurement techniques, such as pressure-sensitive paint (PSP), face limitations in frequency response, calibration complexity, and intrusive instrumentation. Similarly, MEMS-based sensors, like Kulite sensors, present challenges in terms of intrusiveness, cost, and integration complexity.

Since the 1980s, pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) has been used as an optical pressure sensor for measuring surface pressure on aircraft models in wind tunnels. Typically, PSPs have utilized platinum(II)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin due to its high pressure sensitivity, phosphorescence lifetime of ∼50 μs, reasonable quantum yield of emission, and resistance to photo-oxidation. This work investigates the photophysics and electronic structure of metal complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin, namely, Zn(II), Pd(II), and Ir(III), as potentially improved luminophores for polymer-based PSPs.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the growing need for sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials in the adhesives industry, with a focus on geraniol as a renewable component in waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).
- Various formulations using geraniol were created and subjected to extensive chemical analysis using advanced techniques like FTIR and TGA to assess their properties.
- The results demonstrated that geraniol-based PSAs exhibit desirable thermal and adhesive characteristics, showing potential as an eco-friendly substitute in adhesive applications.

In this paper, we propose a photodegradation correction method for the dual-luminophore pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) measurement using lifetime-based imaging, which was proposed for correction of the temperature-induced error but has suffered from photodegradation in the previous studies. We introduced a parameter that characterizes the photodegradation of a dual-luminophore PSP as the intensity ratio between the two luminophores. The changes in the calibration coefficients for the pressure and the temperature due to photodegradation were corrected based on this parameter.

Pressure-sensitive paints (PSP) enable non-intrusive visualization of surface pressure distribution on model surface which is important for aerodynamic studies. However, conventional PSP materials suffer from photobleaching and inadequate sensitivity. In this work, we rationally designed and synthesized novel dendritic oxygen probes (PT1 and PT2) by covalently grafting fluorinated dendrons onto platinum tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (PT0) (a common oxygen probe).
