However, standards and testing methods adapted to Canada’s climate do not exist and weathering tests, which require specific equipment and expertise, are very expensive and time consuming. The CTT Group, a college technology center in Quebec, has a world class expertise and infrastructure in accelerated weathering of synthetic materials. As a collaborator of the NRC in the CLIP Glazings Project, the CTT Group will develop weathering test protocols applicable to the Canadian climate and will execute short-term performance and accelerated weathering testing to 1) provide guidance for NRC’s polymer glazing development, and 2) evaluate the weathering performance of the glazings developed throughout the CLIP Glazings Project so as to assess their viability in the Canadian climate., description french : Évaluation de la performance des vitrages polymères pour le transport, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 2 time(s).
