From page 35...
... There are potential opportunities for all stakeholder groups to collaborate to address the catalytic oxidation issue of C/C aircraft brakes, with respect to aircraft and component design, brake testing, aircraft operations, airfield maintenance, etc. In the domain of brake technologies, the combination of chemical modification of C/C with structural changes or defect elimination seems to offer promising solutions to mitigating catalytic oxidation.

... Furthermore, efforts have been made to mitigate ASR by adding various supplementary cementitious materials or chemical admixtures such as lithium compounds. • Impact of Pavement Deicing Products on Asphalt Pavement In addition to the effects of PDPs on PCC pavement, their effects on asphalt pavement are also of increasing concern.

... 2. Limited existing laboratory studies indicated that alkali-metal-salt-based deicers could cause or accelerate ASR distress in the surface of PCC pavement, by increasing the pH of concrete pore solution.

... A dominant theme throughout all the responses provided by airports was the challenge of needing environmentally benign products that are simultaneously safe for aircraft, pavement, and electrical systems. Several respondents indicated the need for standards concerning the compatibility of 38 deicers with airfield infrastructure and airframe materials, as well as standards for environmental effects of deicers.
