Full textAluminum-silicon alloys are widely used for the manufacture of parts with complex geometries for various applications (automotive / pistons / household appliances). Following the preparation of the samples by mechanical polishing, a porous oxide layer of fifteen microns is grown on the surface of the AS12 by anodization in acid or basic medium. After the anodization, a process known as sealing with long-chain carboxylic or phosphonic acids is carried out in order to increase the mechanical and anti-corrosion performances of the anodized samples. In order to evaluate the samples, several techniques were used: microscopy (SEM/ TEM) for morphological characterization, EDS analysis for composition, electrochemical (EIS) and non-electrochemical salt spray measurements for corrosion resistance evaluation and tribological tests for wear resistance characterization. Because of the cracks due to the silicon crossing the oxide layer, the samples anodized in sulfuric acid medium are characterized by a reduced corrosion resistance compared to those oxidized in alkaline medium where the silicon is completely oxidized on the surface. On the other hand, the nanometric size of the pores resulting from the sulfuric anodization offers a better resistance to wear. The sealing of the anodized samples in sulfuric medium leads to the plugging of the cracks generated by the metallic silicon and subsequently to the improvement of the corrosion resistance. However, due to the large size of the pores resulting from the anodization in alkaline medium, no significant improvement in the corrosion resistance is obtained. From the wear resistance point of view, the sealing does not bring any remarkable added value to the anodized samples

Full textThis thesis manuscript relates to the study of process set up of an electrochemical surface treatment, called micro-arc oxidation (MAO), and applied to titanium and its alloys. The aim is to determine the influence of parameters such as nature of the substrate (alloying elements), chemistry of the electrolytic solution and electrical parameters, on the process. In-situ electrochemical behaviour of forming oxide layers is studied, as well as microstructural and chemical characteristics of formed coatings. Many methods mostly to characterize morphology (SEM, TEM imagery), chemistry (EDS, XRD, electron diffraction, EELS) and ex- situ electrochemical behaviour (OCP, polarizing, EIS) are used. Systematic study realised by voltamperometry and chronopotentiometry allowed to differentiate three anodizing stages (I/ conventional, II/ micro-arc, III/ of arcs), characterized by a particular electrochemical response of the metal/electrolyte interface, and which impacts obtained coating properties. Phenomenological models are proposed for each stage of anodizing and linked to MAO process parameters. Grade 2 commercially pure titanium and alloy Ti-6Al-4V (or TA6V) are comparatively studied; the influence of alloying elements (aluminium and vanadium) was discussed in relation with running of the process. Development of an electrolytic solution was carried out to obtain a thick and compact coating, mostly composed of aluminium titanate. Incorporation into the coating of elements from the electrolyte was discussed, and linked to in-situ electrochemical response; this study leaded to a proposed coating growth mechanism which involves elements from the substrate and from the electrolyte. Study of unipolar and bipolar pulsed regimes allowed discussing the effect of pause time and cathodic pulses on electrochemical response of the material and on coating properties. Study of the anodic / cathodic charge ratio showed it was an essential parameter to ensure growth of a thick, homogeneous and compact coating

Full textAluminum anodizing is a surface treatment that has been known and studied for nearly a century. However, in a surprising manner, very few works have been published about the local anodizing of aluminum, meaning on surfaces lower than a mm². The primary goal of this work consisted in fabricating unitary aluminum microelectrodes, which has never been reported. Tests have been carried out using three different approaches, that is using melted aluminum, the simultaneous pulling of a glass capillary, and the coating of a conducting wire. Ultimately, a controlled experimental procedure, repeatable and innovative, now allows the manufacturing of disk-shaped aluminum 1050 microelectrodes, the active surface of which is a 125 µm diameter disk and the Rg, which is the electrode total diameter on the metal diameter ratio, varying between 2,5 and 9,5. The second objective lied in the anodizing of these aluminum microelectrodes, while studying in this case the role of different key operating parameters (voltage, nature of the electrolyte and its temperature) on the anodic film characteristics. The results have, for one part, confirmed the "standard" evolution of the porosity and the pores diameter, but for the other part have also revealed extraordinary growth speed of the anodic film, which has specifically been associated with the microscopic scale. The third and last challenge was to test the possibility of elaborating a metal nanoelectrode array inside the pores of the anodic films previously achieved at the tip of the microelectrodes. In this context, various experiments have been carried out to thin the barrier layer and restrict the reduction of water with the idea of electrodepositing metallic nickel in the porous film. Finally, the present work represents the first step to a promising way of elaborating a potential new generation of sensors using the properties of an ultramicroelectrodes array, every single one of which having the dimension of a single pore, with a diameter of 100 nm

Full textTiO2 nanomaterials, in particular nanotubes, are some of the most studied materials, as they are considerably important in technological and biological applications due to their unique electronic properties and biocompatibility. For example, vertically aligned TiO2 nanotubes play a crucial role in photovoltaics as they enhance the charge separation as a result of their excellent photo-catalytic properties in the presence of organic dye molecules, and provide a superior one-dimensional transport route compared to nanoparticle films. There are numerous techniques used to synthesise TiO2 nanotubes, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), template based techniques, anodisation, to name but a few. However, due to its non-toxicity environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness, anodisation is the most common technique to synthesise TiO2 nanotubes. In addition anodisation allows for control over the morphology when tailoring the anodisation parameters such as voltage, concentration, temperature and duration. It is well-documented that the as-synthesised TiO2 nanotubes via anodisation technique are amorphous and require post-treatment at elevated temperature (above 280 degrees C) to induce crystallinity into anatase phase. Further increase in annealing temperature results in crystallisation in either rutile or mixed phase structure.

Full textPulse/cyclic anodizing processes have been gaining attraction for some time now, mainly because, with this technology, it is possible to create porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) layers with a tailored morphology. Unfortunately, the design of these complex pulse signals remains empirical due to the lack of basic knowledge of the mechanisms occurring during the processes. The presented work aims to shed some light on that matter, keeping in mind that this information could be used to predict and design new nanostructures as well as to optimize the process itself. To this end, this research combines in situ electrochemical measurements (polarizing, EIS, OCP) with ex situ morphological observations (FE-SEM, STEM) to identify the mechanisms occurring throughout: (i) a decrease of potential from the anodic domain to the limit of the cathodic one (reverse scan polarization) of a classic-anodized Al, (ii) a bipolar pulse anodizing process on Al, and (iii) a unipolar pulse anodizing process on pure Al and on AA2024. Additionally, a bipolar pulse signal is designed to obtain an AAO with a white aspect characterized by spectrophotometry, and a unipolar pulse signal to anodize with a high growth rate without damaging the integrity of the anodic layer through the burning phenomenon

Full textThis thesis describes the electrochemical behaviour of commercial pure titanium together with observed physical response of the surface. Long-time chrono-amperometric investigations reveal a local increase in current density which is attributed to creation of cracks in anodic oxide film. This phenomenon is confirmed by several techniques (optical microscopy, SEM, AFM, EIS). Measurement of an open circuit potential of various surface modifications under different conditions helps to understand the total complexity of the system. On the basis of the presented research a new hypothesis on a long-time potentiometric anodisation is formed

Full textThe microelectronic industry is still ruled up to now by the law of miniaturization or scaling. In particular, in CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) technology, the oxide allowing electric isolation between p- and n-MOS transistors has also been scaled down and has then exhibited different technological processes going from LOCOS (local oxidation of silicon) to STI (shallow trench isolation) and arriving to FIPOS (full isolation by porous oxidation of silicon). The latter seems to be the most promising alternative solution that can overcome actual limitations of voiding and dishing encountered in the STI process. The approach, which is based on selective formation of porous silicon and its easy transformation to silicon dioxide, has aroused our motivation to be well studied. In this context, the PhD project has first focused on the understanding of electrochemical porous silicon formation, and then on the study of porous silicon oxidation. In a first part of our work, we emphasize the dependence of porous silicon formation with the silicon doping concentration through the investigation of current-voltage I-V characteristics measured on p- and n-type silicon electrodes during electrochemical anodization. Taking advantage of this dependence, we have developed a very simple electrochemical method allowing an accurate determination of doping profiles in p-type silicon. It has been shown that the depth resolution of the technique is readily linked to the doping level and it approaches that of the secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis for high doping concentrations with an estimated value of 60 nm/decade. In a second step, we highlight the selective formation of oxidized porous silicon. In fact, with a correct choice of the applied potential during anodization, only highly doped regions implanted on a lightly doped silicon wafer are preferentially turned into porous silicon and subsequently oxidized. Furthermore, we give the optimum conditions for oxidation and anodization processes which result in an insulating oxide of reliable dielectric properties

Full textThis work is divided in two specific parts: first of all we caracterized oxide patterns made by local anodic oxidation using an AFM on 5nm titanium wafers. We caracterized the morphology of the patterns. We studied the influence of several parameters such as oxidation voltage, writing speed of the AFM tip, relative humidity of the environment, AFM modes (contact or tapping)and the type of the tips we used. Most thinnest pattern we made reaches a full width at half maximum of 21nm with a 2.2nm height. It was obtained using a PtSi coating tip in tapping mode with an oxidation voltage of -7V, a writing speed of 0.4 um/s and a relative humidity of 43%. The second part of our work was dedicated to the realization and the characterization of planar MIM junction Ti/TiOx/Ti. These junctions are TLM patterns with a TiOx line cross-ways over the microwire of the TLM pattern. When the junctions are stressed electrically under ambient atmosphere, an irreversible morphological transformation is happenning for a current density and an electric field of 7.1010 A/m² and 3.107 V/m respectively. Chemical and structural analysis based on transmission electronic microscopy have shown that the initial amorphous TiOx junction have grown importantly with an area of crystalline TiOx. This transformation can be avoided by applying the electric stress under vacuum. Finally, electrical measurements in temperature highlighted the transport mecanisms within the junction: Schottky emission under vacuum and ionic conduction under ambient atmosphere

Full textIn order to replace nickel-based sealing process, the characterization of new treatments of sealing and their corrosion resistances on anodic aluminum alloys were carried out. The morphological study showed that the pores were not stopped after the stage of sealing. Only a surface layer is observed for certain treatments of sealing. The anodic oxide coating sealed or not is made up of alumina and aluminum oxyhydroxide with incorporation of ions sulphates. The content of these ions is less important in the oxide coating after sealing during this treatment one observes the diffusion in the layer of the "sealing" species which leads to the exit of the ions sulphates. The anticorrosion properties of the "sealing" compound adsorbed in the nanoporosities or fixed in a surface layer remains very dependent on alloys and the defects present in the layers at the microscopic scale after the anodization

Full textPrevious academic studies showed that highly ordered Anodic Aluminium Oxide (AAO) films can be obtained by anodizing. Nevertheless, the choice of the experimental parameters was most often empirical, and the physicochemical composition of these films at meso and nanoscopic scales was to be established. In this research work, the influences of the substrate pre-treatment steps were particularly examined, obtaining a high quality surface being essential. Then a new elaboration pathway of highly ordered AAO films was developed. Correlations between the preparation parameters and the characteristics of the elaborated templates were especially studied. Post treatments allowing separation of films from substrate, adjustment of pores diameters and removal of the barrier layer were then studied. Finally, the films compositions were extensively investigated, to identify the chemical compounds and to evaluate their contents in the different parts constituting each basic cell

Full textMeso-porous silicon, achieved by electrochemical etching of monocrystalline silicon, has a low thermal conductivity, close to that of silicon oxide. Thus it can be used as a new thermal insulation material for thermal effect microsystems also ensuring their mechanical stability. In order to form in-depth homogenous porous silicon layers, the anodisation process of silicon is modified in a so-called “double side pulsed anodisation method”. Porous silicon layers as thick as the initial substrate were achieved this way. A new measurement method based on micro-Raman scattering is used to relate technological and morphological parameters of porous silicon to its thermal properties. A thermal conductivity optimum is determined regarding anodisation current density and oxidation temperature used as a post-anodisation treatment. Experimental results correspond to our theoretical approach of the thermal transport in a nano-structured material such as porous silicon. Implementation of a patterned porous silicon layer in a sensor flow chart is studied in terms of chemical stabilisation treatments (oxidation) and electrical passivation. A technological and thermal compromise of the porous silicon layer is established. An analytical model as well as a finite element simulation of the thermal structure lead to an optimised thermal sensor substrate. Finally two thermal microsensors for in-vivo tissue thermal conductivity measurements were designed based on a 100 µm thick oxidized porous silicon layer: a micro-needle and a surface sensor. Thermo-electrical and thermo-resistive devices are deposited on top of the porous silicon layer: two phosphorous implanted polysilicon resistors and a N+-polysilicon/aluminium thermopile. Experimental results on both sensors have shown the efficiency of porous silicon as a thermal insulator and drawn future prospects on various thermal micro-device process

Full textThe objectives of this study were to prepare a standard porous anodic film on an aluminium substrate, and then composite coatings with PTFE lubricant either on the surface or within this anodic film, and finally to evaluate the real impact of the location of the lubricant, on the tribological and mechanical properties of these two types of composites. The influence of the different steps of surface treatments, especially the anodization performed in phosphoric acid electrolyte, has been studied. We successfully prepared a standard anodic film, (10. 0±0. 5) microns thick, with unconnected pores showing (200 ±15) nm as average diameter. The deposition techniques firstly used, were sedimentations either natural or ultrasonic or improved by solvent evaporation. This last technique enabled the effective incorporation of the particles. Then, in order to overcome the limitations of these techniques, we performed cathodic electrophoresis in an aqueous medium, using pulsed voltage mode, which limited the electrolysis of water and finally allowed the effective incorporation of PTFE particles. Characterizations (FEG-SEM, EDX and Confocal Raman) enabled for the first time to characterize in situ these incorporations and to propose inclusion rates in each case. Finally, the influence of the incorporation of PTFE in the anodic film was analyzed regarding tribological and mechanical properties of the composite. It has been shown that, depending on the amount of incorporated PTFE, the lifetime of the composite films was significantly improved regarding wear

Full text3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is a chiral drug of abuse that produces lasting effects on brain serotonin (5-HT) neurons. As central administration of MDMA fails to produce 5-HT neurotoxicity, systemic metabolites probably play a role in the development of neurotoxicity. In the first part of the thesis, novel high-yield syntheses of 2,4,5-trihydroxymethamphetamine (THMA) and its N-acetyl-cysteinyl (NAC) conjugate (6-NAC-THMA), two metabolites arising from MDMA ring hydroxylation biotransformation step are reported. In the second part, the neurotoxicity profile of THMA and its 6-NAC-THMA conjugate is described: the results suggest that neither THMA nor 6-NAC-THMA is directly responsible for MDMA neurotoxicity but leave open the possibility that other forms of THMA (oxidized cyclic forms) or other metabolites could be involved. Because the chirality of MDMA metabolites was not considered in previously reported in vivo studies, in the third part of the thesis, the first total synthesis of (S)-3,4-dihydroxymethamphetamine [S-(+)-HHMA], a phase I metabolite generated through O-demethylenation, is achieved through six steps, in 45% overall yield and 99% enantiomeric excess (ee), starting from L-N-BOC-alanine as the chiral source (99% ee). Finally, the synthesis of optically active catechol-thioether conjugates of HHMA starting from S-(+)-HHMA precursor, or from R-(-)-HHMA previously prepared in our laboratory alternatively, is reported using electrochemical oxidation as a mimic of CYP-450 enzymatic oxidation

Full textThis work concerns the electrocatalytic oxidation of monosaccharides in carbonate buffer medium. Long-term electrolyses, carried out on platinum electrode, showed that glucose led mainly to gluconic acid in a small amount. When methylglucoside is used, the quantities of electricity involved to transform the primary alcohol into carboxylic acid are lower than those obtained previously. Selective oxidations of monosaccharides were performed when metallic adatoms (lead and thallium) were underpotentially deposited on the surface of platinum. Therefore, the current densities were multiplied by 35 in the best cases, allowing to oxidize at low potentials, glucose to keto-gluconic acid, and methylglucoside to methylglucuronic acid. Moreover, glucose was oxidized on two kinds of ruthenium complexes (RuIICl2(azpy)2, and RuIICl2(nazpy)2). After synthesizing these complexes, their isomers were isolated and characterized by cyclic voltammetry and by varied spectroscopic techniques. The different electrolyses of glucose on these catalysts were carried out at 0. 6 V(MSE) i. E. After the formation of a reversible system (RuIV/RuIII). The main reaction products obtained were gluconic and keto-gluconic acids. Tricarboxylic acid issued from the oxidation of the primary alcohol in C-6 position and the cleavage of the C2-C3 bond was also determined. This molecule underwent degradation leading to tartaric and oxalic acids due to the dissociative oxidation of the anomeric carbon

Full textA síntese eletroquímica de filmes finos de óxido usando a técnica de oxidação de alta tensão e a investigação da estrutura, propriedades físicas e químicas dos filmes obtidos são os principais objetivos desta tese. A anodização de metais sob a ação de vários kilovolts produz filmes com espessura pequena (até 180 nm) e com propriedades diferentes dos filmes formados usando técnicas eletroquímicas convencionais. As camadas de óxido depositadas desta forma conferem, frequentemente, melhores propriedades de proteção, semicondutoras e fotoeletroquímicas. No âmbito deste trabalho filmes finos sobre titânio e alumínio foram preparados em diferentes eletrólitos, incluindo soluções de ácidos e sais, bem como em água desionizada e peróxido de hidrogénio. Mostra-se que os filmes preparados por oxidação com descarga pulsada de alta tensão têm estrutura superficial e propriedades elétricas mais uniformes em comparação com os obtidos por anodização convencional. Outro objetivo do trabalho é a dopagem dos filmes anódicos com diferentes dopantes, por incorporação de espécies do eletrólito durante a formação do filme. Os filmes preparados por oxidação de descarga pulsada de alta tensão no titânio mostram uma melhor resposta de fotocorrente a comprimentos de onda pequenos e uma concentração mais baixa de dadores ionizados, relativamente aos filmes obtidos por anodização convencional. Os filmes preparados por descarga no alumínio e titânio são formados por uma camada compacta. Estudos sobre o processo de descarga revelaram que o principal fator que influencia a cinética de crescimento do filme de óxido é a concentração de defeitos pontuais, que por sua vez é determinada pela composição do eletrólito. Também se mostrou que as técnicas usando alta tensão permitem preparar filmes anódicos não só em soluções convencionais, mas igualmente em outros meios, tal como água desionizada, água destilada e peroxido de hidrogénio, onde a anodização por métodos convencionais (potenciostático ou galvanostático) é impossível. Além disso é revelado que a técnica da descarga pulsada de alta tensão é um método eficiente para encapsulação de nanocilindros de metal, preliminarmente depositados em nanoporos de titânia e alumina alinhados verticalmente.
Electrochemical synthesis of thin oxide films by using the high-voltage oxidation technique and investigation of structure, physical and chemical properties of the obtained films are the main objectives of this thesis. Anodisation of metals under action of several kilovolts allow to produce films with rather low thickness (up to 180 nm) and with properties different from the films created by using conventional electrochemical approaches. The oxide layers deposited in this way often confer advanced protective, semiconductor and photoelectrochemical properties. In the frame of this thesis thin films on titanium and aluminium were prepared in several electrolytes, including solutions of acids and salts as well as in deionised water and hydrogen peroxide. It is shown that the films prepared by powerful pulsed discharge oxidation are characterized by more uniform surface structure and electrical properties in comparison to those obtained by conventional anodization. Another aim of the work is doping of the anodic films with different dopants by incorporation of species from the electrolyte during the film formation. Films prepared by powerful pulsed discharge oxidation technique on titanium demonstrate a significantly improved photocurrent response at short wavelengths and an essentially lower concentration of ionized donors as compared with the films obtained by conventional anodization. The discharge-prepared films on both aluminium and titanium are composed by one compact layer. Studies of the discharge processes revealed that the main factor influencing the kinetics of the oxide film growth is the concentration of point defects which, in turn, is determined by the composition of electrolyte. Also, it was shown that the high voltage techniques allow to prepare anodic films not only in conventional solutions, but also in other media such as deionised water, distilled water and hydrogen peroxide, where anodisation by conventional (potentiostatic or galvanostatic) methods is impossible. Furthermore, the powerful pulsed discharge technique is shown as efficient method for encapsulation of metal nanorods preliminarily deposited into the vertically aligned titania and alumina nanopores.

Full textAluminum is widely used in the aerospace industry for its physical properties, particularly its low density. For aluminum parts subject to friction, hard anodizing is preferred to conventional anodizing in order to increase hardness and wear resistance. The drawback of this treatment is the resulting high coefficient of friction. The aim of this thesis, a collaboration between the UTINAM Institute and Aalberts Surface Technologies (AST), aims to achieve self-lubricating properties to hard anodic coatings on aluminum alloys, while keeping other properties. In a first step, familiarizing ourselves with AST's industrial practices is an opportunity to create a benchmark with the current industrial solution used when an improved coefficient of friction is required. Developments to ensure that the anodic layer is self-lubricating while remaining hard and abrasion-resistant are divided into two parts. The first involves studying the incorporation of an electrodepositable polymer with lubricating properties into the pore depth of the hard sulfuric anodic layer. The second part is based on the creation of a composite layer in a single step during anodizing, by adding lubricating particles to the anodizing electrolyte. This part is divided in two, with the use of a conventional electrolyte or the use of an innovative electrolyte

Full textWe study local anodisation using Atomic Force Microscopy on Indium Phosphite. We develop two methods: a standard AFM oxidation (contact mode and constant bias) and a non usual method (intermittent contact mode and a modulated voltage). The first method results are logarithmic growth kinetic and a linear variation with applied bias voltage. These results had been related to charging effect that limits the oxidation (homogeneity and resolution). To reduce these limits we develop the second method. We obtain an improvement for: resolution, homogeneity, control on oxide shape, and lithography velocity. Electrical characterisations by using different AFM mode measurements had been realised: Tunnelling-AFM and Phase measurement to probe the oxide quality and Scanning Capacitance Microscopy and Electrostatic Force Microscopy measurement to probe charge dissipation. These measurements had been used to understand the oxidation process. We study these methods for Quantum Dots localisation

This system was used to oxidize mono and polysaccharides, aryl alcohols, heterocyclic alcohols and cyclodextrins

Full textThis study is at first focused on the porous anodization of 1050A aluminium alloy using three different electrolytes without chromium. The morphology of the anodic layer was correlated with the energetic cost of the anodizing treatment for the three baths. The electrochemical study of the anodic layers shows that their electrical characteristics are directly linked with the compact sub-layer, showing n-type semi-conducting behaviour in all cases. The aim of the second part is the study of metallic impregnation of the previous anodic layers. Using Lissajous representation of the electric signals, experimental relations were established between energetic cost and metal deposition. Moreover, the threshold voltage and the additional anodization occurring during metallic impregnation were explained in the light of the electrical characteristics of the anodized material

Full textAluminum alloys used in the aeronautic field are subject to corrosion. Sealed anodic films act as an efficient solution for the protection of aircraft parts, sealing using hexavalent chromium salts providing the best anticorrosion behavior so far. However, REACH environmental law leads to totally ban chromium (VI) based compounds which are CMR, thus forcing surface finishers to develop new alternative processes. A review has firstly shown that existing processes are mainly empirical and sealing mechanisms are far from being fully understood. So, this thesis aims at identifying sealing key factors that especially drive solvent and penetration into pores of the porous anodic film. Secondly, chemical and microstructural characteristics of unsealed anodic film have been widely studied, especially using innovative techniques. For instance, tortuosity was quantitatively evaluated for the first time, by FEG-SEM and BET analysis, as a function of the alloy nature, while wettability measurements have revealed that a high tortuosity limits water penetration during sealing. Surface charges characterization has also highlighted that working in acidic conditions has usually an adverse effect on interactions between film and cations, except for a special pH value for which global charge becomes zero. Thirdly chemical composition, superficial charges and morphology modifications of the coatings have been studied at each step of sealing, allowing to propose reactional mechanisms. In particular, it is only after the second step of the new sealing process, that the coating becomes an effective barrier against aggressive electrolyte. Finally, the impact of the different sealing treatments on corrosion, fatigue and fatigue-corrosion behaviors has been pointed out

Full textSynergy between electrochemical processes and mechanical field near the crack tip is now recognized. Numerous investigations concern the effect of the environment on mechanical behaviour. However, the influence of a mechanical field on surfaces reactivity is not well established and only few works dealt with this effect; this manuscript gives a contribution to that influence. The great part of this work was devoted to the development of an electrochemical cell on a bench of mechanical test. Thanks to this original experimental apparatus, three levels of interaction have been discussed taking into account the different expression of plastic deformation (dislocation density and distribution, stress field and slip bands emergence) in order to study their effects on anodic processes of polycrystalline nickel in sulphuric acid medium. Our results have confirmed the fact that an increase of dislocation density promotes dissolution processes and the formation of oxide film while oxide layer properties are affected by density of dislocations rather than distribution of dislocations. The amplification effect of hydrostatic stress on anodic dissolution predicted by the thermodynamical model is confirmed. The surface roughness associated with slip bands emergence promotes dissolution process in relation with electronic state of the surface. The kinetic model allows us to quantify these effects of a mechanical field for each elementary reaction step of nickel in three regions of anodic domain (dissolution, formation of oxide film and passivity)

Full textThe electrochemical behavior, in oxidation, of a semiconductor III-V n-InP, was studied in the contact of two aqueous solutions of 2 pH for which the solubility of the products of corrosion stemming from the photo-oxidation is totally different. This work articulated around 2 axes, the one concerning the manufacturing process of a film of oxide about InP, and the second concerning the characterization as well in situ as ex situ of this oxide. The studies showed a fast formation of a very thin homogeneous layer (of the order of some nm) and little porous presenting good chemical and electric passivating properties a the imposed potential. The electric system constituted by the interface InP / Oxide becomes blocking in few seconds, and the blocking properties of the oxide is such as he can play the role of electric barrier the transfer of the electrons of the BC and in the transfer of the holes of the BV. The joint study of the capacity measurement, the photocurrents transient and its regeneration was realized, and put in evidence for n-InP, three stages in the formation and the growth of the oxide photogenerate. The analysis of the photocurrent transient can be considered as a good tool for the information in situ about the quality of oxides not transformed on InP (covering(collection), porosité, chemical stability)

Full textIn order to increase the corrosion resistance of Ni in artificial seawater, various surface treatments from more classical (thermomechanical treatments) to more sophisticated (ion implantation, electron irradiation, ion beam assisted deposition) have been performed. Many experimental techniques have been used, and impedance spectroscopy is shown to allow a detailled study giving the specific frequency for each step of the corrosion process. A model is proposed accounting for the experimental results. Two main stages are detected with increasing immersion time. The first, corresponding to the passivation of the surface is quick and protective; the second, at longer immersion times, is due to a slow degradation of the passive film induced by the Cl- ions

Full textPlasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) allows formation of a ceramic coating at an ambient temperature at the surface of valve metals and their alloys for industrial applications such as corrosion protection or tribological properties improvement. This process was applied to the AM60magnesium alloy and aluminium 1050. Acoustic Emission (AE) has been used to monitor, to discriminate and to determinate the various physico-chemical processes taking place during PEO : gas evolution, formation, dissolution and dielectric breakdown of the oxide film. The duration of the microdischarges was in the millisecond range; their duration and AE energy increased with the current density, anodising duration and when the POE film covered the entire surface. A decrease of AE energy was observed in AC mode, implying a better growth of oxide film. The film obtained on AM60 in DC mode were porous, partly non-adherent and contained the following crystalline phases: periclase and spinel. The coatings formed in AC mode, on Al 1050 were composed mainly of a dense inner layer (alpha-Al2O3) adherent to the substrate and an outer porous layer (gamma-Al2O3). The electrochemical behaviour of alumina layers has been studied in sulphate and chloride solution by corrosion potential measurements, polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The equivalent electrical circuit model pointed out a semi-infinite porosity. The local electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed a greater homogeneity, stability and corrosion resistance of the thin and dense anodic layers

Full textBiocompatible et résistant à la corrosion des fluides biologiques, le titane reste cependant un matériau inerte : il ne favorise pas de manière active l'intégration osseuse autour de l'implant. La modification de surface du titane à l'échelle nanométrique permet de moduler l'expression des gènes favorisant l'adhésion et la différentiation cellulaire par un mécanisme de mécanotransduction. Dans ces travaux de thèse, nous nous sommes donc attachés développer, caractériser et appliquer une surface nanostructurée directement sur des dispositifs médicaux. Dans un premier temps, notre étude s'est concentrée sur la préparation et la caractérisation physicochimique. Après l'obtention de surface reproductible sur petits échantillons, nos recherches se sont axées sur la caractérisation biologique de la surface. Des études invivo réalisées chez le lapin ont permis de montrer une accroche osseuse renforcée et bonne ostéointégration de la surface nanostructurée en comparaison avec des surfaces couramment utilisées sur le marché. L'application de cette nouvelle surface sur pièce plus complexe comme les prothèses de trachée, nous a permis de rendre compte d'un phénomène de délamination de la couche de nanostructure. Nos recherches se sont donc orientées vers la problématique de tenue mécanique de la surface avec la réalisation de nano scratch-test et tribologie. Un sujet dans l'air du temps, puisqu'une nouvelle règlementation européenne concernant l'incorporation de nanomatériaux dans les dispositifs médicaux rentrera en vigueur en 2017. En conclusion, ces travaux nous permettent de proposer une nouvelle surface améliorant l'intégration tissulaire intéressante pour une application médicale

Full textWe studied the influence of anodic dissolution on the ambient creep behaviour of copper single crystals and polycrystals in acetic acid – sodium acetate buffer solution. The results show that accelerated creep rates of polycrystals and multiple glide single crystals are essentially due to the loss of section caused by anodic dissolution according to Faraday’s law (mechanical effect). On the other hand, results on single crystals oriented for single glide shows that the mechanical effect justify the accelerated creep rates of single crystals at a level of 50%. Results of microscopic investigations - Atomic Force Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy – highlighted a surface dislocations multiplication mechanism

Full textICV injection of MDMA (ecstasy) in rats fails to reproduce long-term toxic effects observed after peripheral administration. Therefore, systemic metabolites play a key role in the development of cytotoxicity. In humans, the major metabolite is 3,4-dihydroxymethamphetamine (HHMA), easily oxidizable to the orthoquinone species. This can further react with endogenous thiol derivatives, yielding quinol-thioether conjugates. In the first part of the thesis, a one pot synthesis of racemic catechol-thioether metabolites has been developed, using anodic oxidation as a mimic of enzymatic oxidation. In the second part, the synthesis of (R)-HHMA, precursor of the enantiomerically pure quinol-thioether adducts, is described starting from L-dopa (inducer of chirality). The third part reports the results of in vitro assays which show that some catechol-thioether conjugates can induce toxic effects leading to the formation of ROS, through redox cycling processes involving o-quinonoid species

Full textAluminium alloys are very used in the aircraft industry as structural materials because of their low density and their good mechanical properties. They have a polyphase microstructure that is causing electrochemical discontinuities and increasing sensitivity to corrosion. A system of protective coatings containing chromate Cr(+VI) is traditionally formed at the surface of these alloys. However, the REACH environmental guidelines impose Cr(+VI) surface treatments replacement because of chromate carcinogenicity. The aim of the thesis work has been the development of a new surface treatment constituted of a sulfuric acid anodizing (SAA) and a sulfate chromium and fluorozirconate salts sealing (Cr3+/ ZrF62-). The study of the SAA electrochemical process linked the alloys microstructure and the anodic layer porous morphology developed at their surface. The Cr3+ / ZrF62- sealing treatment is realized by a simple immersion of the anodized alloy in the solution. It is demonstrated that the sealing is caused by a local alkalinization of the anodized coating surface that leads to the precipitation of the Cr3+ and ZrF62- salts. These ones are forming a sealing film of about 300 nm thick, very covering of the nanometric pores. The anodic layers sealing greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the anodized alloys by forming an additional barrier against corrosive agents and by healing the corrosion initiation. The developed treatment allows both to achieve Cr(+VI) treatments performance over a wide range of alloys and to satisfy the environmental requirements

Full textCathodic protection is commonly used to prevent the corrosion of carbon steels in seawater. This method consists in decreasing the potential of metal so that its corrosion kinetics becomes negligible. It can be achieved via two different procedures. The first one consists in using a generator to provide a sufficiently cathodic current, the second one consists in coupling the metal with so called sacrificial anodes made of a less noble alloy. Cathodic protection promotes oxygen reduction on the metal surface, that is production of OH- ions, increase of the interfacial pH and finally the formation of a mineral deposit. This isolating layer hinders the diffusion of dissolved O2 and therefore decreases the current required for protection. A better understanding of the physico-chemical properties of these deposits should permit to optimise the protection, decrease the energetic need or the sacrificial anodes dissolution. The experiments described here were performed using steel electrodes in artificial seawater. This allowed us to vary an important number of parameters, in particular the composition of the electrolyte. The deposition of Ca compounds and that of Mg compounds were studied separately before the investigation of the simultaneous deposition of Ca and Mg compounds. Chronoamperommetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to study the kinetics of formation of the deposits. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy were used to characterise the deposits

Full textThe electrochemical behaviour of the bulk intermetallic particles such as Al2Cu, Al2CuMg, Al7Cu2Fe, (Al,Cu)16(Mn,Fe)4Si3 and MgZn2 showed that the formation of wide defects in the oxide layer during the 2214-T6 and 7050-T74 alloys anodization was directly due to the presence of these kind of particles in the microstructure which are able to sustain both high dissolution rate and high water oxidation kinetics in acidic electrolyte. In marine environment, these defects facilitate the migration of aggressive ions like chloride on the locally bare alloys and are the onset of the pitting corrosion. The results obtained in 3.5 wt.% sodium chloride electrolyte permit to understand the corrosion mechanism of the intermetallic phases and their influence on the pits propagation. The optimization of the alloys pickling conditions in order to remove this kind of particles (prior to the anodization step) has been investigated in this work. Consequence of removing intermetallic particles, the aluminium enrichment of the surface facilitates the oxide growth and the formation of regular layer. The corrosion tests on treated aluminium alloys have clearly showed the influence of the pickling step on the resistance corrosion of 2214 and 7050 alloys, reaching the objectives fixed in this project

Full textThermal exchanges between space vehicles and their environment are only radiative. A passive thermal regulation is possible using black inorganic coatings, prepared on aluminium alloys substrates, due to their thermo-optical properties (as>0,93; en>0,90). However, several cases of film flaking have been observed after thermal cycling performed to simulate the space environment. The goal of this work is the understanding of the anomaly causes, which could be a critical contamination source for the satellite. The process of black anodizing is composed of four main steps: pretreatments, sulphuric anodizing, inorganic colouring, and sealing. The influence of each step on the film's microstructure and composition has been studied. In particular, it has been shown that an increase of the anodizing temperature results in a drastic increase of the film porosity. Thermo-mechanical properties of these films (such as the Young modulus, residual stress, limit tensile stress or the coefficient of thermal expansion) have been experimentally determined. It has been proved that the colouring and sealing steps can lead to the crazing of highly porous anodic films. Adhesion evaluation (peel, scratch and four point bending tests) and a finite element model were used to identify the mechanisms of degradation during thermal cycling. Differential thermal expansions and dehydration of the film favour crack propagation inside the film and can lead to flaking
