Full textThe determination of paint coating's ageing criteria after long term service is necessary in many industrial configurations. In this work, we have studied by ultrasonic reflectometry the evolution of the elasticity of paint coated on a metallic plate in order to detect in a non destructive way the damage induced by thermal accelerated ageing tests. The simulation of the reflection coefficient identifies a particular mode whose critical angle is preferentially sensitive to the elasticity of the paint layer in a particular range of frequency. This result is in agreement with experimental tests performed on 100 µm thick paint coated on a steel plate. These samples are heated at 80°C and 110°C during 4000 hours. The everyday measurement of the evolution of the critical angle allows the identification of the time necessary to reach the complete drying of the paint coating. This parameter depends on the heating temperature. The total variations of these critical angular positions indicate a small increase less than 2% of the paint's elasticity moduli. In parallel, the change of the chemical structure is detected by the measurement of the glass transition temperature and the concentration of some markers identified by FTIR. This chemical change is linked to a small variation of elasticity implying an angular resolution less than 0.1°. For an easier differentiation of the rigidity of these thermally aged coatings, an enhanced sensibility is obtained by changing the temperature during the reflectometry measurements

Full textThe market of organic matrix composite (OMC) materials for the realisation of “cold” (-55°C < T < RT) structural parts is going towards saturation and aircraft manufacturers foresee the employment of 3D reinforced OMC in “warm” (50°C < T < 300°C) aircraft structural parts (nacelles, turbo-engines). These environmental conditions may lead to degradation phenomena over long time. The action of environment and the complexity of the material microstructure may lead to the development of material property gradients. At high temperature, the organic polymer matrix may exhibit complex time-dependent behaviour. Therefore, there is a need to develop an experimental technique able to characterise the material behaviour at local scale and to capture material gradients and time-dependent behaviour. The present work proposes the development of a cyclic instrumented indentation test to tackle all these issues. Instrumented indentation is a popular testing technique: its basic version, appropriate for elasto-plastic materials, includes the realisation of a single loading/unloading test, the measurement of the material hardness through the analysis of the indentation print, and the analysis of the unloading curve based on the assumption of elastic unloading behaviour to obtain the indentation modulus. This analysis is inappropriate for materials exhibiting time-dependent behaviour, which leads to the need of a new method optimized for polymer materials.Several indentation methods are available for polymer materials (indentation creep, nanoDMA), but are limited to some specific loadings. The instrumented indentation cyclic test proposed in this work tries to emphasize the whole complexity of the polymer behaviour, is inspired by macroscopic cyclic tests and is analysed similarly. The technique is first set up and developed by testing a HDPE thermoplastic polymer, for which the response to macroscopic cyclic tension and shear loading isknown. By following, at different frequencies, the evolution with time (with cycles) of the principal indicators of the cyclic behaviour – that is, the indentation modulus, the hysteresis loop area and the indentation depth accumulation - it is possible to highlight the time-dependent response of the material and to perform a proper – though qualitative - comparison with the macroscopic behaviour. The cyclic indentation protocol is then employed to study the material gradients in a thermoset PR520epoxy resin subjected to thermal aging at 150°C under air at atmospheric pressure (up to 1000h), 2 barO2 (for 400h) and N2. It is shown that the evolution with cycles of the indentation modulus and the cyclic creep is not affected by thermal aging. However, their absolute values vary from the surface to the core of polymer indicating the presence of gradients. The hysteresis of the first cycle is different through the gradient: from the second cycle, however, the hysteresis is similar for all aging conditions and distances from the exposed surface. Moreover, the time-dependent behaviour stays unchanged. Results from samples aged under 2 bar O2 and 2 bar N2 allow to conclude that the aging kinetics is not related to pure thermo-oxidation phenomena. The cyclic indentation method is finally applied to characterise the behaviour of PR520 epoxy matrix within a 3D interlock textile composite, in its virgin state and thermally aged at 150°C under air at atmospheric pressure (up to 1000h). The polymer inlarge matrix pockets between the fibrous reinforcements is studied in this work, so the constrainingeffect coming from the reinforcement is negligible. The study of the composite in virgin state revealsthat the behaviour of polymer matrix close to the external surface is different from that located ininternal zones of the composite and from the neat polymer. The comparison between the thermallyaged neat polymer and matrix in internal zones of the composite shows that the environment-inducedproperty gradients are similar

Full textThe work of this thesis focuses on the stabilization of several hybrid pigments.The first part deals with pigment obtained with carminic acid and montmorillonite, a common clay. A method of reversing the surface charge of the clay with a cationic polymer, or the use of clays modified with titanium and aluminum polycations, allows the elaboration of the pigment. The resistance of the pigments to photodegradation is then tested. Coupled NMR, DRX, FTIR and EPR techniques help to illuminate the arrangement of organic molecules on the mineral surface, and also to follow the dye degradation process.The description of hybrid pigments obtained using a spiropyran completes the study. The compound, which plays the role of organic dye, is added to different mineral matrices: clay, modified or not, and co-precipitation with organosilanes. These syntheses make it possible to observe the variety of color obtained by mixing the same dye with several matrices of different nature

Full textDer Hauptzweck dieser Doktorarbeit war es, ein praktisch verwendbares und theoretisch gut fundiertes Modell der Lichtausbreitung in nicht gealterten und gealterten POFs zu entwickeln und es durch optische Experimente zu verifizieren. Dabei wurden anwendungsorientierte Aspekte mit theoretischer POF-Modellierung kombiniert. Die Arbeit enthält die erste bekannte Anwendung der Wellenanalyse zur Untersuchung der winkelabhängigen Eigenschaften der Streuung in Lichtwellenleitern.
Für die praktischen Experimente wurden mehrere POF-Proben unterschiedlicher Hersteller künstlich gealtert, indem sie bis 4500 Stunden bei 100 °C gelagert wurden (ohne Feuchtekontrolle). Die Parameter der jeweiligen Simulationen wurden mittels einer systematischen Optimierung an die gemessen optischen Eigenschaften der gealterten Proben angeglichen. Die Resultate deuten an, dass der Übertragungsverlust der gealterten Fasern in den ersten Tagen und Wochen der Alterung am stärksten durch eine wesentliche physikalische Verschlechterung der Kern-Mantel-Grenzfläche verursacht wird. Chemische Effekte des Alterungsprozesses scheinen im Faserkernmaterial zuerst nach einigen Monaten aufzutreten.
This thesis discusses theoretical and practical aspects of modelling of light propagation in non-aged and aged step-index polymer optical fibres (POFs). Special attention has been paid in describing optical characteristics of non-ideal fibres, scattering and attenuation, and in combining application-oriented and theoretical approaches. The precedence has been given to practical issues, but much effort has been also spent on the theoretical analysis of basic mechanisms governing light propagation in cylindrical waveguides.
As a result a practically usable general POF model based on the raytracing approach has been developed and implemented. A systematic numerical optimisation of its parameters has been performed to obtain the best fit between simulated and measured optical characteristics of numerous non-aged and aged fibre samples. The model was verified by providing good agreement, especially for the non-aged fibres. The relations found between aging time and optimal values of model parameters contribute to a better understanding of the aging mechanisms of POFs.

Full textThis PhD work presents the fabrication, processing and characterizations of thermoplastic thermostable polymer blends. It aims at finding new materials useable at high temperatures for aeronautical applications. Poly(ether ketone ketone), PEKK, a semi-crystalline polymer, has been chosen for its high glass transition temperature (Tg) and high melting point (Tf). Amorphous polyimides, that have been used for their high Tg, are Poly(ether imide), PEI, and Polyimide, PI. The aim of these blends is to increase the Tg of the PEKK without increasing its Tf. We have measured the thermal, mechanical and rheological properties of each neat polymer and the processing conditions of the blends have been defined. The properties of the blends have been characterized by thermomechanical analyses, differential scanning calorimetry and tensile tests to focus on the better candidates for the aimed applications. The classical empirical models of the Tg composition dependence take only into account the blends composition. We propose to correct them taking into account the crystallinity level, that affects the blends composition and predict a better prediction of the Tg . The short term ageing of these polymer blends specimens in a commonly used aeronautic fluid has also been studied, and showed the protection effect of the PEKK polymer in the blends

Full textThe aim of this work is to develop a thick steel / polymer composite for weight savings in automotive industry. Formability, dent and corrosion resistance, damping behaviour, impact resistance (-30°C; + 80°C) could be offered by such materials. A key challenge when developing steel/polymer composite is to ensure a high steel/polymer adhesion level to face material processing (e.g. cutting, forming, ED-paint process) and ageing. The material described in this paper is a two-layer composite consisting of a rigid polymer layer of typically 0.3 mm and one thin Zn coated steel skin of 0.5mm. The metal is treated with a hexafluorotitanic acid based conversion coating (standard solution) and the polymer is a two-layer film displaying: - an adhesive layer (40 μm) of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene - an reinforced polypropylene copolymer layer (260 μm) The influence of the conversion coating (nature, composition) and the ageing behavior in humid environment in order to optimize the steel/polymer multi-material have been studied in this work

Neste estudo, o ligante asfÃltico (LA) brasileiro oriundo do Campo Fazenda Alegre foi modificado por copolÃmero de etileno e acetato de vinila (EVA) virgem, resÃduo da indÃstria de calÃados (EVAR) e fibra de coco (FC). Aditivos, como o lÃquido da castanha de caju (LCC) e o Ãleo extensor (OE) foram utilizados para melhorar a compatibilidade da mistura. O polÃmero e os aditivos foram caracterizados atravÃs de espectroscopia no infravermelho, termogravimetria e calorimetria exploratÃria diferencial. A avaliaÃÃo dos espectros FTIR dos ligantes apÃs envelhecimento simulado em estufa RTFOT, mostraram que os ligantes modificados com EVAR e EVA/FC foram mais resistentes ao processo oxidativo, provavelmente, devido à presenÃa de aditivos, como o carbonato de cÃlcio, na composiÃÃo do resÃduo. As curvas termogravimÃtricas dos LAs modificados apresentaram comportamento semelhante ao ligante puro. As propriedades reolÃgicas tambÃm foram avaliadas atravÃs de ensaios em: viscosÃmetro e reÃmetro de cisalhamento dinÃmico (DSR). O envelhecimento, de maneira geral, provoca aumento da rigidez e da viscosidade, porÃm as curvas mestras indicaram que o efeito do envelhecimento à mais expressivo nas temperaturas intermediÃrias a altas, e aumentaram a elasticidade ao longo do espectro de frequÃncias. A viscosidade zero shear (ZSV) obtida pelos modelos de Cross e Williamson apresentou-se mais elevada do que o modelo de Carreau. AlÃm disso, as imagens obtidas no microscÃpio de forÃa atÃmica (MFA) mostraram que o polÃmero EVA intumesceu devido à absorÃÃo de fraÃÃo aromÃtica do ligante, rompendo a estabilidade coloidal. Assim sendo, a adiÃÃo do Ãleo extensor preveniu a separaÃÃo de fases. Para o ligante modificado com EVAR, a mistura apresentou boa estabilidade à estocagem somente apÃs adiÃÃo de Ãleo extensor. A presenÃa do LCC e OE mostrou melhorar a susceptibilidade tÃrmica dos ligantes modificados.
The development of new methodologies in the field of road engineering has been a concern, aimed to the improvement of the quality of paved roads making them safer and more durable. Some innovations introduced in this area have been practiced with the application of modified asphalt binder (AB), demonstrated to improve asphalt binder performance, contributing to the reduction of the formation of wheel tracks and of thermal cracking. In this study, the Brazilian asphalt binder from Fazenda Alegre oil reserve was modified by virgin ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), residue of the industry of footwears (EVAR) and coir fiber (CF). Additives, such as the cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) and extensor oil (EO) were used to improve the compatibility of the mixture. The polymer and additives were characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy, termogravimetry and diferencial scanning calorimetry. The evaluation of the spectra FTIR of the binders after simulated aging in RTFOT, showed that the modified binders with EVAR and EVA/FC were more resistant to oxidative hardening, probably due to the presence of the additive, in the composition of the residue, such as the calcium carbonate. The termogravimetry curves of the modified ABs presented behavior similar to the pure binder. The rheological properties were also evaluated by tests with the viscometer and the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). In general, ageing causes an increase in stiffness and viscosity, however the master curves indicated that the effect of aging is most significant in the intermediate to high temperatures and increases the elasticity along the spectrum of frequencies. The zero shear viscosity (ZSV) obtained by the models of Cross and Williamson was higher than the Carreau model. In addition atomic force microscopy (AFM) images were obtained in the showed that the EVA polymer sweeling suggest that part of the maltenic fraction of the binder was absorbed by the polymer. For the binder modified with EVAR, the mixture showed good stability only after the addition of the extensor oil. The presence of CNSL and EO improved the thermal susceptibility of the modified binders.

Full textEpoxy-amine thermosets are often used in civil engineering to protect concrete structures, but they are themselves sensitive to chemical and physical ageing. This thesis is part of the ANR ECLIPS project aiming to characterize ageing and its effects on the mechanical and barrier properties of the materials. Three epoxy-amine networks made from DGEBA and ethylamine hardeners of increasing complexity – DGEBA-EDA, DGEBA-DETA, DGEBA-TETA – were chosen to accurately identify weak spots of the molecular structure. Different techniques were used to characterize multi-scale changes of the network after thermal ageing at different temperatures. At the molecular scale, the predominant formation of amide groups N−C=O was observed while an FTIR signal attributed to N−CH2 groups held by hardener segments was found to disappear with ageing. A complementary theoretical study on the Bond Dissociation Energies (BDE) was carried out using molecules representative of the repetitive pattern of the network. The C−H bond held by the same hardener N−CH2 group was found to be the most sensitive to oxidation as its BDE is the lowest. At the macromolecular scale, a predominant chain scission process was identified with ageing. Two sub-glass relaxations were observed for the DGEBA-DETA network. One associated to the hydroxypropyl ether group −CH2−CH(OH)−CH2− motions whose intensity increases with time. The other one of unknown origin quickly disappearing with ageing. Mechanical properties were characterized and a correlation with oxidation of the structure was established

Full textRovings made of AR-glass are used in textile reinforced concrete. During the manufacturing process the sizing is applied on the AR-glass filaments. The chemical constitution of the sizing determines the quality of the filament-matrix-interface but also the chemical durability of the glass filaments in alkaline environment. The durability is evaluated by accelerated ageing tests in aqueous, alkaline solutions. In alkaline solutions, the reaction of hydroxyl ions with Si-O-Si-groups of the glass network leads to the formation of hydrated surfaces and dissolved silicate. The rate of this corrosion depends on the chemical constitution of the fibre and the alkaline solution as well as on time and temperature. The investigation of the ageing of glass fibres with different chemical constitutions in NaOH and cement solutions shows that the corrosion mechanism changes due to the inhibiting effect of calcium ions. The strength distributions have been evaluated using a Weibull distribution function. The mechanical behaviour strongly depends on the chemistry of the solution and determines the parameters of the Weibull distribution function in terms of either single or mixed distributions. The corrosion in NaOH solution leads to a strong dissolution of the outer layer of the glass fibres, whereas during aging in cement solution at the same pH-value a limited, local attack was revealed. The evaluation of polymer coatings is realised by the ageing of concrete composites at different temperatures and humidities to deduce adequate ageing conditions for the comparison of different coatings

Full textVacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) were already developed some time ago for low-temperature applications such as refrigerators. More recently, they have been used for the building application. They consist of a fine powder or fiber core material (fumed silica, glass fiber, PU foam) enveloped by a polymer-metal. The latter is responsible for preventing gas and water molecules from breaking the vacuum. Nevertheless, the use of VIPs for this application was limited for applications in severe conditions as for example: temperature, humidity and mechanical load. At high temperature and/or humidity, the most critical component of a VIP is the envelope: both for the tightness point of view and for its degradation. Consequently in these conditions, the vacuum was degraded and durability of the panel performance was decreased sharply.This work focuses on the degradation mechanisms of the polymer-metal envelope. The effect of hygrothermal ageing (70 °C and 90 %RH) on envelope was investigated at different scales: Microscopic: High humidity is at the origin of the hydrolysis of some components such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyurethane adhesive (PU). Hydrolysis is directly at the origin of the changes mechanical properties, leading to embrittlement of the complex. An additional microstructural modifications was evidence in PET at high humidity and also contributes to embrittlement of the complex. Macroscopic: shrinkage of polymer film seems to be the origin of debonding in polymer-metal multilayer

Full textThe application of composite materials and in particular the fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) has gradually conquered space from the so called conventional materials. However, challenges have arisen when their application occurs in equipment and mechanical structures which will be exposed to harsh environmental conditions, especially when there is the influence of environmental degradation due to temperature, UV radiation and moisture in the mechanical performance of these structures, causing irreversible structural damage such as loss of dimensional stability, interfacial degradation, loss of mass, loss of structural properties and changes in the damage mechanism. In this context, the objective of this thesis is the development of a process for monitoring and modeling structural degradation, and the study of the physical and mechanical properties in FRP when in the presence of adverse environmental conditions (ageing). The mechanism of ageing is characterized by controlled environmental conditions of heated steam and ultraviolet radiation. For the research, it was necessary to develop three polymer composites. The first was a lamina of polyester resin reinforced with a short glass-E fiber mat (representing the layer exposed to ageing), and the other two were laminates, both of seven layers of reinforcement, one being made up only of short fibers of glass-E, and the other a hybrid type reinforced with fibers of glass-E/ fibers of curaua. It should be noted that the two laminates have the lamina of short glass-E fibers as a layer of the ageing process incidence. The specimens were removed from the composites mentioned and submitted to environmental ageing accelerated by an ageing chamber. To study the monitoring and modeling of degradation, the ageing cycles to which the lamina was exposed were: alternating cycles of UV radiation and heated steam, a cycle only of UV radiation and a cycle only of heated steam, for a period defined by norm. The laminates have already undergone only the alternating cycle of UV and heated steam. At the end of the exposure period the specimens were subjected to a structural stability assessment by means of the developed measurement of thickness variation technique (MTVT) and the measurement of mass variation technique (MMVT). Then they were subjected to the mechanical tests of uniaxial tension for the lamina and all the laminates, besides the bending test on three points for the laminates. This study was followed by characterization of the fracture and the surface degradation. Finally, a model was developed for the composites called Ageing Zone Diagram (AZD) for monitoring and predicting the tensile strength after the ageing processes. From the results it was observed that the process of degradation occurs Abstract Raimundo Nonato Barbosa Felipe xiv differently for each composite studied, although all were affected in certain way and that the most aggressive ageing process was that of UV radiation, and that the hybrid laminated fibers of glass-E/curaua composite was most affected in its mechanical properties

Full textA deep understanding of the ageing behaviour within cross-linked elastomers filled by inorganic particles is a key feature to propose a criterion for the end of life of electric cables in nuclear power plants. Indeed, materials used for wire insulation are usually composed of rubbers designed with several adjuvants and fillers. A significant amount of inorganic particles, such as aluminium trihydrate (ATH), is usually incorporated with the polymer matrix in order to achieve satisfactory fire-retardant properties. The ATH particles used are characterized by a micrometric-size and due to the weak polymer / filler contact area involved in such composites, the ageing mechanisms of the polymer matrix are expected to be essentially unchanged compared to the ones involved in the unfilled matrix. However, recent studies pointed out some differences in the thermal-ageing mechanisms between a cross-linked EPDM rubber (elastomer based on ethylene, propylene and diene units) filled by micrometric ATH (aluminium trihydrate) particles and the corresponding unfilled cross-linked EPDM.In that respect, this work aims at investigating the extent of generality of the above-mentioned filler effect on both thermo- and radio-oxidative ageing behaviour of an EPDM matrix filled by ATH particles. In particular, the influence of both filler content and filler surface functionalization is investigated. A special attention was paid to the evolution of the network at the macromolecular scale by determining the fraction of the various network components (elastically active chains, dangling chains and extractibles) as well as the cross-link density distribution. Such information have been derived using solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance).The results obtained evidence a significant decrease of the thermal-ageing induction period for the EPDM network filled by ATH particles. This effect display a strong dependence with the amount and the surface functionalization of the ATH particles. However, no modifications of the oxidation kinetics may be observed under radio-chemical ageing. The comparison between the results suggests a possible modification of the oxidation initiation mechanisms within EPDM networks filled by ATH particles. Therefore, interfacial areas should play a great role in the observed modifications

Full textThe nowadays increased awareness towards environmental issues concerns aircraft structures in terms of environmental impact and end-of-life disposal. In this optics, the possibility of replacing in the organic matrix composites (CMO) employed for aircraft applications the non-recyclable thermosetting matrix with a recyclable thermoplastic one is investigated. Moreover, thermoplastic polymers, such PEKK, have the possibility of being employed in warmer structures (e.g. the aircraft pylon), undergoing long duration solicitations (creep).The service temperatures for those structures are higher than the PEKK glass transition temperature, provoking, in the material, a loss of properties deriving from a change of state from solid to rubber, and possibly the activation of crystallization and degradation phenomena, which could also interact. This work aims to identify and model the mechanisms characterizing PEKK behavior, under the structure operative service conditions. This is achieved from the analysis of the results of thermomechanical, physical-chemical and coupled thermomechanical/oxidation tests. The resulting 1-D analytical model of the PEKK behavior, is extended in 3-D and implemented in a multi-scale semi-analytical homogenization / localization method to simulate PEKK based composites under the same conditions, varying the plies orientation and stacking sequence
