Desde a prospecção do minério bauxita, passando pelo seu beneficiamento até a sua entrada no processo Bayer, tem-se como principais índices de qualidade e de processo os parâmetros químicos: alumina aproveitável (Al2O3Ap) e sílica reativa (SiO2Re), determinados segundo um procedimento que simula a digestão Bayer em escala de laboratório. Uma grande inovação para a indústria da bauxita seria fazer o controle por parâmetros mineralógicos, % gibbsita e % caulinita, via difratometria de raios X, intenção buscada nesse trabalho pela proposta de um método combinado Rietveld-Le Bail-Padrão Interno, cujos resultados são bem promissores para bauxitas gibbsíticas tipo-Paragominas, matriz para qual foi desenvolvido. Tal combinação não só melhorou a qualidade da quantificação de gibbsita e caulinita, como diminuiu o peso de cálculo tornando o procedimento mais prático e rápido. A alta correlação (r2=0,99) entre os resultados mineralógicos pelo método combinado e os resultados químicos pelo método tradicional, os deixam em igual escolha, pois foram iguais estatisticamente. No entanto, ressalta-se que o método tradicional subestima o valor de caulinita pela conversão da SiO2Re, enquanto o método combinado se aproxima mais do valor verdadeiro. Obter um resultado pelo método combinado mostrou ser mais prático e rápido que pelo método tradicional. Enquanto o tempo total estimado pelo combinado é < 3 h, pelo tradicional é de no mínimo 6 h. Como proposta de validação do método combinado, um segundo foi desenvolvido para quantificação de Al-goethita por DSC, o qual mostrou boa precisão. E muito embora o uso da técnica no controle industrial seja pouco provável por questões de praticidade e tempo de análise, usá-la na validação de antigos e novos métodos de quantificação mineralógica de bauxitas pode ser muito útil. A ordem crescente de substituição de Fe por Al pretendida pelas sínteses planejadas (7 variedades) foi confirmada pelos resultados de DRX, FRX, DSC e MEV, e assim um pequeno banco de dados de entalpias padrão de desidroxilação de Al-goethitas foi estabelecido. A produção de padrões complexos, misturas de variedades goethíticas, é tão importante quanto produzir uma só goethita, pois tais misturas são termodinamicamente comuns na natureza e, portanto, comuns em bauxitas. Após uma identificação clara da limitação do método tradicional para estimar caulinita pela conversão de SiO2Re em bauxitas tipo-Paragominas, um estudo de otimização do método Alcan foi realizado com base em um planejamento fatorial completo 23. As variáveis escolhidas foram temperatura, concentração cáustica e tempo para duas situações: bauxita com baixa SiO2Re e bauxita com alta SiO2Re. A temperatura foi a variável mais importante, apresentando um efeito positivo sobre a quantidade de SiO2Re, uma vez que o aumento na temperatura aumentou a taxa de conversão completa de caulinita em sodalita. Modelos empíricos de 1ª ordem foram apropriadamente obtidos para predição da quantidade de SiO2Re como função da temperatura, concentração cáustica e tempo, os quais responderam com as seguintes condições ótimas: (1) sem presença significante de quartzo - temperatura de 180 °C, concentração cáustica de 10 % com tempo de 60 min para baixa SiO2Re e 25 min para alta SiO2Re, e (2) com presença significante de quartzo - temperatura de 150 °C, concentração cáustica de 20 % e tempo de 60 min, para ambas as situações estudadas. / In the bauxite industry - exploration, beneficiation and refinery - two main chemical parameters are used for the quality control: available alumina (AvAl2O3) and reactive silica (RxSiO2). They are determined by a procedure that simulates the Bayer process in laboratory scale. A great innovation for this industry would be to make this control by mineralogical parameters, i.e., the % of gibbsite and % of kaolinite via Powder X-ray Diffraction Analysis. This is one of the main purposes of this work by means of a combined Rietveld-Le Bail-Internal Standard Method, whose results were very promising for the Paragominas-type bauxites. This combination not only improved the quality of gibbsite and kaolinite quantification, as decreased computer processing time, making it a more convenient and fast procedure. The high correlation (r2=0.99) between the mineralogical results from the combined method and chemical results by the traditional method, leave them the same choice, as they were statistically equal. However, it is noteworthy that the traditional method underestimates the kaolinite value obtained from the conversion of RxSiO2, while the combined method is closer to the true value. Obtaining a result by the combined method proved to be more convenient and faster (< 3 hours) than the traditional method (at least 6 hours). As a validation for the proposed combined method, a second method was developed to quantify Al-goethite by DSC, which showed good accuracy. Although the use of DSC technique in industrial control is unlikely for practical reasons and analysis time, its use can be very helpful in the validation of old and new methods for the mineralogical quantification of bauxites. XRD, XRF, DSC and SEM results confirmed the increasing order of Al for Fe replacement intended for the planned synthesis (7 types). Thus, a small database of standard enthalpies of Al-goethites dehydroxylation was built. The production of standards of goethites mixtures is as important as producing a single goethite standard, because these are thermodynamically common in nature and thus bauxites with complex mixtures of goethites are also common. After clearly identifying the limitations of the traditional method to estimate kaolinite from the conversion of RxSiO2 in the Paragominas-type bauxites, an optimization study of the Alcan method was carried out based on a 23 full factorial design. The chosen variables were temperature, caustic concentration and time, for two main situations: bauxite with low RxSiO2 and bauxite with high RxSiO2. The temperature was the most important variable, with a positive effect on the amount of RxSiO2, since the increase in temperature increased the rate of full kaolinite to sodalite conversion. First-order empirical models were properly obtained to predict the amount of RxSiO2 as a function of temperature, caustic concentration and time, which responded to the following optimal conditions: (1) without significant amount of quartz - 180 °C, NaOH 10 % and 60 min for low RxSiO2 and 25 min for high SiO2Re, and (2) with significant amount of quartz - 150 °C, NaOH 20 % and 60 min for both situations.

Aujourd’hui, la recherche sur les technologies de stockage d’énergie connaît un essor important dû au fort développement de l’électronique portable et des modes de transport écologiques. La plupart des batteries commercialisées utilisent des électrolytes liquides ou à base de liquides qui limitent leur stabilité thermique, la densité d’énergie et la sécurité. Ces limitations pourraient être considérablement diminuées par l’utilisation d’électrolytes polymères solides (SPE) et la technologie lithium métal polymère (LMP). L’objectif des SPE est de combiner au sein du même matériau une conductivité ionique élevée et une tenue mécanique suffisante pour éviter la formation de dentrites de lithium. Dans ce contexte, les copolymères triblocs PS-b-POE-b-PS, avec le POE comme bloc conducteur et le bloc PS apportant la résistance mécanique, sont d’excellents candidats. Afin d’établir des corrélations composition/morphologie/performance, le but de mes travaux de thèse est d’obtenir une caractérisation détaillée des copolymères à blocs synthétisés. Ainsi, les PS-b-POE-b-PS synthétisés (NMP) ont été analysés par chromatographie liquide aux conditions limites de désorption LC LCD. De plus, les analyses de la nano structuration (AFM, TEM et SAXS), des propriétés thermiques (DSC) et mécaniques (DMA) sont discutées. Enfin, des mesures d’impédance ont été effectuées via des cellules symétriques Lithium/ Electrolyte/ Lithium. / The research on electrochemical storage of energy is today in a stage of fast and profound evolution owing to the strong development of portable electronics requesting power energy as well as the requirement of greener transport modes. Most commercial batteries use liquid or liquid-based electrolytes, which limits their thermal stability, energy density and safety. These limitations could be considerably offset by the use of solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) and lithium metal polymer technology (LMP). However, the main drawback of the SPE is the decrease of the ionic conductivity with increasing mechanical strength, necessary to avoid the formation of lithium dendrites during the recharge of the battery. In this context, triblock copolymers PS-b-PEO-b-PS with a PEO block as ionic conductor and PS block providing mechanical strength was a promising candidate as SPE. In order to build composition/morphology/performance relationships, the aim of my PhD is to characterize carefully the block copolymer. For that purpose, the PS-b-PEO-b-PS synthesized (NMP) were characterized using Liquid Chromatography under Limiting Conditions of Desorption (LC LCD). Furthermore, analyses of morphologies and nano-structure by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) techniques, analyses of thermal (DSC) and mechanical (DSC) properties will be also discussed. Finally, measures of impedance were made via symmetric cells Lithium / Electrolyte / Lithium.

Esta tese envolveu o estudo da dinâmica molecular em copolímeros em bloco compostos de poli(metacrilato de metila) (PMMA), poli(ácido acrílico) (PAA) e Poli(acrilato de chumbo) (PAPb) por técnicas de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear e de análise térmica (DSC e DMTA). Estes copolímeros em bloco foram sintetizados visando a obtenção de compostos para serem utilizados, tanto como lentes oftálmicas com maiores índices de refração, como materiais dedicados à proteção radiológica, sendo estas duas propriedades de emprego individual ou integrado. Para o estudo destes materiais, as amostras foram confeccionadas com várias composições, incluindo aquelas nas formas puras contendo apenas um bloco, resultantes da combinação de dois blocos, e as triblocos, com diferentes quantidades relativas de PAPb, variando de 1 a 40%. Para o caso do PMMA, a dinâmica molecular é bem conhecida, sendo caracterizada por uma relaxação &beta;, que envolve mais especificamente movimentos de seus ramos laterais e que ocorre dentro de um amplo intervalo de temperatura centrado em torno da ambiente, e pela transição vítrea, que envolve, predominantemente, movimentos da cadeia principal que ocorrem para temperaturas em torno de 100oC. Devido à extensão destes dois eventos em grandes intervalos de temperatura, eles acabam se superpondo já em temperaturas abaixo de 100oC. O fato da relaxação &beta; ocorrer para o PMMA em torno da temperatura ambiente, confere-lhe uma de suas características mais importantes, não ser quebradiço. Porém, devido à presença do grupo hidroxila no PAA, que permite a ocorrência de ligações de hidrogênio entre os diferentes ramos laterais, a relaxação &beta; é suprimida neste material, tornando-o quebradiço e não adequado para as aplicações desejadas. No caso do copolímero tribloco, espera-se que o PAPb também possa interferir na característica mecânica final do material, em função de sua participação na dinâmica molecular do copolímero. Para este estudo foram preparadas várias amostras com diferentes quantidades relativas de PMMA, PAA e PAPb, de modo entendermos a dinâmica molecular destes materiais, individual e coletivamente, afim de selecionar os mais indicados para as aplicações tecnológicas almejadas. Para o estudo destas amostras, utilizamos tanto técnicas de análise térmica (DSC e DMTA), que fornecem, de forma relativamente rápida, dados importantes sobre a dinâmica macroscópica, quanto métodos básicos e avançados de RMN no estado sólido, que propiciam informações mais detalhadas sobre a dinâmica molecular. Estes estudos indicaram que a presença do PAA, obrigatória na rota de síntese utilizada para a inserção do PAPb, é um elemento indesejável no produto final, pois ele sempre atua na supressão da relaxação &beta;. Adicionalmente, os dados obtidos indicaram que o PAPb, em grandes quantidades, também age na supressão desta relaxação. Embora a proposição destes novos materiais para a área oftálmica não ser muito adequada, já que a quantidade de PAPb necessária para a obtenção de amostras com bons índices de refração deve ser grande (bem acima de 5%, quando elas tornam-se quebradiças), as amostras com pequenos conteúdos de PAPb (até 5%) permitiram uma redução de até 50% dos raios-x incidentes. Finalmente, os estudos realizados por técnicas que observam detalhes da dinâmica molecular, tanto em níveis macroscópicos (DSC e DMTA), quanto moleculares (RMN), ofereceram excelentes informações básicas tanto sobre a mobilidade dos diferentes ramos que compõem os copolímeros em bloco, quanto a interação/miscibilidade entre os diferentes blocos, que afeta também a dinâmica global do sistema. / This thesis involved the study of molecular dynamics in triblock copolymers consisting of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) and Poly (lead acrylate) (PAPb) by solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and thermal analyses (DSC and DMTA). These block copolymers were synthesized in order to obtain materials not only presenting higher refractive index but also offering good radiological protection, which are useful for individual and combined applications. For the study of these materials, the samples were prepared with various compositions, including those in pure form containing only a block, resulting from the combination of two blocks, and the triblock with different relative amounts of PAPb, ranging from 1 to 40%. In the case of PMMA, the molecular dynamics is well known, characterized by a &beta; relaxation, which involves more specifically the ester side-group dynamics occurring within a broad temperature range centered around the room temperature, and the glass transition, predominantly involving the main chain dynamics that occur for temperatures around 100oC. Due to large extension of these two dynamical events in wide temperature ranges, they merge at temperatures below 100oC. The fact that the &beta; relaxation occurs for the PMMA around the room temperature, confers to it one of its most important features, toughness. However, due to the presence of the hydroxyl group in PAA, which allows the occurrence of hydrogen links between different branches, the &beta; relaxation in this material is strongly suppressed, making it brittle and not suitable for the desired applications. In the case of the triblock copolymer, it is also expected that PAPb may also interfere with the mechanical properties of the final material due to its involvement in the full molecular dynamics of the copolymer. For this study, several samples were prepared with different relative amounts of PMMA, PAA and PAPb, in order to understand the molecular dynamics of these materials, individually and collectively, and select the most suitable ones for the desired technological applications. To characterize and study these samples, we employed thermal analyses (DSC and DMTA), which give quick and important data on the macroscopic dynamics, and basic and advanced solid-state NMR methods, which provide more detailed information about he molecular dynamics. These studies indicated that PAA, necessary along the synthesis route used for the insertion of PAPb in the triblock copolymers, is an undesirable element in the final product, because it is always acting on the suppression of &beta; relaxation. Although the proposition of these new materials for the ophthalmic area is not very appropriate, since the amount of PAPb necessary to obtain good refraction indexes would be necessarily large (over 5%, when they become brittle), the samples with small amounts of PAPb (up to 5%, when they present good mechanical properties) allowed a significant reduction of about 50% of the incident x-rays. Finally, using solid-state NMR methods, including modern Exchange experiments and thermal analyses (DSC and DMTA), it was possible to understand in detail the individual and cooperative motions of the main chain and side groups. The most import result obtained indicate that, despite being important inserting PAPB and PAA in the block copolymer for improving the desired optical and x-ray shielding properties, the presence of these blocks tend to suppress the &beta; relaxation, reducing thesample mechanical properties.

The acid and base catalyzed simultaneous twin polymerization (STP) of various 2,2′-disubstituted 4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline derivatives 2a–d with 2,2′-spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline] (1) are presented in this paper. The products are nanostructured ternary organic–inorganic hybrid materials consisting of a cross-linked organic polymer, silica and a disubstituted polysiloxane. It can be demonstrated whether and in which extent the copolymerization of the two inorganic fragments of 1 and 2 takes place among the STP and how the molar ratio of the two components determines the structure formation of the resulting hybrid material. Steric and electronic effects of the substituents at the silicon center of 2 on the molecular structure formation and the morphology of the resulting hybrid material were investigated by means of solid state CP MAS 29Si and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The mechanical properties (hardness and Young's modulus) of the hybrid materials were analyzed by means of nanoindentation measurements. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

In dieser Arbeit wurde die Möglichkeit untersucht, Bortrihalogenide mit Wasserstoff unter milden Bedingungen (T < 100 °C, p(H2) < 50 bar) zu hydrieren. Um eine Triebkraft für die thermodynamisch ungünstige Reaktion zu erhalten, wurden Amine als Hilfsbasen zugesetzt, welche den bei der Reaktion entstehenden Halogenwasserstoff als Ammoniumsalz binden und damit das Reaktionsgleichgewicht in Richtung der Produkte verschieben. Es wurden dafür verschiedene Amin-Boran bzw. Amin-HCl Addukte synthetisiert und mittels IR, NMR und DSC charakterisiert. Bei den anschließenden Hydrierungsversuchen wurden verschiedene Katalysatoren auf ihre Eignung getestet und weiterentwickelt. Unterstützt wurden die experimentellen Arbeiten durch Berechnungen mit Gaussian 03. IR- und NMR-Spektren vieler Addukte wurden berechnet und freie Reaktionsenthalpien der Hydrierung in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Amins und Borhalogenids bestimmt.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Wechselwirkungen im System Bakterium –Tensid – Schadstoff mittels kalorimetrischer Untersuchungen (ITC, DSC) sowie mit XPS-Analysen und durch Zeta-Potential-Messungen an Bakterienoberflächen charakterisiert. Für die Untersuchungen wurden zwei Gram-positive Rhodococcus-Stämme und ein Gram-negativer Pseudomonas putida-Stamm verwendet. Als Biotenside wurden das Rhamnolipid JBR 425 und der von Rhodococcus erythropolis B7g produzierte Trehalosetetraester (THL-4) ausgewählt. Das synthetische Tensid SDS diente als Referenzsubstanz. Aus den kalorimetrischen Experimenten konnte eine starke Wechselwirkung zwischen den Tensiden und den aktiven Bakterienkulturen abgeleitet werden. THL-4 führte beim Wachstum der Rhodococcen auf n-Hexadecan zur Verkürzung der lag-Phase. SDS wies hingegen eine toxische Wirkung für die Bakterienstämme auf. Thermodynamische Betrachtungen ergaben, dass Wechselwirkungen des SDS mit den Bakterienzellen gegenüber der Mizellbildung bevorzugt werden.

Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden verschiedene duroplastische Formmassen laboranalytisch hinsichtlich der rheologischen und thermischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Es wurde u.a. gezielt die absolute Materialfeuchte gesteigert, um den Einfluss dieser auf das Fließ­ Härtungsverhalten zu charakterisieren. Anschließend wurden die Materialien auf einer hochinstrumentierten Spritzgussmaschine mit einem Fließspiralenwerkzeug untersucht. Dabei konnte ein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen dem Rückfluss und dem Plastifizierdrehmoment in Abhängigkeit der Materialfeuchte und der Prozessparameter detektiert werden . Des Weiteren wurden über die Differenzdruckmessung im Fließspiralenwerkzeug die scheinbaren Viskositäten über den Fließweg ermittelt. Hierbei konnten unterschiedliche Aufschmelzeffekte über die Fließweglänge in Abhängigke it der duroplastischen Formmasse, der absoluten Materialfeuchte und der Prozessparameter detektiert werden . Durch Schererwärmung konnte die Formmassentemperatur teilweise die Werkzeugtemperatur übersteigen. Hinsichtlich der mechanischen Eigenschaften (Schlagzähigkeit, Biegefestigkeit) konnten keine signifikanten Einflussgrößen detektiert werden. Hinsichtlich des Tg konnten systematischen Unterschiede detektiert und begründet werden. Die beste Möglichkeit zur Ermittlung des Tg lieferte die TMA. Die thermischen Glasübergänge korrelieren mit den in der DSC ermittelten Aushärtegraden , wobei mit steigender Materialfeuchte ein geringer Aushärtegrad detektiert wird. / Within this paper, the rheologieal and thermie eharaeteristies of different thermosetting molding eompounds were investigated using lab analysis methods. Among others, the absolute moisture eontent was inereased purposefully to investigate its influenee on the flow-euring behavior. Subsequently, the materials were analyzed using a highly instrumented injeetion-molding maehine and a flow spiral tool. A direet link between the baekflow and the plastifieation torque dependent on the moisture eontent and proeess parameters was deteeted . Furthermore, a measurement of the differential pressure was eondueted within the flow spiral to deteet the apparent viseosity over the flow path. Within this proeess, different melting effeets over the flow eurve length depending on the molding eompound, the absolute moisture eontent and proeess parameters were deteeted. The shear heating lead to a material temperature inerease of the molding eompound, whieh was partly higher than the tool temperature . Coneerning the meehanieal eharaeteristies (impaet strength, flexural strength), no signifieant influeneing faetors eould be deteeted. In eontrast, systematie differenees of the glass transition temperature were deteeted and their eause eould be explained. The best way to determine the glass transition is the TMA. The glass transition temperatures eorrelate with the degree of eure determined with the DSC, whereas an inereasing moisture eontent is assoeiated with a lower degree of eure.

Mit der Entwicklung und Einführung ökologischer Bauweise im Neubau sowie neuen Baustoffsystemen in Sandwichbauweise wird es zunehmend erforderlich, neue effektive Befestigungsvarianten zu entwickeln, die eine dauerhafte Fixierung auch unter sicherheitstechnischen Bestimmungen sowie aus Garantie- bzw. haftungsrechtlichen Gründen ermöglichen. Die aus der Praxis bisher bekannten chemischen Befestigungssysteme (Zweikomponentenverbundmörtel, Verbundankerpatronen) weisen hinsichtlich der Applikation unter bautechnischen Bedingungen noch einige Nachteile auf. Dazu gehören vor allem längere Aushärtungszeiten zur Realisierung der abschließenden Verbundfestigkeit, Inhomogenitäten im Verbund, der Einsatz toxischer Verbindungen und eine Limitierung der Applikationsmöglichkeiten in horizontalen und Überkopf-Einsatzbereichen sowie Hohlkammersystemen. Alle zuvor genannten Punkte haben bis jetzt die Nutzung solcher Verbundwerkstoffe als universale Anwendungsmöglichkeit verhindert. Ein neues chemisches Befestigungssystem, welches aus Novolak gehärteten mit Hexamethylentetramin (Hexa) und anorganischen Füllstoff besteht, wurde für Applikationen in Beton entwickelt. Das Bindemittel härtet bei der Temperaturzuführung aus. Die unkatalysierte Befestigungsmasse zeigt bei einer Temperatur zwischen 150-300 °C eine hohe Reaktivität. Die Vorteile dieses Systems sind die unbegrenzte Lagerfähigkeit der vorgemischten härtbaren Masse sowie die Gewährleistung einer homogenen Netzwerkstruktur im gesamten Verbund und sie ist frei von giftigen und flüchtigen Substanzen. Auf den Einsatz toxischer Substanzen wurde verzichtet. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Gesamtkinetik der Reaktion während des Aushärtungsprozesses dieser Polymerkomposite untersucht. Die DSC- (nicht-isothermen, isothermen) und MDSC-Untersuchungen haben sich als ein sicheres Verfahren zur Qualitätskontrolle des Aushärtezustands der Befestigungssysteme herausgestellt. Parallel zur nicht-isothermischen und isothermischen DSC wurden Leitfähigkeitsmessungen durchgeführt, um den Endpunkt der Aushärtungsreaktion zu bestimmen. / The development and introduction of ecological construction methods and the use of sandwich materials make it necessary to develop new fixing systems and technologies. Dealing with the application in concrete and other substrates commercial chemical fixing systems show some disadvantages up to date. Especially the rather long curing time in order to realize the final bond strength, inhomogenities in the composite, the partial use of toxic substances and application limits of such systems in horizontal direction as well as hollow section materials has so far prevented the use of such composites for all-purpose applications. A new chemical fixing system, which consists of hexamethylene tetramine (hexa) cured novolac and inorganic filler, was developed for application in concrete. It is applied by a thermo-curing procedure. The uncatalyzed curable mixture has a high reactivity at temperature between 150-300 °C. Compared with commercial chemical fixing systems, the premixed curable mass has many benefits. First it has a unique storage stability and second, it is free of toxic and volatile substances. Another important aspect is, it is self-foaming. In this study was investigated the overall kinetics of the reaction during the curing process of these polymer composites. An appropriate method for this experiment proved to be the DSC in isothermal and non-isothermal mode and MDSC. This turned out to be a safe quality control technique for these systems. Parallel to the non-isothermal and isothermal DSC conductivity measurements have been performed to determine the end point of the curing reaction.

L’objectif de ces travaux a été de développer des vernis acrylate photo-polymérisables à 100% d’extrait sec, destinés à protéger des pièces thermoplastiques en polycarbonate contre les endommagements mécaniques, en particulier contre la rayure. Les relations entre la composition, la structure et les propriétés de ces revêtements ont été explorées. Pour ce faire ont été étudiées la morphologie, les propriétés thermomécaniques ainsi que la résistance à la rayure des matériaux. Cette dernière a été évaluée par des tests de micro-scratch. La cinétique de formation des réseaux polymères a elle aussi été étudiée, par photo-DSC. Tous les matériaux étudiés présentent, en analyse thermomécanique dynamique, un module élevé à l’état caoutchoutique ainsi qu’une large relaxation mécanique. Un vernis pétro-sourcé à 100% d’extrait sec, qualifié de standard, a servi de point de départ à ces travaux. Il a tout d’abord été comparé à un vernis commercial solvanté photo-polymérisable, spécialement conçu pour la protection de pièces thermoplastiques. Celui-ci s’est avéré être plus efficace en termes de résistance à la rayure. Dans un deuxième temps, a été étudiée l’influence sur les propriétés du vernis standard pétro-sourcé d’un monomère multicyclique entrant dans sa composition. La modification de son pourcentage n’a permis d’apporter aucun bénéfice en termes de résistance à la rayure. Des nanoparticules de silice, d’alumine ou de zircone, disponibles sous forme de dispersion dans un monomère acrylate, ont ensuite été incorporées dans le vernis standard pétro-sourcé. Une organisation particulière de la nano-silice et de la nano-alumine au sein des matériaux étudiés a pu être observée par microscopie électronique en transmission. Il a été constaté que le taux de charge doit être élevé pour observer une augmentation du module élastique et une amélioration de la résistance à la rayure du vernis (≥15% massique dans le cas de la nano-silice). Par ailleurs, l’ajout de 5% massique de nano-silice dans le vernis n’a conduit à aucune modification de sa cinétique de photo-polymérisation. Enfin, une partie des composés acrylate pétro-sourcés du vernis standard a été substituée par des acrylates bio-sourcés disponibles industriellement. La cinétique de photo-polymérisation des deux types de vernis est similaire. Les conclusions de la comparaison entre les vernis bio-sourcés et le vernis standard pétro-sourcé en termes de résistance à la rayure dépendent de l’épaisseur des revêtements étudiés. L’ajout d’un composé monoacrylate bio-sourcé à la formulation des vernis tend à améliorer la recouvrance élastique des revêtements de faible épaisseur. L’acrylate d’isobornyle est en particulier intéressant, car il a aussi tendance à retarder l’apparition des craquelures au cours de la rayure. / The aim of this work was to develop 100% solids photo-polymerizable acrylate coatings, intended to protect thermoplastic pieces made of polycarbonate against mechanical damage, in particular scratches. The relationships between the composition, the structure and the properties of these coatings were examined. For this purpose the morphology, the thermomechanical properties and the scratch resistance of the materials, assessed by micro-scratch tests, were studied. The kinetics of the polymer network formation was also studied by photo-DSC experiments. All the materials feature a high elastic modulus and a broad mechanical relaxation in dynamic thermomechanical analysis. A 100% solids petro-based coating (standard) constituted the starting point of this work. First it was compared to a commercial photo-polymerizable coating containing solvents, specially designed to protect thermoplastic pieces. This commercial coating turned out to be more efficient against scratches. In a second time was studied the influence of the percentage of a multicyclic monomer, taking part in the composition of the standard petro-based coating, on the properties of the latter. The modification of its proportion does not bring any advantage concerning the scratch resistance. Silica, alumina and zirconia nanoparticles, dispersed in an acrylate monomer, were then incorporated in the standard petro-based coating. A particular organization of the silica or alumina nanoparticles in the materials could be observed by transmission electron microscopy. A high filler content is required to observe an increase in the elastic modulus and an enhancement of the scratch resistance of the coating (≥15% by weight for the nano-silica). Moreover, no change of the photo-polymerization kinetics was noticed through the addition of 5% by weight of nano-silica in the coating. Finally, some of the petro-based acrylate compounds of the standard coating were substituted by commercially available bio-based acrylate monomers. Both types of coatings feature similar polymerization kinetics. The conclusions concerning the comparison of the scratch resistance of the bio-based and standard petro-based coatings depend on their thickness. The incorporation of a bio-based monoacrylate compound in low thickness coatings tends to improve the elastic recovery. Isobornyl acrylate is particularly interesting since it also tends to delay the apparition of cracks along the scratch.

Im Fokus dieser Arbeit stand die Methode Zwillingspolymerisation zur Synthese organisch-anorganischer Hybridmaterialien. Die simultane Zwillingspolymerisation wird als neues Konzept zur gezielten Herstellung homogener, nanostrukturierter Hybridmaterialien unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung vorgestellt. Hierfür wurden die Zwillingsmonomere 2,2’-Spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasilin] und 2,2 Dimethyl-4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasilin in einem Arbeitsschritt gemeinsam polymerisiert. Die erhaltenen Phenolharz-Siliciumdioxid/Dimethylsiloxan-Hybridmaterialien weisen aufgrund einstellbarer Syntheseparameter unterschiedliche Eigenschaftsprofile auf, die systematisch analysiert wurden. Die Charakterisierung der Produkte erfolgte mit Hilfe der Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie, Elektronenmikroskopie, DSC, TGA-MS, sowie durch Extraktionsversuche und die Erzeugung und Analyse poröser Materialien. Neben der simultanen Zwillingspolymerisation wird die Synthese, Charakterisierung und thermisch induzierte Polymerisation literaturunbekannter Silicium-Spiroverbindungen mit einfach- oder zweifach substituierter Salicylalkohol-Einheit beschrieben. Hierbei wurden nanostrukturierte Hybridmaterialien mit teils hohem löslichen Anteil erhalten. Die Produktbildung wird in Abhängigkeit von der Entstehung und Weiterreaktion gefundener Chinonmethid-Strukturen diskutiert.
