Infrared detector technologies have been developing each day. Thermal detectors take great attention in commercial applications due to their low power consumption and low costs. The active material selection and the deposition of the material are highly important performance effective factors for microbolometer detector applications. In that sense, developing vanadium oxide (VOx) microbolometer active material by sol-gel method might be feasible approach to achieve good performance microbolometer detectors. In this study, vanadium oxide thin films are prepared by sol-gel method is deposited on silicon or silicon nitride wafers as active material by spin coating. The films are annealed under different hydrogen concentration of H2/N2 environments at 410

Les panneaux passifs, en particulier les doubles-cloisons, permettent d’obtenir de bonnes performances en isolation acoustique pour éliminer les bruits indésirables en moyennes et hautes fréquences. Ils ont été largement utilisés dans les domaines du bâtiment ou encore de l’industrie du transport. Un panneau hybride actif/passif est ici étudié, afin d’obtenir de bonnes performances en absorption et en isolation sur une gamme incluant des basses fréquences. La source secondaire est réalisée par une plaque active composée de deux céramiques piézo-électriques collées sur une plaque en acier. Le coeur du double panneau peut inclure un matériau poreux pour améliorer les performances de l’ensemble. Les résultats numériques et les données de mesure montrent que ces panneaux présentent sur une large bande de fréquences de bonnes performances avec contrôle actif. / Passive structures such as double walls are effective at reducing noise transmission at medium and high frequencies. They are widely used in building and transport applications. In this thesis, a hybrid passive/active acoustic panel concept is developped, with the aim of allowing high levels of absorption and insulation over a wide range of frecuencies. The secondary source is realized by an active plate consiting of two piezoelectric patches bonded to an elastic thin plate. The use of porous material as the core of the double-panel improves the acoustic efficiency of the structure. Numerical and experimental results show that this structure presents good absorption and transmission properties thanks to active control.

Commercial alkaline accumulators with positive electrode based on nickel hydroxide generally comprise beta modification of the active material at present due to its excellent stabilization of performance during electrochemical cycling. This dissertation refers to a research work accomplished by author, which has been aimed to utilization of alpha nickel hydroxide in alkaline batteries including exploration of possibilities to attain its stability in strong alkali medium of the electrolyte. I have focused my effort to elucidate reasons for its transformation tendency and to find way of their suppression.

This diploma thesis is focused on the study of the properties of polymer-modified cementitious mortars which using pozzolanic active materials based on amorphous silica. Explores the possibilities of using the recycled glass as a partial replacement of cement in PMM. Properties of mortars are reviewed in mineralogical and technological point of view. For specification of the results were used the analysis RTG, DTA and REM.
