L’utilisation d’un composite Carbone/Carbone 2D est envisagée pour des pièces de structure, travaillant entre 150 et 400°C, dans l’aéronautique civile. Dans ce domaine de température, la durabilité de ces matériaux n’est pas connue car ils n’ont jamais été développés pour de telles applications. Une première approche a permis de corréler la réactivité chimique des constituants élémentaires (fibres et matrices) à leur état d’organisation structurale. Les vieillissements réalisés sur matériau composite ont ensuite mis en évidence qu’un faible taux d’oxydation pouvait conduire à un abaissement significatif des propriétés mécaniques résiduelles. Les fissures et les décohésions consécutives au procédé d’élaboration conduisent à une oxydation préférentielle du composé le plus réactif et à la ruine prématurée du composite par délaminage. L'évolution des propriétés de ce matériau sur de longues durées est finalement discutée afin d’évaluer sa capacité à remplacer les matériaux métalliques dans des pièces aéronautiques. / A 2D Carbon/Carbon composite is envisaged for structural parts, operating between 150 and 400°C, in civil aircraft. In this temperature range, the durability of these materials remains unknown because they have never been developed for this kind of applications. A first approach allowed us to correlate the chemical reactivity of the elemental constituents (fiber and matrix) to their structural organization. Then, thermal ageing tests performed on the composite material have demonstrated that a low rate of oxidation could be responsible to a significant reduction of residual mechanical properties. Cracks and fiber/matrix debonding resulting to the elaboration process create an extended pathway to a preferential oxidation of the most reactive compound. This latter is followed by a premature failure by delamination. The reduction of the material properties over long periods is finally discussed in order to evaluate its ability to replace metallic materials in aircraft structural parts.

In recent times, composite materials have gained mainstay acceptance as a structural material of choice due to their tailorability and improved thermal, specific strength/stiffness and durability performance. Carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites are used for high temperature applications such as exit nozzles for rockets, leading edges for missiles, nose cones, brake pads etc. Mechanical property estimation of C/C composites is challenging due to their highly heterogeneous microstructure. Computed Tomography (CT) images (volumetric imaging) coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveal a highly heterogeneous microstructure comprised of woven C-fibers, amorphous C-matrix, irregularly shaped voids, cracks and other inclusions. The images also disclose structural hierarchy of the C/C composite at different length scales. Predicting the mechanical behavior of such complex hierarchical materials like C/C composites forms the motivation for the present work. A systematic study to predict the effective mechanical properties of C/C Composite using numerical homogenization has been undertaken in this work. The Micro-Meso-Macro (MMM) principle of ensemble averages for estimating the effective properties of the composite has been adopted. The hierarchical length scales in C/C composites has been identified as micro (single fiber with matrix), meso (fabric) and macro (laminate). Numerical homogenization along with periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) have been used to estimate the effective engineering properties of the material at different length scales. Concurrently, mechanical testing has also been carried out at macro (compression tests) and micro scale (using nano-indentation studies) to characterize the mechanical behavior of C/C composites.

Afin de comprendre les mécanismes d’usure et de frottement des composites carbone/carbone (C/C) utilisés en freinage aéronautique, un modèle numérique est utilisé pour dissocier les effets mécaniques des effets physico-chimiques et thermiques. Le modèle repose sur l’utilisation d’une approche par éléments finis et de techniques d’homogénéisation appliquées à un volume élémentaire représentatif (VER) du matériau à l’échelle mésoscopique frottant sur une surface rigide ou déformable. A cette échelle, le matériau est décrit par une matrice en carbone et des paquets de fibres de carbone appelés torons, perpendiculaires à la surface frottante. Pour assurer la représentativité de la structure du matériau, plusieurs modèles hétérogènes sont étudiés. Les résultats sont comparés à ceux obtenus avec le modèle homogène équivalent qui découle de l’homogénéisation. L’influence des conditions de contact (la rigidité), ainsi que l’influence de la distribution des torons proches de la surface frottante sur les régimes de vibrations des différents modèles sont mises en évidence. L’extension du modèle numérique à un contact entre deux composites a mis en évidence une forte augmentation des contraintes maximales localisées principales dans les torons présents à la surface frottante. Ces fortes localisations de contraintes peuvent avoir pour conséquence l’endommagement des torons ce qui induit la dégradation de la surface frottante jusqu’aux détachements de particules. / To understand the mechanisms of wear and friction of carbon 1 carbon composites (C/C} used in aeronautical braking, a numerical model is used to separate the mechanical effects of the physico-chemical and thermal effects. The model is based on the use of an approach by finite elements (FE} and techniques of homogenization applied to a representative elementary volume (RVE} of the material in the mesoscopic scale rubbing on a rigid or deformable surface. In this scale, the material is described by a matrix in carbon and packages of carbon fiber called strands, perpendicular on the contact surface. To insure the representativeness of the structure of the material, several heterogeneous models are studied. The results are compared with those obtained with the equivalent homogeneous model which ensues from the homogenization. The influence of the conditions of contact (the rigidity), as well as the influence of the distribution of strands at the contact surface on the regimes of vibrations of the various models are revealing. The extension of the numerical model in a contact between two composites underline a strong increase of maximal constraints mainly localized in the strands present on the contact surface. These strong localizations of constraints can have for consequence the damage of strands what leads the degradation of the contact surface until the detachments of particles.

Le matériau composite carbone/carbone ou C/C est utilisé en temps que matériau de friction en freinage aéronautique. Matériau complexe tant du point de vue de sa description microstructurale que de son comportement sous sollicitations tribologiques, il a été l’objet de nombreuses études visant à mieux comprendre les mécanismes régissant sa réponse (frottement, endommagement, usure) à ces sollicitations. Dans cette étude nous nous focalisons sur l’aspect mécanique de cette réponse. En particulier, nous nous intéressons aux endommagements présents dans le matériau : nous souhaitons étudier tant leurs origines que leur influence sur le comportement du matériau. Pour cela, nous choisissons une approche combinée numérique et expérimentale, nous permettant d’identifier de façon exhaustive ces endommagements puis de construire un modèle numérique tribologique permettant d’étudier les mécanismes d’usure du matériau. Nous montrons comment les mécanismes d’accommodation en volume du 1er corps influent sur les détachements de particules en surface, nous conduisant à parler de dialogue tribologique surface/volume. Le modèle numérique utilise la méthode des éléments discrets pour représenter 1er et 3ième corps simultanément. Un travail est réalisé autour de la représentativité du modèle vis-à-vis des caractéristiques mécaniques du composite C/C. Nous proposons également une démarche de recherche d’un Volume Elémentaire Représentatif sous condition de contact. Ce modèle ainsi que les observations du matériau nous permettent de proposer un scenario de comportement tribologique du composite C/C, en fonction des sollicitations thermomécaniques qui lui sont appliquées et correspondant aux différents types de freinages aéronautiques. Les endommagements identifiés dans le volume du matériau se révèlent être bénéfiques dans certains cas de figure au travers d’un mécanisme de rigidification du matériau intervenant à haute température, ce qui nous conduit à parler d’ « endommagement utile ». Le scenario intègre donc ce phénomène, ainsi que d’autres tant mécaniques que physicochimiques et identifiés par cette étude ou dans la littérature, et montre comment leur équilibre « dynamique » produit le comportement tribologique identifié du matériau pour les différentes gammes de sollicitations qui lui sont appliquées. / Carbon/Carbon (or C/C) composite is used as a friction material in aeronautical braking applications. This is a complex material from both microstructural and tribological behavior points of view. Thus, it has been studied through various works for several years, aiming at understanding what mechanisms guide this material response (friction, damage, wear) under tribological conditions. In this study, a focus is performed on mechanical aspects such as damages that occur in the numerical and experimental approach, in view to identify and classify the damages as well as to build a numerical model used to investigate wear mechanisms. It is underlined how first-body accommodation mechanisms have a great influence on particles detachment at the interface, as a surface/volume tribological dialogue take place. This model is based on the Discrete Elements method and represents simultaneously first- and third-body; such model is able to represent fist-body degradation as well as creation and flow of third-body particles. Its representativeness is ensured through experimental comparisons, particularly on mechanical aspects. A procedure is proposed for the research of a Representative Elementary Volume under contact conditions. Model results and material observations allow proposing a global scenario explaining C/C composite behavior under tribological conditions, which are representative of different aeronautical braking cases. Damages, identified in the volume of the first-body, reveal themselves to be sometimes beneficial, and could be characterized as “useful damages”. The scenario takes into account this phenomenon, as well as thermal, mechanical and physicochemical ones, identified from this work or literature. It explains the influences of these parameters on C/C tribology and show how the dynamic equilibrium between them results on the C/C response, particularly its wear mechanism.

De nouveaux matériaux hybrides « inorganique-organique » pour le captage de polluants organiques (pesticides, HAP) ont été préparés soit par greffage sur des oxydes métalliques, soit par procédé sol-gel. Pour préparer ces matériaux nous avons développé une méthodologie catalytique pour la synthèse des motifs organiques aromatiques. Cette méthodologie repose sur la réaction de couplage de Heck palladocatalysée entre le vinylphosphonate de diéthyle avec des différents halogénures d’aryles en utilisant des catalyseurs homogènes et hétérogènes. Des bons rendements isolés ont été obtenus. En complément, nous avons étudié l’arylation du diéthylacétale de l’acroléine en milieu aqueux qui donne principalement l’ester propanoïque et le cinnamaldéhyde. Nous avons mis en évidence l’influence de différents paramètres (catalyseurs, température, bases, additifs) et montré que l’ajout de cyclodextrines est bénéfique, en augmentant dans la plupart des cas la vitesse de la réaction. Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous avons montré que le remplacement de NaOAc par NH(i-Pr)2 conduisait à une inversion de la sélectivité du cinnamaldéhyde vers l’ester propanoïque. Les matériaux azotés (amine; guanidine; biguanide@oxyde métallique) ont été obtenus soit par greffage des composés bi fonctionnels [fonction azoté]/PO(OEt)2 sur les supports, soit par greffage d’un aminophosphonate suivi d’une condensation en phase solide avec le DIP.La capacités de piégeage de différents pesticides par extraction en phase solide a été évaluée et comparés à celle de deux matériaux courants (charbon actif et Si-C18) connus comme support solide universel dans ce domaine. Nous avons ainsi démontré la complémentarité des différents matériaux dans le piégeage des pesticides. / Development of new hybrid materials “inorganic-organics” for the collecting of the various organic pollutants (pesticides, PAH). These materials were prepared by two methods: grafting of metallic oxides and sol-gel method. A catalytic methodology of the aromatic organic matrix synthesis was considered. This methodology is based on the reaction of pallado-catalyzed Heck coupling between the diethyl vinylphosphonate with different aryl halogenurs by using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. The good isolated yields for products were obtained. The complement, we study of the arylation reaction of the acrolein diethylacetal in aqueous medium, and the influence of various parameters (catalysts, bases, temperature, additifs) on this reaction. The addition of cyclodextrins in reaction medium is beneficial. Within the framework of this study, we showed that the replacement of NaOAc by NH (i-Pr)2 led to an inversion of the selectivity of cinnamaldéhyde towards propanoïque ester. Nitrogen material (amine, guanide, biguanide/PO-OEt)2 either by grafting of bifunctional compounds on the supports, and grafting of amiophosphonate flow condensation to DIP.The capacity of the trapping of pesticides by extraction in solid phase was evaluated and compared of two current materials (activated carbon and Si-C18) known as universal solid support. We thus showed the complementarity of various materials in the trapping of the pesticides

<p dir="ltr">Fretting wear occurs when two contacting bodies under load are subjected to small amplitude oscillatory motion. Depending on the applied normal load, displacement amplitude, coefficient of friction and resulting shear force, two types of fretting wear regimes exist – (i) partial slip and (ii) gross slip. At displacement amplitudes higher than gross slip condition, sliding wear regime prevails. Fretting wear becomes dominant in machine components subject to vibrations such as bearings, dovetail joints, etc. whereas sliding wear is observed in brakes, piston-ring applications, etc. The work in this dissertation primarily focuses on characterizing the material response of various machine components subjected to fretting and sliding wear regimes.</p><p dir="ltr">At first, the friction and fretting wear behavior of inlet ring and spring clip components used in land-based gas turbines was investigated at elevated (<a href="" target="_blank">500°C</a>) temperature. In order to achieve this objective, a novel high-temperature fretting wear apparatus was designed and developed to simulate the conditions existing in a gas turbine. The test apparatus was used to investigate fretting wear of atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) Cr₃C₂-NiCr (25% wt.), high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) sprayed Cr₃C₂-NiCr (25% wt.), HVOF sprayed T-800 and APS sprayed PS400 coated inlet rings against HVOF-sprayed Cr₃C₂-NiCr (25% wt.) coated spring clip. The PS400 coated inlet rings demonstrated a significant reduction in friction and wear. A finite element (FE) framework was also developed to simulate fretting wear in HVOF-sprayed Cr₃C₂-NiCr composite cermet coating. The material microstructure was modelled using Voronoi tessellations with a log-normal distribution of grain size. Moreover, the individual material phases in the coating were randomly assigned to resemble the microstructure from an actual SEM micrograph. A damage mechanics based cohesive zone model with grain deletion algorithm was used to simulate debonding of the ceramic carbide phase from the matrix and resulting degradation from repeated fretting cycles. The specific wear rate obtained from the model for the existing material microstructure was benchmarked against experiments. Novel material microstructures were also modeled and demonstrated to show less scatter in wear rate.</p><p dir="ltr">Following, a three-dimensional (3D) continuum damage mechanics (CDM) FE model was developed to investigate the effects of fretting wear on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of bearing steels. In order to determine the fretting scar geometry, a 3D arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) adaptive mesh (AM) FE model was developed to simulate fretting wear between two elastic bodies for different initially pristine fretting pressures (0.5, 0.75 and 1 GPa) and friction coefficients (0.15, 0.175 and 0.25) resulting in stick zone to contact width ratios, c/a = 0.35, 0.55 and 0.75. The resulting wear profiles were subjected to various initially pristine RCF pressures (1, 2.2 and 3.4 GPa). The pressure profiles for RCF were determined by moving the contact over the fretted wear profiles in 21 steps. These pressure profiles were then used in the CDM-FE model to predict the RCF life of fretted surfaces. The results indicate that increased fretting pressure leads to more wear on the surface, thereby reducing RCF life. As the RCF pressure increases (P_RCF ≥ 2.2 GPa), the effect of fretting on RCF life decreases for all fretting pressures and c/a values, indicating that life is primarily governed by the RCF pressure. The results from CDM-FE model were used to develop a life equation for evaluating the L₁₀ life of fretted M-50 bearing steel for the range of tested conditions.</p><p dir="ltr">Lastly, the sliding wear characteristics of pitch and poly-acrylonitrile based carbon-carbon (C/C) composites were investigated in air and nitrogen environment by designing and developing a disc brake test rig. It was found that the temperature of the disc, the surrounding environment, the supplied energy flux as well as the type of composite play a critical role in determining whether C/C composites operate in normal wear or dusting wear regime. Further analysis of wear mechanisms revealed interface and matrix cracking with fiber breakage from tests in air environment, whereas in nitrogen environment, particulate and layered debris played a prominent role.</p>

<p>The development of a novel charge inversion ion/ion reaction in conjunction with a mass spectrometry technique (collisional induced dissociation (CID)) to induce fragmentation of selected ions species in the gas-phase. The utility of this experiment allows identification of varying saturated and unsaturated classes of glycerophospholipids (GPLs) in a biological matrix. In this work, we are able to characterize GPLs species at the subclass, headgroup, fatty acyl sum compositional levels,  leaving the location(s) of carbon-carbon single bond (C-C), carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), cyclopropane moiety, branching site and differentiate isomeric species. </p> <p><br></p> <p>All data were collected on modified a Sciex QTRAP4000 hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer. Briefly, alternately, pulsed nano-electrospray ionization (nESI) was used for ion generation. Deprotonated lipid anions were generated via negative ion mode nESI, mass selected during transit through Q1, and transferred to q2 for storage. Next, the charge inversion (IIRXN) reagent doubly charged magnesium complex cations, were generated via positive ion mode nESI. To facilitate the ion/ion reaction, magnesium complex dictations and lipid anions were simultaneously stored in q2, resulting in the formation of charge-inverted lipid cations. Ion-trap CID of charge-inverted isomers resulted in distinctive fragmentation, facilitating differentiation of isomeric and localization of unsaturation sites in acyl chain constituents. </p>

Les composites carbone/carbone présentent de propriétés thermomécaniques à hautes températures qui les rendent particulièrement adaptés à l’ablation ou à la friction. Leur sensibilité à l’oxydation dès 400°C a conduit à envisager leur dopage en éléments réfractaires inoxydables ou à température d’oxydation élevée. Le procédé sol-gel a permis d’introduire environ 1 % volumique d’oxyde ou de nitrure de titane ou d’aluminium dans leur matrice. Les nitrures sont obtenus par nitruration carbothermique des films d’oxydes. Deux types de sols ont été utilisés : des sols « standard » et des sols enrichis en saccharose. Le saccharose est ajouté pour prévenir la consommation du pyrocarbone lors de la nitruration. Il a par ailleurs une influence sur l’avancement de la nitruration. Les composites chargés sont ensuite densifiés par voie gazeuse, ce qui induit des transformations de phases prévues par la thermodynamique : les films de nitrure de titane sont partiellement carburés (formation de carbonitrure), et les films d’oxyde de titane sont réduits (formation d’oxycarbure). Les dépôts à base d’aluminium sont plus stables et ne subissent aucune transformation. La diffusivité thermique des composites réalisés est faiblement impactée par les charges introduites, alors que les résistances en traction/compression sont sensiblement augmentées. Par ailleurs, une rigidification des composites est observée. Leur cinétique d’oxydation est ralentie. Les composites enrichis en alumine et nitrure d’aluminium présentent des vitesses de perte de masse divisées par 2 par rapport à la référence C/C. Toutes ces propriétés sont liées directement ou non à la composition des sols, et plus particulièrement à sa teneur en saccharose. Il a en effet été montré que les sols qui en contiennent ont tendance à gélifier en surface du composite, ce qui gêne la diffusion des gaz précurseurs au cœur du composite lors de la densification. La porosité finale s’en trouve modifiée. Cette dernière a une influence non négligeable sur le comportement en compression, la diffusivité thermique et la cinétique d’oxydation des composites élaborés. / Carbon/carbon composites exhibit excellent mechanical and thermal properties at high temperature that make them espe-cially suitable for ablation or friction pieces. Their sensitivity toward oxidation above 400°C has lead to the will of doping them with refractory ceramics that are nonoxidizable or with a high oxidation temperature. The sol-gel process allowed to introduce 1 % in volume of titanium or aluminum oxide or nitride in the matrix. Nitrides are obtained by carbothermal nitridation of the oxide films. Two types of sols were used: the “standard” ones and those with extra sucrose. Sucrose is added to prevent pyrocarbon consumption during the nitridation. Furthermore, it was shown that it has an impact on the nitridation rate. Charged composites are then densified by Chemical Vapor Infiltration, which induces phases transforma-tions that were predicted by thermodynamics: titanium nitride films are partially carburized (formation of titanium carbonitride) and titanium dioxide films are reduced (formation of titanium oxycarbide). Aluminum-based films are more stable and don’t undergo any transformation. Thermal diffusivity of the as-synthesized composites is not much modified by the addition of these ceramics while the tensile and compressive strength are slightly increased. By the way, composites are hardened. Their oxidation kinetics is slowed down. Aluminum-rich composites exhibit a weight loss divided by two compared to the C/C reference. All those properties are directly, or not, linked to the composition of the sols, in particular to their sucrose content. Indeed, it was shown that sucrose-containing sols rather jellify on the surface of the composite, thus preventing the diffusion of precursor gases to the heart of the pieces. The final porosity is then modified. The porosity has an important impact on the compressive strength, thermal diffusivity and oxidation kinetics of the synthesized composites.

Electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) is a sensitive spectroscopic technique, which can be used to readout few to single electron spins in semiconductor and carbon nanodevices for applications in solid state quantum information processing (QIP). Since only electrically active defects contribute to the EDMR signal, this technique can be used further to investigate defects and impurities in photovoltaic devices, in which they limit the sunlight-to-energy conversion efficiency significantly. Here, I employ X-band EDMR for semiconductor defect analysis and identify the most important recombination centres in Czochralski silicon with oxide precipitates, which can be intentionally grown to confine detrimental metallic impurities to inactive regions of the wafer in order to serve as a defect-free substrate for modern silicon photovoltaic devices. Those experiments show that oxide precipitation is accompanied by the formation of silicon dangling bonds. Furthermore, I describe a very promising route towards the fabrication and readout of few to single electron spins in carbon nanotube devices, which can be characterised structurally via transmission electron microscopy in order to relate their electrical and spin properties with their structure. Finally, I employ EDMR to read out electron spin states in donor-doped silicon field-effect transistors as a prerequisite for their application in QIP. I report on a novel cryogenic probe head for EDMR experiments in resonant microwave cavities operating at 0.35 T (9.7 GHz, X-band) and 3.34 T (94 GHz, W-band). This approach overcomes the inherent limitations of conventional X-band EDMR and permits the investigation of paramagnetic states with a higher spectroscopic resolution and signal intensity. Both advantages are demonstrated and discussed. I further report on a novel mechanism giving rise to the EDMR effect in donor-doped silicon field-effect transistors, which is capable of explaining why the EDMR signal intensities of the conduction electrons are enhanced by a factor of ∼100, while the donor resonance signals increase by a factor of ∼20 from X- to W-band only. The spin-relaxation and dephasing times are extracted from a series of pulsed-EDMR measurements and confirm this model.

Les tokamaks visent à réaliser la fusion contrôlée de noyaux de deutérium et de tritium par le confinement magnétique d'un plasma chaud. L'interaction entre le plasma et les parois a été étudiée en détail pour le tokamak Tore Supra. Au cours des décharges, le plasma interagit fortement avec le limiteur, formé de milliers de tuiles en composite carbone/carbone. L'érosion de ces tuiles par les flux de particules du plasma mène à la formation de co-dépôts de carbone et de deutérium qu'il est essentiel de limiter. Nous avons effectué une étude multi-échelle, principalement avec les différents outils de la microscopie électronique, sur des tuiles provenant du limiteur de Tore Supra. Une analyse des co-dépôts a permis de mettre en évidence leur topographie en forme de pointes, orientées dans une même direction quelque soit la position de la tuile sur le limiteur. L'étude de la surface de tuiles appartenant à des zones majoritairement érodées a révélé la présence d'une striation périodique de surface. Ces deux phénomènes ont été mis en relation avec la direction des flux et l'effet de la gaine faiblement magnétisée de Tore Supra a été mis en évidence. L'analyse des dépôts présents dans les interstices entre les tuiles a révélé une physique propre à ces interstices permettant la formation de dépôts en profondeur. Des nanoparticules graphitiques sphériques ont été observées, signe d'une croissance homogène locale en phase plasma. Nous avons développé des méthodes de mesure des volumes de dépôt et des volumes érodés, menant à l'établissement d'un bilan carbone et à l'évaluation de la masse de deutérium piégé, en bon accord avec les mesures in-situ réalisées dans Tore Supra. / Tokamaks are devices aiming at achieving controlled fusion of deuterium and tritium by magnetically confining a hot plasma. The interaction between the plasma and the inner walls is a crucial issue and has been studied in detail in Tore Supra. During discharges the plasma strongly interacts with limiter, designed with thousands of carbon tiles (C/C composite). The plasma particle fluxes erode the tiles, leading to co-deposition of carbon and deuterium that should be limited. We have performed a multi-scale study of tiles extracted from the Tore Supra limiter, mainly using electron microscopy. The analysis of the co-deposits has revealed a tip-shaped topography, tips being oriented in the same direction wherever the tile over the limiter. Analyses of tiles extracted from erosion-dominated zones have revealed the presence of a periodic ripple on their surfaces. Both phenomena have been related with the direction of ion fluxes and the effect of the weakly magnetized sheath of Tore Supra has been shown. Analyses of the deposits inside the gaps in-between the tiles have revealed the existence of specific processes leading to the formation of deposits deeply inside the gaps. Graphitic nano-particles have been observed, showing the existence of local homogeneous growth processes. Finally, by measuring the deposit volume and the C/C composite eroded volume we have obtained an inventory of both carbon and deuterium which is consistent with the analyses of Tore Supra in-situ measurements.
