Graphene is a form of carbon with unique thermal and structural properties, giving it high potential in many applications, from electronics to driveway heating. Advanced fabrication techniques putting small, graphene-like structures in a polymer matrix could allow for incorporation of some of the benefits of graphene into very lightweight materials, and allow for broader commercialization. Measuring the thermal properties of these thin-film samples is a technical capability in need of development for use with the specific specimens used in this study. Relating those thermal properties to the microstructural composition was the focus of this work. Several conclusions could be drawn from this study which will help guide future development efforts. Among these findings, it was found that increasing carbon content only improves thermal and electrical conductivity if the samples were of low porosity. Samples of approximately identical overall carbon content and void content had higher thermal conductivity if some carbon nanotubes were added in place of graphite. Nanotubes also appeared to reduce variability in thermal conductivity between pressed and unpressed samples, allowing for more predictable properties in fabrication.

Cellulose is a potential source of nano-material not only because it possesses excellent mechanical and optical properties, but also because it is environmentally benign. In this study, nanofibres derived from wheat straw, an agriculture residue, was utilized in producing flexible and optically transparent nanocompostie films. The composites were produced using a bi-phase impregnation technique that coats the dried nanofibre films with clear polyurethane acrylate resins using UV radiation induced curing. The nanocomposite films thus produced possess excellent tensile properties (161MPa in strength and 9GPa in Young’s Modulus), superior thermal stability (above 300°C), low coefficient of thermal expansion (8-9ppm/K), good light transparency (80%), excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance. These nanocomposite films are aimed to replace the conventional glass substrates made in batches to a polymer based substrates that can be efficiently produced in a roll-to-roll process for the base of the future flexible flat panel displays.

O aumento das preocupações com o meio ambiente tem trazido à indústria de tratamento de superfícies novos desafios quanto ao desenvolvimento de revestimentos com maior desempenho quanto à resistência à corrosão e ao desgaste, observando a redução do impacto ambiental. Neste contexto, o objetivo do presente trabalho é obter um filme compósito à base de silano com incorporação de partículas de óxido de grafeno visando o aumento da resistência à corrosão e ao desgaste da liga de alumínio AA 2024-T3. A liga de alumínio AA 2024-T3 é um material bastante usado na indústria aeronáutica devido às propriedades mecânicas e à baixa densidade. Contudo, essa liga não oferece a resistência à corrosão e ao desgaste exigidos para aplicação na indústria aeronáutica, sendo necessário o emprego de revestimentos protetores. Dentre os revestimentos propostos para essa aplicação os revestimentos híbridos têm sido estudados, e mais recentemente a incorporação de partículas à essa matriz tem sido proposta visando melhorar as propriedades desses filmes. Nesse trabalho os revestimentos compósitos de matriz híbrida com incorporação de óxido de grafeno foram obtidos pelo processo de sol-gel a partir de um sol contendo os precursores alcoóxidos tetraetoxisilano (TEOS) e 3-trimetoxisilil-propil-metacrilato (MAP) com dispersão de partículas de óxido de grafeno em diferentes concentrações (1 g.L-1, 0,5 g.L-1, 0,25 g.L-1 e 0 g.L-1). Os filmes foram obtidos empregando-se o método de dip-coating à temperatura ambiente, com velocidade de retirada de 10 cm.min-1. O óxido de grafeno utilizado foi caracterizado quanto à estrutura utilizando as análises de FTIR, Raman, TGA e microscopia eletrônica de varredura de alta resolução. Para avaliar a estrutura do filme compósito obtido foram utilizadas as análises de FTIR, Raman e TGA. Microscopia eletrônica de varredura de alta resolução foi usada a fim de verificar a uniformidade do filme e avaliar a dispersão das partículas no filme. Os ensaios de polarização potenciodinâmica e impedância eletroquímica foram utilizados para analisar o comportamento referente à corrosão. Avaliou-se também a molhabilidade dos filmes, pelo método da gota séssil. As propriedades mecânicas do filme foram avaliadas empregando-se o ensaio de desgaste pela técnica de esfera sobre plano e teste de adesão. Nas condições estudas, a adição das partículas de óxido de grafeno não alterou a resistência à corrosão, contudo evidenciou-se uma contribuição positiva quanto ao aumento da resistência ao desgaste do filme. / The growing concern with the environment has created new challenges to the surface treatment industry, encouraging the development of coatings with a better performance in regards to the mechanical resistance and corrosion properties, observing the reduction of the environmental impact. In this context, this work aims to make a composite coating with graphene oxide charge to improve the corrosion and wear resistance in aluminum alloy AA 2024-T3. The aluminum alloy AA 2024-T3 is a material used in the aeronautics industry due to its low density and good mechanical proprieties. However, this alloy does not have the corrosion and wear resistance required by the aeronautics industry, requiring the use of protective coatings. Among the protective coatings proposed for this application, the hybrid films have been studied and more recently the incorporation of particles has been proposed to improve the proprieties of this film. In this work the hybrid matrix composite coating with incorporation of graphene oxide was obtained by sol-gel process from a sol containing alkoxide precursors Tetraetoxisilano (TEOS) and 3-(trimetoxisililpropil) metacrylate (MAP) with graphene oxide dispersion in different concentrations (1 g.L-1, 0,5 g.L-1, 0,25 g.L-1 e 0 g.L-1). The films were obtained using the dip-coating method in room temperature with 10 cm.min-1 of removal rate. For the characterization of the graphene oxide structure FTIR, Raman, TGA and scanning electron microscope were used. To measure the structure of composite films proprieties FTIR, Raman and TGA were used. In addition, the scanning electron microscope was used on composite film on aluminum alloy in order to verify the uniformity of film and to assess the behavior of the particles on film. The potentiodynamic polarization and the electrochemical impedance were used to analyze the behavior against corrosion. To measure the wettability contact angles measured by the sessile drop method were used. The film was examined for mechanical proprieties with the ball-on-plate and with the adhesion test. In the studied conditions, the adding of the particles of graphene oxide did not change the corrosion resistance, but it showed a positive contribution to the wear resistance.

Des films composites et nanocomposites ont été élaborés par la méthode du casting à partir d’amidon natif de manioc. Ils ont été plastifiés par le glycérol et renforcés par des chargesminérales synthétiques de zéolithe Beta et de beidellite sodique. L’influence du type de charge, de l’état de la charge (lyophilisé ou non-lyophilisé ou séchage à l’air) ainsi que du taux de charge sur les propriétés mécaniques et barrières à la vapeur d’eau des films correspondants a été étudiée. Les valeurs de la solubilité dans l’eau et de la perméabilité à la vapeur d’eau des échantillons renforcés par des nanocristaux de zéolithe Beta lyophilisés sont plus grandes que celles du film de contrôle. Une augmentation significative des propriétés mécaniques, en particulier le module d’Young de ces films a aussi été observée. Une amélioration de la perméabilité à la vapeur d’eau des films composites contenant des cristaux de beidellite sodique et des films nanocomposites contenant des nanocristaux de zéolithe Beta a été trouvée. Tous les films ont été caractérisés par diffraction de rayons X. / Composite and nanocomposite films were prepared by casting method, using native cassava starch. The films were plasticized with glycerol and reinforced with synthetic Beta zeolite nanocrystals and Na-beidellite crystals. We studied the effect of the filler contents and type on the mechanical and water barrier properties of the resulting films. We found that filmsreinforced with lyophilized Beta zeolite nanocrystals present both high water solubility (WS) and high water vapor permeability (WVP) values compared to those of the pristine film. A drastic increase of the mechanical properties, especially in the Young’s modulus, of these films was also observed. An improvement of the WVP was found for composites prepared from Na-beidellite crystals and for nanocomposites from non-lyophilized Beta zeolite nanocrystals. All the films were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Corrosion of metallic materials is a natural process, and our study shows that even in an alkaline environment severe corrosion may occur on a carbon steel surface. While corrosion cannot be stopped it can be retarded. Many of the traditional anti-corrosion approaches such as the chromate process are effective but hazardous to the environment and human health. Mefp-1, a protein derived from blue mussel byssus, is well known for its extraordinary adhesion and film forming properties. Moreover, it has been reported that Mefp-1 confers a certain corrosion protection for stainless steel. All these facts indicate that this protein may be developed into corrosion inhibitors with ‘green’, ‘effective’ and ‘smart’ properties. In this study, a range of surface-sensitive techniques have been used to investigate adsorption kinetics, film forming and film compaction mechanisms of Mefp-1. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables the protein adsorption on substrates to be visualized, whereas the ex situ AFM facilitates the characterization of micro- and nano-structures of the protein films. In situ Peak Force AFM can be used to determine nano-mechanical properties of the surface layers. The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) was used to reveal the build-up of the Mefp-1 film on substrates and measure the viscoelastic properties of the adsorbed film. Analytical techniques and theoretical calculations were applied to gain insights into the formation and compaction processes such as oxidation and complexation of pre-formed Mefp-1 films. The electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized to obtain the chemical composition of the surface layer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed to evaluate the corrosion inhibition efficiency of different forms of Mefp-1 on carbon steel substrates. The results demonstrate that Mefp-1 adsorbs on carbon steel surfaces across a broad pH interval, and it forms a continuous film covering the substrate providing a certain extent of corrosion protection. At a higher pH, the adsorption is faster and the formed film is more compact. At neutral pH, results on the iron substrate suggest an initially fast adsorption, with the molecules oriented preferentially parallel to the surface, followed by a structural change within the film leading to molecules extending towards solution. Both oxidation and complexation of the Mefp-1 can lead to the compaction of the protein films. Addition of Fe3+ induces a transition from an extended and soft protein layer to a denser and stiffer one by enhancing the formation of tri-Fe3+/catechol complexes in the surface film, leading to water removal and film compaction. Exposure to a NaIO4 solution results in the cross-linking of Mefp-1, which also results in a significant compaction of the pre-formed protein film. Mefp-1 is an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel when added to an acidic solution, and the inhibition efficiency increases with time. As a film-forming corrosion inhibitor, the pre-formed Mefp-1 film provides a certain level of corrosion protection for short term applications, and the protection efficiency can be significantly enhanced by the film compaction processes. For the long term applications, a thin film composed of Mefp-1 and ceria nanoparticles was developed. The deposited Mefp-1/ceria composite film contains micro-sized aggregates of Mefp-1/Fe3+ complexes and CeO2 particles. The Mefp-1/ceria film may promote the further oxidation of ferrous oxides, and the corrosion resistance increases with time. Moreover, phosphate ions react with Fe ions released from the surface and form deposits preferentially at the surface defect sites. The deposits incorporate into the Mefp-1/ceria composite film and heal the surface defects, which result in a significantly improved corrosion inhibition effect for the Mefp-1/ceria composite film in both initial and prolonged exposure situations / <p>QC 20130610</p>

We are coming to realize that there is an urgent need to reduce energy usage in buildings and it has to be done in a sustainable way. This thesis focuses on the performance of the building envelope; more precisely thermal performance of walls and super insulation material in the form of vacuum insulation. However, the building envelope is just one part of the whole building system, and super insulators have one major flaw: they are easily adversely affected by other problems in the built environment.  Vacuum Insulation Panels are one fresh addition to the arsenal of insulation materials available to the building industry. They are composite material with a core and an enclosure which, as a composite, can reach thermal conductivities as low as 0.004 W/(mK). However, the exceptional performance relies on the barrier material preventing gas permeation, maintaining a near vacuum into the core and a minimized thermal bridge effect from the wrapping of barrier material round the edge of a panel. A serpentine edge is proposed to decrease the heat loss at the edge. Modeling and testing shows a reduction of 60% if a reasonable serpentine edge is used. A diffusion model of permeation through multilayered barrier films with metallization coatings was developed to predict ultimate service life. The model combines numerical calculations with analytical field theory allowing for more precise determination than current models. The results using the proposed model indicate that it is possible to manufacture panels with lifetimes exceeding 50 years with existing manufacturing. Switching from the component scale to the building scale; an approach of integrated testing and modeling is proposed. Four wall types have been tested in a large range of environments with the aim to assess the hygrothermal nature and significance of thermal bridges and air leakages. The test procedure was also examined as a means for a more representative performance indicator than R-value (in USA). The procedure incorporates specific steps exposing the wall to different climate conditions, ranging from cold and dry to hot and humid, with and without a pressure gradient. This study showed that air infiltration alone might decrease the thermal resistance of a residential wall by 15%, more for industrial walls. Results from the research underpin a discussion concerning the importance of a holistic approach to building design if we are to meet the challenge of energy savings and sustainability. Thermal insulation efficiency is a main concept used throughout, and since it measures utilization it is a partial measure of sustainability. It is therefore proposed as a necessary design parameter in addition to a performance indicator when designing building envelopes. The thermal insulation efficiency ranges from below 50% for a wood stud wall poorly designed with incorporated VIP, while an optimized design with VIP placed in an uninterrupted external layer shows an efficiency of 99%, almost perfect. Thermal insulation efficiency reflects the measured wall performance full scale test, thus indicating efficiency under varied environmental loads: heat, moisture and pressure. The building design must be as a system, integrating all the subsystems together to function in concert. New design methodologies must be created along with new, more reliable and comprehensive measuring, testing and integrating procedures. New super insulators are capable of reducing energy usage below zero energy in buildings. It would be a shame to waste them by not taking care of the rest of the system. This thesis details the steps that went into this study and shows how this can be done. / QC 20120228

Ce travail de thèse porte sur la compréhension du rôle polyvalent des liquides ioniques (LIs) phosphonium comme agents de nanostructuration et interfaciaux pour la matrice polymère fluorée poly(fluorure de vinylidène-chlorotrifluoroéthylène) (P(VDF-CTFE)). Dans un premier temps, deux LIs phosphonium avec des fonctionnalités différentes générant un encombrement stérique et des fonctions dipolaire additionnelles sont tout d'abord incorporés dans la matrice P(VDF-CTFE) pour préparer des films de polymère additives. La structure de la phase cristalline, la morphologie issue de la dispersion et le comportement de cristallisation sont finement caractérisés dans le but de fournir une compréhension fuie et complète du rôle joué par le LI sur la nanostructuration. Dans un second temps, le rôle d’agent interfacial du LI est étudié avec un LI phosphonium fluoré comprenant un cation combinant trois phényles et une chaîne fluorée courte.Ce LI est utilise pour modifier la surface de l'oxyde de graphène (GO) et de l'oxyde de graphène réduit (rGO) afin de rendre ces nanocharges fonctionnelles et les incorporer dans la matrice P(VDF-CTFE). Ainsi, des films composites de P(VDF-CTFE)/graphène avec différentes teneurs en nanocharges sont préparés et une caractérisation fuie de la structure et des propriétés est entreprise afin de mieux comprendre les mécanisme d’interaction interfaciale et leurs influences sur les films composites, tels que la structure de la phase cristalline, le comportement de cristallisation, la relaxation des chaînes, la morphologie et les propriétés diélectriques finales. / This thesis work deals with an understanding of the versatile roles of phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) as nanostructuration and interfacial agents for the fluorinated polymer matrix, i.e.,poly(vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-CTFE)). In this context, two phosphonium ILs with different functionalities in steric hindrance and extra dipolar groups are firstly incorporated in P(VDF-CTFE) matrix to prepare polymer films. The crystalline phase structure, dispersion morphology and crystallization behavior are finely characterized with the goal of providing a full and deep understanding of the versatile and tunable nanostructuration effect of phosphonium ILs. Subsequently, in order to elucidate the mechanism of interfacial influence of IL, a fluorinated phosphonium IL with a cation structure combining three phenyls and a short fluorinated chain is added on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), making them as functional nanofillers to be incorporated into P(VDF-CTFE) matrix. Thus,P(VDF-CTFE)/graphene composite films with different filler contents are prepared in order to investigate the mechanism of interfacial interaction and its influence on the composite films, such as crystalline phase structure, crystallization behavior, chain segmental relaxation behavior, dispersion morphology and the final dielectric properties.
