Effects of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) particle deposition on the atmospheric corrosion of copper (Cu) metal and a Cu-based alloy (Cu5Al5Zn) used in architectural applications were investigated at laboratory conditions compared with effects induced by sodium chloride (NaCl) and to some extent ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4 induced corrosion. Pre-deposited surfaces were exposed to repeated wet/dry conditions in a climatic chamber and the formation of corrosion products were assessed using light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis (SEM/EDS), Fourier transform infrared techniques (FTIR microscopy) and cathodic reduction (CR). Na2SO4 induced corrosion resulted in corrosion cells locally over the surface on both Cu and Cu5Al5Zn, of increased oxygen content in the anodic area of the cells (center of pre-deposited area). The main corrosion products formed on Cu metal are basic copper sulfates and cuprite (Cu2O), while basic sulfates (copper and/or zinc) and Cu2O were the main corrosion products formed on Cu5Al5Zn. A combined deposition of Na2SO4 + NaCl was carried out on the Cu5Al5Zn alloy using two different deposition methods to investigate the possible interplay from a corrosion initiation perspective between the two salt particles. For short time exposed Cu5Al5Zn (1 cycle), two different corrosion cells formed, mainly induced by Na2SO4 and NaCl. Corrosion products formed in anodic areas of a Na2SO4 induced corrosion cell were similar to findings observed for Cu5Al5Zn pre-deposited with Na2SO4 only, whereas peripheral cathodic areas primarily were affected by NaCl dissolution and predominantly composed of Cu2O that was the main corrosion product with small amount of hydroxides and carbonates of the NaCl induced corrosion cells. After relatively longer exposure periods (2 and 6 wet/dry cycles), NaCl dominated the corrosion of the entire surface with the formation of more Cu2O, hydroxides and carbonates. Cathodic reduction findings revealed a negative interplay on corrosion for the mixed salt after short time exposures (1 and 2 cycles), whereas a slight synergistic effect was evident after a longer exposure period (6 cycles), compared with corrosion induced by single salts.

Les alliages binaires FeCr de structure FM (ferrito/martensitique) sont actuellement les candidats les plus prometteurs comme matériaux de structure pour les réacteurs rapides refroidis au sodium et les futurs systèmes de fusion. Cependant, l'impact de Cr sur l'évolution de la microstructure irradié dans ces matériaux n’est pas bien compris. De plus, particulièrement pour les applications de fusion, le scénario de dégâts d'irradiation devrait être compliquée en outre par la présence de grandes quantités d'hélium produit par transmutation nucléaire (~ 10 appm He / dpa). Dans ce contexte, une étude spécifique des effets de l'irradiation ionique (influence du Cr et de l’He sur l’évolution de la microstructure) a été menée à 500 ° C sur une grande variété d’alliages FeCr de haute pureté (à teneur en Cr allant de ~ 3 wt.% À 14 wt.%) ainsi que sur du Fe pur. Les irradiations ont été effectuées à l'aide ions Fe, en mode mono-faisceau et mode dual-beam (irradiation par des ions Fe et co-implantation d'He) afin de pouvoir séparer le dommage ballistique de l’implantation couplée avec de l’He. Trois différentes doses ont été étudiées: dose élevée (157 dpa, avec 17 appm He / dpa), dose intermédiaire (45 dpa, avec 57 appm He / dpa) et in situ à faible dose (0,33 dpa, avec 3030 appm He / dpa). Les expériences ont été effectuées en utilisant l'installation JANNuS triple faisceau du CEA-Saclay et la plateforme in-situ du CSNSM-Orsay. L’évolution microstructurale des échantillons est essentiellement faite par MET, SAT et par EDS en mode STEM. Les principaux résultats sont les suivants : 1) L’étude détaillée de la population des cavités dans du Fe irradié à forte dose a révélé une forte réduction du gonflement du fait de l'ajout d’He. Une réduction drastique de la taille des cavités en dépit d’une densité plus élevée a été observée. Ce comportement a été observé tout au long zone irradié, jusqu’au pic d’endommagement. 2) La microstructure de cavités a également été étudiée dans les alliages FeCr irradiés en double faisceau à forte dose, et les résultats ont été comparés à ceux obtenus dans le Fe pur. L'analyse a été effectuée à une profondeur intermédiaire de 300 à 400 nm sous la surface (pour éviter les effets des interstitiels injectés et les effets de surface), correspondant à 128 dpa, 13 appm He / dpa. L’étude par TEM a montré que l'addition de petites quantités de Cr, aussi basse que 3wt.%, est très efficace pour réduire fortement le gonflement. Une réduction drastique de la taille des cavités a été mise en évidence. Par exemple, la taille moyenne des cavités pour l’alliage Fe3% Cr est de l’ordre de 0,9 nm alors qu’elle est voisine de 6,8 nm pour le Fe pur. De plus, la variation du gonflement en fonction de la teneur en Cr n’est pas monotone et présente un maximum local à environ 9 -. 10wt% Cr. 3) Le couplage des différentes techniques d’analyse, MET classique, STEM/EDS et analyse SAT appliqué à l’étude des alliages FeCr irradiés à faible et moyenne dose révèle la présence de zones enrichies en Cr sur le plan d’habitat des boucles de dislocation. Ce phénomène est relié à un phénomène de ségrégation induite par irradiation (RIS) de Cr au voisinage du coeur des boucles de dislocation. Quand la boucle se développe sous irradiation, les zones de ségrégation ne peuvent probablement pas se redissoudre du fait de la présence d'impuretés telles que le C. Lorsque les boucles sont imagées par MET, ces zones enrichies produisent des franges de contraste au voisinage du plan de la boucle. Une estimation quantitative de cet enrichissement a été déduit par STEM / EDS et l'SAT. La teneur en Cr dans ces domaines se situe entre 23 -. 35% par EDS et 22 % par SAT, ce qui est bien en dessous de la teneur en Cr de la phase α’ riche en Cr. / FeCr binary alloys are a simple representative of the reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (F-M) steels, which are currently the most promising candidates as structural materials for the sodium cooled fast reactors (SFR) and future fusion systems. However, the impact of Cr on the evolution of the irradiated microstructure in these materials is not well understood in these materials. Moreover, particularly for fusion applications, the radiation damage scenario is expected to be complicated further by the presence of large quantities of He produced by the nuclear transmutation (~ 10 appm He/dpa). Within this context, an elaborate ion irradiation study was performed at 500 °C on a wide variety of high purity FeCr alloys (with Cr content ranging from ~ 3 wt.% to 14 wt.%) and a bcc Fe, to probe in detail the influence of Cr and He on the evolution of microstructure. The irradiations were performed using Fe self-ions, in single beam mode and in dual beam mode (damage by Fe ions and co-implantation of He), to separate ballistic damage effect from the impact of simultaneous He injection. Three different dose ranges were studied: high dose (157 dpa, 17 appm He/dpa for the dual beam case), intermediate dose (45 dpa, 57 appm He/dpa for dual beam case) and in-situ low dose (0.33 dpa, 3030 appm He/dpa for the dual beam case). The experiments were performed at the JANNuS triple beam facility and dual beam in situ irradiation facility at CEA-Saclay and CSNSM, Orsay respectively. The microstructure was principally characterized by conventional TEM, APT and EDS in STEM mode. The main results are as follows: 1) A comparison of the cavity microstructure in high dose irradiated Fe revealed strong swelling reduction by the addition of He. It was achieved by a drastic reduction in cavity sizes and an increased number density. This behaviour was observed all along the damage depth, upto the damage peak. 2) Cavity microstrusture was also studied in the dual beam high dose irradiated FeCr alloys, and the results were compared to bcc Fe. The analysis was performed at an intermediate depth 300 – 400 nm below the surface (to avoid injected interstitial effect and surface effects), corresponding to 128 dpa, 13 appm He/dpa. TEM study revealed that the addition of small quantities of Cr, as low as 3wt.%, is highly efficient in strongly reducing void swelling. It was achieved by a drastic reduction of cavity sizes. For instance, average cavity size in Fe3%Cr was 0.9 nm as opposed to 6.8 nm in bcc Fe. Furthermore, the variation of void swelling as a function of Cr content is non-monotonic, with alocal maxima around 9 - 10wt.%Cr. 3) Coupling of conventional TEM, STEM/EDS and APT analysis on low and intermediate dose irradiated FeCr alloys revealed the presence of Cr enriched zones on the habit plane of the dislocation loops. This is expected to be due to radiation induced segregation (RIS) of Cr close to the core of the loops. As the loop grows under irradiation, the segregated areas are probably prevented from re-dissolution by impurity elements such as C. When imaged by TEM using classical diffraction contrast imaging techniques, these enriched zones produce displacement fringe contrast on the loop plane. A quantitative estimate of this enrichment was deduced by STEM/EDSand APT. The Cr content in these areas was between 23 - 35 at.% measured by EDS and 22 ± 2 at.% obtained by APT, whichis well below the Cr content of the Cr-rich α’ phase.

Dentre as opções de terapias dessensibilizantes, a proposta mais recente para o tratamento da Hipersensibilidade Dentinária é o uso do biovidro. Esse novo material apresenta a capacidade de promover a formação de hidroxiapatita na superfície da dentina, representando uma união química mais estável e duradoura sobre os túbulos dentinários. Este trabalho comparou o efeito de uma nova formulação de biovidro disperso em ácido fosfórico 30%, associado ao laser de Nd:YAG e ao laser de CO2 na obliteração de túbulos dentinários expostos. Foram obtidas 96 amostras de dentina humana que foram divididas em 6 grupos experimentais (n=16) e distribuídas como a seguir: G1 -­ controle negativo (nenhum tratamento adicional);? G2 -­ laser de Nd:YAG;? G3 -­ laser de CO2;? G4 -­ pasta de biovidro (biovidro + ácido fosfórico 30%);? G5 -­ pasta de biovidro + laser de Nd:YAG;? G6 -­ pasta de biovidro + laser de CO2. Os grupos G5 e G6 foram irradiados com laser de Nd:YAG e laser de CO2, respectivamente, após tratamento com a pasta de biovidro disperso em ácido fosfórico. Ao final do experimento, os grupos foram analisados qualitativamente por Espectroscopia de Infravermelho na Transformada de Fourier (FTIR), Difração de Raios X (DRX), Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) e Espectroscopia de Dispersão de Energia de Raios X (EDS). As análises evidenciaram que a dipersão do biovidro em ácido fosfórico 30% é capaz de formar cristais de hidrogenofosfato de cálcio e, quando a pasta formulada é aplicada sobre a dentina, ocorrem reações químicas com a estrutura dental, formando cristais de monetita. Ao irradiar os cristais formados com laser de Nd:YAG e CO2, ocorreu a desidratação desses cristais, levando à formação de hidroxiapatita. As imagens de MEV demonstram a formação de precipitados cristalinos e amorfos de dimensões variadas sobre a superfície de dentina e na entrada dos túbulos dentinários em todos os grupos que receberam o tratamento com a formulação de biovidro. O laser de CO2 foi capaz de promover alterações na morfologia do material formado de maneira ainda mais evidente especialmente nas dimensões e disposição dos cristais de hidroxiapatita formado sobre a superfície. A análise de EDS evidenciou presença de silício, composto que não está presente naturalmente na estrutura dentária, mas somente na composição do biovidro. Dessa forma, pode-­se concluir que a associação do pó de biovidro com ácido fosfórico 30% permitiu a formação de uma camada de cristais na superfície e entrada dos túbulos dentinários, evidenciando que a pasta formulada viabiliza a aplicação e manutenção do biovidro sobre a superfície dentinária. Sua associação com o laser de Nd:YAG e CO2 parece melhorar a interação desses cristais com a dentina, formando cristais de hidroxiapatita. Nesse estudo, o laser de CO2 promoveu a melhor distribuição e conformação dos cristais sobre a dentina. / Among desensitizing therapies options, the most recent proposal for Dentin Hypersensitivity treatment is the use of bioglass. This new material presents the ability to promote the formation of hydroxyapatite on dentin surface, representing a more stable and lasting chemical bond on dentin tubules. This work compared the effect of a new formulation of bioglass dispersed in 30% phosphoric acid, associated with Nd: YAG laser and CO2 laser in the obliteration of exposed dentin tubules. 96 human dentin samples were obtained, divided into 6 experimental groups (n = 16) and distributed as follows: G1 -­ negative control (no additional treatment);? G2-­ Nd: YAG laser;? G3 - CO2 laser;? G4 -­ bioglass paste (bioglass + 30% phosphoric acid);? G5 -­ bioglass paste + Nd: YAG laser;? G6 -­ bioglass paste + CO2 laser. Groups G5 and G6 were irradiated with Nd:YAG laser and CO2 laser, respectively, after treatment with the slurry dispersed in phosphoric acid. At the end of the experiment, all groups were qualitatively analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-­ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-­ray Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (EDS). The analysis showed that the dispersion of bioglass in 30% phosphoric acid forms calcium hydrogen phosphate crystals and when the formulated paste is applied on dentin surface, chemical reactions occur with the dental structure, forming monetite crystals. When irradiating these crystals with Nd: YAG and CO2 laser, dehydration of these crystals occurred leading to the formation of hydroxyapatite. MEV images demonstrate the formation of crystalline and amorphous precipitates of varying dimensions on the dentin surface and at the entrance of dentinal tubules in all groups receiving treatment with the bioglass formulation. The CO2 laser was able to promote changes in the morphology of the formed material even more evident especially in the dimension and arrangement of hydroxyapatite crystals formed on the surface. The analysis of EDS showed the presence of silicon, a compound that is not naturally present in the tooth structure, but only in the bioglass composition. Thus, it can be concluded that the association of bioglass powder with 30% phosphoric acid allowed the formation of a layer of crystals on the surface and its entrance of the dentinal tubules, evidencing that the formulated paste enables the application and maintenance of bioglass on dentin surface. Its association with the Nd:YAG and CO2 laser seems to improve the interaction of these crystals with dentin, forming hydroxyapatite crystals. In this study. CO2 laser promoted better crystals distribution and conformation on dentin surface.

O chumbo é um metal muito tóxico e que tem ampla distribuição pela sua grande utilidade. Mesmo a exposição a baixos níveis (que não causam sintomas de intoxicação aguda) de chumbo é associada a desordens cognitivas e neurológicas. O osso é considerado o melhor marcador de exposição a chumbo. No tecido ósseo, vários elementos estão presentes, e alguns deles poderiam ter sua concentração modificada pela exposição a chumbo. Testou-se a hipótese de que haja variações nos elementos Zn e Mg nas tíbias de animais expostos a chumbo (por técnica de química analítica convencional). Testou-se também se variações em microelementos poderiam ser detectadas por técnicas semiquantitativas nas tíbias de controles e animais expostos a chumbo. O objetivo deste projeto foi caracterizar em animais expostos ao chumbo desde a gestação e controles as concentrações deste elemento no osso (tíbia) de animais de 28 e 60 dias. Além do chumbo, investigamos também a concentração de 2 outros microelementos no osso: zinco e magnésio. As medidas quantitativas de chumbo foram feitas no sangue total coletado ao final dos períodos. As medidas quantitativas de chumbo, cálcio, zinco e magnésio foram realizadas a partir de soluções ácidas obtidas pela dissolução total do osso, sendo estas utilizadas para quantificar por Espectrometria de Absorção Atômica no modo chama ou com Forno e Grafite. Mandíbulas foram análisadas em Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura e utilizando os acessórios Eletron Dispersive Spectroscopy para os elementos mais abundantes e Wavelenght dispersive Spectroscopy para investigar por análise semiquantitativa os mais abundantes elementos inorgânicos no osso destes animais, como forma de verificar se há variações nestes microelementos nos animais expostos a chumbo em comparação com controles. Como o chumbo se concentra na superfície do esmalte, também analisou-se o esmalte de primeiros molares inferiores, a fim de verificar se era visto o sinal do elemento chumbo nestes dentes. Foram usados ratos Wistar machos de 28 e 60 dias divididos em 2 grupos: C 28D (n=5) e Pb 28D (n=5) e, C 60D (n=12) e Pb 60D (n=17). Em todas as medidas de chumbo dos grupos controle as concentrações obtidas foram próximas ao limite de detecção, e houve sempre diferença estatisticamente significante (P<0.0001) quando os controles foram comparados aos grupos expostos a chumbo. As concentrações de chumbo obtidas no sangue de animais do grupo Pb 28D foi de 8,0 ug/dl (± 1.1) e no grupo Pb 60D foi de 7,2 ug/dl (± 0.89). Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre as massas das tíbias (aferidas em balança e também a partir da quantidade de cálcio dissolvida em solução) do grupo C 60D (0,86 g ± 0,13) e Pb 60D (0,61 g ±0,11)(p=0.0004). As concentrações de chumbo detectadas nos ossos do grupo Pb 28D foi 8,02 (± 1,12) e no grupo Pb 60D foi de 43,3ug/g (± 13,26). Concentração de zinco no osso do grupo C 60D foi 0,22 mg/g e no grupo Pb 60D foi 0,22 mg/g (p>0.05). A concentração de magnésio no osso do grupo C 60D foi de 4,89 mg/g ± 0,74 e no grupo Pb 60D foi de 4,98mg/g ±0,79 (p>0.05). Os microelementos mais abundantes detectados nas tíbias contralaterais por Microscopia Eletrônica de varredura por EDS/WDS foram cálcio, fósforo, carbono, oxigênio, magnésio, sódio e potássio, não tendo sido detectadas variações nestes elementos entre os grupos controle e expostos a chumbo de 60 dias. O chumbo foi detectado apenas na região cervical dos dentes molares por MEV-EDS, e, nesta posição, apenas na forma de óxido de chumbo (deposição extrínseca) que pode ser útil para fins forenses ou de determinação de contaminação desconhecida. As conclusões deste estudo são: Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre as massas de osso do grupo Pb 60D e C 60D. Mesmo não havendo diferença entre as concentrações de chumbo no sangue total de animais de 28 e 60 dias, houve quantidade de chumbo 5 vezes maior nos animais Pb 60D. Não houve diferenças nas concentrações de zinco e magnésio entre controles e animais expostos a chumbo. Os microelementos mais abundantes detectados nas tibias contralaterais por Microscopia Eletrônica de varredura por EDS/WDS foram cálcio, fósforo, carbono, oxigênio, magnésio, sódio e potássio, não tendo sido detectadas variações semi-quantitativas nestes elementos. O chumbo não foi detectado nem nos grupos controle ou expostos por MEV, e nos molares só foi detectada no grupo exposto como uma deposição extrínseca. / Lead is a highly toxic metal that is ubiquitous do to its great usefulness. Exposure to even low levels of lead (which do not cause symptoms of acute poisoning) is associated with cognitive and neurological disorders. Bone is considered the best marker of exposure to lead. Several chemical elements are found in bone, and some of them may have a different concentration or distribution due to exposure to lead. We tested the hypothesis that there are variations in the elements zinc and magnesium in the tibia of animals exposed to lead (being those elements determined by a conventional analytic chemistry technique). It was also tested whether variations in microelements could be detected by semiquantitative microanalysis in tibias of controls and animals exposed to lead. The objective of this project was to determine the concentration of lead in bone (tibia) of animals exposed to lead from pregnancy to day 28 and day 60. Besides lead, zinc and magnesium were also determined. Lead was also determined in whole blood collected at the end of the 2 time points. Quantitative measurements of lead, calcium, zinc and magnesium have been made in solutions obtained by dissolution of the bone by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry using flame or Graphite Furnace. Tibias were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy using the accessories Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy and Wavelength dispersive Spectroscopy for semiquantitative analysis of inorganic elements in the bone and molars of these animals. Lower molars were also analyzed by these means. Male Wistar rats aged 28 and 60 days were used in these study. In both these ages there were animals in the control (C 28D, n = 5 and C 60D, n=12) and lead exposed group (Pb 28D, n = 5 and Pb 60D, n = 17). Lead concentrations found in control groups were close to the detection limit, and there was always statistically significant differences (P <0.0001) when control groups were compared with those exposed to lead. Blood lead of groups Pb 28D and Pb 60D was 8.0 ug/dl (± 1.1) and 7.2 ug/dl (± 0.89), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the masses of the tibia (measured in balance and also from the amount of calcium dissolved in solution): C 60D showing 0.86 g (± 0.13 g) and 0.61 g (± 0, 11) of the Pb 60D group (p = 0.0004). Lead concentrations increased five times when the Pb 28D group was compared with the Pb 60D (8.02 and 43.3 ug/g)(p<0.0001). Zinc concentrations were not different in the C 60D (0.22 mg/g) and in the Pb 60D group (0.22 mg/g)(p>0.05). Magnesium concentrations were 4.89 mg/g in the C 60D and 4.98 mg/g in the Pb 60D (p>0.05). The most abundant trace elements detected in the contralateral tibiae by SEM-EDS/WDS were calcium, phosphorus, carbon, oxygen, magnesium, sodium and potassium and no variations in these elements were detected between the control and lead exposed groups. Lead was detected only in the cervical region of molar teeth of the lead exposed groups by SEM-EDS. This finding revealed lead in the lead oxide (extrinsic deposition) which may be useful for forensic purposes or for determining unknown contaminations. Conclusions: There was a statistically significant difference between the bone masses of the Pb 60D and C 60D groups. While there is no difference between lead concentrations in whole blood of animals 28 and 60 days, the amount of lead was 5 times higher in animals Pb 60D. There were no differences in the concentrations of zinc and magnesium between controls and lead exposed animals. The most abundant trace elements detected in the contralateral tibiae by SEM-EDS/WDS were calcium, phosphorus, carbon, oxygen, magnesium, sodium and potassium, and no semi-quantitative variations in these elements were detected in relation to exposure to lead. Lead was not detected either in control or exposed groups by SEM, and in molars it was only detected in the exposed group as an extrinsic deposition.
