A formulation with DGEBA epoxy resin was used with three different curing agent types: anhydride base, aliphatic amine base and polyamidoamine base. The curing reaction kinetic analysis of each epoxy system was performed by Osawa dynamic method by DSC according ASTM E968. The thermal properties of the epoxy systems were checked by TGA and DSC while the mechanical properties were measured by Shore D hardness and IZOD impact strength, also the a characterization by SEM was performed. The epoxy systems performance in capacitor was verified by qualification tests for film capacitors for automotive application based in AEC-Q200 D, as: exposure to the maximum capacitor operating temperture, exposure to thermal cycles and exposure to humidity. The capacitors were characterized by the capacitance variation while the effects in the epoxy systems were checked by their thermal and mechanical properties change. The systems based on aliphatic amine and polyamidoamine had lower activation energy and higher reaction velocity than the anhydride system. The performance of the capacitor against humidity was similar between the evaluated systems showing low loss of capacitance after the test, whereas against thermal cycles, even the aliphatic amine and polyamidoamine base systems were not affected by reduction of mechanical properties, they had their performance affected by cracks arising. Regarding the performance under exposure to the maximum operating temperature, the anhydride system presented the lowest capacitance loss in the capacitor, followed by the samples with polyamidoamine and aliphatic amine, respectively, which showed a significant reduction of the mechanical properties after prolonged exposure to the temperature of the test. / Neste estudo avaliou-se a influ?ncia de diferentes agentes de cura comerciais de resina ep?xi no encapsulamento de capacitores de filme.

Os capacitores foram caracterizados pela varia??o de capacit?ncia enquanto que os efeitos nos sistemas ep?xi foram acompanhados pela altera??o em suas propriedades t?rmicas e mec?nicas. Os sistemas a base de amina alif?tica e poliamidoamina apresentaram menor energia de ativa??o e maior velocidade de rea??o que o sistema anidrido. O desempenho do capacitor frente a umidade foi similar entre os sistemas avaliados com baixa perda de capacit?ncia ap?s o ensaio, enquanto que frente aos ciclos t?rmicos, mesmo n?o apresentando redu??o de propriedades mec?nicas os sistemas base amina alif?tica e poliamidoamina tiveram seu desempenho afetado pelo aparecimento de trincas. Em rela??o ao desempenho sob exposi??o ? temperatura m?xima o sistema anidrido foi o que apresentou menor perda de capacit?ncia no capacitor, seguido das amostras com poliamidoamina e amina alif?tica, respectivamente, sendo que estas apresentaram redu??o significativa das propriedades mec?nicas ap?s exposi??o prolongada a temperatura do ensaio.

The objective of this work was to study the effects of aging under exposure to temperature up to 160?C and humidity on the damage mechanisms of carbon/epoxy composites subjected to cyclic loading. Initially, a preliminary accelerated aging study was conducted with unidirectional AS4/8552 samples using an exposure cycle of 8 h of UVA-340 at 80 ?C followed by 4 h of condensation at 80 ?C, for a total exposure period of 2,160 h. The effects of aging were evidenced by weight loss, fiber exposure, chemical changes, increased crack density in interlaminar shear strength tests, and fiber buckling in fractured samples after compression tests, even though no significant changes mechanical properties were observed. Based on this preliminary work, a study was conducted on [02/902]s laminates of the same material, using an exposure cycle of 8 h at 160 ?C followed by 4 h of 80% relative humidity at 70 ?C, for a total exposure period of 2,880 h. Afterwards, stress-controlled tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted using a stress ratio R = 0.1 and frequency of 5 Hz. Composites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and weight change, before and after hygrothermal exposure. Samples of plain epoxy 8552 were also exposed to the same aging conditions and characterized by optical microscopy (OM), FTIR spectroscopy and weight change. Based on the fatigue life diagrams, a shift function was proposed for the prediction of number of cycles to failure of aged composites based on data from unaged specimens. The study also showed that failure by fracture may not be the best parameter to evaluate the effect of hygrothermal aging on fatigue life of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. Other parameters such as delamination and crack saturation are also essential to assess durability of these composites.

Embora o pa?s consiga reciclar mais da metade da produ??o de PET, ainda ? muito elevado o volume deste material em forma de garrafas. Salienta-se que, apesar do benef?cio da resina PET poder ser utilizada em in?meras aplica??es e sob diversos processos, ? necess?rio desenvolver alternativas de seu reuso na via de reciclagem. Nesta vertente, o objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar a aplica??o do tecido de pet, oriundo do processo de reciclagem das garrafas, como refor?o de comp?sitos polim?ricos. Para tanto, na metodologia utilizada, ap?s a preliminar caracteriza??o do tecido de pet via ensaios t?xteis (Determina??o de gramatura; Resist?ncia ? propaga??o ao rasgo; Resist?ncia ? tra??o e alongamento), confeccionou-se laminados comp?sitos polim?ricos com matriz ep?xi e diferentes fra??es de tecido para a verifica??o e an?lise de suas principais propriedades f?sico-qu?micas, mec?nicas e t?rmicas. Os seguintes ensaios foram realizados nos corpos de prova de resina e laminado comp?sito: Densidade; Absor??o de ?gua; Teor de umidade; Tra??o uniaxial; Flex?o em tr?s pontos; Compress?o; Dureza; TG; DMA e An?lise de fratura. A an?lise dos resultados evidenciou que o incremento de camadas de tecido propicia ao comp?sito o aumento nas resist?ncias ? tra??o e ? compress?o; al?m do que, eleva a rigidez viscoel?stica do material, ao passo que diminui a resist?ncia ? flex?o. Observou-se tamb?m que as camadas de tecido de PET diminuem o teor de umidade do comp?sito, bem como a sua capacidade de absor??o de ?gua. Contudo, as propriedades Dureza e Densidade n?o apresentaram varia??o significativa com a inclus?o do tecido de PET. A configura??o P90, com o m?ximo teor de tecido de PET no laminado, exprimiu-se como a de melhor desempenho frente aos ensaios realizados. Deste modo, a utiliza??o do tecido PET evidencia aspectos atraentes para as iniciativas empresariais do setor. A composi??o P90, como refor?o de comp?sito polim?rico, foi a que apresentou melhor resultado. Esse material tr?s reflexos socio-econ?micos diretamente relacionados com a melhoria da qualidade de vida da popula??o, gera??o de renda, economia de recursos naturais e atenua??o de problemas ambientais. / There is no doubt whatsoever that the widest consumption of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle grade is a unique chapter among the resins produced in Brazil. Although the country is able to recycle more than a half of all PET production, the number of such material for bottle fabrication is still very high. It is important to remark that, though all benefits of PET resin uses in uncountable applications and under many processes; alternatives to its reuse throughout recycling dynamics must be developed. Thus, this work aims at evaluating the application of PET fabric coming from the process of bottle recycling polymeric composite reinforcements. In order to do so, after a preliminary characterization of the PET fabric by textile tests (Grammage determination; Tear propagation resistance; Tensile strength and elongation resistance), laminated polymeric composite with epoxy matrix as well as different fractions of fabric for checking and analysis of their main physicochemical, mechanical and thermal properties were engendered. The following tests were performed with the resin and with laminated composite: Density, Water absorption; Moisture content; Uniaxial tensile; Three point flexural test; Compression; Hardness; TG; DMA and Fracture analysis. By analyzing the results, it was noticed that the increase of fabric layers provide a resistance and compression gain to the composite, and it also increases the material viscoelastic stiffness, at the same time as its flexural strength is diminish. It was also noticed that its water absorption capacity was diminished. Nevertheless, its hardness and density properties did not present meaningful variation with the PET addition. The P90 setting with the highest content of PET fabric in the laminate presented itself as having the best results in the tests. Therefore the use of PET fabric presents attracting aspects to entrepreneurship. P90 configuration used as polymeric composite reinforcements were the one to present the best results. Such material brings socio-economical reflexions directly linked to the improvement of livelihood, natural resources economy and offset environment problems.

As for natural fibers research line, there is a vast quantity of options for engineering application handling (Sisal, carnauba, cotton, piassava, etc.) In the face of what has been exposed, this research strives for the production, characterization (Mechanical, thermal and physical) and comparison of a series of configurations in the composite materials with a polymer matrix (Epoxy) with reinforcement of PET after consummation and piassava (epoxy resin for reference; enhancement resin with piassava fibers; and hybrid composite). The composites were produced with bidirectional fibers in a format of tissue, the fibers had spaces between them of 1 centimeter. The reinforced materials promoted increment of some properties, such as flection, that presented an enhancement of nearly 25% of maximum tension admitted in the material. It was observed however, that the ordination of the fibers in a unidirectional way might improve the mechanic resistance of the composite, that?s because, in general form, all the ruptures occur in one section of fragilization provoked by the transversal fibers to the reinforces. While submitted to mechanic reinforces, the composite with reinforce/charge of PET presented itself with an improved configuration, Which showed a modulus of elasticity in a regime of flexion 24% larger than the pure resin. As for the thermal analysis, the hybrid composite presented enriched characteristics for the thermal insulation, since its thermal conductivity reduced by 2% when compared to the pure epoxy.

The nanographite was obtained by chemical (acid intercalation), thermal (microwave expansion) and mechanical (ultrasonic exfoliation) treatments. The mechanical, electrical and thermal behavior of the nanocomposites was determined and evaluated as a function of the percentage of reinforcement. According to the experimental results, the electrical conductivity of epoxy was not altered by the addition of nanographite in the contents evaluated. However, based on the mechanical tests, nanocomposites with addition of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% of nanographite showed increase in tensile strength of 16,62 % and 3,20 %, respectively, compared to the neat polymer. The smaller increase in mechanical strength of the nanocomposite with 3 wt.% of nanographite was related to the formation of agglomerates. The addition of 1 wt.% and 3 wt.% of nanographite also resulted in a decrease of 6,25 % and 17,60 %, respectively, in the relative density of the material. Thus, the specific strength of the nanocomposites was approximately 33,33 % greater when compared to the neat polymer.

A adi??o de 1 % p/p e 3% p/p de nanografite tamb?m resultou em uma diminui??o de 6,25 % e 17,60 %, respectivamente, na densidade relativa do pol?mero. Portanto, a eleva??o da resist?ncia espec?fica dos nanocomp?sitos foi de aproximadamente 33,33% para os dois nanocomp?sitos, em rela??o ao pol?mero puro.

Analyzing the results of the tests of tension and three point bending tests, it was observed that the composites with the configuration of overlapping had the better elastic module in both tests. As to the maximum resistance to tension, the best result was the composites aligned in a single direction. Tests of absorption of water and micrographs are in progress / Os comp?sitos fabricados com fibras longas alinhadas unidirecionalmente e em sobreposi??o tem demonstrado que possuem melhor desempenho do que as fibras cortadas aleatoriamente distribu?das. Em especial, as fibras lignocelul?sicas extra?das do sisal, utilizadas em conjunto com a resina ep?xi tem atra?do a aten??o de muitos pesquisadores devido ?s propriedades finais do sistema formado. No presente trabalho foram fabricados comp?sitos ? base de resina ep?xi refor?ado com fibras de sisal. As fibras de sisal foram submetidas ao tratamento alcalino com NaOH a 0,06 mol/l, em seguida submetidas ao ensaio de tra??o na fibra tratada e n?o tratada. Os comp?sitos foram fabricados no molde denominado de Lossy (molde com perdas) usinado de acordo com as especifica??es das amostras a serem produzidas (300x20x4 mm). Os ensaios de tra??o foram realizados de acordo com as normas ASTM 3039 (Para os comp?sitos alinhados unidirecionalmente) e ASTM D5573 (Para os comp?sitos em sobreposi??o), os ensaios de flex?o em tr?s pontos foram realizados de acordo com as normas ASTM D 790. Analisando os resultados dos ensaios de tra??o e flex?o em tr?s pontos, foram observados que os comp?sitos com a configura??o de sobreposi??o teve melhor m?dulo de elasticidade em ambos os ensaios. Quanto a resist?ncia m?xima a tra??o o melhor resultado foi do comp?sito alinhado unidirecionalmente. No ensaio de absor??o de ?gua foi observado que os comp?sitos possuem um n?vel muito baixo de absor??o e o comp?sito alinhado unidirecionalmente obteve percentual de satura??o de 1,97 %. Nas micrografias, se observa as regi?es de ruptura/trincas do comp?sito e seu comportamento (fibra/matriz)

A adi??o de termopl?sticos ? matriz termofixa produzindo resinas repar?veis aparece como t?cnica de reparo promissora. Neste trabalho, o termopl?stico poli (etileno-co-?cido-metacr?lico) (EMAA) foi adicionado no plano m?dio de laminados comp?sitos carbono-ep?xi para fabrica??o de um sistema de reparo. Foram fabricadas placas com 5%, 10% e 15% de EMAA em massa de resina do prepreg. Ensaios de resist?ncia ao cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS), an?lise din?mico mec?nica (DMA), espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e microscopia eletr?nica de varredura com fonte de emiss?o de campo (MEV-FEG) foram conduzidos para avaliar o efeito da adi??o desse termopl?stico ao comp?sito e seu comportamento antes e ap?s o reparo. As amostras reparadas n?o apresentaram aumento na resist?ncia ao cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS) ap?s o reparo. Entretanto, para maiores porcentagens de EMAA, houve redu??o dessa propriedade, al?m de redu??o de m?dulo de elasticidade e da temperatura de transi??o v?trea (Tg), em rela??o aos valores apresentados pelo comp?sito puro. Imagens de MEV confirmaram a forte ades?o entre o EMAA e a resina ep?xi, formando uma camada adesiva que impediu a forma??o de delamina??es no plano m?dio do laminado. / Self-healing techniques in epoxy resins have been developed to improve the durability and reduce costs associated with repairs of these materials during service. The addition of thermoplastics into the thermoset matrix producing mendable resins appears as a promising self-healing technique. In this study, poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) was added in the mid-plane of carbon fiber-epoxy composites laminates to produce a self-healing system. Plates were manufactured with addition of 5%, 10% and 15% of EMAA as related to the resin weight of prepreg. Interlaminar shear strength test (ILSS), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field-emission gun scanning electron microcopy (FEG-SEM) were employed in order to evaluate the effect of the addition of the thermoplastic to the composite and its behavior before and after a healing cycle. The healed samples did not show an increase in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) after healing. However, for higher percentages of EMAA there was a reduction of this property, besides a reduction of Young?s modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg), in relation to the values presented by the unmodified composite. SEM images confirmed the strong adhesion between EMAA and epoxy resin, which produced an adhesive layer that prevented delamination in the mid-plane of the laminate.

The expected benefits of homogenization include increased mechanical strength, toughness and resistance to delamination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of stacking sequence on the tensile strength of laminates. Composite plates were fabricated using unidirectional layers of carbon/epoxy prepreg with configurations [903/303/-303]S and [90/30/-30]3S. Specimens were subjected to tensile and open hole tension (OHT) tests. According to the experimental results, the mean values of strength for the homogenized laminates [90/30/-30]3S were 140% and 120% greater for tensile and OHT tests, respectively, as compared to laminates with configuration [903/303/-303]S. The increase in tensile strength for more homogenized laminates was associated with the increment in interlaminar interfaces, which requires more energy to produce delamination, and the more complicated crack propagation through plies with different orientations. OHT strength was not affected by the presence of the hole due to the predominance of the interlaminar shear stress in relation to the stress concentration produced by the hole / Laminados formados por l?minas com diferentes orienta??es, finamente dispersas, s?o classificados como homogeneizados. Os benef?cios esperados da homogeneiza??o incluem aumento de resist?ncia mec?nica, da tenacidade e da resist?ncia ? delamina??o. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da sequ?ncia de empilhamento na resist?ncia ? tra??o de laminados quase-isotr?picos. Placas de comp?sitos foram fabricadas com l?minas unidirecionais de ep?xi/carbono com configura??es [903/303/-303]S e [90/30/-30]3S. Corpos de prova foram submetidos a ensaios de tra??o e de open hole tension (OHT). De acordo com os resultados experimentais, os valores m?dios de resist?ncia para os laminados mais homogeneizados [90/30/-30]3S foram incrementados em 140% e 120% nos ensaios de resist?ncia ? tra??o e OHT, respectivamente, em rela??o aos laminados com configura??o [903/303/-303]S. O aumento de resist?ncia ? tra??o para laminados mais homogeneizados foi relacionado com o maior n?mero de interfaces interlaminares, que aumenta a quantidade de energia necess?ria para produzir delamina??o, e a maior dificuldade de propaga??o de trincas atrav?s de l?minas com orienta??es diferentes. A resist?ncia medida nos ensaios de OHT n?o foi afetada pela presen?a do furo devido ? predomin?ncia da influ?ncia da tens?o de cisalhamento interlaminar em rela??o ao efeito de concentra??o de tens?o provocado pelo furo
