Effects of HALSs and Nano-ZnO Worked as UV Stabilizers of Polypropylene

Lu, Xinyao 12 1900 (has links)
This work reports the outdoor weathering performance of ultraviolet (UV)-stabilized polypropylene (PP) products (using PP resins from Encore Wire). Different hindered amine light stabilizers (HALSs) and nano-ZnO were used to stabilize PP-film-based formulations that were exposed under UV light for 6 weeks simulating for in harsh outdoor weather of Dallas, Texas, USA in 2016. Characterization of the exposed PP film products was done in terms of mechanical and friction spectroscopic properties. The PP film formulations were divided into 15 categories based on the type of HALS and nano-ZnO incorporated. This was done to derive meaningful comparison of the various film formulations. Following exposure under UV light, the lifetimes of certain formulations were determined. On the basis of the mechanical and friction properties, it was determined that generally, the HALS or nano-ZnO stabilized PP film give better properties and if those two kinds of UV stabilizers can work together.

Elaboration et Caractérisation de Nano-Composites Métal-Intermétalliques Complexes / Development and Characterization of Metal-Complex Intermetallic Nano-Composites

Kenzari, Samuel 04 December 2006 (has links)
Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet ADEME (Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l'Energie) et a pour objectif la réduction du frottement entre chemise et segments via l’introduction de nouveaux revêtements. Notre rôle était de proposer à nos partenaires des matériaux de revêtements de type métal-intermétalliques complexes aux propriétés de frottement optimisées. Dans un premier temps, nous avons élaboré par frittage à l’état solide des matériaux composites Al/(AlCuFeB)p contenant des particules intermétalliques complexes (alliages quasicristallins de structure icosaédrique du système AlCuFeB) renforçant une matrice d’aluminium pur. Cette partie de l’étude consiste à étudier les cinétiques de transformations de phases résultantes de la diffusion de l’aluminium provenant de la matrice vers les particules icosaédriques. Il a été montré que la déstabilisation de la phase icosaédrique peut être évitée par la création d’une barrière de diffusion via un prétraitement d’oxydation des particules AlCuFeB. Ensuite, l’étude par microscopie électronique a permis d’identifier une nouvelle phase approximante de la phase icosaédrique du système AlCuFe. Il s’agit d’une phase orthorhombique qui à notre connaissance est observée ici pour la première fois. Enfin, les propriétés mécaniques et de frottement de ces nouveaux matériaux sont présentées. Les matériaux composites Al/(AlCuFeB)p élaborés ont des propriétés améliorées par rapport à l’aluminium non renforcé. L’évolution des propriétés est influencée par le taux de particules AlCuFeB et leur état d’oxydation initial. Les propriétés sont améliorées lorsque la fraction volumique de particules augmente mais de façon moindre quand les particules AlCuFeB sont fortement oxydées. / The present study was performed in the framework of a project funded by the ADEME agency (French Agency for Environment and Energy Management), aiming at the reduction of friction loss in car engines through the introduction of new tribological coatings. Our task was to propose our partners new coating materials based on metal-intermetallic nano-composites with optimized friction properties. In a first part, we have prepared by solid state sintering new Al-based composite materials reinforced by quasicrystalline icosahedral particles Al/(AlCuFeB)p. The kinetics of phase transformations resulting from the diffusion of Al matrix to the quasicrystalline particles was studied. It was shown that the destabilization of the icosahedral phase can be avoided by the creation of a diffusion barrier via an oxidation pre-treatment of the AlCuFeB particles. In a second part, the results of a structural study of the composites by transmission electron microscopy are presented. We also describe a new approximant of the quasicrystalline AlCuFe icosahedral phase. This phase was identified as an orthorhombic phase which, to our knowledge, is observed here for the first time. Finally, the mechanical and friction properties of the composites are presented. We show that the composite materials have improved properties compared to aluminium and that their evolution is influenced by the volume fraction of AlCuFeB particles and their initial state of oxidation. The best properties are obtained when the volume fraction of the particles is increased, but in a less pronounced manner when the AlCuFeB particles are strongly oxidized.
