Este trabalho visou o estudo de um compósito híbrido termoplástico, usando polipropileno como matriz polimérica associado a uma micro fibra de sílica amorfa (MFSA) e uma fibra natural originada da madeira, para se testar a viabilidade de sua utilização na área dos materiais de engenharia. Foram testadas várias formulações com diferentes proporções de MFSA e de fibra de madeira, bem como compósitos com e sem agentes de acoplamento, funcionalizados com anidrido maleico. A eficiência desses agentes e as propriedades térmicas, mecânicas e morfológicas das diferentes formulações foram avaliadas por meio de testes de resistência à tração, impacto Izod, dureza Shore D, HDT, Vicat e por calorimetria e microscopia eletrônica de varredura dos compósitos obtidos. Os resultados mostraram que o compósito híbrido de homo polipropileno carregado como micro fibra de sílica amorfa e fibra de madeira, auxiliada com o agente de acoplagem estudado, possui boas propriedades térmicas e mecânicas em relação aos compósitos de polipropileno contendo cargas minerais, utilizados hoje em aplicações automobilísticas. Os resultados obtidos abrem novas possibilidades de estudo e apontam os compósitos híbridos como opções interessantes em aplicações práticas na área automobilística, com seus respectivos testes no produto final, como montabilidade e desempenho do produto em campo. / Abstract: One of the great challenges that we face in this new century of technological advances is the development of new materials that meet the pre-required needs regarding to thermal and mechanical properties of parts and their cost thus, leading to an excellent relationship of cost benefit analysis. This work aimed the study hybrid thermoplastic polypropylene composites, using a polymeric matrix combined with a micro fiber of amorphous silica (MFSA) and a natural fiber origined from wood. In this study different proportions of filled composites as well as composites with and without a coupling agent with maleic anydride functionality were tested. The effectiveness of these agents in the different formulations of the composites obtained was evaluated through mechanical and thermal resistance since the transfer of mechanical efforts of the matrix for the filled depends on the efficiency of the accession interfacial between the two components. The results showed that the hybrid composites of homo polypropylene filled with amorphous silica micro fiber and wood fiber together with coupling agent with maleic functionality, has good thermal and mechanical properties in relation to polypropylene composites filled with mineral reinforcement used today in automobile applications. From the above findings, new opportunities can be opened for study in practical applications in a product for automotive application with their tests at the final product, as assembly and performance of the product on the final application. / Mestrado / Ciencia e Tecnologia de Materiais / Mestre em Engenharia Química

Hybrid composites forms an important field of research in the area of composite science and engineering as it gives the advantage of avoiding complex lay-up designs and provides better tuning compatibility to get desired properties in comparison with their mono-fiber counterpart. Further, utilization of composites for low temperature structures has been hindered by inconsistency of material property data and not much is reported on thermal characteristics of hybrid composites at cryogenic temperatures. This research work is focused on development of carbon-glass epoxy hybrid composite and to study the thermal behavior of these materials in comparison to its mono-fiber counterparts especially at cryogenic temperatures. The objectives are classified into the following three parts: Development of a hybrid composite with urethane modified epoxy matrix system (toughening agent used is Propyltrimethoxysilane (PTMO) and Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) is added to get the polyurethane structure), for cryogenic applications. Study and understand the limitations and complexities of the experimental methodologies involved in evaluating the thermal properties of these materials namely thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion and specific heat. Finally to look into the appropriate theoretical calculations and experimental results to understand the variations, if any, for these materials. Specifically the following contributions are reported in this thesis: Evaluated the modified matrix system for its physical and mechanical properties at 20K. Specimens were prepared with D638 ASTM standard, modified to suit pin loading configuration in the cryostat/Instron machine. After assessing the suitability of the matrix system, mono fibre composites of different types were made and evaluated their thermal properties viz, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and specific heat down to 20K. Based on the results of the above, a hybrid composite configuration was evolved which exhibits optimal thermal characteristics at low temperatures and its characterization for various thermal properties at cryogenic temperatures was carried out. Comparisons of the experimental results were made with macro-mechanical model and micro-mechanical model (rule of mixtures) of composite materials. The present work throws light to the fact that hybrid polymer matrix composites can very well be considered for cryogenic applications where the combination or trade off between properties like strength to conductivity ratio, modulus to conductivity ratio and low cost is to be made. The mechanical properties of hybrid composites also need to be studied to complement the study on thermal properties reported in this thesis. It is essential to have a complete understanding of behaviour of these materials at cryogenic temperatures with respect to both thermal and mechanical properties as it is evident from the available literature that the emerging demands are multi-disciplinary in nature. The present research work is aimed at highlighting the use of hybrid composites to achieve the desirable thermal properties and thereby inviting the attention of scientists and engineers who are engaged in the design of cost effective structures and appliances for cryogenic environments to focus on further research to develop

L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier l’effet de différents types de vieillissement sur le comportement mécanique en traction de matériaux composites à fibres de lin et de verre et hybrides lin-verre. L’effet de plusieurs types de vieillissement a été d’abord analysé dans le cas de matériaux composites stratifiés à fibres de lin. Cette étude a permis de suivre l’absorption d’eau dans ces matériaux, et de déterminer leurs paramètres de diffusion en utilisant les modèles de Fick 1D et 3D. Ces paramètres ont été estimés en utilisant une procédure itérative développée à l’aide du logiciel Matlab. Ensuite, une caractérisation des propriétés élastiques et ultimes, à partir des essais de traction des matériaux composites non vieillis et vieillis a été réalisée. Dans le but de réduire l’absorption d’eau et d’améliorer les propriétés mécaniques des composites à fibres de lin, l'hybridation des renforts sergé lin-verre a été choisie. Après l’analyse du comportement mécanique des différents matériaux, l’identification des mécanismes d’endommagement est ensuite menée en utilisant une méthodologie associant la technique d’émission acoustique (EA) et des observations microscopiques. Les signaux d’EA ont été analysés, en considérant une analyse multivariable avec le Logiciel Noesis. La dernière partie aborde une 1ère étape de la modélisation des propriétés élastiques des composites hybrides lin-verre. A partir d’une décomposition de la cellule de base, l’application de la théorie des stratifiés a permis de déterminer les propriétés élastiques du composite en fonction de ses constituants (fibres et matrice) en tenant compte de la géométrie de l’armure. / The main objective of this work is to study the effect of several ageing processes on the tensile mechanical behaviour of flax-glass fibres non-hybrid and hybrid composite materials. First, the effect of several types of ageing was analysed in the case of flax fibre reinforced composites. This study enabled to determine the diffusion parameters of these materials by using 1D and 3D Fick’s model. For this purpose, an analytical modelling was applied, using optimisation toolbox of Matlab. The second part aims at analysing the tensile mechanical properties of the unaged and aged composite materials. With the aim to improve the mechanical properties as well as the moisture resistance behaviour of flax fibre reinforced composites, hybridation of twill flax-glass fibres was proposed. Next, the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique combined with scanning electron microscopy observations was used to identify the damage events leading to overall failure of the studied composites. The AE signals obtained during mechanical tensile tests were analysed and classified using a non-supervised method with Noesis Software. The last part is devoted to the first step in determining the elastic behaviour of flax-glass hybrid composites. By discretizing the unit-cell of the composite, the use of the classical thin laminate theory made it possible to determine the elastic properties of the composite, considering constituents (resin and fibres) and microstructure geometry.

As alternative to introduce composites materials that have least environmentally impact natural fibers have drawn attention of researchers. In this work the aim is to manufacture by vacuum infusion process, composite laminates hybrid adding woven jute fiber in structural weaving fiberglass with epoxy resin matrix. The quality of laminate was analyzed by fiber weight fraction determining and thermal analysis by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis). It was possible to manufacture hybrids laminates by vacuum infusion with fiber fraction in about 60%. Hybrids laminates presented had a reduction of density of 20% with relation to the glass reinforced plastic. Regarding to mechanical properties, the laminates were characterized by tensile, compression and ILSS testing. With respect to hybrid laminates, the better results of tensile properties such as strength and young's modulus was achieved by the laminates with fiber oriented in 0/90° (H0/90) with maximum strength value near to 200 MPa, while for orientation ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) the strength results were 68 MPa and 84 MPa, respectively. In this case can be highlighted the hybrid laminate H45, whose tensile strength (83,9 MPa) has not present significant changes with the introduction of jute fiber (with increase of 60% its thickness) compared with glass reinforced plastic (84,5 MPa) for the same fiber orientation. For compressive strength the best result was presented by the laminates H0/90 (fibers in 0/90°) as well, with values close to 150 MPa while the laminates to ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) presented values of 90 MPa. Regarding to ILSS the variation of strength was smaller, 25 MPa to direction 0/90° and 23 MPa and 21 MPa to H45 and H45//0/90 laminates, respectively. Therefore, mechanical properties were significantly influenced by plies orientation in the laminates and by the hybridization with jute fibers. / Nos últimos anos, devido ao crescente consumo de compósitos de fibras sintéticas com matriz termorrígida, várias alternativas têm sido buscadas a fim de minimizar os impactos gerados tanto pelo descarte desse material ao fim de sua vida útil, quanto pela grande dependência de derivados de recursos não renováveis, como o petróleo para a produção das matérias-primas. Como uma das alternativas de introduzir na área de compósitos, materiais que tenham menores impactos ambientais, as fibras naturais têm recebido atenção de pesquisadores. Assim, neste trabalho foram moldados pelo processo de infusão à vácuo, compósitos de laminados híbridos através da utilização de tecidos de fibras de juta e tecidos estruturais de fibras de vidro com matriz de resina epóxi. A qualidade dos laminados foi analisada por meio da determinação da fração mássica de fibra e por análise térmica de DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) e DMTA (Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis. Foi possível moldar laminados híbridos pelo processo de infusão com fração de fibra em cerca de 60%. Os laminados híbridos apresentaram uma redução na densidade de 20% em relação aos compósitos contendo somente fibras de vidro. Em relação às propriedades mecânicas, os compósitos laminados foram caracterizados através dos ensaios de tração, compressão e cisalhamento interlaminar (ILSS). Entre os laminados híbridos, os melhores resultados de propriedades de tração, como resistência e módulo de elasticidade foram alcançados pelos laminados com ambas as fibras orientadas a 0/90° (H0/90), com valor de tensão máxima próximo a 200 MPa, enquanto que para as orientações ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) os valores foram próximos de 68 e 84 MPa, respectivamente. No caso, pode ser destacado o laminado híbrido H45, cuja resistência a tração (83,9 MPa) não apresentou mudanças significativas com a introdução das fibras de juta (com acréscimo de 60% na espessura) quando comparado ao laminado de fibras de vidro (84,5 MPa) com mesma orientação. A melhor resistência à compressão também foi apresentada pelos laminados orientados a 0/90° (H0/90) com valores próximos a 150 MPa, enquanto os laminados a ±45° (H45 e H45/0/90) apresentaram os valores de 90 MPa. Em relação à resistência ao cisalhamento interlaminar, entre os laminados híbridos, a variação entre as orientações foi menor, 25 MPa para a direção 0/90° e, 23MPa e 21MPa para os laminados H45 e H45//0/90, respectivamente. Assim, as propriedades mecânicas foram influenciadas significativamente pela orientação das v camadas nos laminados e pela introdução das fibras de juta. Desta forma, conclui-se que a significativa redução de algumas propriedades possivelmente invalida a utilização das configurações híbridas estudadas para aplicações estruturais nas pás eólicas. No entanto, as configurações de laminados híbridos, desenvolvidas e analisadas neste trabalho podem ser aplicadas para moldar componentes em compósitos para peças não estruturais ou com menores requisitos de resistência, como para o segmento automotivo, e ainda com possibilidades de melhorias.

However, problems related to poor performance of some mechanical natural fibers, have hindered its direct use in structural elements. In this sense, the emergence of alternative materials such as hybrids composites, involving natural and synthetic fibers, has been encouraged by seeking to improve the performance of structural composites based only on natural fibers. The differences between the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of these fibers, especially facing the adverse environmental conditions such as the presence of moisture and ultraviolet radiation, is also becoming a concern in the final response of these composites. This piece of research presents a comparative study of the strength and stiffness between two composite, both of ortoftalic polyester matrix, one reinforced with fibers of glass-E (CV) and other hybrid reinforced with natural fibers of curau? and fiberglass-E (CH). All the comparative study is based on the influence of exposure to UV rays and steam heated water in composites, simulating the aging environment. The conditions for the tests are accelerated through the use of the aging chamber. The composites will be evaluated through tests of uniaxial static mechanical traction and bending on three points. The composite of glass fiber and hybrid manufacturing industry are using the rolling manual (hand lay-up) and have been developed in the form of composites. All were designed to meet possible structural applications such as tanks and pipes. The reinforcements used in composites were in the forms of short fiber glass-E quilts (450g/m2 - 5cm) of continuous wires and fuses (whose title was of 0.9 dtex) for the curau? fibers. The results clearly show the influence of aging on the environmental mechanical performance of the composite CV and CH.

Hybrid composites play a key role in sustainable development. For many years, carbon fibres in an epoxy matrix have been an attractive option for many structural applications because of their higher specific mechanical properties mostly. However, recycling and sustainability are some of the composite shortcomings; and in that context, natural fibres have gained popularity.  The present study aimed to design and manufacture short carbon/flax hybrid composites. Two different arrangements were chosen: random and layers configuration. Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) was used to fabricate these hybrid composites. Mechanical tests and optical microscopy technique were conducted to understand the effect of the interaction of these two different reinforcements. Mechanical tests showed a remarkable difference between the hybrid configurations under flexural loadings. Furthermore, outstanding property values were observed in the hybrid configurations compared to single fibre composites. The resultant materials have seemed an attractive combination of fibres with a remarkable balance between mechanical performance and eco-friendliness.

Organic hybrid composites based on carboxylated nitrile rubber and nylon-12 reinforced with mercerized and diisocyanated lignocellulose residue (LCR) was prepared. The influence of the LCR on the viscoelastic properties of these organic hybrids was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis and thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)). It is found that either the position of the damping peak was shifted to higher values or the intensity of the damping peak was significantly increased with LCR. These results could imply that the LCR enhanced the damping properties of the composites. The thermal stability of the composites was evaluated with the mean values obtained using thermogravimetrical analysis. The decomposition rate was investigated using differential thermal gravimetry. The crystallization behavior of the prepared composites was checked by DSC.

This work, conceived as a second step in the development of high-performance damping materials suitable for seismic application, describes the preparation and characterization of complex natural rubber-based composites containing hybrid nano- and conventional fillers. The cluster–cluster aggregation model was used to assess the apparent filler networking energy. The values obtained suggested that the presence of the hybrid nanofiller strengthens the filler networking. The same model was used to understand the mechanisms of energy dissipation. The damping coefficient was found to be in the sought range between 10% and 20% (at 0.5 Hz and high shear strain).

Die im Forschungsprojekt MAI Skelett erarbeitete Skelettbauweise konnte das Potential endlos, kohlenstofffaserverstärkter Thermoplastprofile aufzeigen. Um das gesamte wirtschaftliche Potential dieser Hybridbauweise nutzten zu können, bedarf es der weitergehenden Analyse des parallelen Einsatzes unterschiedlicher Verstärkungsfasern. In dieser Arbeit wird das Verhalten von Kohlenstofffaser-, Glasfaser- und deren Hybridprofilen mit einem Querschnitt von exemplarisch 10 mm x 10 mm unter den Hauptbelastungsarten betrachtet. Hierfür werden die Profile mechanisch charakterisiert und die Übertragbarkeit der Eigenschaften auf reale Bauteile am Beispiel des Windlaufs einer Fahrzeugkarosserie simulativ und experimentell überprüft. Zudem wird eine Materialauswahl, unter Nutzung von Optimierungsalgorithmen, in den Auslegungsworkflow der Skelettbauweise integriert. Diese werden zur Minimierung der Materialkosten bei Einhaltung der mechanischen Randbedingungen genutzt.:1 Einleitung und Motivation 2 Stand der Technik und Wissenschaft 3 Zielsetzung und Vorgehensweise 4 Betrachtete Materialien 5 Charakterisierung endlosfaserverstärkter Thermoplastprofile 6 Bauteilauswahl und -optimierung 7 Experimentelle Validierung der Optimierung am Beispiel des Windlaufs 8 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick / The so called „Skeleton Design“ was developed within the research project MAI Skelett. It showed the potential of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials. In order to exploit the total economic potential of this hybrid design, the parallel usage of different reinforcement fibers must be investigated. In this thesis the mechanical behavior of carbon, glass and hybrid fiber reinforced profiles with a cross-section of exemplary 10 mm x 10 mm under the main loading conditions are examined. These mechanical properties are investigated regarding their potential to be transferred to real parts using experimental testing and simulation. In order to identify suitable parts within the automotive body in white structure a valuation method is developed for objective selection of expedient parts using the load exposure and function of the single part within the whole body in white structure. Furthermore, a material selection method is integrated into the design process of parts in „Skeleton Design“. Therefore, optimization algorithms are used in order to minimize the material costs under mechanical boundary conditions.:1 Einleitung und Motivation 2 Stand der Technik und Wissenschaft 3 Zielsetzung und Vorgehensweise 4 Betrachtete Materialien 5 Charakterisierung endlosfaserverstärkter Thermoplastprofile 6 Bauteilauswahl und -optimierung 7 Experimentelle Validierung der Optimierung am Beispiel des Windlaufs 8 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick
