Le développement des microbatteries au lithium est freiné par leur coût de production élevé, associé à leur procédé de fabrication par des techniques de dépôt physique en phase vapeur. L’objectif de cette thèse a été de développer de nouveau matériaux et procédés pour diminuer le coût de fabrication des microbatteries au lithium. L’impression jet d’encre est un procédé de fabrication de couches minces rapide, peu onéreux et qui permet un dépôt précis et reproductible. Nous avons donc cherché à élaborer ici des matériaux pour batterie tout-solide au lithium qui soit imprimable. Un électrolyte a été particulièrement développé dans ce but pour qu’il soit imprimable, solidifiable après dépôt et intégrable dans une batterie, c’est-à-dire permettant son bon fonctionnement. Les ionogels apparaissent répondre parfaitement à ce cahier des charges. Ce sont des liquides ioniques (sels fondus à température ambiante) confinés dans une matrice qui leur confère un caractère solide. Ils possèdent de bonnes propriétés de conduction ionique, de bonnes stabilités thermique et électrochimique. Nous avons donc formulé des ionogels par confinement d’un liquide ionique dopé avec un sel de lithium dans une matrice polymère obtenue par la photopolymérisation de monomères dissous dans le liquide ionique. Les propriétés physiques et électrochimiques de ces ionogels ont été étudiées, ainsi que leur compatibilité avec différents matériaux d’électrode dense ou composite poreuse (lithium, LiCoO2, LiFePO4). Des prototypes de microbatteries imprimées pour partie ont été assemblés et cyclés jusqu’à jusqu’à plus de 1000 cycles. / The developpement of lithium microbatteries is hampered by their high production cost, which is due to their manufacturing process by physical vapor deposition techniques. The objective of this thesis was to develop new materials and processes to reduce the manufacturing cost of lithium microbatteries. Inkjet printing is a fast, inexpensive thin-film manufacturing process that allows accurate and reproducible deposition. We have therefore endeavored here to develop materials for a lithium-based all-solid battery that is printable. An electrolyte has been particularly developed for this purpose. It is printable, can be made solid after deposition, and can be integrated into a battery, that is to say it allows its proper functioning. The ionogel appeared to meet this specification perfectly. They are ionic liquids (salts melted at room temperature) confined in a matrix which give them a solid character. They have good ionic conduction properties, good thermal and electrochemical stabilities. We have thus formulated ionogels by confinement of an ionic liquid doped with a lithium salt in polymer matrix obtained by the photopolymerization of monomers dissolved in the ionic liquid. The physical and electrochemical properties of theses ionogels have been studied, as well as their compatibility with different dense or porous composite electrode materials (lithium, , LiCoO2, LiFePO4). Prototypes of microbatteries printed in part have been assembled and cycled for more than 1000 cycles.

The thesis deals about banner advertisement. After brief introduction, theoretical basis describes how did banner advertisement go throughout the timeline, what are the possibilities of banner advertisement, which technologies can be used for proper banner advertisement, how is it measured, etc. In practical part of thesis a global company is introduced and there are analyzed ways how it uses banners in its web presentation. In final part a research is made to point out the importance of various factors effecting the efficiency of banner advertising. In conclusion author summarizes findings and tries to give hints how to use powers of effective advertising in bussinnes.

Considerando as dificuldades envolvidas no processo de moldagem com a moldeira aberta convencional, objetivou-se neste estudo avaliar a precisão da moldagem de transferência de implantes dentais utilizando uma nova moldeira, desenvolvida com o objetivo de facilitar a técnica de moldagem. Foi confeccionado um modelo de referência de uma mandíbula edentada e instalados quatro implantes nas regiões dos elementos 44, 42, 32 e 34, denominados implantes 1, 2, 3 e 4, respectivamente. Sobre este modelo confeccionou-se uma barra de Cr-Co, para análise do desajuste. Foram realizadas 10 moldagens com silicona de adição para cada grupo (controle, moldeira aberta convencional) e teste (nova moldeira, Miratray Implant!) do modelo de referência, e após obtenção do modelo em gesso, a barra metálica foi parafusada somente no implante 1, e medida a fenda gerada na face vestibular dos implantes 3 e 4 por meio de microscópio óptico com aumento de 16x. As imagens foram analisadas por um único operador no tempo inicial e após uma semana por meio do software ImageLab. Os grupos foram comparados pelo teste de Mann-Whitney e Wilcoxon, com nível de significância estabelecido em 5%, pelo software estatístico SPSS. Os resultados mostraram diferença estatística (p = 0,04) ao comparar a média da primeira repetição do implante 3 (teste x controle); ao comparar a primeira repetição com a segunda para o implante 4 apenas no grupo controle; e na comparação dos valores máximos entre os implantes 3 e 4 do grupo controle. Em relação aos valores máximos do implante 3, obteve-se a média de 116 ± 45 m para o grupo controle, e 158 ±17 m para o grupo teste. Já para o implante 4, obteve-se a média de 106 ± 46 m para o grupo controle e 156 ± 22 m para o grupo teste. Considerando que o máximo desajuste permitido seria de 150 m, apenas o grupo controle teria um desajuste considerado aceitável clinicamente para o implante 3, entretanto sem diferença estatística para o implante 4. Como os valores dos grupos teste e controle foram muito próximos, dentro das limitações deste estudo pode-se concluir que a nova moldeira promove uma precisão do sistema barra/implante muito próxima à moldeira aberta convencional. / Considering the difficulties involved in the impression taking process when using the conventional open impression tray, the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of transfer impression of dental implants using a new impression tray developed with the object of facilitating the impression-taking technique. A reference model of an edentulous mandible was fabricated, and four implants were placed in the regions of teeth 44, 42, 32 and 34, denominated implants 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. To analyze misfit, a Cr-Co bar was fabricated on this model. Ten impressions were taken with polyvinyl siloxane for each group (control, conventional open impression tray) and test (new impression tray, Miratray Implant!) from the reference model. After obtaining the plaster model, a metal bar was screw-retained on implant 1 only, and the gap generated at the vestibular face of implants 3 and 4 was measured by optical microcopy at 16x magnification. A single operator analyzed the images at the initial time and after one week, using ImageLab software. Groups were compared by the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests, with level of significance established at 5%, using statistical SPSS software. The results showed statistical difference (p = 0.04) when the mean of the first repetition of implant 3 (test x control) was compared; when the first repetition was compared with the second, for implant 4 only in control group; and in comparison of the maximum values between implants 3 and 4 of control group. As regards maximum values of implant 3, a mean of 116 ± 45 m was obtained for control group, and 158 ±17 m for test group. Whereas, for implant 4, a mean of 106 ± 46 m was obtained for control group and 156 ± 22 m for test group. Considering that the maximum misfit permitted would be 150 m, only control group would have a misfit considered clinically acceptable for implant 3, however, without statistical difference for implant 4. As the test and control group values were very close, within the limitations of this study, it could be concluded that the new impression tray promotes bar/implant system accuracy very close to that of the conventional open impression tray.
