O tratamento térmico em compósitos restauradores diretos foi realizado a fim de verificar a influência sobre algumas propriedades, tais como a sorção, solubilidade, tenacidade à fratura e grau de conversão. Foram utilizados três compósitos: um nanoparticulado, um microhíbrido e um microparticulado. Duas fontes de luz (Halógena e LED) e dois períodos (48h e 28dias) de armazenagem, com exceção da solubilidade. O tratamento térmico foi realizado em estufa convencional (170o C por 5min), sendo metade dos corpos de prova (cps) tratados e a outra, apenas fotoativada.Para sorção e solubilidade, foram confeccionados 60 cps de acordo com os fatores analisados (n=5) em uma matriz metálica circular de dimensões 15 mm x1 mm. Para o cálculo da sorção e solubilidade, os cps foram pesados em uma Balança Analítica,inicialmente após a confecção do cp, 1hora, 24h, 48h, 7d, 14, 21 e 28d, a fim de estabelecer Massa Inicial (Mi) Massa absorvida (Ma) e Massa dessecada (Md). Para a tenacidade à fratura, foram confeccionados 240 cps de acordo com os fatores analisados (n=10) em uma matriz metálica de dimensões internas 25 mm x 5mm x 2,8 mm. O método utilizado foi o Single Edge Notch-Beam(SENB), com um entalhe de 2,3 mm posicionado no centro da matriz. Os cps eram levados à máquina universal para o ensaio de flexão e, após a ruptura, as superfícies de fratura eram analisadas no estereomicroscópio, para, em seguida, obter as imagens e calcular as dimensões do cps para inserir naequação da tenacidade à fratura.Já para o grau de conversão foram confeccionados 36 cps em uma matriz de acetato circular de 15 mm x 1 mm, posicionados entre duas lâminas microscópicas (n=3). O cálculo do grau de conversão foi determinado por espectroscopia no infravermelho (FTIR).Em geral, os estudos apresentaram uma influência significante do tratamento térmico, Dos resultados para a sorção o compósito, em geral, diminuiu,comparado aos grupos somente fotoativados em ambos os períodos. Entre as interações analisadas (Fonte de Luz X Período) foi significante para todos os grupos. Para a solubilidade a interação (Fonte de luz X Tratamento térmico foi significante para todos os grupos. Quanto à tenacidade à fratura, apenas o fator tratamento foi significante para os compósitos nanoparticulado e microhíbrido. Já para os microparticulados, houve influência dos fatores principais e dasinterações(Fonte de Luz X Período) e Fonte de Luz X Tratamento Térmico). De maneira geral, houve um aumento dos valores de tenacidade para todos os grupos. Já para o grau de conversão, houve um aumento significativo com relação ao tratamento e os períodos analisados dos compósitos. O tratamento térmico, em geral, influenciou positivamente as propriedades estudadas. Sendo assim, a opção de realizar o tratamento térmico nos compósitos de acordo com as propriedades e fatores analisados, torna a técnica passível de ser recomendada. / The post-curing heat treatment in direct composite treatment was done to verify the influence on some properties like sorption, solubility, fracture toughness and the degree of conversion. During the referred study it was used three composites: nanoparticle, a microhybrid and a microfill. Two sources of light (Halogen and LED) and two periods (48 hours and 28 days) for each one, but not to solubility. The postcuringwas done in dry heat sterilizer of 170º C for five minutes for, half of the test samples (TS) were treated and the other half were only photoactivated. It was made 60 TS to sorption and solubility according to the analyzed factors (n=5) in a 15mm x 1mm round metal matrix. To calculate sorption and solubility the TS were weighted in a analytical balance, right after the beginning of the production in 1 hour, 24 hours, 7days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days respectively in order to establish the initial absorbed mass (Mi), the absorbed mass (Ma) and the desiccated mass (Md ). It was produced 240 TS to the fracture toughness according to factors (n=10) in a 25mm x 5mm x 2,8mm in metallic matrix. The Single Edge Notch-Beam (SENB), was the used method during this study with a notch of 2,3mm placed in the center of the matrix. The TS were taken to a universal machine to flexural test so after the rupture referred surface fractures were analyzed in a stereomicroscope and then it was possible to get the images to calculate the size of the TS to insert the calculus of the fracture toughness. To degree conversion were made 36 TS in a 15mm x 1mm circular acetate matrix placed between two microscopes slides (n=3). The degree conversion was determined a infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In general the study showed a significant influence in relation post-curing heat treatment. In both periods the sorption of the composites have decreased in general comparison to the photoactivated only. The interactions(light source versus period) was significant for all groups. To solubility the interaction (light source versus post-curing heat treatment) was significant for all groups. In reference to fracture toughnessonly post curing heat treatment factor was significant to the nanoparticle and microhybrid composites. In other hand the microfill composite were influenced by the main factors and by the interactions (light source X periods) and (llght source X heat cured). In general there was an increase of the fracture toughness value in all groups. In relation to the degree conversion there was an increase significant of the composite during heat cured and analyzed periods. The post-curing heat treatment influenced all the studied properties of the direct composite in a positive way. Therefore the option of doing the heat cured treatment in the composites according to the properties and the analyzed factor is technically possible to be done.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pre-heating and post-curing autoclave and microwave in flexural strength (FS), diametral tensile strength (DTS), knoop microhardness (KHN) and degree of conversion (DC) of a experimental fiber- reinfoced composite. The experimental material was prepared with 30% glass fibers (3 mm), 22.5% of the resin matrix (40/60 Bis-GMA / TEGDMA) and 47.5% barium silicate particles. Six experimental groups were created by the interaction between the factors under study: heating, on two levels (without heating and heating at 60°C) and post-curing in 3 levels (conventional curing without post-curing, autoclave (120°C for 15 minutes) and microwaves (540 W for 5 minutes) The groups were: F - curing at 1500 mW/cm2 for 40 seconds; F + M - curing and post- polymerization in microwave; F + A - curing and post-curing in an autoclave , AQ + F - the composite heating prior to curing, AQ + F + M - heating prior to curing and post-curing in microwave;. AQ + F + A - heating prior to curing and post-curing and autoclave heating was conducted digital oven for 5 minutes at 60°C. Ten samples of the RF dimensions 25 x 2 x 2 mm and DTS in dimensions of 3 x 6 mm were tested in a universal testing machine Instron 5965, 0.5 mm/min. the KHN test was performed on samples of 3 x 6 mm with a load of 50 g for 30 sec, totaling 50 indentations per group. GC was obtained by Spectroscopy Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) on 5 samples. Data were analyzed by a factorial 2x3 and general linear model ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). Factor analysis showed significant interaction between the factors just for RTD (p = 0.0001); preheating was significant factor for RF (p = 0.0001), RTD (p = 0.020) and KHN (p = 0.0001); post-curing factor for KHN was significant (p = 0.0001). ANOVA and Tukey tests showed statistically significant differences between groups for DTS (p = 0.001: AQ + F ≥ AQ + F + M = F + A = AQ + F + A = F + M ≥ F), FS (p = 0.016: AQ + F + M ≥ AQ + F + A + F = AQ = AQ + A + M ≥ F ≥ F) and KHN (p = 0.0001: AQ + F + M ≥ AQ + A + F = F = F + A + M ≥ F ≥ M + AQ). GC results showed no statistically significant difference. Through the Pearson correlation coefficient was observed significant positive correlation between the GC and RTD (r = 0.473, p = 0.008) and between DTS and FS (r = 0.263, p = 0.042). The pre-heating and post- polymerization were shown to be favorable to promote better mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composite by studied, specific for each property being analyzed. / O aquecimento prévio à polimerização e a pós-polimerização podem melhorar propriedades mecânicas em compósitos, embora inexistam estudos em compósitos reforçados com fibra. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito do pré- aquecimento e da pós-polimerização em autoclave e microondas na resistência flexural (RF), resistência à tração diametral (RTD), microdureza knoop (KHN) e grau de conversão (GC) de um compósito experimental reforçado por fibra de vidro. O material experimental foi confeccionado com 30% de fibras de vidro (3 mm), 22,5% de matriz resinosa (40/60 Bis-GMA/TEGDMA) e 47,5% de partículas de silicato de bário. Seis grupos experimentais foram criados pela interação entre os fatores em estudo: aquecimento, em dois níveis (controle sem aquecimento e aquecimento a 60oC) e pós-polimerização, em 3 níveis (fotopolimerização convencional sem pós- polimerização, autoclave (120oC por 15 minutos) e microondas (540 W por 5 minutos). Os grupos foram: F - fotopolimerização à 1500 mW/cm2 por 40 segundos; F+M - fotopolimerização e pós- polimerização em microondas; F+A - fotopolimerizacão e pós-polimerização em autoclave; AQ+F - aquecimento do compósito previamente à fotopolimerização; AQ+F+M - aquecimento previamente à fotopolimerização e pós-polimerização em microondas; AQ+F+A - aquecimento previamente à fotopolimerização e pós-polimerização e autoclave. O aquecimento foi realizado em estufa digital por 5 minutos a 60oC. Dez amostras de RF nas dimensões de 25 x 2 x 2 mm e de RTD nas dimensões de 3 x 6 mm foram testadas em máquina de ensaio universal Instron 5965, a 0,5mm/min. O teste de KHN foi realizado em amostras de 3 x 6 mm com carga de 50 g por 30 s, totalizando 50 indentações por grupo. O GC foi obtido através de Espectroscopia de Infravermelho por Transformada de Fourrier (FTIR) em cinco amostras. Os dados foram analisados por um modelo linear geral fatorial 2x3 e testes de ANOVA e Tukey (α=0,05). A análise fatorial mostrou interação significativa entre os fatores apenas para RTD (p=0,0001); o fator pré-aquecimento foi significante para RF (p=0,0001), RTD (p=0,020) e KHN (p=0,0001); o fator pós-polimerização foi significante para KHN (p=0,0001). Os testes de ANOVA e Tukey mostraram diferença estatística entre os grupos para RTD (p = 0,001: AQ+F ≥ AQ+F+M = F+A = AQ+F+A = F+M ≥ F), RF (p = 0,016: AQ+F+M ≥ AQ+F+A = AQ+F = AQ+A ≥ F+M ≥ F) e KHN (p = 0,0001: AQ+F+M ≥ AQ+F+A = F+A= F+M ≥ AQ+F ≥ F). Os resultados de GC não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante. Através do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson foi possível observar correlação positiva significante entre o GC e RTD (r = 0,473, p = 0,008) e entre RTD e RF (r = 0,263, p = 0,042) . O pré- aquecimento e a pós-polimerização mostraram-se favoráveis para promover melhores propriedades mecânicas do compósito reforçado por fibra estudado, sendo específicos para cada propriedade analisada.

Werkstoffe auf Basis duroplastischer Harze besitzen exzellente Gebrauchseigenschaften für viele Bereiche des industriellen Einsatzes. Vor allem durch die Spritzgießverarbeitung rieselfähiger duroplastischer Formmassen entsteht ein hohes Substitutionspotential gegenüber Bauteilen aus Metallen oder Hochleistungsthermoplasten. Jedoch führen bestehende Erkenntnisdefizite im Prozessverständnis zu Ressentiments hinsichtlich des Einsatzes duroplastischer Werkstoffe. Ziel der Untersuchungen dieser Arbeit war die Ermittlung und Analyse der prozessinduzierten Werkstoffstruktur von spritzgegossenen technischen Phenolharzformteilen. Dabei wurden zum einen das Füllen der Werkzeugkavität und die sich ausbildende Faserorientierung untersucht und zum anderen die sich während des Temperns verändernde chemische Struktur. Anhand von Platten- sowie Zugprüfkörpern wurden sowohl beim Spritzgießen als auch beim Tempern Parametervariationen durchgeführt und die jeweils resultierende Werkstoffstruktur sowie deren Einfluss auf die Formteileigenschaften analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Strömungsverhältnisse während der Werkzeugfüllung stark von den Prozessparametern und der Werkstoffzusammensetzung abhängig sind. Dadurch wird auch die Faserorientierung beeinflusst, sodass im Formteil lokal und richtungsabhängig stark unterschiedliche Eigenschaften entstehen können. Darüber hinaus konnte anhand einer alternativen Tempermethode geklärt werden, warum es beim Tempern zu einem Abfall der mechanischen Eigenschaften kommt und eine Möglichkeit zur Vermeidung gegeben werden. / Because of their excellent properties, thermosets can be applied in a bright range of industrial applications. Especially thermoset molding compounds can be processed highly effective by injection molding, which enables them to substitute metals or high performance thermoplastics. But there is a deficit in process understanding, which limits the industrial application. The objective of this work is the investigation and analysis of the process induced material structure of injection molded technical phenolic components. Therefor the filling of the cavity with the resulting fiber orientation and the chemical processes during post-curing were examined. A parameter variation with injection molded plate and tensile specimens were done and the resulting material structure and the effect on the component properties were analyzed. The results show a big influence of the process parameter and the material on the flow condition during the filling of the cavity. Thereby also the fiber orientation is affected. This leads to process-depending local and direction-depending properties. In addition, this work shows an alternative method for post-curing to avoid the decrease of mechanical properties.

Spritzgießbare Duroplaste zeichnen sich durch hohe thermo-mechanische Beständigkeit, geringe Schwindung und niedrige Materialkosten aus. Damit können die Anforderungen an spritzgegossene Präzisionsbauteile für den Automobilbau erreicht werden. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit werden unterschiedliche Novolak-Phenolformmassen hinsichtlich ihres hygroskopischen Verhaltens und dessen Auswirkung auf die Spritzgießverarbeitung und die Bauteilqualität untersucht. Das Absorptionsverhalten kann mithilfe der Fick’schen Diffusionsgesetzte näherungsweise beschrieben werden. Auf Basis von mechanischen Untersuchungen sowie der Beurteilung der Maßhaltigkeit eines Präzisionsdemonstrators hinsichtlich Schwindung und Verzug wird zudem der Einfluss der Prozessparameter beim Spritzgießen bestimmt. Die vorgestellten Untersuchungen zeigen die Grenzen der Verarbeitung und der realisierbaren Bauteilqualität auf, die auf die großserientaugliche Verarbeitung von duroplastischen Bauteilen übertragen werden können. / Injection moldable thermosetting materials show excellent material properties, e.g. high thermo-mechanical resistance and reduced shrinkage in combination with low material cost. Thus, technical requirements for high performance parts for automotive applications can be achieved. In the scope of this work different phenolic novolac compounds were investigated regarding their hygroscopic behavior with its influence for injection molding and product quality. The absorption can be approximately described by Fick’s-Diffusion-Model. The interrelationship of injection molding parameters and the thermo-mechanical behavior is examined on the basis of mechanical testing and the assessment of the dimensional accuracy for a thermoset high precision part. The presented investigations point to the limit of processing and realizable part quality which can be transferred for high performance parts molded in mass production.

Les matériaux composites organiques pour garniture de frein à friction sont le fruit d’une élaboration complexe, composée d’une succession d’étapes (mélange de constituants, préformage à froid, moulage à chaud, post-cuisson) ce qui rend difficile la maitrise du lien entre procédé, propriétés et comportement de ces matériaux en particulier du fait des synergies entre les constituants formant le mélange d’une part, et entre la composition et le procédé de fabrication d’autre part. Les travaux de thèse se sont focalisés sur deux étapes de fabrication, le moulage à chaud et la post cuisson, avec l’objectif de mieux comprendre l’influence de certains paramètres du procédé de fabrication sur les performances des matériaux : la température et la durée de moulage à chaud, la durée de post cuisson. L’analyse a porté sur la compréhension des liens entre la microstructure, les propriétés, le comportement tribologique et les mécanismes de frottement et d’usure, par le biais d’une démarche expérimentale fondée sur des formulations matériaux simplifiées ainsi que sur des essais d’usure élémentaires, spécifiques aux sollicitations de freinage / Organic composite friction materials for brake lining result from a complex elaboration made up of successive stages (mixture of constituents, cold preforming, hot molding, post-curing) that makes difficult the mastery of the link between process, properties and behaviour of friction material, especially because of synergies between constituents on one hand, and between composition and manufacturing process on the other hand. Two manufacturing stages were involved in this study, the hot molding and the post-curing, with the aim of a better understanding of the influence of certain parameters of the manufacturing process: the temperature and the duration of hot molding, and the duration of post curing. The analysis has focused on the understanding the relationship between microstructure, properties, tribological behaviour and friction and wear mechanisms of materials.The experimental approach was based on the development of simplified formulations of friction material, and on an elementary wear test specifically designed for braking loadings
