Porém, por ser este um elemento tóxico, vários estudos visando a substituição do procedimento de cromatização vêm sendo realizados. As resinas de polissiloxanos e materiais híbridos organo-inorgânicos preparados pelo processo sol-gel, podem vir a ser um excelente substituinte ao processo de cromatização. Neste trabalho, filmes híbridos organo-inorgânico e filmes de silicone foram aplicados em aço galvanizado e em camadas de Zn-Fe. Os revestimentos foram então avaliados através de Espectroscopia de Impedância Eletroquímica. Os dados obtidos pela Espectroscopia foram modelados através de um circuito equivalente, permitindo a obtenção dos parâmetros eletroquímicos para os sistemas avaliados. Além disso, o potencial em circuito aberto, para os diferentes sistemas, foi monitorado durante processo de desgaste em sistema pino-disco em solução de NaCI 3%. Os revestimentos foram comparados em termos de resistência à corrosão e coeficiente de fricção. Os resultados mostram um bom desempenho para os revestimentos como protetores de corrosão e o comportamento destes mostraram-se dependente do tipo de revestimento metálico que foi aplicado no aço / Abstract: Chromating pre-treatments have been widely used to improve galvanized steel corrosion resistance. However, due to the high toxicity of chromate ions, chromatation pre-treatments tend to be banned and, in last years, alternative coating systems are under investigation. Recently, polysiloxanes and hybrids materiais by the sol-gel process have been extensively investigated. These materiais may be considered as promising substitutes for chromatation pre-treatments. In this work organic-inorganic hybrid materiais and silicone films have been prepared and applied on galvanized steel and on steeJ electroplated with a Zn-Fe alloy. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was used as a technique for the evaluation of the corrosion mechanisms of the coating systems and the EIS data was fitted to an equivalent circuit from which the electrochemical parameters were obtained. Additionally, the evolution of open circuit potential, for samples, was monitored during alternative reciprocating sliding against an alumina pin in a 3% NaCl solution. The behaviour of the coatings has been compared in terms of corrosion potential and friction coefficient. Results show the protective character of the hybrid films and silicon resin films, when compared with uncovered specimens. The overall performance of the coating systems appears to be highly dependent on the type of metallic coating applied to the steel / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

For the last 10 years, silicone-based admixtures have been successfully used for bulk waterproofing treatment of cementitious materials. However, a reduction in mechanical properties of treated materials is rather observed and becomes a major problem for the in-situ application. A new concept of a knowledge-based integral water repellent has been designed in such a way that the negative effect on mechanical properties is significantly reduced. The technology comprises the delayed release of the hydrophobic agent (silicone resin) which is achieved by encapsulation of the resin in SiO2 shell. A multidisciplinary research was conducted in order to propose a model of the delayed release and the silica shell reaction mechanism in cement paste. Therefore, a study on the microcapsules reaction in calcium hydroxide solution was conducted by means of FTIR, DSC-TGA, surface tension measurements and chemical analysis by ICP-OES. It was shown that microcapsules flocculate in presence of Ca2+, what appears to be the main factor that contribute to the delayed release of the resin.The influence of the microcapsules on Ordinary Portland (OPC) and Blast furnace slag (BFS) cement hydration process was compared with the emulsion of silane monomer and silicone resin. It was shown that the emulsion delays the setting and influences the early age hydration by prolonging the dormant period and decreasing the hydration heat. Cement microstructure and hydration products development was observed by SEM/ESEM. Quantitative analysis of hydration products was assessed by Rietveld analysis of XRD diffractograms. Emulsion induced a significant delay in the cement paste setting by changing the amount and morphology of ettringite and portlandite at very early age. Differently, microcapsules didn’t show any effect on these properties. Experimental work on relevant mortars is done in order to prove the concept of a delayed release as a solution towards the decrease in mechanical properties. The influence of the new additive on setting, volume change, dynamic E-modulus and the compressive strength was analysed. New analytical techniques (AutoShrink, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and ConSensor) in combination with traditional ones (Penetration resistance test and compressive strength on cubes) were used. Microcapsules have successfully lowered the negative impact of silanes on the compressive strength and dynamic Young’s modulus. Moreover, it was showed that the microcapsules slightly influence autogenous deformation by increasing the shrinkage of mortars.Microencapsulation of the silicone resin proved to be a promising solution for the bulk hydrophobic treatment of cementitious materials with no-influence on cement hydration. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
