Today, structural adhesives are found extensively in load-bearing engineering applications, as their use can be advantageous compared to other fastening methods. However, the characteristics of adhesives are far more complex, making it challenging to predict their behavior in different service conditions. In addition, environmental factors like temperature and water can affect the performance of an adhesive bond both physically and chemically. This work was initiated by MuoviTech AB and aims to evaluate the performance of structural methyl methacrylate adhesives cured in different environmental conditions. The study began with a literature review to find relevant research and literature about structural adhesives, their material characteristics, and the effects of temperature and water on the performance of adhesive bonds. A market survey was conducted to find products suitable for the experiment, and Araldite 2050, Araldite 2051, Permabond TA4200, 3M DP8810NS, LoctiteHY 4070, and Acralock SA 10-05 were selected together with MuoviTech AB. The laboratory work began with sample preparation in terms of abrasion and cleaning of the surface. The adhesives were applied to the samples, and single-lap joints were prepared and cured in room temperature and normal humidity, as well at 5 °C and underwater, for 24 hours. Single-lap shear tests were performed according to American standard ASTM D3163. Lastly, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was utilized for the thermal analysis of the samples cured at 5 °C and underwater. The results showed that neither of the adhesives performed in the range specified in the manufacturers’ technical data sheets (TDS). Lower failure strength and elongation was observed for the samples cured at 5 °C and underwater, compared to the samples cured in the optimal condition. However, Loctite HY 4070 showed an increase in failure strength. The DSC analysis revealed various degrees of post-curing. Further investigation with prolonged curing time and more environmental conditions are recommended. New tests for Loctite HY 4070 is also recommended to confirm the results. / Idag finns strukturella lim i stor utsträckning i bärande tekniska applikationer, eftersom deras användning kan vara fördelaktig jämfört med andra fästmetoder. Limmens egenskaper är dock mycket mer komplexa, vilket gör det svårt att förutsäga deras beteende under olika serviceförhållanden. Dessutom kan miljöfaktorer som temperatur och vatten påverka en limbindnings prestanda både fysiskt och kemiskt. Detta arbete initierades av MuoviTech AB och syftar till att utvärdera prestanda för strukturella metylmetakrylatlim härdade under olika miljöförhållanden. Studien inleddes med en litteraturöversikt för att hitta relevant forskning och litteratur om strukturella lim, deras materialegenskaper och effekterna av temperatur och vatten på limförbandens prestanda. En marknadsundersökning genomfördes för att hitta produkter som var lämpliga för experimentet, och Araldite 2050, Araldite 2051, Permabond TA4200, 3MDP8810NS, Loctite HY 4070 och Acralock SA 10-05 valdes tillsammans med MuoviTech AB. Arbetet i laboratoriet inleddes med provförberedelse genom slipning och rengöring av provens yta. Lim applicerades på proverna och förband med enkla överlapp (single-lap) bereddes och härdades i rumstemperatur och normal fuktighet, liksom vid 5 ° C och under vatten, under 24 timmar. Skjuvtester utfördes enligt den amerikanska standarden ASTM D3163. Slutligen användes differentiell svepkalorimetri (DSC) för termisk analys av proverna som härdades vid 5 ° C och under vatten. Resultaten visade att inget av limmen presterade i enlighet med det som beskrevs i tillverkarnas tekniska datablad (TDS). Däremot så observerades en lägre brottstyrka och töjning för proverna som härdades vid 5 ° C och under vatten, jämfört med de prover som härdades i det optimala tillståndet. Loctite HY 4070 visade emellertid en ökning av brottstyrka. DSC-analysen gav indikation på att olika grader av efterhärdning. Ytterligare undersökningar med längre härdningstid och med flera miljöförhållanden rekommenderas. Nya tester för Loctite HY 4070 rekommenderas också för att bekräfta resultaten.

This dissertation research addresses the interrelationships between chemistry and network structure in epoxy networks as well as how mechanical properties of the resulting networks are affected by these relationships. The effects of chemistry and network structure on interphase morphology and performance in vinyl ester/carbon fiber composites have also been investigated on both a macro and nanoscale. Thermosets were prepared with blends of bisphenol-A and novel phosphine oxide based diepoxide oligomers using a siloxane or a novolac crosslinking agent. In the siloxane cured networks the incorporation of the phosphine oxide group yielded networks with increased glass transition temperatures, from 71°C to 92°C, and water absorption, from 1 wt % to 5.5 wt %, due to the polar nature of the phosphine oxide bond. Higher char yields were also observed with the addition of the phosphorus, 27 wt % compared to 11 wt % for bisphenol-A epoxy networks. The bisphenol-A based epoxy/siloxane network was exceptionally ductile with a fracture toughness (K1c) of 2 MPa-m1/2. In networks prepared with the novolac crosslinking agent hydrogen bonding, observed using FTIR, was evident even at temperatures above the network Tg and resulted in increased rubbery moduli with phosphine oxide incorporation. Adhesive strengths to steel increased from ~9.7 MPa with bisphenol-A epoxy to ~13.8 MPa when the phosphine oxide containing epoxy was incorporated into the network. Within carbon fiber/vinyl ester composites, a series of tough ductile thermoplastics and a series of one-phase polyurethanes were investigated as carbon fiber sizings. The three poly(hydroxyether)s resulted in different interphase morphologies due to their respective interdiffusion into the vinyl ester resin. The unmodified poly(hydroxyether) was miscible with the vinyl ester resin at the elevated cure temperatures and adhesion between the fiber and bulk matrix was increased from 28 MPa with unsized fibers to 45 MPa with sized fibers. The carboxylate modified poly(hydroxyether) was also miscible at elevated temperatures, however the interdiffused region was narrower, ~5 mm. This system showed an increase in the fiber/matrix adhesion similar to that found for the unmodified poly(hydroxyether)/vinyl ester system and composite cyclic fatigue durability was improved by ~50 %. Using a poly(hydroxyether ethanolamine) interphase material, which was not miscible with the resin, resulted in a sharp interface. While the adhesion was not improved through the use of this sizing, the composite fatigue durability was still increased by a moderate amount, ~ 25%. The one-phase polyurethanes were dispersible in water with incorporation of a minimum of 0.08 equivalents of N-methyldiethanolamine per mole of diisocyanate. Fatigue durability in composite panels was not improved by the addition of the polyurethane sizings due to the miscibility of the sizing and the matrix. / Ph. D.

Afin de limiter les impacts environnementaux, les industries du transport (automobile, aéronautique, etc.) cherchent à alléger leurs produits. Cette recherche de gain de masse peut conduire à l'utilisation des adhésifs dans la réalisation des structures assemblées. Dans les situations de crash, les joints de colle introduits peuvent jouer un rôle critique sur la tenue globale de l'assemblage. Par conséquent, la maîtrise de leur comportement mécanique devient un point clef de développement. Notamment en vue du « virtual testing », il est essentiel de disposer de lois de comportement fiables dans le but de fournir des outils de calcul prédictifs à l'ingénieur. Les travaux de thèse portent sur le développement d'une démarche expérimentale permettant de caractériser le comportement mécanique d'adhésifs sous sollicitations dynamiques combinées. Le développement d'une éprouvette Arcan et d'un dispositif de sollicitation dédiés à la caractérisation des adhésifs en dynamique constituent le coeur du travail de thèse. Après une phase de validation, le moyen d'essais développé a été utilisé afin de caractériser le comportement dynamique de trois adhésifs structuraux. Les résultats obtenus ont été comparés à des essais « structures » de type TAST. En parallèle de ces travaux expérimentaux, une ouverture sur la modélisation numérique des adhésifs est proposée. La stratégie de modélisation se base sur l'utilisation d'éléments cohésifs et d'une loi de comportement développée suivant la méthode de l'état local. L'identification des paramètres matériaux est réalisée par méthode directe et inverse à partir des résultats issus d'essais Arcan. La stratégie de modélisation développée a été transposée à des essais TAST et simple recouvrement. Les prédictions faites par les modèles sont proches des résultats expérimentaux validant ainsi l'approche numérique mise en oeuvre. / In order to limit environmental impacts, the transport industries (automotive, aeronautics, etc.) are seeking to reduce the weight of their products. This search for mass gain can lead to the use of adhesives in the manufacturing of assembled structures. In crash situations, introduced bonded joints can play a critical role in the overall strength of the assembly. Consequently, their mechanical behaviour becomes a key development point. Especially for virtual testing, it is essential to have reliable behaviour laws in order to provide predictive computing tools to the engineer. The thesis work focuses on the development of an experimental approach to characterize the mechanical behaviour of adhesives under combined dynamic loadings. The development of an Arcan specimen and a test rig dedicated to the dynamic characterization of adhesives is the core of the thesis work. After a validation step, the developed test mean was used to characterize the dynamic behaviour of three structural adhesives. The results obtained were compared with "structural" TAST tests. In parallel of this experimental work, a first study on the numerical modelling of adhesives is proposed. The modelling strategy relies on the use of cohesive elements and a behaviour law developed according to the local state method. The identification of material parameters is carried out by direct and inverse methods from the results of Arcan tests. The modelling strategy developed has been transposed to TAST and single lap joint tests. The predictions made by the models are close to the experimental results and therefore validate the implemented numerical approach.

L'accroissement des performances des équipements de Traction ferroviaire, reposait essentiellement jusqu'à maintenant, sur l'intégration des innovations dans le domaine des composants électriques et des matériaux diélectriques mais la standardisation de sous-ensembles réutilisables nous conduit à reconsidérer les assemblages structuraux des coffres de traction (convertisseurs de puissance). Ces coffres de traction sont assemblés actuellement avec des éléments de fixation mécanique (boulon, rivet), le but est donc d'améliorer la connaissance des comportements mécaniques de ces types d'assemblages à travers d'une étude expérimentale basée sur des essais statiques et dynamiques sur des joints boulonnés et rivetés. Ces essais nous ont permis de valider des modèles numériques par des éléments finis en utilisant les codes de calcul ABAQUS et ANSYS. La deuxième partie de la thèse concerne les assemblages par collage structural. Nous avons étudié la possibilité de remplacer les assemblages mécaniques classiques par l'assemblage par collage structural. La première phase de notre travail a été de recenser et sélectionner des adhésifs structuraux susceptibles de répondre à notre cahier de charge. Dans cette partie les travaux suivants ont été réalisés : - Etude des comportements des adhésifs en tant que matériau, ce qui a nécessité de réaliser des éprouvettes massiques. - Réalisation d'essais expérimentaux en statique et en dynamique sur des joints collés avec l'adhésif sélectionné. - Création des modèles numériques non linéaires en 3D sur ABAQUS pour les joints collés. - Etude hygrothermique accélérée afin d'étudier l'effet du vieillissement sur les assemblages collés en fonction de l'humidité et de la température. / Increased performance of railway traction equipment, until now relied primarily on the integration of innovations in the field of electrical and dielectric materials, but the standardization of subassemblies reusable us to reconsider the structural assemblies of the traction cubicles (power converters). These cubicles are assembled now with mechanical fasteners (bolts, rivets), the first goal is to improve knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of these types of joints through an experimental study based on statics and dynamics tests of bolted and riveted joints. These tests have allowed us to validate numerical models of finite elements by using the computer codes ABAQUS® and ANSYS®. The second part of the thesis deals with the structural adhesive joints. We studied the possibility of replacing conventional mechanical assembly structural bonding. The first phase of our work was to identify and select structural adhesives that could meet our specifications. In this section the following work has been made: - Study of thermo-mechanical behaviour of the adhesive with the bulk Adhesive Test Specimens. - Statics and dynamics test in the bonded joint. - Non-linear 3D finite elements models. - Hygrothermal accelerated to study the effect of aging on the adhesive according to the humidity and temperature.

Magnetic nanoparticles that display high saturation magnetization and high magnetic susceptibility are of great interest for medical applications. Nanomagnetite is particularly desirable because it displays strong ferrimagnetic behavior, and is less sensitive to oxidation than magnetic transition metals such as cobalt, iron, and nickel. Magnetite nanoparticles can be prepared by co-precipitating iron (II) and iron (III) chloride salts in the presence of ammonium hydroxide at pH 9-10. One goal of this work has been to develop a generalized methodology for stabilizing nanomagnetite dispersions using well-defined, non-toxic, block copolymers, so that the resultant magnetite-polymer complexes can be used in a range of biomedical materials. Hydrophilic triblock copolymers with controlled concentrations of pendent carboxylic acids were prepared. The triblock copolymers contain carboxylic acids in the central urethane segments and controlled molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) tail blocks. They were utilized to prepare hydrophilic-coated iron oxide nanoparticles with biocompatible materials for utility in magnetic field guidable drug delivery vehicles. The triblock copolymers synthesized contain 3, 5, or 10 carboxylic acids in the central segments with Mn values of 2000, 5000 or 15000 g/mol poly(ethylene oxide) tail blocks. A method was developed for preparing ~10 nm diameter magnetite surfaces stabilized with the triblock polymers. The carboxylic acid is proposed to covalently bind to the surface of the magnetite and form stable dispersions at neutral pH. The polymer-nanomagnetite conjugates described in this thesis have a maximum of 35 wt. % magnetite and the nano-magnetite particles have an excellent saturation magnetization of ~66 - 78 emu/g Fe3O4. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the magnetite crystal structure, which appears to be approximately single crystalline structures via electron diffraction spectroscopy analysis (EDS). These materials form stable magnetic dispersions in both water and organic solvents. / Ph. D.

Dans le domaine du renforcement et/ou de la réparation des structures en béton armé par des matériaux composites à l'aide de la méthode du collage extérieur au moyen d'un adhésif époxy, une des préoccupations de la communauté scientifique est l'intégrité structurelle de ce système dans le cas d'incendie dans lequel la haute température est une caractéristique essentielle et peut atteindre jusqu'à 1200°C. Ce travail de recherche est axé sur le comportement thermomécanique à très haute température des matériaux composites [un composite à base de polymère carbone/ époxy (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer- CFRP), un composite textile/ mortier cimentaire (Textile Reinforced Concrete- TRC) et un adhésif à base d'époxy]. L'évolution des propriétés mécaniques et d'autres aspects mécaniques de ces matériaux composites avec la température a été caractérisée. Une nouvelle procédure expérimentale concernant la mesure de la déformation de l'éprouvette à l'aide du capteur laser est développée et validée. Une étude numérique et expérimentale a été réalisée dans le but de déterminer principalement la température à la rupture des joints « composite/ adhésif/ composite » sous les sollicitations mécaniques et thermiques. L'efficacité de la protection thermique de deux isolants [PROMASPRAY®T (produit commercial de la société PROMAT] et Isolant A (produit développé par le LGCIE site Tusset) a aussi été étudiée dans cette thèse. Enfin, une approche numérique, à l'aide du logiciel ANSYS, est utilisée afin de déterminer, de façon préliminaire et approximative, à l'échelle matériau, les propriétés thermiques des matériaux (composite textile/ mortier cimentaire -TRC et Isolant A) / In the area of the strengthening and/or the reparation of reinforced concrete structures with composites by means of the external bonding method using an epoxy adhesive, one of the preoccupation of the scientific community is the structural integrity of this system in the event of fire in which the high temperature is the essential feature et can reach up to 1200°C. This research focuses on the thermo-mechanical behavior of composite materials [carbon/epoxy adhesive composite (or carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), textile/cementitious mortar composite (or textile reinforced concrete (TRC)] and an epoxy-based adhesive. The evolution of mechanical properties and other mechanical aspects of these materials with the temperature has been characterized. A new experimental procedure concerning the measurement of sample strain by the laser sensor is developed and validated. An experimental and numerical study has been realized in order to mainly determine the temperature at the failure of "composite/adhesive/composite" joints under thermal and mechanical loadings. The effectiveness of the thermal protection of two insulators [PROMASPRAY®T (a commercial product of the PROMAT company and the insulator A (product developed by the LGCIE site Tuset)] has also been investigated in this PhD thesis. Finally, a numerical approach, using ANSYS software, is used to determine, in the preliminary and approximate way, at material scale, thermal properties of the materials [the textile reinforced concrete (TRC) and the insulator A]
