Caracterização da sílica amorfa extraída da casca de arroz obtida por pré-hidrólise ácida e calcinação, e sua aplicação em borracha de estireno-butadieno (SBR) / Characterization of amorphous rice husk silica obtained by acidic prehydrolysis and calcination, and its application in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)

O crescimento dos países em desenvolvimento aumentará em várias vezes o consumo de energia, materiais e alimentos. Para suprir essa demanda é necessário o aproveitamento racional dos resíduos gerados por processos industriais, agrícolas e lixo urbano, transformando-os em energia economicamente competitiva com as outras formas de energia, e em materiais com propriedades otimizadas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi comparar o comportamento da sílica da casca de arroz obtida por pré-hidrólise ácida seguida de calcinação controlada (Sil-PH) com sílicas de casca de arroz comerciais obtidas simplesmente pela queima da casca (Sil-B e Sil-C) e com a sílica comercial obtida da areia quartzítica (Sil-Z), como carga de reforço em borracha de estireno-butadieno (SBR), que é a mais usada na indústria de fabricação de pneus. Estudos foram conduzidos em SBR 1502, preparados conforme norma ASTM 3191-2010. Foram adicionadas à borracha as sílicas em concentrações de 0, 10, 20 e 40 ppcb. Foram conduzidos testes físicos, químicos, mecânicos, reométricos, dinâmico-mecânicos e análise térmica, bem como ensaios de inchamento dos corpos de prova em toluol e análise microestrutural das sílicas e dos compostos por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, com o objetivo de determinar a natureza do reforço. O número de ligações cruzadas foi avaliado e a energia de formação dessas ligações foi calculada. A relação entre as metodologias de cálculo da densidade de ligações cruzadas foi também avaliada, obtendo a caracterização desse tipo de carga de reforço não somente por correlações mecânicas mas também pela energia de formação das ligações. Os resultados mostraram que quanto maior a adição de sílica, maior é sua interação com a borracha. Dentre as sílicas adicionadas, Sil-Z alcançou os maiores valores de propriedades mecânicas dos compostos, e Sil-PH mostrou os melhores resultados dentre as sílicas de casca de arroz. Por avaliação por inchamento em toluol (teste estático) e por testes de tração e testes dinâmicos foi possível afirmar que as densidades de ligações cruzadas estão correlacionadas, Usando os resultados de reometria e as equações de Arrhenius estimou-se uma energia média de ligação, concluindo que esta corresponde a uma ligação do tipo covalente. Pelos valores de tan ? confirmou-se que os compostos com Sil-PH têm maior aderência no chão molhado do que aqueles com Sil-Z. A sílica nos compostos tende a diminuir a temperatura de transição vítrea. Os resultados da análise térmica mostraram elevada estabilidade térmica dos compostos com Sil-PH e Sil-Z. A falta de cominuição adequada da Sil-PH ocasionou uma dispersão irregular da sílica na SBR, uma molhabilidade parcial da sílica pela borracha e pelo agente de acoplamento, com consequente aparecimento de falhas na estrutura do composto. Por esse motivo as propriedades mecânicas dos compostos com Sil-PH foram inferiores às dos compostos com Sil-Z. / Developing countries are increasing by several times their consumption of energy, materials, and food. To attend their demand it is necessary to rationally reuse industrial, agricultural, and municipal solid waste residues, transforming them into economically competitive energy and materials with optimized properties. The objective of this work was to compare the behavior of a rice husk silica obtained by acidic prehydrolysis and controlled calcination (Sil-PH) with commercial amorphous silicas obtained from quartzite sand (Sil-Z) and from simply burned rice husks (Sil-B and Sil-C), as reinforcing filler in styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites, which is the most used rubber in the tire manufacture industry. Studies were conducted on SBR 1502 rubber according to ASTM 3191-2010 in which amorphous silicas obtained from rice husk and quartzite silica were added at concentrations of 0, 10, 20, and 40 phr. Physical, chemical, mechanical, rheometric, dynamic-mechanical tests, thermal analysis, swelling studies in toluol and scanning electron microscopy of the silicas and composite specimens were made with objective to determine the nature of reinforcement. The number of crosslinks was evaluated and the energy of formation of these bonds calculated. The correlation between the methodologies of calculation of crosslink density was also evaluated, getting the characterization of this type of reinforcing filler not only by mechanical correlations but also by the energy of their formation. The results showed that the higher the content of added silica, the greater the interaction with rubber. According to the mechanical properties values Sil-Z achieved the highest properties values but Sil-PH showed better results compared to the other types of rice husk silicas. By evaluation by swelling in toluene (static), tensile tests and dynamic tests it was possible to affirm that the crosslink densities are correlated. By using the rheometry results and the Arrhenius equations the average bound was estimated to be of a covalent type. The silica in the compounds tends to lower the values of the glass transition temperature. The evaluation of tan ? showed that Sil-PH has more stickiness on the wet floor, which is an important property to tire application. Due to the lack of appropriate grinding of the Sil-PH the dispersion of the silica on SBR was irregular; partial wetting of the silica particles by rubber and silane had also occurred. Those facts had caused failures on the compound structural integrity, with a consequent lowering of the mechanical property values as compared to the compounds with Sil-Z addition.

<p>Strukturiranje elastomernih kompozita dodavanjem različitih vrsta nanopunila je dovelo do značajnog pobolj&scaron;anja njihovih primenskih svojstava, a samim tim i do povećanja njihove potencijalne primene kao pogodnih materijala za specijalne namene. U ovom radu, dobijene su dve grupe elastomernih hibridnih materijala za specijalne namene (na osnovu stirenbutadienskog elastomera i na osnovu termoplastičnih poliuretana).<br />U prvom delu istraživanja, veliki doprinos u razvoju industrije gume je postignut strukturiranju stirenbutadienskih nanokompozita primenom nanočestica punila silicijum(IV)oksida različitih morfolo&scaron;kih svojstava, dobijenih hidrotermičkom i termičkom obradom, primenom tri eksperimentalno modelovana punila silicijum(IV)oksida (dobijena taloženjem iz Na-vodenog stakla sa sumpornom kiselinom), kao i hibridnog punila (kombinacije čestica aktivne čađi i SiO<sub>2</sub> optimalnih svojstava). Izvr&scaron;ena je analiza uticaja strukture, povr&scaron;ine i povr&scaron;inske aktivnosti nanopunila na ojačanje elastomera, kao i provera koncepata, modela i teorija ojačanja na neumreženim i umreženim sistemima stirenbutadienskih elastomera ojačanih modifikovanim punilima SiO<sub>2</sub>. Primenom mnogobrojnih metoda karakterizacije, sveobuhvatno je ispitan uticaj nanopunila na karakteristike me&scaron;anja, reolo&scaron;ka svojstva pripremljenih hibridnih nanokompozita, sposobnost umrežavanja u neumreženom materijalu, kao i na toplotna, dinamičko-mehanička i mehanička svojstva umreženih nanokompozita, radi projektovanja i optimizovanja sastava SBR hibridnih materijala za razvoj modelnog protektora sa optimalnim svojstvima za ekolo&scaron;ke ili &quot;zelene pneumatike&quot;. Drugi deo istraživanja je bio posvećen dobijanju segmentiranih poliuretanskih elastomernih nanokompozita primenom alifatičnih polikarbonatnih diola i nanočestica bentonita, koji nalaze primenu u medicini, građevinarstvu, u industriji name&scaron;taja i sportske opreme. Primenom mnogobrojnih metoda za karakterizaciju, ispitan je složen mehanizam uticaja tvrdih segmenata, termodinamičke nekompatibilnosti i prisustva nanočestica punila bentonita na strukturu i morfologiju, kao i na toplotna i dinamičko-mehanička svojstva pripremljenih poliuretanskih termoplastičnih elastomera. Dobijeni podaci o obrazovanju vodoničnih veza, termičkoj stabilnosti i termičkoj dekompoziciji, kao i o temperaturama prelaska u staklasto stanje i oblasti raskidanja čvorova fizičkih veza, predstavljaju značajan doprinos napretku strukturiranja poliuretanskih elastomera i nanokompozita na osnovu alifatičnih polikarbonatnih diola, i omogućavaju primenu ovih materijala za specijalne namene.</p> / <p>The structuring of elastomeric composites by addition of different nanofillers has led to a significant improvement of their end-use properties, and therefore, to their potential application as suitable materials for special applications. In this work, two types of elastomeric hybrid materials for special purposes were obtained (based on styrene-bustadiene elastomer or on segmented thermoplastic polyurethanes).<br />In the first part of the study, a major contribution to the development of the rubber industry was achieved by structuring styrene-butadiene nanocomposites, applying silica nanoparticles of various morphological properties: prepared by hydrothermal or thermal treatment, three experimentally prepared SiO2 fillers (obtained by precipitation from sodium silicate with sulfuric acid), as well as a hybrid filler (combination of carbon black and SiO2 fillers with optimal properties). The analysis of the influence of the nanoparticles structure, surface and surface activity on the reinforcment of SBR elastomers, as well as the verification of concepts, models and reinforcement theories on non-cross-linked and cross-linked systems of styrene-butadiene nanocomposites was performed. Using the numerous characterization methods, the influence of nanofillers on the mixing characteristics, the rheological properties of the prepared hybrid nanocomposites, as well as the thermal, dynamic-mechanical and mechanical properties of cross-linked SBR nanocomposites was studied, in order to design and optimize the composition of SBR hybrid materials for development of environmental friendly or &quot;green&quot; tyre protector model.<br />The second part of the research was devoted to the preparation of segmented polyurethane elastomeric nanocomposites using aliphatic polycarbonate diols and bentonite nanoparticles, that have found the significant application in the medicine, construction, the furniture and sports equipment industry. Applying numerous characterization methods, a complex mechanism of the influence of the hard segments, thermodynamic incompatibility and the presence of bentonite filler on the structure and morphology, as well as on the thermal and dynamic-mechanical properties of the synthesized thermoplastic elastomers was studied. The obtained data on the hydrogen bonds formation, thermal stability and thermal decomposition, as well as the glass transition temperature and physical crosslink disruption temparature range, makes a significant contribution to the progress in structuring of polycarbonate-based polyurethane elastomers and their hybrid materials, and improves their potential applications for the special purposes.</p>

Nanocomposites à matrice élastomère à base de charges lamellaires synthétiques alpha-ZrP : influence de la modification des charges sur les propriétés mécaniques et barrière aux gaz / Synthetic lamellar nanofillers alpha-ZrP based elastomeric nanocomposites : influence of the fillers modification on the mechanical and gas barrier properties

Dal Pont, Kévin 06 June 2011 (has links)
Ce travail concerne l'étude des modifications de nanocharges lamellaires synthétiques (α-ZrP) et de leur influence sur les propriétés mécaniques et barrière aux gaz de nanocomposites à matrice élastomère (SBR). Cette étude s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'amélioration de l'étanchéité des pneumatiques. L'une des originalités de ce travail a résidé dans l'introduction des nanocharges hydrophiles par le biais d'une dispersion aqueuse (slurry), dans la matrice SBR hydrophobe. La première phase de ce travail a consisté à entreprendre plusieurs types de modification des nanocharges afin d'étudier les mécanismes d'intercalation et/ou d'exfoliation des ces dernières dans le slurry. Ces différentes familles de charges modifiées ont été utilisées pour réaliser des nanocomposites selon différentes voies de mise en oeuvre : principalement solvant et latex. Nous avons ensuite étudié l'influence, (i) de la nature des intercalants, (ii) des distances interfoliaires initiales des nanocharges et (iii) des procédés de mise en oeuvre des nanocomposites, sur la morphologie et les propriétés finales des matériaux. Cette étude a montré la synergie de ces trois paramètres et mis en évidence l'importance du contrôle des interactions charges modifiées/matrice sur les propriétés de transport de gaz. Parmi l'ensemble des matériaux synthétisés, nous avons pu mettre en avant une formulation, permettant d'atteindre des propriétés mécaniques et barrière intéressantes. Cette formulation, en voie latex, est basée sur l'utilisation de la charge modifiée aminosilane et de l'agent de couplage Si69 / This work concerns the study of the modification of synthetic lamellar nanofillers (α-ZrP) and their influence on mechanical and gas barrier properties of elastomeric nanocomposites (SBR). This study is part of improving the tire tightness. One of the originalities of this work is the introduction of hydrophilic nanofillers through an aqueous dispersion (slurry) in the hydrophobic SBR matrix. The first step of this work was to undertake several types of nanofiller modifications state in order to study their intercalation/exfoliation mechanisms in a slurry. These different families of modified fillers were then used to make nanocomposites with different ways of implementations: mainly solvent and latex ones. The influence of, (i) the nature of the intercalating agent, (ii) the initial nanofiller interlayer distance and (iii) the nanocomposite implementation processes, on the morphology and final properties of materials were studied. The synergy of these three parameters was demonstrated and the importance of controlling the modified filler/matrix interactions on the gas transport and mechanical properties was also proved. Among all the synthesized materials, a formulation was put forward which allowed to achieve interesting mechanical and barrier properties. This formulation, processed by the latex route, is based on the use of aminosilane modified nanofillers and the Si69 coupling agent

Structure et propriétés de mélanges d'élastomères chargés de noir de carbone : étude des coupages NR / SBR et BR / SBR / Structure and properties of elastomer blends filled with carbon black : study of NR / SBR and BR / SBR blends

Merlin, Marie 25 January 2012 (has links)
Les objectifs de cette thèse consistent à identifier les morphologies adoptées par des mélanges d’élastomères chargés en noir de carbone, à étudier l’influence de l’introduction de charges sur ces morphologies mais aussi de détecter la localisation de la charge dans ces mélanges. Dans une dernière partie, l’impact de ces différentes structures sur les défauts d’extrusion est abordé. Ces travaux concernent l’étude des coupages caoutchouc naturel / styrene-butadiene rubber (NR / SBR) et polybutadiène / styrene-butadiene rubber (BR / SBR) non vulcanisés. Dans un premier temps, les morphologies adoptées par ces mélanges non chargés ont été identifiées grâce à plusieurs protocoles expérimentaux. L’influence de l’introduction de noir de carbone ainsi que l’étude de la localisation de la charge dans ces mélanges ont constitué une seconde étape dans ces travaux. Aucune localisation préférentielle de la charge n’a été détectée pour ces mélanges. Un système ségrégé a donc été réalisé par la suite. Enfin, le comportement en extrusion de ces mélanges a été simulé par rhéométrie capillaire et des observations de défauts d’aspect ont été faites. La ségrégation du noir de carbone ne semble pas entraîner la création de défauts d’aspect, sauf dans le cas d’une localisation dans la matrice / The purpose of this project is to investigate the morphology of elastomeric blends filled with carbon black, the localization of the filler in these blends and the structure impact on their processing. This work concerns uncured natural rubber / styrene-butadiene rubber (NR / SBR) blends and butadiene rubber / styrene-butadiene rubber (BR / SBR) blends. Firstly, the morphology of these blends unfilled was described by different experimental procedures over the entire composition range. Secondly, the impact of the filler on the morphology and the localization of it on the blends were studied. No preferential localization was observed in our case. Another blend with a segregation was realized. And finally, the processing of these elastomeric blends was simulated by capillary rheology to detect the formation of flow instabilities. Few melt fractures were observed, except when the filler is localized in the matrix
