[pt] Fibras naturais vêm sendo utilizadas desde a antiguidade, mas, a partir do século XX, foram amplamente substituídas por fibras sintéticas, que apresentam diversas vantagens, tais como grande uniformidade de suas propriedades. Com a preocupação de se ter um desenvolvimento sustentável, voltou-se a substituir os materiais sintéticos por materiais naturais. Algumas das vantagens de utilizar fibras ligno-celulósicas incluem biodegrabilidade, a fixação de carbono, baixo custo e baixa abrasividade. Nos últimos anos, entre diversas aplicações, os setores de construção civil e automobilística estão utilizando fibras naturais como reforço de compósitos termoplásticos, assim como para interiores de cabines de automóveis e caminhões e em capacetes usados em EPI. Este trabalho visa realizar uma caracterização de fibras naturais existentes no mercado brasileiro, a saber: Bastão do Imperador, Costus e Helicônia bihai. O principal uso dessas três espécies se dá como flores ornamentais e como plantas medicinais, mas há um grande potencial no reaproveitamento dos rejeitos dos caules dessas plantas. Para isto foi realizada uma caracterização das fibras, visando medir a verdadeira seção transversal destas utilizando microscopia digital e análise de imagens. Alem disto foi desenvolvida uma metodologia própria para a preparação de amostras de fibras naturais. Foi realizado caracterização por MEV, DRX e TGA. / [en] Natural fibers have been used since ancient times, but since the 20th century they have been largely substituted by synthetic fibers, which offer several advantages such as their homogeneous properties. However, in light of the growing concerns about sustainable development, natural materials have once again started to substitute synthetic ones. A few of the advantages of utilizing lignocellulosic fibers include biodegradability, low cost, and low abrasiveness. In recent years, among many applications, the civil construction and automotive industries are using natural fibers as reinforcement in thermoplastic composites, as well as interior cabins of cars and trucks and helmets used in PPE. Over the past years, areas such as civil construction and the automotive industry have used natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites in car and truck interiors, as well as in helmets used in constructions. This work intends to characterize fibers available in the brazilian market, in particular: Etlingera elatior, Costus, Helicônia bihai. These three species are mainly used as medicinal plants or ornamental flowers, but there is a great potential to reutilize the discarded stems of these plants. Furthermore, these fibers will be characterized using digital microscopy and image analysis, aiming to measure their real transversal section. A method for preparing natural fiber samples will be developed for this purpose. For this was a characterization of the fibers was done in order to measure the true cross section of these using digital microscopy and image analysis. Besides it has been developed a methodology for the preparation of samples of natural fibers. Characterization was performed by SEM, XRD and TGA.

Ce travail a concerné la synthèse hydro-solvothermale et la caractérisation de nouveaux fluorures hybrides à porosité variable, dans l’objectif à terme de tester ces matériaux poreux en stockage ou purification de gaz. En première partie, l’aminotétrazole a été utilisé comme ligand organique et a permis de mettre en évidence douze nouveaux fluorures hybrides, dont six sont de type MOF. Plusieurs paramètres de synthèse ont été identifiés comme cruciaux dans la condensation d'édifices ouverts. C’est, en particulier, la température, la composition du milieu ainsi que la nature des cations métalliques (Zn2+/Fe3+, Fe2+/Fe3+ et Zn2+ seul) et du solvant. Les porosités estimées de ces MOF atteignent 25% en volume bien que la taille de l’aminotétrazole soit réduite. En seconde partie, des ligands plus étendus à noyaux tétrazoliques multiples ont été choisis afin de parvenir à augmenter la dimension des cavités des MOFs. Ces molécules, non commercialisées, ont été synthétisées dans un premier temps puis impliquées dans l’élaboration de nouveaux hybrides. Alors que la molécule H3btt à 3 noyaux tétrazole n’a pas abouti à des résultats, H2bdt a conduit à de nouvelles architectures fluorées en présence de Zn et/ou Fe. Deux d’entre elles, [Hdma]∙(FeIIF(bdt)) et FeIIF(Hbdt), présentent des porosités remarquables de 40 et 60% qui s’approchent de celles des matériaux de référence. / This work focuses on the hydro-solvothermal synthesis and the characterization of new hybrid fluorides with tunable porosity, with the aim of testing new porous materials for gas storage and purification. In the first part, the aminotetrazole was used as organic linker and twelve new hybrid fluorides were evidenced, six phases belong to MOFs class. Several parameters were identified as crucial for the condensation of open frameworks, in particular, the temperature, the medium composition as well as the nature of metallic cations (Zn2+/Fe3+, Fe2+/Fe3+ or only Zn2+) and of the solvent. The porosity of these MOFs reaches 25% of volume, in spite of the small size of the aminotetrazole molecule. In the second part, polytetrazoles linkers with extended size were chosen, in order to increase the size of MOFs cavities. Non-commercial molecules were prepared and applied to the elaboration of new hybrids. While H3btt with 3 tetrazole cycles did not provide any expected result, H2bdt led to new fluorinated architectures in the presence of Zn and/or Fe. Two phases, [Hdma]∙(FeIIF(bdt)) and FeIIF(Hbdt), exhibit remarkable porosities of 40 and 60%, values.

In this thesis, monomer casting (MC) nylon was synthesized. MC nylon could replace nonferrous metals in certain applications, including gears, wheels, and other moving parts. However, compared with metals, MC nylon products have poor strength and stiffness, and crack easily, especially at low temperatures. In addition, the dimensional stability of MC nylon is poor, especially in the large casting nylon products, causing significant internal stresses due to shrinkage. Thus, MC nylon cracks easily when cast and molded. The yttrium hydroxide particles were modified by stearic acid and dispersed in the caprolactam. The polymerization time was short due to fast anionic polymerization. Copolymerization with different ratios of yttrium hydroxide particles can be used to prepare the copolymer. The effects of different amounts of yttrium hydroxide on the performance of the monomer casting nylon were studied. The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction, impact, and tensile testing. When the percentage of modified yttrium hydroxide is 0.3 wt %, the composite exhibits the maximum impact strength, thus the 0.3 wt % of modified yttrium hydroxide is the suitable percentage to enhance the impact strength of MC nylon. Transparency and color of polyethylene film layered packages change with the number of layers. When polyethylene layer thickness is between 50 µm and 200 µm, each additional subsequent layer in the package leads to an abrupt change of color and transparency. Polarized light optical effects can be used to manufacture packaging films and labels with forgery protection. A significant influence of the scaling factor on the latent effect and optical properties of the film package is demonstrated for 1 to 6 layers with the total thickness of 200±50 µm. Prior thermal treatment of individual layers before they are assembled into a package or assembled package heat treatment change the laminate color. This allows hidden marking and recording text or graphics on the multi-layer films, not visible under normal lighting conditions, but appearing when viewed in polarized light, or through the polarizer.

abstract: III-V-bismide semiconductor alloys are a class of materials with applications in the mid and long wave infrared spectrum. The quaternary alloy InAsSbBi is attractive because it can be grown lattice-matched to commercially available GaSb substrates, and the adjustment of the Bi and Sb mole fractions enables both lattice constant and bandgap to be tuned independently. This dissertation provides a comprehensive study of the surface morphology and the structural and chemical properties of InAsSbBi alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy. 210 nm thick InAsSbBi layers grown at temperatures from 280 °C to 430 °C on (100) on-axis, (100) offcut 1° to (011), and (100) offcut 4° to (111)A GaSb substrates are investigated using Rutherford back scattering, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Nomarski optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results indicate that the layers are coherently strained and contain dilute Bi mole fractions. Large surface droplets with diameters and densities on the order of 3 µm and 106 cm-2 are observed when the growth is performed with As overpressures around 1%. Preferential orientation of the droplets occurs along the [011 ̅] step edges offcut (100) 1° to (011) substrate. The surface droplets are not observed when the As overpressure is increased to 4%. Small crystalline droplets with diameters and densities on the order of 70 nm and 1010 cm-2 are observed between the large droplets for the growth at 430°C. Analysis of one of the small droplets indicates a misoriented zinc blende structure composed of In, Sb, and Bi, with a 6.543 ± 0.038 Å lattice constant. Lateral variation in the Bi mole fraction is observed in InAsSbBi grown at high temperature (400 °C, 420 °C) on (100) on-axis and (100) offcut 4° to (111)A substrates, but is not observed for growth at 280 °C or on (100) substrates that are offcut 1° to (011). Improved crystal and optical quality is observed in the high temperature grown InAsSbBi and CuPtB type atomic ordering on the {111}B planes is observed in the low temperature grown InAsSbBi. Strain induced tilt is observed in coherently strained InAsSbBi grown on offcut substrates. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Materials Science and Engineering 2020

Estudos para a elaboração de um protocolo de desgaste menos prejudicial dessas infraesturuturas e determinação de um tratamento térmico regenerativo são pertinentes. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a superfície da zircônia tetragonal policristalina parcialmente estabilizada por ítria (Y-TZP) após desgaste com pedra diamantada com e sem irrigação em relação às fases cristalinas, composição química, morfologia superficial, rugosidade (Ra) e molhabilidade e também determinar o tempo e a temperatura necessários para reversão de fase (mt) a fim de se elaborar um protocolo de tratamento térmico regenerativo. Amostras sinterizadas de Y-TZP (LavaTM) foram distribuídas em 4 grupos: pré-sinterizado (PS), sinterizado (C), desgastado sem irrigação (DS) e desgastado com irrigação (DI). Foram realizados desgastes de 0,3 mm na superfície das amostras em dispositivo padronizador utilizando pedra diamantada em baixa rotação. As superfícies foram avaliadas em difratômetro de raios X (DRX), microscópio eletrônico de varredura (MEV) com espectroscopia de raios X por dispersão em energia (EDS), goniômetro e rugosímetro. Para a determinação da temperatura do tratamento térmico regenerativo (R) utilizou-se difratômetro de raios X in situ em temperatura (DRX in situ). As médias de ângulo de contato e Ra foram submetidas respectivamente, ao teste ANOVA one wa...

Studies for developing a less harmful grinding protocol and for a regenerative heat treatment are relevant .The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface of tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia partially stabilized by yttria (Y-TZP) after grinding with diamond stone with or without irrigation comparing the crystalline content, chemical composition, surface morphology, roughness (Ra) and wettability and also determinate the time and temperature required for reversal phase transformation (mt) to create a regenerative thermal treatment protocol. Y-TZP sintered samples (LavaTM) were divided into four groups: pre-sintered (PS), sintered (C), dry grinding (DG) and wet grinding (WG). The grinding (0,3 mm) was performed on the sample surface in a equipment using diamond stone at low speed. Y-TZP surface was evaluated in X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), goniometer and profilometer. It was used a temperature in situ X-ray (in situ XRD) to determinate the temperature of the regenerative thermal treatment (R). Means of contact angle and Ra were analyzed respectively by ANOVA one way followed by Tukey (α=0.05) and Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn (α=0.05). The sintering process eliminated the monoclinic phase of the PS group. There were more monoclinic grains in the WG when compared with the DG. SEM sho...
