In dieser Arbeit werden ferroelektrische Phasenübergänge in verspannten (K,Na)NbO3-Schichten erstmals mit Hilfe temperaturabhängiger dreidimensionaler Röntgenbeugung untersucht. Der Fokus liegt auf stark anisotrop verspannten Dünnschichten, die bei Raumtemperatur ein geordnetes Fischgräten-Domänenmuster mit einer periodischen Anordnung von monoklinen a1a2/MC-Phasen aufweisen. Bei Erhöhung der Temperatur durchlaufen die (K,Na)NbO3-Dünnschichten einen ferroelektrischen Phasenübergang in die orthorhombische Hochtemperaturphase, die sich durch regelmäßige, alternierenden a1/a2-Streifendomänen mit ausschließlich lateraler Polarisation auszeichnet. In-plane Röntgenmessungen zeigen, dass die Filmeinheitszellen eine kleine Verzerrung in der Ebene erfahren, was zur Bildung von vier verschiedenen Einheitszellvarianten und damit vier verschiedenen (Super-)Domänenvarianten führt. Durch den Vergleich von Röntgenbeugungsmessungen verschiedener Bragg-Reflexe an Filmen mit unterschiedlicher Schichtdicke ist es möglich, die spezifischen Beugungsmerkmale zu unterscheiden und sie den einzelnen Phasen zuzuordnen. Mit Hilfe von in situ temperaturabhängiger Röntgenbeugung ist es daher möglich, die Details des Phasenübergangs vom Fischgräten in das Streifen-Domänenmuster aufzudecken. Es zeigt sich, dass dieser sich über einen großen Temperaturbereich erstreckt und in mehreren Schritten vollzieht. Die Beobachtung von Phasenkoexistenz innerhalb des Übergangs und einer thermischen Hysterese in der Phasenübergangstemperatur lassen auf einen Phasenübergang erster Art schließen. Zudem hängt die Phasenübergangstemperatur stark von der Kaliumkonzentration x in der KxNa1-xNbO3-Dünnschicht ab und kann durch eine Änderung von x=0,95 (stärker kompressiv verspannt) auf x=0,8 (stärker tensil verspannt) um etwa 60 K erhöht werden. Darüber hinaus ist dies die erste Studie, die experimentell beobachtete dreidimensionale Domänenanordnungen direkt mit Berechnungen aus Phasenfeldsimulationen vergleicht. / In this work, ferroelectric phase transitions in strained (K,Na)NbO3 films are studied for the first time using in situ temperature-dependent three-dimensional X-ray diffraction. The focus lies on strongly anisotropically strained thin films, which exhibit a well-ordered herringbone domain pattern with a periodic arrangement of monoclinic a1a2/MC phases at room temperature. Upon increasing temperatures, the (K,Na)NbO3 thin films undergo a ferroelectric phase transition to the orthorhombic high-temperature phase, which is characterized by a regular pattern of alternating a1/a2 stripe domains with pure lateral polarization. In-plane X-ray measurements show that the film unit cells undergo a small in-plane distortion, leading to the formation of four different unit cell variants and thus four different (super)domain variants. By comparing X-ray diffraction measurements of different Bragg reflections of films with different film thicknesses, it is possible to distinguish the specific diffraction features and assign them to the individual phases observed at the different temperatures. Using in situ temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction, it is therefore possible to reveal the details of the phase transition from the a1a2/MC herringbone to the a1/a2 stripe domain pattern. It is shown to extend over a wide temperature range and to occur in several steps. The observation of phase coexistence within the transition and a thermal hysteresis in the phase transition temperature suggests a first-order type phase transition. Moreover, the phase transition temperature strongly depends on the molar concentration of potassium x in the KxNa1-xNbO3 thin film and can be increased by about 60 K by changing x=0.95 (more compressively strained) to x=0.8 (more tensile strained). Furthermore, this is the first study to directly compare experimentally observed three-dimensional domain arrangements with calculations from phase field simulations.

Photoelectrodes and photovoltaic devices have been prepared via multiple thin film deposition methods. Aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD), electrodeposition (ED), chemical bath deposition (CBD) and doctor blade technique (DB) have been used to deposit binary and ternary metal oxide films on FTO glass substrates. The prepared thin films were characterised by a combination of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), powder X-ray diffraction, mechanical strength tests and photochemical measurements. Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films prepared by AACVD were determined to have good mechanical strength . with a photocurrent of 7.6 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of about 0.10 V. This contrasted with the dark current density of 0.3 μA cm-2 at 0 V. These NiO samples have very high porosity with crystalline columns evidenced by SEM. In comparison with the AACVD methodology, NiO films prepared using a combination of ED and DB show good mechanical strength but a higher photocurrent of 24 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of about 0.10 V with a significantly greater dark current density of 7 μA cm-2 at 0 V. The characteristic features shown in the SEM are smaller pores compared to the AACVD method. Copper (II) oxide (CuO) and copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) films were fabricated by AACVD by varying the annealing temperature between 100-325°C in air using a fixed annealing time of 30 min. It was shown by photocurrent density (J-V) measurements that CuO produced at 325 °C was most stable and provided the highest photocurrent of 173 μA cm-2 at 0 V with an onset potential of about 0.23 V. The alignment of zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-rods and nano-tubes fabricated by CBD have been shown to be strongly affected by the seed layer on the FTO substrate. SEM images showed that AACVD provided the best seed layer for aligning the growth of the nano-rods perpendicular to the surface. Nano-rods were successfully altered into nano-tubes using a potassium chloride bath etching method. NiO prepared by both AACVD and the combined ED/DB method were sensitized to absorb more of the solar spectrum using AACVD to deposit CuO over the NiO. A large increase in the photocurrent was observed for the p-type photoelectrode. These p-type photoelectrode showed a photocurrent density of approximately 100 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of 0.3 V. This photocathode was then used as a base to produce a solid state p-type solar cell. For the construction of the solid state solar cells several n-type semiconductors were used, these were ZnO, WO3 and BiVO4. WO3 and BiVO4 were successfully produced with BiVO4 proving to be the optimum choice. This cell was then studied more in depth and optimised by controlling the thickness of each layer and annealing temperatures. The best solid state solar cell produced had a Jsc of 0.541 μA cm-2 (541 nA) and a Voc of 0.14 V, TX146 made up of NiO 20 min, CuFe2O4 50 min, CuO 10 min, BiVO4 27 min, using AACVD and then annealed for 30 min at 600°C.

Les principes actifs, dans leur chemin vers leur cible thérapeutique, rencontrent une ou plusieurs membranes biologiques (plasmique, intracellulaire). Les interactions entre un principe actif et ces membranes sont importantes : d’une part les propriétés pharmacocinétiques de la molécule active (transport, distribution, accumulation) en dépendent, d’autre part le principe actif peut modifier les propriétés structurales des membranes. L’étude de ces interactions est rendue difficile par la complexité des membranes en termes de composition (lipidique et protéique) et de structure (hétérogénéité de l’organisation). Par conséquent, l’utilisation de systèmes modèles simplifiés est nécessaire. Au cours de ce travail de thèse nous avons cherché à réaliser des bicouches lipidiques modèles dont les caractéristiques se rapprochaient de celles des membranes biologiques en complexifiant progressivement leur composition lipidique. Nous avons ensuite étudié l’interaction d’une molécule anti-VIH squalénisée, le ddC-SQ, avec nos modèles de membrane.Un des rôles essentiels des membranes biologiques étant de séparer deux milieux aqueux de composition ionique différente, nous avons étudié dans un premier temps l’influence de la nature du milieu d’hydratation sur les propriétés thermiques et structurales des bicouches lipidiques. A pH physiologique, nous avons mis en évidence que seuls les ions divalents (à faibles concentrations) induisaient de profondes modifications structurales en provoquant la formation de vésicules unilamellaires dans les systèmes simples. Une seconde partie de nos travaux a consisté à étudier l’interaction d’un antiviral squalénisé, le ddC-squalène (ddC-SQ), avec nos différentes bicouches modèles. Cet analogue nucléosidique a été associé de manière covalente à une chaîne de squalène afin d’améliorer ses propriétés pharmacocinétiques. Cette squalénisation confère à la molécule la capacité de s’auto-assembler en nanoparticules présentant une structure cubique bicontinue. Les résultats obtenus ont révélé que le principe actif squalénisé interagissait fortement avec les membranes à l’inverse de la molécule native. L’organisation structurale des systèmes modèles est profondément modifiée par l’insertion du ddC-SQ, ce qui pourrait influer sur l’activité du composé. / Drugs must cross one or more biological membranes (plasma membrane, intracellular membrane) to reach their intracellular target. Interactions between drug and membranes play a significant role in the pharmacokinetic properties of drug such as transport, distribution, accumulation. Moreover, drugs may alter membrane properties. The complexity of the composition (protein and lipid) and the structural properties (heterogeneity) of membranes leads to a difficult investigation of these interactions. Consequently, use of simplified model membranes is needed. In this work, model lipid bilayer systems in which the lipid organization mimics the arrangement of lipids in natural membrane have been developed. In this way, the complexity of lipid composition mixtures has been progressively increased. The primary function of membrane is to physically separate aqueous compartments from their surroundings. The intracellular and extracellular fluids differ in ionic composition. This study firstly consists to estimate the influence of aqueous medium nature on the thermodynamic and structural properties of these model membranes.In physiological conditions (pH 7.4, ionic strength 150 mM), the most significant change was obtained in the presence of divalent ions. Markedly change in lipid organization was observed and the formation of unilamellar vesicles has been evidenced (at low concentrations) in simple model bilayers. Interactions of an antiretroviral nucleoside analogue, the SQddC, with lipid systems constitute the second part of our work. Squalene has been covalently coupled to ddC, in order to improve its therapeutic index. Squalenoylation leads to amphiphilic prodrugs which self-organize as nanoparticles. ddC weakly interacts with lipid membranes while SQddC-SQ can insert into membranes between hydrophobic alkyl chains and induce disruption of lipid organization. Consequently, the efficacy and/or toxicity of this drug could change.

MnSi(111) films were grown on Si(111) substrates by solid phase epitaxy (SPE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to determine their magnetic structures. A lattice mismatch of -3.1% causes an in-plane tensile strain in the film, which is partially relaxed by misfit dislocations. A correlation between the thickness dependence of the Curie temperature (TC) and strain is hypothesized to be due to the presence of interstitial defects. The in-plane tensile strain leads to an increase in the unit cell volume that results in an increased TC as large as TC = 45 K compared to TC = 29.5 K for bulk MnSi crystals. The epitaxially induced tensile stress in the MnSi thin films creates an easy-plane uniaxial anisotropy. The magnetoelastic coefficient was obtained from superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry measurements combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The experimental value agrees with the coefficient determined from density functional calculations, which supports the conclusion that the uniaxial anisotropy originates from the magnetoelastic coupling. Interfacial roughness obscured the magnetic structure of the SPE films, which motivated the search for a better method of film growth. MBE grown films displayed much lower interfacial roughness that enabled a determination of the magnetic structure using SQUID and polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR). Out-of-plane magnetic field measurements on MBE grown MnSi(111) thin films on Si(111) substrates show the formation of a helical conical phase with a wavelength of 2?/Q = 13.9 ± 0.1 nm. The presence of both left-handed and right-handed magnetic chiralities is found to be due to the existence of inversion domains that result from the non-centrosymmetric crystal structure of MnSi. The magnetic frustration created at the domain boundaries explains an observed glassy behaviour in the magnetic response of the films. PNR and SQUID measurements of MnSi thin films performed in an in-plane magnetic field show a complex magnetic behaviour. Experimental results combined with theoretical results obtained from a Dzyaloshinskii model with an added easy-plane uniaxial anisotropy reveals the existence of numerous magnetic modulated states that do not exist in bulk MnSi. It is demonstrated in this thesis that modulated chiral magnetic states can be investigated with epitaxially grown MnSi(111) thin films on insulating Si substrates, which offers opportunities to investigate spin-dependent transport in chiral magnetic heterostructures based on this system.

This paper proposes an evaluation of one of the wires with the largest number of technical complaints notified to ANVISA, the suture of polypropylene, which is used in various surgical procedures which require inert mechanical support to the tissue and thus a substantive assessment of the nature physical chemistry of the material used in commercial samples is important to guide a process of health certification in order to minimize the risk to patients. The polypropylene suture was used as the analysis model, being selected the surgical wire number 0 (zero) to 75cm long; 4 samples of polypropylene sutures were selected according to the pattern of notifications received by the area of technical surveillance of ANVISA as a model for the implementation of the testing of X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning with EDS mapping by electron microscopy, FTIR, atomic force microscopy, thermal analysis and mechanical testing. The results presented demonstrated distinct profiles on the morphological and mechanical suture wires of selected aspects, prompting the construction of a set of analyzes of those currently recommended for the registration of these products, as well as the establishment of a certification process that would be done by harmonizing testing parameters morphological and mechanical characterization of the suture capable of ensuring a greater homogeneity in the commercially available suture threads.

O potencial evocado visual (PEV) permite avaliar a função e integridade das estruturas corticais e subcorticais da via visual. Este exame é realizado cotidianamente nos laboratórios de neurofisiologia, auxiliando o esclarecimento de diferentes tipos de acometimentos da visão, seja por doença ou traumatismos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver um protótipo para o monitoramento do PEV para avaliação da integridade das vias visuais durante cirurgias neurofisiológicas. Foram realizadas várias etapas para o desenvolvimento do protótipo do dispositivo ocular: simulação computacional; estudo das características do olho humano; prototipagem rápida; caracterização do Biopolímero ácido polilático (PLA) utilizado na prototipagem; desenvolvimento de um protótipo de dispositivo ocular com sistema de iluminação integrado por LEDs a realização dos testes de PEV com o protótipo desenvolvido.

The PLA used in the prototype for the development of parts of the device eye was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), these results showed that the rapid prototyping did not change the physical-chemical and morphological PLA. The computer simulation provides appropriate parameters for the development of ocular device that allowed greater efficiency in the assembly of electronic circuit. The results of ENP tests were performed in different patients, with closed eyes and have shown promise for use in anesthetized patients.

[ES] La normativa ambiental potencia la revalorización de los residuos industriales y motiva su utilización como materias primas para la obtención de nuevos materiales útiles, en lugar de que dichos residuos sean depositados en rellenos, que a la postre pueden generar pasivos ambientales. Dentro de este contexto se planificó la síntesis de la zeolita NaP1 código GIS, de amplia utilización en el campo ambiental para la descontaminación de aguas residuales, particularmente polutas con metales pesados y, la síntesis de la zeolita A código LTA, con aplicaciones en la industria de detergentes en reemplazo de los fosfatos, causantes de acelerar la eutrofización del agua de lagos; esto utilizando como materia prima los residuos industriales provenientes de los procesos y operaciones unitarias del pasivado del aluminio por oxidación electrolítica anódica. La presente investigación se enfoca en la recuperación indirecta del aluminio presente en los residuos industriales de anodizado de aluminio, transfiriéndolo a la estructura cristalina de las zeolitas. El residuo contiene elevadas concentraciones de aluminio, tal como lo prueban los resultados obtenidos mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido SEM (38.9% - 40.42%) y por espectroscopia de absorción atómica con llama AAS (37.16 g/100g); pero es pobre en contenido de silicio (0.93% - 0.74%) determinado por SEM y 1.83 g/100g determinado por AAS. Además, el residuo de anodizado de aluminio contiene concentraciones menores de cationes alcalinos y alcalinotérreos. El contenido de humedad del lodo es de 69.84% (n=28) y su pH cae en el rango 7.7 a 8.3 (1:5 w/v), que lo hace ligeramente alcalino. Se observó que la relación molar Si/Al es significativamente menor que la unidad, de lo cual se infiere que los residuos industriales tal como salen de la planta de tratamiento, no se pueden utilizar para la síntesis de zeolitas. La caracterización de los residuos industriales deshidratados a 100°C por 4 y 24 horas mediante microscopia electrónica de barrido (SEM) y difracción de rayos-X muestran un material básicamente amorfo, sin morfología externa apreciable. La composición fisicoquímica en términos del contenido de aluminio en los lodos de anodizado, permite plantear la recuperación del aluminio y cationes a través de la síntesis de zeolitas, utilizando como materia prima el residuo industrial, enriquecido con silicio proveniente de fuentes externas. Así para sintetizar la zeolita NaP1, código GIS, se enriqueció el lodo de anodizado con silicio proveniente de una solución de silicato de sodio grado analítico. Con la finalidad de identificar la concentración a la que se tiene los mejores resultados, se utilizó como agente de mineralización soluciones de NaOH en concentraciones 0.5M; 1.0M; 1.5M; 2.0M; 2.5M y 3.0M. Se instrumentó el método hidrotermal de síntesis a una temperatura constante de 100°C y 48 horas de tiempo de reacción, utilizando los residuos industriales húmedos. Los materiales obtenidos a las diferentes condiciones de síntesis se han caracterizado mediante difracción de rayos-X y SEM. Así, las concentraciones 1.5M, 2.0M, 2.5M y 3.0M del agente de mineralización NaOH conducen a la síntesis de la zeolita NaP1 código GIS. Sin embargo, el producto obtenido utilizando como agente de mineralización NaOH 1.5M presenta cristales con morfología externa muy bien definida, en forma de esferas de tamaño homogéneo. Este material presenta una relación molar Si/Al de 2.44 y una fórmula teórica 0.98Na2O•Al2O3•4.88SiO2•yH2O. Los materiales obtenidos con concentraciones más altas del agente de mineralización, aun presentando un difractograma de rayos-X correspondiente a la zeolita NaP1, en el microscopio electrónico muestran cristales poco formados y de tamaños muy diferentes. De esto se infiere que el agente de mineralización NaOH 1.5M presenta los mejores resultados en términos de morfología. Utilizando como fuente de enriquecimiento de silicio el silicato de sodio comercial, se sintetizó la zeoli / [CA] La normativa ambiental potència la revaloració dels residus industrials i motiva la seua utilització com a matèries primeres per a l'obtenció de nous materials útils, en lloc que aquests residus siguen depositats en farciments, que fet i fet poden generar passius ambientals. Dins d'aquest context es va planificar la síntesi de la zeolita NaP1 codi GIS, d'àmplia utilització en el camp ambiental per a la descontaminació d'aigües residuals, particularment contaminades amb metalls pesants i, la síntesi de la zeolita A codi LTA, amb aplicacions en la indústria de detergents en reemplaçament dels fosfats, causants d'accelerar l'eutrofització de l'aigua de llacs; això utilitzant com a matèria primera els residus industrials provinents dels processos i operacions unitàries del passivat de l'alumini per oxidació electrolítica anòdica. La present investigació s'enfoca en la recuperació indirecta de l'alumini present en els residus industrials d'anoditzat d'alumini, transferint-ho a l'estructura cristal·lina de les zeolites. El residu conté elevades concentracions d'alumini, tal com ho proven els resultats obtinguts mitjançant microscòpia electrònica d'escombratge SEM (38.9% - 40.42%) i per espectroscòpia d'absorció atòmica amb flama AAS (37.16 g/100g); però és pobre en contingut de silici (0.93% - 0.74%) determinat per SEM i 1.83 g/*100g determinat per AAS. A més, el residu d'anoditzat d'alumini conté concentracions menors de cations alcalins i alcalinoterris. El contingut d'humitat del llot és de 69.84% (n=28) i el seu pH cau en el rang 7.7 a 8.3 (1:5 w/v), que ho fa lleugerament alcalí. Es va observar que la relació molar Si/A l'és significativament menor que la unitat, de la qual cosa s'infereix que els residus industrials tal com ixen de la planta de tractament, no es poden utilitzar per a la síntesi de zeolites. La caracterització dels residus industrials deshidratats a 100 °C per 4 i 24 hores mitjançant microscòpia electrònica d'escombratge (SEM) i difracció de raigs-X mostren un materials bàsicament amorfs, sense morfologia externa apreciable. La composició fisicoquímica en termes del contingut d'alumini en els llots d'anoditzat, permet plantejar la recuperació de l'alumini i cations a través de la síntesi de zeolites, utilitzant com a matèria primera el residu industrial, enriquit amb silici provinent de fonts externes. Així per a sintetitzar la zeolita NaP1, codi GIS, es va enriquir el llot d'anoditzat amb silici provinent d'una solució de silicat de sodi grau analític. Amb la finalitat d'identificar la concentració a la qual es té els millors resultats, es va utilitzar com a agent de mineralització soluciones de NaOH en concentracions 0.5M; 1.0M; 1.5M; 2.0M; 2.5M i 3.0M. Es va instrumentar el mètode hidrotermal de síntesi a una temperatura constant de 100 °C i 48 hores de temps de reacció, utilitzant els residus industrials humits. Els materials obtinguts a les diferents condicions de síntesis s'han caracteritzat mitjançant difracció de raigs-X i SEM. Així, les concentracions 1.5M, 2.0M, 2.5M i 3.0M de l'agent de mineralització NaOH condueixen a la síntesi de la zeolita NaP1 codi GIS. No obstant això, el producte obtingut utilitzant com a agent de mineralització NaOH 1.5M presenta cristalls amb morfologia externa molt ben definida, en forma d'esferes de grandària homogènia. Aquest material presenta una relació molar Si/Al de 2.44 i una fórmula teòrica 0.98Na2O•Al2O3•4.88SiO2•yH2O. Els materials obtinguts amb concentracions més altes de l'agent de mineralització, encara presentant un difractograma de raigs-X corresponent a la zeolita NaP1, en el microscopi electrònic mostren cristalls poc formats i de grandàries molt diferents. D'això s'infereix que l'agent de mineralització NaOH 1.5M presenta els millors resultats en termes de morfologia. Utilitzant com a font d'enriquiment de silici el silicat de sodi comercial, es va sintetitzar la zeolita Linde Tipus A, Codi estructural HISSA (Associació International de zeolite / [EN] Environmental regulations promote the revaluation of industrial waste and encourage its use as raw materials to obtain new valuable materials, instead of such waste being deposited in landfills, which can ultimately generate environmental liabilities. Within this context, the synthesis of the GIS code NaP1 zeolite, widely used in the environmental field for the decontamination of wastewater, particularly polluted with heavy metals, and the synthesis of the LTA code zeolite A, with applications in industry. detergents to replace phosphates, which cause the eutrophication of lake water to accelerate, were planned using as raw material the industrial residues from the processes and unitary operations of aluminum passivation by anodic electrolytic oxidation. This research focuses on the indirect recovery of aluminum present in industrial waste from aluminum anodizing, transferring it to the crystalline structure of zeolites. The residue contains high concentrations of aluminum, as proven by the results obtained by scanning electron microscopy SEM (38.9% - 40.42%) and by atomic absorption spectroscopy with AAS flame (37.16 g/100g); but it is poor in silicon content (0.93% - 0.74%) determined by SEM and 1.83 g/100g determined by AAS. In addition, the aluminum anodizing residue contains lower concentrations of alkali and alkaline earth cations. The moisture content of the mud is 69.84% (n=28) and its pH falls in the range of 7.7 to 8.3 (1:5 w/v), which makes it slightly alkaline. It was observed that the Si/Al molar ratio is significantly less than unity, from which it is inferred that industrial waste as it leaves the treatment plant has to be modified to be used for the synthesis of zeolites. SEM and X-ray diffraction characterization of the aluminum-containing industrial waste dehydrated at 100°C for 4 and 24 hours show basically amorphous materials without appreciable external morphology. The physicochemical composition in terms of the aluminum content in the anodizing sludge allows us to propose the recovery of aluminum through the synthesis of zeolites, using industrial waste as raw material, and enriching it with silicon from external sources. Thus, to synthesize the zeolite NaP1, code GIS, the anodizing sludge was enriched with silicon from an analytical grade sodium silicate solution. To identify the concentration at which the best results are obtained, NaOH solutions at 0.5M concentrations were used as mineralization agents; 1.0M; 1.5M; 2.0M; 2.5M and 3.0M. The hydrothermal synthesis method was implemented at a constant temperature of 100°C and 48 hours of reaction time, using wet industrial waste. The materials obtained at the different synthesis conditions were characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM. Thus, concentrations of 1.5M, 2.0M, 2.5M, and 3.0M of the mineralizing agent NaOH lead to the synthesis of the zeolite NaP1 code GIS. However, the product obtained using 1.5M NaOH as the mineralization agent presents crystals with a very well-defined external morphology in the form of spheres of homogeneous size. This material has a Si/Al molar ratio of 2.44 and a theoretical formula of 0.98Na2O•Al2O3•4.88SiO2•yH2O. The materials obtained with higher concentrations of the mineralization agent, even presenting an X-ray diffractogram corresponding to zeolite NaP1, show poorly formed crystals of very different sizes. From this, it is inferred that the 1.5M NaOH mineralization agent presents the best results in terms of morphology. Using commercial sodium silicate as the source of silicon enrichment, the Linde Type A zeolite, structural code IZA (International Zeolite Association) LTA, was synthesized. This product is obtained with a weight ratio of wet industrial residue to commercial sodium silicate of 2.6 to 1, using 1.5M NaOH as a mineralization agent at 85°C and a reaction time of 4 hours, resulting in a zeolite A code LTA with Si/Al molar ratio, 1.04 (sample 1A) and Si/Al 1.05 (sample 2A).

Uma alternativa para esse problema é a utilização de polímeros biodegradáveis ou a produção de blendas a partir destes polímeros. Neste trabalho, foram preparadas blendas de poli (ácido lático) - PLA, poli (caprolactona) - PCL, com três copolímeros diferentes: EMA, E-GMA e o EMAGMA que são copolímeros de etileno-acrilato de metila, etileno-metacrilato de glicidila e o terpolímero etileno-acrilato de metila-metacrilato de glicidila, respectivamente. As composições utilizadas para as blendas foram as seguintes: PLA/PCL (90/10), PLA/PCL (80/20), PLA/Copolímeros (90/10) e PLA/PCL/Copolímeros (80/10/10). Estas foram preparadas por fusão em uma extrusora de rosca dupla corrotativa e, em seguida, moldadas por injeção sob a forma de corpos de prova de tração, impacto e HDT. Todas as composições foram caracterizadas por: ensaios mecânicos de tração e impacto, temperatura de distorção térmica - HDT, calorimetria exploratória diferencial - DSC, difração de raios X - DRX, análise térmica dinâmica-mecânica - DMTA, espectroscopia na região do infravermelho por transformada de Fourier - FTIR, microscopia eletrônica de varredura - MEV, reometria de torque, ensaio reológico e reometria capilar. As propriedades mecânicas apresentaram redução nos valores do módulo e da resistência à tração e um aumento no alongamento e na resistência ao impacto para todas as composições quando comparadas com o PLA puro, com destaque para as composições que continham o copolímero EMA-GMA. A HDT não apresentou mudanças significativas para as diferentes composições em comparação com o PLA puro. O comportamento térmico e termomecânico foi avaliado por DSC e por DMTA e foi possível observar a transição térmica das blendas. Por DRX foi possível observar as fases cristalinas das blendas de PLA. A morfologia da superfície de fratura observada por MEV ilustrou que ocorreram mudanças significativas em função da composição. Os resultados de reometria de torque não apresentaram mudanças significativas no comportamento do PLA, enquanto que os resultados obtidos no ensaio reológico ilustraram aumento no módulo de armazenamento em todas as composições. A partir do ensaio de reometria capilar foi visto que houve redução da viscosidade aparente e da tensão de cisalhamento sob altas taxas de cisalhamento para todas as composições. / The polymers derived from petroleum have caused environmental impacts due to improper disposal. An alternative to this problem is the use of biodegradable polymers or blends production from these polymers. In this work, blends of poly (lactic acid) - PLA, poly (-caprolactone) - PCL, were prepared with three different copolymers: EMA, E-GMA and EMA-GMA are copolymers the ethylene-methyl acrylate, ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate and terpolymer ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate respectively. The compositions used in the blends were as follows: PLA/PCL (90/10) PLA/PCL (80/20) PLA/ Copolymer (90/10) and PLA/PCL/Copolymer (80/10/10). These were prepared by melting in an extruder twin screw co-rotating and then injection molded in the form of specimens tensile, impact and HDT. All compositions were characterized by: mechanical tensile and impact , heat distortion temperature - HDT, differential scanning calorimetry - DSC, X-ray diffraction - XRD, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis – DMTA, spectroscopy in the infrared region by transform Fourier - FTIR, scanning electron microscopy - SEM, torque rheometer, rheological testing and capillary rheometer. The mechanical properties showed reduced values of modulus and tensile strength and an increase in elongation and impact resistance for all compositions when compared with pure PLA, especially for compositions containing copolymer EMA-GMA. The HDT showed no significant changes for the different compositions compared with pure PLA. The thermal and thermomechanical behavior was evaluated by DSC and DMTA and it was possible to observe the thermal transition of the blends. XRD was possible to observe the crystalline phases of the blends of PLA. The morphology of the fracture surface was observed by SEM illustrated that significant changes as a function of composition. The torque rheometer results showed no significant change in the behavior of PLA, while the rheological test results illustrate the increase in storage modulus in all compositions. From the test capillary rheometer was seen that there was a reduction in the apparent viscosity and shear stress at high shear rates for all compositions.
