No entanto, as descri??es de suas propriedades diel?tricas ainda s?o muito escassas. Foi preparado tr?s tipos de amostras a partir da moagem de alta energia (24h, 48h e 72h) dos precursores de: Nb2O5, ?-Fe e H2O. Depois do processo de moagem, os p?s resultantes da moagem passaram pelo processo de calcina??o por 4 horas a 1300?C. O tempo de calcina??o foi o mesmo para todas.

However, a full description of your dielectric properties is still scarceness so. By using a high energy mill, they were prepared three kinds of samples (24, 48 and 72 hours) of the precursors of: Nb2O5, a-Fe e H2O. After milling process, the resultant powders were to calcinated for precisely 4 hours and in a temperature of 1 300 celsius. We used a hydraulic press about 1570 Kgf to produce the samples. Next, the samples were calcinated during a time considered the same for all of them and underwent to dielectric characterization. In the way to characterize the samples, the samples were submitted to X rays, scanning electronic microscopy and X rays uorescence. Results have been shown that samples milling by 24 hours, has 94.48% of FeNbO4 and 5.52% of Fe2O3, by 48h has 97.82% of FeNbO4 and 2,18% de Fe2O3, and by 72h has 93,68% of FeNbO4 and 6.32% of Fe2O3. Dielectric properties were analyzed through I-V characteristic curves and complex dielectric permitivity against frequency. The characteristic curves exhibited semiconductors electronic devices behave like thyristor class. Furthermore, the present work constitutes a fully new route to sintering iron niobate. The results indicate that the samples have great potential for application in electronic devices.

The perovskites will be portrayed in this work, because they present physicochemical stability and well defined specific properties. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the synthesis of perovskites by the combustion method, performing the characterization of the samples by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Dispersive Energy Spectroscopy EDX or EDS) and X-ray Fluorescence. The evolution of the CaZrO3 crystallization process and the composition of the samples were accompanied by X-ray diffraction. The obtained X-ray patterns were refined with the Rietveld method. Scanning electron microscopes were used to identify the presence of defects and morphology of the samples. The characterization methods showed structural differences in the samples in function of the variation of the composition of the system. The results indicate a transition from deep defects to shallow defects due to the presence of secondary phases in the system.

Assim, cada vez mais, estas suportam as condi??es severas impostas pelo processo de usinagem. Entretanto, por melhor que estejam definidos os par?metros de corte adotados, a ferramenta ir? sofrer desgaste devido ?s solicita??es tribol?gicas do sistema e ter? que ser substitu?da, interrompendo a produ??o. Isto motivou o processo de revestimentos das mesmas com filmes duros que conferem ?s ferramentas propriedades que, somadas ?s do material do seu substrato, prolongam sua vida ?til. Estes revestimentos, geralmente s?o realizados de maneira est?tica, resultando na necessidade de mais de um tratamento de deposi??o para que um inserto seja completamente revestido. T?cnicas de deposi??o por plasma como ASPN (Nitreta??o ? Plasma em Tela Ativa) tem sido bem aceitas industrialmente por conseguirem resolver estes inconvenientes. A Nitreta??o a Plasma em Gaiola Cat?dica (CCPN), desenvolvida com base na ASPN, promovem melhor ades?o do revestimento no substrato sem a necessidade de uma limpeza pr?via r?gida e ainda permitem bom controle das fases depositadas pela produ??o de ?ons e, consequentemente, do efeito de c?todo oco. Por?m esta t?cnica ainda mant?m a limita??o de n?o permitir a aplica??o tridimensional do revestimento, ou seja, em todas as superf?cies da amostra, pr?tica comumente aplicada a insertos de metal duro para usinagem. Este trabalho tem por objetivo propor uma nova forma de deposi??o de revestimentos para estas ferramentas pela aplica??o da t?cnica de Nitreta??o a Plasma em Gaiola Cat?dica Rotat?ria (RCCPN). Esta nova t?cnica de deposi??o, baseada na CCPN, possibilita que todas as faces da amostra recebam o filme durante o mesmo tratamento, devido ? rota??o da gaiola em torno do eixo do reator, o que promove maior uniformidade ? camada depositada, al?m de permitir o tratamento em lotes de pe?as. Para tanto, insertos de metal duro para torneamento foram revestidos por pela t?cnica RCCPN, mantendo-se corrente, tens?o, press?o e propor??o dos gases fixos, e variando-se apenas o tempo do tratamento. Estes, foram conduzidos a ensaios de torneamento, bem como de caracteriza??o por microdureza Vickers, DRX com incid?ncia rasante e MEV/EDS para avalia??o das propriedades mec?nicas do revestimento e sua ades?o ao substrato, bem com uniformidade do filme depositado. Como resultado foi poss?vel obter camadas dos filmes depositados mais uniformes do que as verificadas em tratamento com CCPN, com valores de dureza 40% maiores do que as medidas em insertos sem revestimentos. / The demand for increased production in machining industry has led to research that promote the improvement of cutting tools performance. Thus, increasingly, they support the harsh conditions imposed by the machining process. However, as good as the adopted cutting parameters are set, the tool will wear out due to tribological applications of the system and will need replacement, interrupting production. This motivated the coating process of the cutting tools with films that confer them properties that, together with the material of its substrate, extends its useful life. Such coatings are generally performed in a static manner, resulting in the need for more than one deposition treatment to assure that an insert is completely coated.Plasma deposition techniques as ASPN (Active Screen Plasma Nitriding) solve these drawbacks and still allow optimal control of deposited phases. The Cathodic Cage Plasma Nitriding (CCPN) process, developed based on ASPN, promotes better adhesion of the coating to the substrate without the need for pre-cleaning and besides allow good control of the deposited phases for the production of ions and, consequently, the hollow cathode effect. But this technique still has the limitation of not allowing the tridimentional application of the coating on all surfaces of the sample, a practice commonly applied to carbide inserts for machining process. This research aims to propose a new way of coating deposition to these tools by the application of Rotary Cathodic Cage Plasma Nitriding (RCCPN). This novel deposition technique based on CCPN, enables all sample surfaces to receive the film during the same treatment, due to rotation of cage around the reactor axis, which promotes better uniformity to the deposited layer, besides it enables the treatment in batches. Therefore, cemented carbide inserts were coated by RCCPN process, keeping current, voltage, pressure, and proportion of gas fixed and varying only the treatment time. These were led to turning tests, as well as characterization by microhardness Vickers, XRD with oblique incidence angle and SEM/EDS to evaluate the mechanical properties of the coating and its adhesion to the substrate, as well as the uniformity of deposited film. As a result it was possible to obtain layers of more uniform deposited films than those observed in CCPN treatment, with hardness values 40% higher that the measures in uncoated inserts.

In recent years, the results have been obtained with the use of waste and vegetable fibers, the dismemberment of the concept of a material can be called composite. A polyester resin composite (orthophthalic and terephthalic) composite and filler of wood produced in woodworking was obtained and studied. The processes of obtaining composites and a characterization of mechanical, thermal and physical properties in composite samples with a more specific fraction of 10, 20 and 30% were studied for three different granulometries, totaling six formulations for percentages. However, a formulation with 20% was chosen, because with that percentage already had a saturation of the mixture. The tests carried out for tensile, flexural, thermal, water absorption, density, biodegradation, environmental degradation and MEV tests. The composites obtained in all the studied formulations had lower mechanical resistance than the matrix, however it did not make it impossible to use them in applications where no significant efforts are required. In terms of thermal resistance or composite proposed to competitive with a resin matrix, having somewhat lower behavior. As expected the composites presented higher water absorption indices when compared to the polymer matrices. The apparent density of the composites does not present significant variation in relation to the used dimensions. It has been demonstrated, therefore, that the residues aggregated to the resin have a filling charge function. The composite was used for the manufacture of seat tops, demonstrating its feasibility of application in the fabrication of structures for low mechanical stresses.

Once purified, the lectin, named AplyL-1, showed a single peptide chain with a molecular of weight 40 kDa and binding specificity for D-galactose, D-galactosamine and lactose. The AplyL1 hemagglutinating activity was independent of bivalent ions and was not changed in basic conditions (pH > 7.0), but significantly reduced when submitted into acid conditions (pH <7.0). Thermal stability tests showed that AplyL-1 gradually loses its hemagglutinating activity at 40 ?C and no longer displays any activity at 100 ?C. AplyL-1 has been tested against several tumour cell lines, and howed significantly cytotoxic activity (up to 10 ?g/mL) only for human cervical adenocarcinoma cell line (HeLa). For the 3T3 normal cell line no cytotoxic activity was seen. In tests performed with Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania amazonensis, AplyL-1 exhibited the ability to agglutinate only the species L. amazonensis (at a concentration 77.5 ?g/mL). The results show that this new binding galactose derivatives lectin, could be important to development of new products with biotechnological and phylogenetic significance.

The cashew nut is composed of thee main parts: peel, almond, and a brown film known as integument (CNI). Crude vegetable oils have different constituents which are undesirable in the end product, causing oil oxidation. Factors such as oxidative degradation are extremely important to increase the shelf life of oils and fats. This research was developed aiming to: identify and isolate different types of secondary metabolites from the integument; develop and optimize a methodology for refining canola and sunflower oils; and evaluate the antioxidant potential of the integument extract in oxidative stability (OS) of vegetable oils. The phytochemical approach showed that the integument is rich in various metabolites such as alkaloids, ammonium salts, phenolic compounds (tannins). The oils were analyzed in four groups of samples: industrial oil, crude oil, degummed oil, and neutralized oil. The values of acidity contente (AV) obtained for the canola and sunflower neutralized oils were lower than the ones for industrial oils, as well as for iodine index (II) and peroxide index (PV). The results showed that the adopted refining process resulted in na oil with similar properties of the industrial one and in accordance with Brazilian standards. The accelerated oxidation test, Schaal Oven Test, and the AV, PV, especific absorty (EA) analysis, at 232 and 270nm, and OS (PetroOxy) were performed and it was observed that the addition of the natural antioxidants in vegetable oils ensured oxidative stability after accelerated aging in stove. It is also evident that the canola oil is more stable and resistant to long periods of storage. The use of integument methanolic extracts (IME) provided better results for AV, PV, DC in relation to the control and the synthetic antioxidante (BHA). The induction period measured by PetrOxy was increased with the addition of natural antioxidants from CNI, demonstrating that this product presents antioxidant action for vegetable oils, allowing it?s use as a natural bioactive compound.

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre o comportamento reol?gico de sistemas pol?mero - tensoativo para utiliza??o como aditivos viscosificantes em fluidos base ?gua. Os aditivos utilizados foram os pol?meros goma xantana (GX) e poliacrilamida (PAC) e os tensoativos sab?o base (ani?nico) e cetremida (cati?nico). Os sistemas foram submetidos ? caracteriza??o reol?gica em diversas concentra??es de tensoativo a uma concentra??o fixa de pol?mero. A caracteriza??o reol?gica foi realizada atrav?s de ensaios de reologia, utilizando sistema de cilindros coaxiais, onde se obteve as curvas de fluxo e curvas de viscosidade para cada sistema. A partir das curvas geradas foi aplicado o modelo matem?tico que melhor representou cada sistema bem como os par?metros desse modelo. Em todos os sistemas o modelo de Herschel-Bulkley foi o que melhor representou o comportamento, podendo classific?-los como pl?sticos (pseudopl?sticos com limite de escoamento). A partir da caracteriza??o reol?gica, foi poss?vel determinar e utilizar as concentra??es que apresentaram os maiores valores de viscosidades, que foram: poliacrilamida com 400 ppm de sab?o base e poliacrilamida com 400 ppm de cetremida. A partir das concentra??es escolhidas foram formulados 4 (quatro) fluidos modificando apenas do aditivo viscosificante, o Fluido A (GX), Fluido B (PAC), Fluido C (PAC+400 ppm Sab?o Base) e Fluido D (PAC+400 ppm cetremida). Em seguida, foram realizados ensaios reol?gicos com aux?lio de um viscos?metro de campo com os fluidos formulados. Apesar das solu??es pol?mero - tensoativo apresentarem melhores resultados reol?gicos, quando adicionados ao fluido de perfura??o com os outros aditivos da formula??o base, tiveram uma queda substancial do potencial viscosificante, fato que pode ser explicado pela interfer?ncia dos sais NaCl e KCl na na hidrata??o do pol?mero Poliacrilamida. Assim o Fluido A (GX) apresentou os melhores resultados reol?gicos. / The rheological behavior of drilling fluids is essential to determine the best composition and treatments to be applied to fluids. This project presents a study of the rheological behavior of Polymer - Surfactant systems for use such as viscosifying additives in the base fluid water. The additives used were polymers Xanthan Gum (GX) and polyacrylamide (PAC) and the surfactants Soap Base (anionic) and Cetremid (cationic). The systems were subjected to rheological characterization of various surfactant concentrations at fixed polymer concentration. The rheological characterization was performed using rheology testing system using coaxial cylinders, where it obtained the flow curves, viscosity curves for each system. From the generated curves were applied mathematical model best represented the systems as well as the parameters of this model. In all systems the model of Herschel-Bulkley was best represented the behavior and can classify them as Plastics (Pseudoplastic with yield strength). From the rheological characterization, it was possible to determine and use concentrations with the highest viscosity values, which were Polyacrylamide with 400 ppm soap base and polyacrylamide with 400 ppm Cetremide. From the chosen concentrations were made three (3) fluids modifying only the viscosifying additive, the Fluid A (XG), Fluid B (PAC), Fluid C (PAC + 400ppm Soap Base), and Fluid D (PAC + Cetremide 400 ppm). Then rheological test was carried out with the aid of a field viscometer with the formulated fluids. Despite the Polymer - Surfactant solutions deliver better rheological results when added to the drilling fluid with other additives of the base formulation, had a substantial fall of viscosifying potential, which can be explained by the interference of NaCl and KCl salts in the polyacrylamide hidratation. So Fluid A (XG) showed the best results rheology.

Thus, this work presents the study and the characterization of a composite material, aimed at the manufacture of an automotive bumper absorber. This material was manufactured with petroleum based polyurethane (PU) matrix resin and tire residue loading, from the retread process. Five formulations with different percentages of tire residue (0%, 30%, 45%, 70% and 100%) were obtained and characterized with respect to their mechanical and thermal properties, moisture absorption, density and degradation by exposure to the elements. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Dispersive Energy Spectroscopy (EDS) tests were also performed on the material so that its microstructure could be observed (distribution of residues in the matrix, voids, imperfections and impurities) and to identify the chemical elements present , respectively. As a general result, the composites presented an increase in their density as the percentage of tire residue increased, as well as the thermal conductivity. As for the mechanical properties, the formulation with the highest tensile, flexural and compression strength was 45% and the one with the highest impact strength was 100%. Regarding the resistance to aging the formulation of 100% was the one that obtained better performance. A bumper absorber was manufactured with the 45% formulation, which presented a mass increase of 28.03%, demonstrating the feasibility of manufacturing this automotive component.

The wide interest in these compounds lies in their excellent optical properties, which form the basis of their use as phosphors, materials for lasers, and scintillation detectors among others. The ultrasonic pyrolysis spray technique is a technique of continuous production of single-step powders, easy to control parameters and although it is a widely used methodology, there are no references of its use for the production of calcium molybdates and with rare earth doping. In this study, the preparation of pure calcium molybdate (CaMoO4) particles with different mole percentages of 1%, 2% and 4% of the rare earths Eu+3, Tb+ 3 , Tm+ 3, and their respective mixtures (TR) were studied from the ultrasonic pyrolysis spray technique.

The materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques, micro Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible optical spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with field emission electron gun and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results shown that the ultrasonic pyrolysis spray technique produced high purity material in the nano and micro dimensions with spherical morphology. With the addition of rare earths with different percentages of 1%, 2% and 4% mol and their mixture in the structure of CaMoO4, it was possible to observe the photoluminescence emissions characteristic of rare earths and to obtain materials with white emissions for the samples of CaMoO4 with 2% and 4% TR.
