Les recherches actuelles dans le domaine des composites montrent l'utilisation croissante de matrices biodégradables et/ou de renforts fibreux naturels issus de ressources renouvelables. Néanmoins, une étape de compatibilisation fibres/matrice est très souvent nécessaire. Dans cette thèse, nous avons exploré une méthode physique : le traitement corona. Son impact sur les propriétés physicochimiques de différentes fibres a été étudié par XPS, mesure d'angle de contact et MEB. Il ressort qu'il entraîne principalement une oxydation de surface et une augmentation de sa rugosité. Nous avons évalué le comportement mécanique de composites, préparés par extrusion à partir de fibres de chanvre ou miscanthus et de matrices polypropylène (PP) ou acide polylactique (PLA). L'incorporation de renforts accroît la rigidité des matériaux et le transfert de contrainte et leur traitement permet d'obtenir des caractéristiques encore supérieures en raison d'un ancrage mécanique accru. Les valeurs optimales sont obtenues pour un taux massique de fibres de l'ordre de 20%. Les propriétés thermiques et thermomécaniques des composites ont été caractérisées par ATG, DMA et DSC. La stabilité thermique des matériaux est abaissée après incorporation de renforts bruts mais très largement améliorée (+ 15-20°C) après traitement des fibres. Dans certaines conditions, les fibres agissent comme des agents nucléants qui influent sur le processus de cristallisation et le taux de cristallinité. Le traitement des fibres par corona ne permet pas de retarder la dégradation des matériaux au cours d'un vieillissement accéléré en milieu humide et l'évolution des propriétés thermomécaniques est plus prononcée pour les matériaux à base de PLA plus hydrophile / The field of composites materials shows increasing use of biodegradable matrices and / or natural reinforcements from renewable resources. Nevertheless, a compatibilization step between fiber and matrix is necessary. In this PhD study, we have explored a physical method: corona treatment. Its impact on the physicochemical properties of different fibres has been studied by XPS, contact angle measurement and SEM. It appears that it mainly involves surface oxidation and roughness increase. We have also evaluated the mechanical behaviour of composites, prepared by extrusion from hemp or miscanthus fibres and polypropylene (PP) or polylactic acid (PLA) matrices. The incorporation of raw reinforcements increases the stiffness and the stress transfer. Composites based on treated fibres show better mechanical performances, resulting from an enhanced mechanical anchorage. The optimum values are obtained for 20% (wt) fibres content. The thermal and thermomechanical properties of composites have been characterized by TGA, DMA and DSC. The thermal stability of materials is reduced after incorporation of raw reinforcements but very much improved (+ 15 - 20 ° C) after treatment of fibres. Under certain conditions, the fibres act as nucleating agents that affect the crystallization process and crystallinity rate. The corona treatment of fibres does not delay the degradation of materials during an accelerated aging in humid environment and the evolution of the thermomechanical properties is more pronounced for PLA based materials because of its hydrophilic character.

Thesis (MEng) -- Stellenbosch University, 2014 / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The electrodynamics of arbitrary, point-to-plane electrospraying geometries, were investigated in this research both analytically and numerically. Electrospraying is the process during which particles of sizes in the nanometre range are simultaneously generated and charged by means of an applied electrostatic field. A high electrostatic potential is applied to a conductive capillary needle, which overcomes the force exerted by the liquid surface tension. One of the primary limitations of this process are corona discharges. The effect of corona discharges have not been studied quantitatively, even though it is frequently reported in the electrospraying literature. The main objective of this research was to understand the corona discharge thresholds associated with electrospraying. Previously, only one theoretical, and two empirical investigations studied this phenomenon, over a time period of approximately forty years. It was clear that by better understanding these thresholds, electrospraying could be applied much more effectively. A corona discharge threshold model is proposed, using either a numerical or analytical model for the calculation of polarization fields. When compared with the experimental results of other researchers, both these two models have average relative percentage errors of approximately 15%. These are the first models proposed in the literature for the calculation of electrospraying corona thresholds. A new method to determine surface tension using electrospraying is described theoretically. In addition to this method, the calculation of corona discharge thresholds have various applications. For example, the dynamics of electrostatic ion thrusters are much better described, powder production by means of electrospraying can be optimised, and pattern generation using pulsed electrospraying cone-jets can be optimised as well. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die elektrodinamika van arbitrêre, punt-tot-vlak elektrosproei geometrieë was beide analities en numeries ondersoek in hierdie tesis. Dit is die proses waartydens nanodeeltjies gelyktydig gegenereer en elektrostaties gelaai word. Deur 'n hoë elektriese potensiaal aan te lê tot 'n geleidende kapillêr, is dit moontlik om die krag van die oppervlakte spanning te oorkom. Een van die primêre beperkings van elektrosproei is corona ontladings. Die effek van corona ontladings was nog nie kwantitatief bestudeer nie, selfs al word dit dikwels rapporteer in die elektrosproei literatuur. Die primêre doel van hierdie navorsing was om die corona ontlading drempels te verstaan wat geassosieer word met elektrosproei. In die verlede was daar nog net een teoretiese, en twee empiriese ondersoeke gewees wat hierdie verskynsel bestuur het, oor 'n tydperk van ongeveer veertig jaar. Dit was duidelik dat deur 'n beter begrip te hê van hierdie elektrosproei drempels, kan hierdie proses baie meer doeltreffend toegepas word. In hierdie tesis word 'n corona ontlading drempel model voorgestel, wat gebruik maak van 'n analitiese of numeriese model om die polarisasie velde te bereken. Wanneer vergelyk met die resultate van ander navorsers, het beide die modelle 'n gemiddelde relatiewe persentasie fout van ongeveer 15%. Hierdie is die eerste modelle wat voorgestel word vir die berekening van corona ontlading drempels. Deur gebruik te maak van elektrosproei, word 'n nuwe metode ook voorgestel om die oppervlakte spanning te bereken. In byvoeging tot hierdie, het die berekening van corona ontlading drempels vele ander toepassings. As 'n voorbeeld, die dinamika van elektrostatiese ioon stuwers word beter beskryf, en poeier produksie deur middel van elektrosproei kan optimeer word.

This thesis presents a new computationally efficient method for modelling the response of the solar corona to the release of energy. During impulsive heating events, the coronal temperature increases which leads to a downward heat flux into the transition region (TR). The plasma is unable to radiate this excess conductive heating and so the gas pressure increases locally. The resulting pressure gradient drives an upflow of dense material, creating an increase in the coronal density. This density increase is often called chromospheric evaporation. A process which is highly sensitive to the TR resolution in numerical simulations. If the resolution is not adequate, then the downward heat flux jumps over the TR and deposits the heat in the chromosphere, where it is radiated away. The outcome is that with an under-resolved TR, major errors occur in simulating the coronal density evolution. We address this problem by treating the lower transition region as a discontinuity that responds to changing coronal conditions through the imposition of a jump condition that is derived from an integrated form of energy conservation. In this thesis, it is shown that this method permits fast and accurate numerical solutions in both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional simulations. By modelling the TR with this appropriate jump condition, we remove the influence of poor numerical resolution and obtain the correct evaporative response to coronal heating, even when using resolutions that are compatible with multi-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations.

Issus de l'industrie de la microélectronique, les MEMS envahissent progressivement le marché avec des applications dans de nombreux domaines tels que l'aérospatiale, la médecine, l'industrie ou encore le grand public. Une des vocations de ces microstructures est de permettre le déploiement de réseaux de capteurs autonomes. Grâce à la miniaturisation, les systèmes deviennent de moins en moins consommateurs d'énergie et ceci permet de concevoir de nouvelles sources d'énergie basées sur la récupération de l'énergie ambiante (soleil, gradients de température,…). Il est par exemple possible de récupérer l'énergie des vibrations ambiantes à l'aide de systèmes piézoélectriques, électromagnétiques ou encore électrostatiques. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous concentrons sur l'étude de structures électrostatiques utilisant les électrets (diélectriques chargés électriquement). / Developed from the microelectronics industry, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) gradually invade the market with applications in many fields such as aerospace, medicine, industry or the general public. One of the purposes of these microstructures is to allow the deployment of autonomous sensor networks, that is to say a set of structures that can collect information from their environment, process, transmit and interact between them, without any human intervention. How to power these autonomous Microsystems? Use batteries… Unfortunately, the major flaw of batteries is their lifetimes, since it will be necessary to replace or to refill them after some months or some years. Actually, thanks to miniaturization, microsystems consume less and less energy, giving them the opportunity to harvest energy from their surrounding environment (sunlight, temperature gradients…). It is also possible to harvest energy directly from ambient vibration using piezoelectric, electromagnetic or electrostatic devices. In this mid-thesis work, we focus on the study of electrostatic structures using electret (electrically charged dielectrics). From the study of electrets to the fabrication and the optimization of electrostatic energy harvesters, we expose in this report, the results we obtained during this thesis.

In this investigation the study aims optimize the filtration operation. In order to obtain a greater retention of particulates. In this sense, fabric filter were analyzed, glass and polypropylene filter, while gas filtration. Cement was used as particulate material with grain sizes 8, 14 and 20μm, the corona chargering was added in the filtration of gas during the formation of dust cake. The tests were conduction in an attempt to understand this effect the electrostatic charge, improve and increase the service life of the filter media. Was necessary to adapt it to the equipment one system gas filtration, localized in Department of Chemical Engineering (DEQ) of Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), for receive the corona charged. The experiment was conducted from voltage of 0 to -2 kV test with a filtration rate of 10 cm/s, and the mass flow of 9 mg/s. With the tests done, it possible show that, with the application the corona chargering the dust cake changes. It can be that the particle size directly affects the filtration efficiency and the load, can increase the efficiency the collect to particulate and decrease pressure drop during filtration of gases. / Atualmente o controle da poluição industrial é essencial. Através da filtração, é possível remover os sólidos suspensos nos gases. Tem-se então a necessidade de métodos eficientes para filtração de gases a fim de reduzir a geração de resíduos e diminuir o consumo de energia. O presente estudo objetivou investigar o comportamento do material particulado, cimento e a influência do seu tamanho de partícula na formação da torta de filtração de gases, com e sem carregamento eletrostático. Foram analisados os aspectos do filtro com intuito de determinar e comparar suas características após as filtrações, definindo qual delas será mais adequada operacionalmente para este processo. Além destas investigações o estudo busca otimizar a operação de filtração. Para que se possa obter uma maior retenção de particulados. Neste sentido, foram analisados filtros de tecidos, de fibra de vidro e polipropileno, durante a filtração de gases. Utilizou-se o cimento como material particulado, com granulometrias de 8, 14 e 20μm, o carregamento corona foi adicionado na filtração durante a formação da torta de filtração. Os testes foram realizados na tentativa de compreender esses efeitos causados a partir de cargas eletrostáticas, objetivando melhorar e aumentar o tempo de vida útil dos meios filtrantes. Para isso adaptou-se um sistema de filtração de gases, existente no Departamento de Engenharia Química (DEQ) da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), para receber um carregador corona. Posteriormente determinou-se o ponto ótimo de operação a uma vazão mássica de 9 mg/s e velocidade de filtração de 10 cm/s, variando-se a tensão da unidade entre 0, e -2,0 kV. Através dos ensaios realizados foi possível observar que, com a aplicação da corrente corona, ocorreu uma alteração na formação da torta de filtração. Pode-se dizer que o tamanho da partícula afeta diretamente a eficiência da filtração e que a carga, pode aumentar a eficiência de coleta das partículas e diminuir a perda de carga durante a filtração de gases.

Passiflora é um exemplo de diversidade e complexidade floral. A característica mais marcante do gênero é a presença de uma corona de filamentos entre o perianto e o androginóforo, cuja principal função parece ser a atração de polinizadores. Neste estudo, a ontogenia da corona foi investigada em quatro espécies e um híbrido interespecífico artificial, representando os dois maiores subgêneros: P. edulis var flavicarpa Deg, P. coccinea Aubl., P. 'Lady Margaret' (híbrido P. edulis x P. coccinea) pertencentes ao subgênero Passiflora, P. tulae Urban e P. suberosa L. do subgênero Decaloba. A descrição morfo-anatômica comparativa do desenvolvimento da corona foi obtida com a utilização de microscopia de luz e eletrônica de varredura. Fragmentos correspondentes a homólogos dos genes MADS-box foram clonados de P. edulis e usados em análises filogenéticas. Estes fragmentos compartilharam similaridade com as sequências dos fatores de transcrição MADS-box em Arabidopsis: APETALA1, PISTILLATA e AGAMOUS. Estas sequências foram nomeados PeAPETALA1, PePISTILLATA e PeAGAMOUS, respectivamente. Os padrões de expressão destes genes foram investigados em diferentes tecidos vegetais por RT-PCR e em botões florais em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento por hibridização in situ. / Abstract: Some structures related to the attraction of pollinators were incorporated into the reproductive organs, resulting in floral innovations that have improved plant reproduction during the evolution of angiosperms. Passiflora is an example of floral diversity and complexity. The most striking feature of the genus is the presence of corona filaments between the perianth and androgynophore, whose main function seems to be the attraction of pollinators. In this study, the ontogeny of the corona was investigated in four Passiflora species representing the two major subgenera. Belonging to the subgenus Passiflora are P. edulis var flavicarpa, P. coccinea Aubl. and the artificial interspecific hybrid P. 'Lady Margaret' (P. edulis x P. coccinea). P. tulae Urban and P. suberosa L. belong to subgenus Decaloba. The comparative morpho-anatomical description of the corona development was obtained with the use of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Fragments corresponding to homologs of the MADS-box genes were cloned from P. edulis and used in filogenetic analyzes. These fragments showed similarity with the sequences of the Arabidopsis MADS-box transcription factors: APETALA1, PISTILLATA and AGAMOUS. Thus, these Passiflora sequences were named PeAPETALA1, PePISTILLATA and PeAGAMOUS, respectively. The expression patterns of these genes were investigated in different plant tissues by RT-PCR and in flower buds with different stages of corona development by in situ hybridization. / Mestrado / Mestre em Biologia Vegetal

Mas o processo de termofixação modifica algumas propriedades do tecido e entre elas podemos destacar: Hidrofilidade, comportamento tintorial, alongamento e ruptura. Essas propriedades são influenciadas pelas variáveis tempo e temperatura de termofixação. Nesse sentido o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as alterações proporcionadas pela termofixação nas propriedades físico-químicas do tecido de poliéster. O poliéster é um material que apresenta superfície quimicamente inerte, não porosa e com baixa energia de superfície (43 mN/m). O tratamento com descarga corona vem propor aumentar a energia de superfície, melhorar a hidrofilidade, o comportamento tintorial e a adesão do tecido termofixado e sem termofixar. Submeteram-se amostras de tecido plano de poliéster á termofixação em diversas combinações de tempo e temperatura dentro dos intervalos de 120 a 220°C e de 30 a 120 segundos. Após a termofixação mediu-se o encolhimento das amostras e submeteram-se as mesmas a testes de alongamento e ruptura. Trataram-se amostras de tecido de poliéster termofixadas e sem termofixar com descarga corona, e em seguida, submeteu-se as mesmas a testes de hidrofilidade, tingimento, estampagem, alongamento e ruptura. Observou-se que a termofixação promove encolhimento, aumento do alongamento, diminuição da hidrofilidade e da absorção de corante em tingimento de tecido de poliéster.

But the process of heat setting changes some properties of the fabric and among them we can highlight: Hidrophilicity, dyeability, elongation and strength. These properties are influenced by variables dwell time and heat setting temperature. In that sense this work has as objective to analyze the changes caused by heat in the physico-chemical properties of polyester fabric. Polyester is a material that presents the surface chemically inert, non-porous and low surface energy (43 mN / m). The treatment with corona discharge is proposing to increase the surface energy, improve the hidrophilicity, dyeability and adhesion of the polyester fabric with and without heat setting. Samples of polyester plan fabric underwent to heat setting on various combinations of time and temperature within the interval between 120 to 220 ° C, from 30 to 120 seconds. After the heat setting was measured the shrinkage of the samples and underwent the samples by tests of elongation and rupture. Samples of polyester fabric with and without heat setting were treated with corona discharge and in sequence the samples were tested by hidrophilicity, dyeing and printing. The heat setting promotes shrinkage and increase the elongation of polyester fabric. It was observed that the heat setting promotes shrinkage, increase of elongation, reduction of hydrophilicity and reduction of uptake of dye in the dyeing of polyester fabric. The corona treatment increase the hydrophilicity, the absorption of dye in pad-thermofix process and the pigment anchoring in polyester fabric samples with and without heat setting / Mestrado / Ciencia e Tecnologia de Materiais / Mestre em Engenharia Química
