Maleinized polypropylene and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, PP-MA and EPDM-MA, respectively, were employed as interfacial agents. Also two kinds of organoclays, differing about surfactant chemical structure and as consequence thermal stability, were investigated as inorganic filler. Nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation in an internal chamber mix and organoclay was incorporated by masterbatches addition, which ones were previously made. It was investigated the influence of amount and kind of organoclay and interfacial agent on tensile properties, rheology and morphology (crystallinity and structure type) of nanocomposites obtained. The results showed that interfacial agents addition promoted a better dispersion degree of organoclay platelets in PP/EPDM matrix, mainly PP-MA. Nanocomposites with both intercalated and exfoliated structures were obtained. These exhibited higher Young modulus and kept their elongation values. The better dispersion degree of clay platelets in nanocomposites containing PP-MA was confirmed by rheology measurements. Increasing amounts of organoclay lowered the crystallinity degree of nanocomposites but the reprocessability was maintained similar to that of pure TPE. Finally, the chemical structure of surfactants did not change the intercalation/exfoliation process due to the similarity of organoclay basal spacing and moderated TPE processing temperature.

If these failures occur after the vulcanization of the rubber, there is no possibility of reprocessing the material. Due to the high cost of the raw materials, reusing the material from vulcanized pieces discarded can generate a reduction in the raw materials, as well as in the final cost of the formulation. Among the rubbers used to obtain these devices, the ethylene-propylene- diene monomer (EPDM) and nitrile rubber containing poly (vinyl chloride) (NBR-PVC) are included. This study aims to obtain and characterize EPDM rubber compound, vulcanized with sulfur containing different concentrations of waste ground vulcanized rubber (EPDM or mixed EPDM/NBR-PVC), observing possible changes in mechanical properties and in relation to chemical compounds without the addition of waste. Compounds were obtained containing 0wt%, 5wt% and 10wt%of ground vulcanized rubber waste. By checking the results, it was verified that the compounds containing different types of waste (EPDM or mixed EPDM/NBR-PVC), at concentrations 5wt% to 10wt% of waste, are more resistant to heat, oil immersion and coolant liquid (ethylene glycol), compared to the compound obtained without addition of waste rubber. The compounds without residue showed better surface finish compared to compounds containing waste. Comparing the surface finish of compounds containing the residue, it was observed that the surface finish obtained from the pressed samples was better than the finish obtained for the extruded samples. / A indústria automobilística utiliza uma infinidade de diferentes produtos e artefatos à base de borracha vulcanizada. Durante a fabricação, partes destes produtos são descartados em razão das falhas de processamento, gerando prejuízo ao meio ambiente. Se estas falhas ocorrem após a vulcanização da borracha, não há possibilidade do reprocessamento do material. Em razão do preço alto das matérias primas, o reaproveitamento de material proveniente das peças vulcanizadas descartadas pode gerar uma redução nos materiais utilizados e no custo final da formulação. Entre as borrachas utilizadas para a obtenção destes artefatos, destacam-se o terpolímero etileno propileno dieno (EPDM). Este estudo teve como objetivo obter e caracterizar compostos de borracha EPDM, vulcanizados com enxofre, contendo diferentes concentrações de resíduos de borrachas vulcanizadas moídas (EPDM ou misto EPDM/NBR-PVC), observando possíveis alterações nas propriedades mecânicas e químicas em relação aos compostos sem adição de resíduos. Foram obtidos compostos contendo 5% e 10% de resíduos de borrachas vulcanizadas moídas. Por meio dos resultados foi possível verificar que os compostos contendo diferentes tipos de resíduos (EPDM ou misto EPDM/NBR-PVC), nas concentrações de 5 % e 10% em massa de resíduos, são mais resistentes ao calor, à imersão em óleo e líquido refrigerante (etileno glicol) quando comparados com o composto obtido sem adição de resíduos de borracha. Os compostos sem resíduo apresentaram melhor acabamento superficial quando comparados com os compostos contendo resíduo. Comparando o acabamento superficial dos compostos contendo resíduos, observou-se que o acabamento superficial obtido para as amostras prensadas foi melhor do que o acabamento obtido para as amostras extrudadas.

Le travail de thèse présenté dans ce manuscrit a consisté à mettre en avant un nouveau procédé de mélange des polymères développé au LIPHT lors de la mise en oeuvre de mélanges PP/EPDM réticulés dynamiquement et chargés à base de graphène. Ce nouveau mélangeur, appelé RMX®, se distingue de la plupart des mélangeurs existants par la présence d’écoulements élongationnels forts, la possibilité de mouler directement des éprouvettes à l’issue de l’étape de mélange ainsi qu’une étanchéité aux gaz et aux liquides. Après une optimisation des conditions opératoires de ce mélangeur, nous avons pu évaluer quantitativement l’efficacité du mélange dispersif par analyse numérique de tailles de particules d’EPDM dispersées dans une matrice PP. Le RMX® permet d’obtenir une dispersion fine (~ 1 μm) pour des énergies spécifiques et des temps de mélange inférieurs aux procédés existants. Des tailles significativement réduites ont été obtenues pour des mélanges présentant un rapport de viscosité élevé (p > 1). Ces résultats ont été attribués à la combinaison de taux de déformation en cisaillement élevés dans le canal de l’élément de mélange avec des taux de déformation en élongation majoritaires en entrée/sortie de ce dernier. L’impact des écoulements élongationnels sur l’intervalle de (co)-continuité de mélanges PP/EPDM a ensuite été étudié. Un décalage de la percolation de la phase dispersée (EPDM) vers les hautes concentrations ainsi qu’une borne supérieure de cet intervalle plus élevée ont ainsi pu être mis en évidence à l’aide de techniques complémentaires (MEB, extraction sélective de la phase EPDM, analyse rhéologique). Une procédure originale d’élaboration de matériaux TPV dans le RMX® a également été réalisée. La réticulation dynamique au moyen d’une résine phénolique d’un mélange PP/EPDM présentant une morphologie co-continue a été effectuée. Des taux d’insoluble proche de 100% ainsi que les propriétés élastiques des TPV formés ont permis de confirmer l’efficacité de cette étape de réticulation dans le RMX®. Une dernière étude a consisté à disperser une nanocharge graphitique lamellaire et conductrice (xGNPTM) dans une matrice PP. L’analyse par diffraction des rayons X, les seuils de percolation rhéologique et électrique obtenus autour de 7 et 8 wt% respectivement ainsi qu’un facteur de forme Af ~ 15 suggèrent une absence d’exfoliation ainsi qu’une agrégation importante des particules de xGNP. / A new mixing device (RMX®) based on elongational flows has been developed during this work. This device has specific technical features comparing to conventional mixers such as: variable mixing volume, direct molding of samples, air and water tightness. After an optimization of processing conditions, dispersive mixing efficiency was assessed on PP/EPDM blends by numerical analysis. Very fine dispersed morphologies were obtained for lower specific mixing energy and mixing times comparing to internal mixer (Haake Rheomix 600). Significantly reduced droplet sizes have been obtained for high-viscosity ratio blends (p > 1). These results indicate an enhanced droplet break-up mechanism in the RMX® which was attributed to the combination of high shear rates inside the mixing element and important elongational flows in the convergent/divergent zones. Impact of elongational flow mixing on the (co)-continuity interval of PP/EPDM blends was investigated. An important shift (~ 10 wt%) of the EPDM percolation threshold as well as a higher phase inversion concentration was observed. A combination of complementary techniques (SEM, selective extraction and rheological analysis) was successfully carried on in order to assess this (co)-continuity interval. Then, PP/EPDM blends with a co-continuous morphology were dynamically crosslinked in the RMX® using resole as a crosslinking agent. An original and specific procedure was developed for this purpose. Gel fraction close to 1 and significantly enhanced elastic properties after crosslinking confirmed the efficiency of this procedure. Finally, the dispersion of lamellar and conductive nanofillers (xGNPTM) in a polypropylene matrix was studied. Microstructural characterization by XRD and optical microscopy, rheological and electrical percolation thresholds (7 and 8 wt% of xGNP respectively) and corresponding aspect ratios (Af ~ 15) have shown no evidence of exfoliation.

Dentre estas vantagens, podem-se citar maior desempenho, melhor resistência ao vandalismo e menor peso. O objetivo desta dissertação foi o estabelecimento de desenvolver requisitos de desempenho para os Isoladores Poliméricos (EPDM- Monômero Dieno/Etileno/Propileno e Silicone) usados na rede elétrica, através de resultados obtidos em ensaios de envelhecimento natural e artificial, tendo como enfoque as linhas de transmissão de 69 kV e 138 kV.

La durée de vie des isolants synthétiques de câbles électriques installés en centrale nucléaire est l'une des préoccupations majeurs d'EDF R&D. Pour répondre à cette question, un modèle cinétique de vieillissement radiothermique a été développé pour une matrice EPDM stabilisée par un mélange phénol/HALS dans cette thèse. Ce modèle est dérivé d'un schéma mécanistique d'oxydation, établi dans une étude précédente pour la matrice PE pure, mais complété par les principales réactions de stabilisation des deux types d'antioxydants. Sa validité a été vérifiée avec succès pour une matrice EPDM pure et stabilisée par 0,1, 0,3 et 0,5% w/w de chaque type d'antioxydants, mais aussi par (0-0,3), (0,1-0,2), (0,15-0,15), (0,2-0,1), (0,3-0)% w/w de mélange des deux antioxydants. Le modèle cinétique prédit de manière satisfaisante la grande majorité des courbes cinétiques de consommation chimique des fonctions phénoliques et des fonctions amines, mais aussi des courbes d'accumulation des produits carbonyles dans l'air entre 140 et 160°C en absence d'irradiation γ, mais aussi sous 0,1 kGy/h-45°C, 1 kGy/h-51,5 °C et 10 kGy/h-63,5 °C. Différentes voies possibles d'amélioration sont proposées. / The lifetime prediction of synthetic insulations of electrical cables installed in nuclear power plants is one of the main concerns of EDF R&D. To answer this question, a radiothermal ageing kinetic model has been developed for an EPDM matrix stabilized by a phenol/HALS blend in this study. This model is derived from an oxidation mechanistic scheme, established in a previous study for the neat PE matrix, but completed by the main stabilization reactions of both antioxidants. Its validity has been checked successfully for an EPDM matrix unstabilized and stabilized by 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% w/w of each antioxidant, but also by (0-0.3), (0.1-0.2), (0.15-0.15), (0.2-0.1), (0.3-0)% w/w of both antioxidants. The kinetic model predicts satisfyingly the large majority of kinetic curves of chemical consumption of phenolic and amine functions, but also the kinetic curves of carbonyl group build-up in air between 140 and 160°C in the absence of γ irradiation, but also under 0.1 kGy/h-45°C, 1 kGy/h-51.5 °C et 10 kGy/h-63.5 °C. Various possible ways of improvement are proposed.

La morphologie de l’endommagement par cavitation est analysée dans un EPDM non chargé sous différentes conditions de décompression d’hydrogène. Les expériences permettent devisualiser l’évolution de l’endommagement au cours du temps. Les images obtenues sont traitées pour obtenir l’instant d’apparition, le nombre et la distribution de taille des cavités au cours du temps. Elles permettent également de suivre les cinétiques de croissance / décroissance des plus grosses cavités. Le tracé de covariogrammes permet de quantifier la distribution spatiale de ces cavités. L’analyse de cet ensemble de données porte donc sur deux échelles :celle de cavités indépendantes et celle de champs de cavités. A l’échelle de la cavité, les cinétiques expérimentales sont corrélées à des calculs numériques par Eléments Finis en conditions diffuso-mécaniques couplées sur une cellule élémentaire contenant une ou deuxcavité(s). Ces calculs permettent par ailleurs d’éclairer les évolutions locales des champs mécaniques et de concentration de gaz, ainsi que les mécanismes d’interaction entre cavités voisines. Les covariogrammes fournissent des éléments pour estimer les caractéristiques d’un Volume Elémentaire Représentatif (VER) (taille, isotropie) et discuter la représentativité d’untel modèle numérique selon les conditions de décompression. A l’échelle des champs de cavités,les conditions de décompression influencent la répartition spatiale. Le nombre et la taille des cavités augmentent avec la pression de saturation et/ou la vitesse de décompression, et une seconde population de petites cavités apparaît autour des premières sous conditions sévères.L’homogénéité et l’isotropie de la distribution à l’échelle macroscopique sont étudiées. Il est finalement montré que la morphologie des champs de cavités évolue au cours de cycles successifs. Cette analyse fournit des informations pour discuter et renseigner le cadre et les ingrédients de modèles d’endommagement. / The morphology of cavitation is analyzed in an unfilled EPDM under different hydrogen decompression conditions. The experimental device allows a time-resolved tracking of the evolution of damage. Images are processed to obtain the onset time, the number and sizedistribution of cavities over time, and the inflation / deflation kinetics of the biggest cavities.Covariograms quantifies the spatial distribution of cavity fields. The analysis is thus led at two scales: that of independent cavities and that of the full cavity fields. At the cavity scale, kineticsis shown to be identical for independent cavities but different between inflation and deflation.Experimental kinetics is compared to that issued from Finite Element calculations in a cell containing one or two cavities, in coupled diffuso-mechanical conditions. Calculationshighlight the evolution of local mechanical and gas content fields, as well as interaction effects between close cavities. At the scale of cavity fields, the spatial distribution is influenced by the decompression conditions. The number and size of cavities increase with saturation pressure and/or decompression rate and a second population of small cavities is nucleated around the first one under severe decompression conditions. The homogeneity and isotropy of the distribution at macroscopic scale are studied. The influence of cycling on the evolution of cavitation morphology is addressed in the final part. It was finally found that the morphology of cavity fields evolves during successive cycles. The analysis provides information to discuss and to inquire the framework and ingredients of damage models.

Blendas poliméricas de PAni dopada com ácido dodecilbenzeno sulfônico (PANI-DBSA) e copolímero etileno-propileno-monômero dieno desvulcanizado por microondas (dEPDM) foram obtidas por processo mecânico em diferentes concentrações. Caracterizações físico-químicas, morfológicas e elétrica foram realizadas para analisar as blendas. Um estudo sobre a desvulcanização da borracha EPDM foi descrito. Os ensaios de DSC mostraram temperaturas de transição vítrea diferentes nas blendas indicando que os componentes poliméricos não são totalmente miscíveis, o que permite a formação de uma rede condutora (PANI-DBSA) na matriz isolante (dEPDM). As análises de FTIR indicaram uma interação basicamente física entre o polímero PANI-DBSA e o copolímero dEPDM. As análises de raios-X confirmaram a presença de uma fase cristalina no interior das blendas atribuída à PANI-DBSA. Os ensaios de TGA mostraram que a PAni-DBSA diminuiu, significativamente, a estabilidade térmica do dEPDM. As análises de DMTA apresentaram a diminuição do amortecimento do sistema ocasionado pela presença da PAni, que é mais rígida, no segmento flexível do EPDM; ou seja, a mobilidade da cadeia fica mais limitada. Finalmente, o estudo de condutividade elétrica das blendas foi realizado e como esperado, esta aumenta com a concentração de PANIDBSA nas blendas, e um baixo limite de percolação pode ser observado devido à condutividade ocorrer para baixas concentrações de material condutor (<20%). A condutividade máxima alcançada foi de, aproximadamente, 102 S/cm para a composição de 50% de PANI-DBSA em massa. / Polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (PAni-DBSA) and ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer (EPDM) rubber devulcanizated by microwave (dEPDM) blends have been prepared by mechanical process. Flexible, free-standing and stretchable films have been obtained, which have been characterized by electrical conductivity measurements, FTIR, XRD, DSC, TGA, DMTA and SEM. Study about EPDM rubber devulcanization has been described. DSC analysis have showed different glass-transition temperatures in the blends and it has been observed that the compositions present enough compatibility to form a conductive network (PAni-DBSA) in the elastomeric matrix (dEPDM). By FTIR analysis, it has been noted that there was not modification about the spectrum of blends; therefore the interactions between the components were, basically, physics. X-ray analysis have confirmed the presence of a crystalline phase into the blends that is attributed by PAni-DBSA. TGA analysis have showed that the PAni-DBSA decreased significantly the rubber thermal stability. DMTA analysis have indicated that the system damping decreased according to the presence of PAni because of its stiffness. Finally, blends electric conductivity study has been carried out and as expected, the conductivity have increased with PAni-DBSA concentration in the blends and a low percolation threshold has been observed with the onset of conductivity occurring at lower concentrations of the conductive materials (<20%).
