Cette thèse a été réalisée au sein du LERMAB et du CETELOR et se consacre à la mise au point de matériaux composites biosourcés à plus de 98%. Des fibres libériennes de type lin, chanvre, kénaf et jute ont ainsi été sélectionnées, caractérisées chimiquement et physiquement. Les renforts en nontissés sont définis ici comme une superposition de voiles (ou nappes de fibres) cohésifs produits par cardage pneumatique et dont la consolidation est réalisée par aiguilletage. Les voies que nous avons choisies au cours de ce travail nous ont permis d'appréhender et de mettre en évidence l'importance de la qualité des fibres sur les propriétés mécaniques et structurales des matériaux développés. Les renforts réalisés dans un premier temps dans une gamme de poids de 200 à 800 g/m² en simple, double ou triple épaisseurs ont ensuite été optimisés dans le but de préserver les propriétés mécaniques des fibres et de permettre une bonne accessibilité de la résine d'imprégnation. Pour limiter les facteurs de complications, les paramètres process ont été limités pour toutes les fibres et composites. Les fibres ont été mises en oeuvre seules ou en mélanges, et imprégnées de matrice à base de résine naturelle tannin de mimosa et d'hexamine (comme durcisseur) ou de résine synthétique de type époxy. Des biocomposites à taux de fibres en masse de plus de 50% et de densité entre 0,9 et 1,2 ont été obtenus. Les modules d'élasticité atteignent 6 GPa en flexion et en traction. Pour les contraintes, les moyennes atteignent 42 MPa et 75MPa respectivement en traction et en flexion / This thesis was carried out within the LERMAB and the CETELOR and about the development of more than 98% biobased composites materials. Bast fibre type flax, hemp, kenaf and jute were selected, characterized chemically and physically. Nonwovens reinforcements are defined here as a superposition of cohesive webs products by pneumatic carding and consolidation by needling. The process we have chosen during this work allowed us to understand and to highlight the importance of the quality of the fibers on the mechanical and structural properties of the materials developed. Reinforcements made initially in a weight range from 200 to 800 g/m² in single, double or triple thicknesses have then been optimized to preserve the mechanical properties of the fibers and allow good accessibility of the impregnating resin. To limit the factors of complications, the process parameters have been limited for all fibers and composites. Fibers have been used singly or in mixtures, and impregnated by a matrix of natural tannin from mimosa and hexamine (as a hardener) or by synthetic resin of epoxy. Biocomposites with a rate of fibre mass over 50%, and density between 0.9 and 1.2 were obtained. Elasticity Modulus reach 6 GPa flexural and tensile. For strenght, averages reach 42 MPa and 75MPa respectively in tensile and bending

Hybridraketer har inte sett så mycket användning som dess motsvarigheter som använder flytande eller fasta drivmedel. De främsta orsakerna kan förklaras med att hybridraketer historiskt sett haft lägre regressionshastighet och bränsletäthet. Inverkan av nackdelarna har dock minskat tack vare fortsatt forskning rörande hybridraketer. Tillsammans med de säkerhetsoch ekonomiska fördelar som kommer med hybridraketer har gjort hybridraketer ett mer konkurrenskraftiga. Hexaminbaserade fasta bränslen har formulerats och utvärderats med betoning att förbättra härdningstid och mekaniska egenskaper. Genom att inkludera mjukgörare och ändra NCO/OH-förhållandet har ett fast bränsle med lovande mekaniska egenskaperoch god härdningstid framställts. / Hybrid propellant rockets has not seen as much use as its liquid and solid propellant counterparts. The main reasons for this can be attributed to hybrid propellant rockets historically having lower regression rate and fuel density. However, the impact of these disadvantages have been diminished over the years as a result of increased research. This together with the safety and economic advantages of hybrid propellant rockets, the hybrid system have become a more competitive system to use. Hexamine basedsolid fuel grains have been formulated and evaluated with emphasis on enhancing pot-life and tensile proprieties. By including plasticisers and altering the NCO/OH ratio, a solid fuel grain was successfully produced, overcoming earlier encountered problems with short pot-life as well as having promising tensile properties.

Idag är de vanligaste använda raketerna flytande-bränsle- och fast-bränsle- raketer. Flytande-bränsle-raketer har fördelen att det kan manövreras men de har en komplex design och problem med förvaring. Fast-bränsle-raketer har en enkel design och kan förvaras men de har en miljöpåverkan och bränslet kan vara svårhanterligt. En tredje typ av raketer, hybridraketer, kan kombinera enkelheten från fasta-bränsle-raketer med manövreringsbarheten från vätske-bränsle-raketer. Trots fördelarna med hybridraketer används de inte på grund av att bränslet har låg regressionshastighet och låg densitet. Organiska additiv har visat sig förbättra dessa egenskaper. 50 organiska additiv granskades med avseende på deras specifika impuls, densitet, kostnad och användarvänlighet. De mest lovande organiska additiven utvärderades sedan experimentellt. Termogravimetrisk analys (TGA), isotermviktförlust, kompatibilitet och differentiell svepkalorimetri (DSC) användes. Resultaten indikerar att hexamin, fluorene, anthracene och 1,4-dicyanobenzene har mest potential att förbättra bränslet i hybridraketer. / Liquid propellant and solid propellant rockets are the most commonly used rockets Liquid propellant rockets have the advantage of being manoeuvrable with a high specific performance while they exhibit problems with storage and a complex design. Solid propellant rockets offer simplicity and are storable while they have a large environmental impact and could be difficult to handle. A third type of rocket, hybrid propellant rocket has the potential to combine the simplicity of solid propellant rocket with the manoeuvrability of liquid propellant rockets. While the hybrid propellant rocket offers advantages over liquid propellant and solid propellant rocket it have problems with its fuel which have a low regression rate and low density. Organic fillers were evaluated since they may increase in the regression rate and the density of the solid fuel. 50 organic fillers were assessed with regards to their specific impulse, density, cost and handling properties. The organic fillers with the most promising properties were then experimentally evaluated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), isothermal weight loss test, compatibility test and differential scanning calorimetry analysis were conducted. The results indicate that hexamine, fluorene, anthracene and 1,4-dicyanobenzene are the most suitable organic fillers of those evaluated..
