Naujų mikroekstrakcijos sistemų kūrimas, tyrimas ir taikymas lakių aromatinių angliavandenilių nustatymui / Development, investigation and application of new microextraction systems for determination of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons

Pusvaškienė, Edita 22 February 2011 (has links)
Pasiūlyta nauja kietafazės mikroekstrakcijos sistema, kurioje nerūdijančio plieno strypelis dengtas anglies nanovamzdeliais, ištirtas jos terminis stabilumas ir atrankumas, nustatyta, kad sistema tinka lakių aromatinių angliavandenilių ekstrakcijai iš tirpalo ir iš viršerdvės. Ištirtos keturių skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcijos metodų - skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcijos kapiliare, mikroekstrakcijos užšaldomu tirpiklio lašu, dispersinės skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcijos ir dispersinės skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcijos užšaldant ekstraktą - galimybės ekstrahuoti lakius aromatinius angliavandenilius. Optimizuotos tirtų metodų ekstrakcijos sąlygos, nustatytos pagrindinės analizinės charakteristikos. Visų metodų rezultatų pasikartojamumas ir aptikimo ribos artimi. Išimtis – dispersinė skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcija, kuria gautos kiek didesnės aptikimo ribos. Greičiausi ekstrakcijos metodai - dispersinė skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcija ir dispersinė skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcija užšaldant ekstraktą, ilgiausiai trunka mikroekstrakcija užšaldomu tirpiklio lašu. Švarių mėginių ekstrakcijai tinka visi tirti metodai, užterštiems mėginiams geriau tinka kietafazė mikroekstrakcija iš viršerdvės arba skysčių-skysčių mikroekstrakcija kapiliare. Paruoštos lakių aromatinių angliavandenilių mikroekstrakcijos metodikos pritaikytos vandens ir sniego mėginių analizei. / A new solid phase microextraction system composed of nanotubes coating fixed on a stainless steel support is suggested. Thermal stability and selectivity of the system was examined. It was determined that the system can be used for direct and headspace extraction of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons. Possibilities of four liquid phase microextraction techniques – hollow fibre liquid phase microextraction, liquid phase microextraction based on the solidification of a floating drop, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and dispersion-solidification liquid-liquid microextraction – for the extraction of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons were investigated. Extraction conditions of the investigated methods were optimized and the main analytical characteristics were determined. For all the methods detection limits and repeatability of the results are close. An exception is dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction with slightly higher detection limits. An extraction is especially fast using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and dispersion-solidification liquid-liquid microextraction. The most time-consuming method is liquid phase microextraction based on the solidification of a floating drop. All the methods are suitable for clean sample extraction. For the extraction from complex matrices the most suitable methods are headspace solid phase microextraction and hollow fibre liquid phase microextraction. The prepared microextraction techniques were applied for water and snow... [to full text]

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Single Crystal Superalloys

Ghoneim, Adam 07 October 2011 (has links)
The primary goals of the research in this dissertation are to perform a systematic study to identify and understand the fundamental cause of prolonged processing time during transient liquid phase bonding of difficult-to-bond single crystal Ni-base materials, and use the acquired knowledge to develop an effective way to reduce the isothermal solidification time without sacrificing the single crystalline nature of the base materials. To achieve these objectives, a multi-scale numerical modeling approach, that involves the use of a 2-D fully implicit moving-mesh Finite Element method and a Cellular Automata method, was developed to theoretically investigate the cause of long isothermal solidification times and determine a viable way to minimize the problem. Subsequently, the predictions of the theoretical models are experimentally validated. Contrary to previous suggestions, numerical calculations and experimental verifications have shown that enhanced intergranular diffusivity has a negligible effect on solidification time in cast superalloys and that another important factor must be responsible. In addition, it was found that the concept of competition between solute diffusivity and solubility as predicted by standard analytical TLP bonding models and reported in the literature as a possible cause of long solidification times is not suitable to explain salient experimental observations. In contrast, however, this study shows that the problem of long solidification times, which anomalously increase with temperature is fundamentally caused by departure from diffusion controlled parabolic migration of the liquid-solid interface with holding time during bonding due to a significant reduction in the solute concentration gradient in the base material. Theoretical analyses showed it is possible to minimize the solidification time and prevent formation of stray-grains in joints between single crystal substrates by using a composite powder mixture of brazing alloy and base alloy as the interlayer material, which prior to the present work has been reported to be unsuitable. This was experimentally verified and the use of the composite powder mixture as interlayer material to reduce the solidification time and avoid stray-grain formation during TLP bonding of single crystal superalloys has been reported for the first time in this research.

Étude expérimentale du comportement dynamique des phases liquides en soudage par court-circuit contrôlé / Experimental study of liquid phase behaviour in GMAW controlled short arc processes

Monier, Romain 09 December 2016 (has links)
Le soudage est un procédé clef dans l'industrie nucléaire. L'utilisation de ce procédé d'assemblage est nécessaire pour assurer la continuité physique et chimique indispensable à la sûreté des composants des centrales. Pour la société AREVA, un axe de développement important consiste à augmenter la productivité tout en garantissant une qualité optimale.L'approche expérimentale présentée dans ce travail a pour double objectif de proposer un dispositif de contrôle des températures des zones de métal liquide et de caractériser leur comportement dynamique, dans le cas du soudage MAG. Une méthode de mesure de température, en pyrométrie bichromatique, a été développée pour la mesure textit{in-situ} des champs de température des zones liquides. Les premiers essais réalisés en configuration industrielle permettent d'envisager l'utilisation de ce type de méthode pour le contrôle temps réel d'opérations de soudage. La méthode de pyrométrie bichromatique, couplée à l'observation et à l'étude des déformations des gouttelettes au cours de leur transfert, permet également d'évaluer l'influence de la température sur la tension superficielle, en interaction avec le plasma d'arc. Le rôle majeur de la tension superficielle dans le comportement dynamique des phases liquides apparaît clairement dans les résultats obtenus. Les outils d'investigation et d'analyse développés ont été utilisés pour étudier un procédé de soudage par court-circuit contrôlé (CMT). Il est ainsi possible d'analyser la rupture du pont liquide, mais aussi le comportement du dépôt de métal liquide, qui peut entraîner des défauts de forme, et la dynamique des transferts de masse pour identifier l'apparition des défauts opératoires. / Welding is a key process in nuclear industry. The use of this assembly process is needed to ensure chemical and physical continuity required for installations safety. For the firm AREVA, one of the major axis of development is improving the productivity of nuclear components with the guaranty of optimum quality.Experimental approach presented in the present work has the double objectives of proposing a monitoring device for temperature fields of liquid metal and characterising its dynamic behaviour in GMAW. A two colour measurement method has been developed for textit{in-situ} surface temperature measurement of liquid zones. First tests realised in an industrial configuration allow to consider this method as a possible real-time control device for welding. This two colour pyrometer, coupled to the observation and the study of droplets deformations during their transfer, allows to study the influence of temperature on surface tension, with the interaction of arc plasma. Main role of surface tension on liquid phase behaviour is clearly exposed in the obtained results. The developed investigating and analysis tools have been used to study a GMAW controlled short arc process. So, it is possible to analyse liquid bridge rupture, but also liquid metal deposition behaviour, which can induce shape defects, and mass transfer dynamic to identify the apparition of operative defects.

Soudure de pieces métalliques par diffusion d'une phase liquide transitoire / Transient liquid phase diffusion welding of metallic parts

Di Luozzo, Nicolás 24 July 2014 (has links)
L'axe de recherche suivi dans cette thèse comprend principalement. L'élaboration, les caractérisations structurale par rayons X (XRD), microstructurale par microscopies électroniques (SEM et EBSD), chimique (EDS et EPMA) et mécanique (essais de traction et dureté) de jonctions de pièces d'acier au carbone à travers le procédé appelé ‘Transient Liquid Phase Bonding' (TLPB), en utilisant comme matériel d'apport des rubans amorphes des systèmes Fe-B-Si et Fe-B, et des feuilles de Cu.Les jonctions TLPB ont été obtenus en chauffant les pièces à unir à une température de 1300ºC, qui est maintenue pendant 7 min, en même temps qu'on applique une pression de 5 MPa.Les résultats EBSD et SEM montrent que lorsque des rubans amorphe de Fe-B-Si sont utilisés comme matériel d'apport, on observe dans la zone de jonction des tubes une microstructure caractérisée par des grains de ferrite alors que dans la zone affectée par la chaleur (Heat Affected Zone, HAZ), on observe une microstructure ferritique-perlitique. Les grains de ferrite de la jonction ne sont généralement pas partagés avec ceux de la HAZ et sont clairement délimités par des bords de grains. Grâce aux profils de compositions obtenus par EDS et EPMA, on peut montrer que le jonction s'enrichit en Si et s'appauvrit en Mn. Cette microsegregation de Si et Mn produite par le procédé TLPB fait de la jonction une région de formation prématurée de ferrite au bord des grains de l'austénite de la HAZ. Après l'austénite de la HAZ se transforme au refroidissement pour former une structure ferritique/perlitique, qui contraste avec la jonction. Les propriétés mécaniques, montrent que la fracture se produit dans la HAZ loin de la jonction. Les mesures de dureté dans la jonction et la HAZ sont en accord avec les microstructures observées.Une étude complémentaire sur des régions avec une solidification isothermique incomplète montre que dans une première étape la phase primaire qui solidifie est pareille à celle du procédé TLPB et ensuite d'autre phases apparaissent. La phase métastable Fe23B6, a pu être détecté par une expérience de microdiffraction XRD (ID27, ESRF en Grenoble).Lorsque l'on utilise des rubans amorphes de Fe-B comme matériel d'apport, on ne distingue pas clairement les microstructure de la jonction de celle de la HAZ. Les grains de ferrite de la jonction sont partagés avec ceux de la HAZ et on peut visualiser une solidification épitaxiale dans la jonction à partir des grains de la HAZ. Les propriétés mécaniques, montrent que la résistance à la traction est d'au moins 88% de la valeur des pièces métalliques. Dans ce cas la rupture se produit à la jonction bien que les valeurs de dureté correspondent à celle attendus pour les microstructures présentes.Finalement , lorsque une feuille de Cu est utilisé comme matériaux d'apport on observe des microstructures similaires pour la jonction et la HAZ. Près de la surface on observe une porosité du à l'effet Kirkendall (le Cu de la jonction diffuse dans la pièce métallique plus rapidement que le Fe de celle-ci diffuse dans la jonction ce qui génère un flux de lacunes vers la jonction d'où sa porosité). Cet effet est moins marqué (moins de porosité) loin des bords car la pression au niveau de la jonction est plus grande. Ceci indique la haute sensibilité de l'effet Kirkendall avec la pression. Les propriétés mécaniques montrent que la résistance à la traction est d'au moins 85% de la valeur des pièces métalliques et la rupture se produit à la jonction. La rupture est lié à la présence de phases secondaires du à l'abondance de régions avec une solidification isothermique incomplète (ces régions cèdent sous tractions ce qui réduit l'aire efficace lors de l'essai entrainant la rupture par surcharge). Les mesures de dureté dans la jonction et la HAZ sont en accord avec les microstructures observées. / The main scientific activities carried out in this thesis includes: The structural characterization by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), microstructure analysis by electron microscopy (SEM and EBSD), chemical analysis (EDS and EPMA) and mechanical testing - tensile and hardness tests - of the joints of bonded carbon steel parts by means of the Transient Liquid Phase Bonding (TLPB) process, using as filler materials amorphous ribbons of Fe-B and Fe-Si-B systems, and Cu foils.The TLPB bonded joints were obtained by heating the assembly to a temperature of 1300ºC, which is maintained for 7 min, at the same time a pressure of 5 MPa is applied.The results obtained both by SEM and EBSD show that when amorphous Fe-Si-B ribbons are used as filler material, at the joint of the bonded parts a microstructure consisting of ferrite grains is observed, in contrast with ferritic-pearlitic microstructure at the heat affected zone (HAZ).The ferrite grains at the joint are not generally shared with those of the HAZ, and are clearly delimited by grain boundaries. The composition profiles obtained both by EDS and EPMA show that the joint is enriched in Si and is depleted in Mn. During cooling, this microsegregation of Mn and Si produced by the TLPB makes the joint a region where ferrite is formed prematurely at austenite grains boundaries of the HAZ. Afterwards, the austenite of the HAZ transforms to form a ferritic/pearlitic microstructure, which contrasts with that of the joint. The tensile tests of specimens from the bonded parts show that the fracture occurs in the HAZ, far from the junction. Hardness measurements both at the joint and at the HAZ are consistent with the observed microstructures.A complementary study at the joint was carried out where the isothermal solidification completion was not achieved. During cooling, at a first stage the phase which solidifies is the same than that during the TLPB process. Finally, the appearance of other phases takes place. The metastable phase Fe23B6 was detected by X-Ray microdiffraction (ID27, ESRF at Grenoble).When amorphous Fe-B ribbons are used as filler material, there is no clear distinction between the microstructure at the joint and at the HAZ. The ferrite grains at the joint are shared with those of the HAZ, and epitaxial solidification of these grains can be visualized from the grains of the HAZ.When tensile tested, the bonded parts attain at least 88% of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the base metal. In this case, fracture occurred at the joint, although the values of hardness correspond to those expected for the observed microstructures.Finally, when Cu foils are used as filler material, the microstructure observed at the joint is similar to that of the HAZ. Close to the outer surface, porosity due to Kirkendall effect is observed (the Cu of the joint diffuses into the base metal faster than the Fe into the joint, which generates a flow of vacancies towards the joint, thus developing porosity). This effect is less pronounced (less porosity) away from the outer surface where the pressure at the joint is larger. This indicates the high sensitivity of the Kirkendall effect with pressure. The tensile test shows that the joint attains at least 85% of the UTS of the base metal, and that it fails at the joint. The latter is related to the abundance of secondary phases due to an incomplete isothermal solidification (these areas - with lower strength compared with the base metal - fail before under traction, which reduces the effective area during the test, resulting in an overload failure). Hardness measurements at the joint and at the HAZ are consistent with the observed microstructres.

Determinação da atividade antimicrobiana na fase vapor do óleo essencial de Hesperozygis myrtoides (St.Hil. ex Benth.) Epling / Determination of antimicrobial activity in the vapor phase of essential oil Hesperozygis myrtoides (St.Hil. Ex Benth.) Epling

Marcos Aurélio Almeida Pereira 01 September 2016 (has links)
O uso de plantas aromáticas ricas em óleos essenciais (OE) como agentes saneantes ou conservantes remonta às civilizações antigas. Nos dias atuais, o aumento nos surtos de infecções em hospitais e creches, bem como da resistência bacteriana, aumentou também a demanda por desinfetantes. Os OE\'s são reconhecidos por sua atividade antimicrobiana, mas a maioria dos estudos foi realizada na fase líquida. Buscando aproveitar a característica de alta volatilidade dos OE´s, desenvolvemos uma metodologia para a avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana na fase vapor. Nesse sentido, utilizamos o OE extraído de Hesperozygis myrtoides (St.Hil. ex Benth.) Epling (Lamiaceae), uma espécie nativa com ocorrência nos estados do sudeste do Brasil. A planta foi coletada em Campos do Jordão e o óleo teve um rendimento médio de 1,99% (m/m), sendo os componentes majoritários pulegona (48,8%) e isomentona (16,2%). A atividade antimicrobiana foi comparada na fase líquida, pelo método da microdiluição em placa, com a fase vapor, pelo método da placa invertida modificado. Os resultados indicaram uma atividade mais potente para a fase vapor do que na fase líquida. Staphylococcus aureus apresentou CIM de 0,392 mg. L-1 na fase vapor e 19 mg. L-1 na líquida, já para Candida albicans foi 0,833 mg. L-1 , na fase vapor e 94,4 mg. L-1 na fase líquida. Entretanto, para Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacilus subtillis e Aspergillus brasiliensis os valores da CIM, em ambas as fases, foram acima de 100 mg. L-1, sendo então considerado inativo. A atividade antimicrobiana na fase vapor é mais intensa devido aos OE´s se ligarem diretamente ao microrganismo sem a interferência do solvente. A toxicidade do OE foi avaliada frente a células tumorais humanas de mama (MCF-7) e próstata (CP-3) e em células de fibroblastos murinos normais (BALB/3T3) e indicaram uma DL50 superior a 2.014 mg.Kg-1, podendo ser considerado seguro. A atividade antimicrobiana associada à baixa toxicidade é um forte indicativo que este OE pode ser utilizado para descontaminação ambiental na fase vapor, inclusive em ambientes habitados. / Aromatic plants rich in essential oils (EO) have been used as sanitizing agents or preservatives since early civilizations. Nowadays, the increase in infectious outbreaks in hospitals and nurseries, as well as the bacterial resistance has also increased the demand for disinfectants. EO\'s are known for their antimicrobial activity, but most reports is in the liquid phase. Due to the EO high volatility, we have developed a methodology for evaluating the antimicrobial activity in the vapor phase. In this sense, we use the Hesperozygis myrtoides (St.Hil. Ex Benth.) Epling (Lamiaceae) EO, a native species occurring in southeastern Brazil. The plant was collected in Campos do Jordão (SP) and the oil had an average yield of 1.99% (m/m) and as major components pulegone (48.8%) and isomenthone (16.2%). Antimicrobial activity was compared in the liquid phase, microdilution method, with the vapor phase, modified inverted plate method. The results indicated that the vapor phase was a more potent than the liquid. Staphylococcus aureus afforded MIC 0.392 mg. L-1 for the vapor phase and 19 mg. L-1 for the liquid phase, while for Candida albicans it was 0.833 mg. L-1 for the vapor and 94.4 mg. L-1 for the liquid. However, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus brasiliensis had in both phases MIC\'s higher than 100 mg. L-1, considered then inactive. The vapor phase antimicrobial activity is more intense because the EO are free to directly bind with the microorganism without the solvent interference. Toxicity was evaluated against human breast tumor cells (MCF-7) and prostate cancer (PC-3) and with normal murine fibroblast cells (BALB/3T3) indicating a DL50 higher 2,014 mg.Kg-1, and it was considered safe. The antimicrobial activity associated with the low toxicity is a strong indication that this EO vapors can be used for environmental decontamination, even in inhabited places.

Análise enantiosseletiva de venlafaxina e de seus principais metabólitos - aplicações em estudos de biotransformação in vitro e in vivo / Enantioselective analysis of venlafaxine and its major metabolites application to in vitro and in vivo biotransformation studies

Patricia da Fonseca 08 September 2011 (has links)
A microextração em fase líquida com membranas cilíndricas ocas (HF-LPME) é uma técnica bastante interessante de preparação de amostras, uma vez que com pequenas quantidades de solventes orgânicos é possível a extração dos analitos presentes em matrizes complexas. Sendo assim, essa técnica foi empregada para extração da venlafaxina (VEN) e seus metabólitos em fração microssomal de fígado de ratos e plasma, visando o desenvolvimento de métodos para análise enantiosseletiva desses analitos. Esses métodos foram então empregados em um estudo in vitro de biotransformação da VEN e em um estudo piloto de disposição cinética em ratos e humanos. A VEN é um fármaco quiral empregado no tratamento da depressão, cujas propriedades farmacocinéticas e farmacodinâmicas são estereosseletivas. Após a otimização das condições de extração por HF-LPME, foram obtidas recuperações de 12-60%. O método empregado no estudo in vitro de biotransformação da VEN foi desenvolvido usando a coluna ChiralpaK AD®, fase móvel composta por hexano : 2-propanol (95:5, v/v) + 0,025% de dietilamina (DEA) e detecção por absorção no UV. A coluna ChiralpaK AD-H® e a fase móvel composta por metanol : etanol (70:30, v/v) + 0,025% de DEA foram empregadas para análise da VEN e seus metabólitos em plasma. Para esse método, empregou-se a detecção por espectrometria de massas visando à obtenção de menores limites de quantificação. O método empregado para a determinação da VEN e de seus metabólitos em fração microssomal de fígado de ratos foi linear no intervalo de 200 a 5000 ng mL-1 e o método empregado para a determinação da VEN e de seus metabólitos em amostras de plasma foi linear no intervalo de 5 a 500 ng mL-1. Os métodos analíticos desenvolvidos para determinação da VEN e seus metabólitos nas matrizes biológicas foram aplicados em estudos de biotransformação in vitro e em estudos de disposição cinética em duas espécies (ratos e humanos). O objetivo destes estudos foi avaliar a correlação da biotransformação entre as diferentes espécies avaliadas e comparar os resultados obtidos nos estudos in vitro com os verificados nos estudos in vivo. Os resultados dos estudos empregando fração microssomal de fígado de ratos são semelhantes aos obtidos no estudo de disposição cinética em ratos, com formação mais pronunciada da Ndesmetilvenlafaxina (N-VEN) e com produção prioritária do enantiômero (-)-(R). Comparando-se os estudos de disposição cinética em ratos e humanos, observa-se enantiosseletividade na biotransformação da VEN com a (-)-(R)-VEN sendo preferencialmente biotransformada. Entretanto, em humanos observa-se que a (-)- (R)-O-desmetilvenlafaxina ((-)-(R)-O-VEN) é formada em maior proporção enquanto que, em ratos, a (-)-(R)-N-VEN é preferencialmente formada. / Hollow Fiber-Liquid Phase Microextraction (HF-LPME) is a very interesting technique for sample preparation, since it uses small amounts of organic solvents to extract drugs present in complex matrices. Thus, this technique was employed for the extraction of venlafaxine (VEN) and its metabolites from rat liver microsomal fraction and plasma, aiming the development of methods for the enantioselective analysis of these analytes. These methods were then applied to study the in vitro biotransformation and the kinetic disposition of VEN in rats and humans. VEN is a chiral drug used in the treatment of depression, whose pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties are stereoselective. After the optimization of the HFLPME conditions, recoveries of 12-60% were obtained. The method employed in the in vitro biotransformation study of VEN was developed using a ChiralpaK AD® column, mobile phase consisting of hexane : 2-propanol (95:5, v/v) + 0.025% of diethylamine (DEA) and UV detection. The ChiralpaK AD-H® column and the mobile phase consisting of methanol : ethanol (70:30, v/v) + 0.025% of DEA were employed for the analysis of VEN and its metabolites in plasma. In order to obtain lower quantification limits, mass spectrometry detection was used in this method. The method used for the determination of VEN and its metabolites in rat liver microsomal fraction was linear over the concentration range of 200 to 5000 ng mL-1 whereas the method used for the determination of VEN and its metabolites in plasma was linear in the range of 5 to 500 ng mL-1. The developed methods for the determination of VEN in biological matrices were applied to an in vitro biotransformation study and to kinetic disposition studies in two species (rats and humans). The objective of these studies was to evaluate the correlation of the biotransformation between different species and to compare the results of the in vitro and in vivo studies. The results obtained using rat liver microsomal fraction were similar to those obtained in the rat kinetic disposition study, with more pronounced formation of N-desmethylvenlafaxine (NVEN) and major production of the (-)-(R) enantiomer. Comparing the kinetic disposition studies in rats and humans, the enantioselectivity in the biotransformation of VEN with (-)-(R)-VEN being preferentially biotransformed was observed for both species. However, (-)-(R)-O-desmethylvenlafaxine ((-)-(R)-O-VEN) is preferentially formed in humans whereas the major metabolite in rat plasma is (-)-(R)-N-VEN.

Camargo, Elaine Farneze de 17 April 2015 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:36:49Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-04-17 / The different methods of obtaining two-dimensional materials are being researched intensively, due to their promising physical and chemical properties. Among the methods of obtaining graphene, the liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) of graphite is proving to be a relatively simple and efficient process for the production of flakes of high quality and large scale. It is primarily based on the separation of the layers of graphite in liquids, such as common organic solvents and aqueous surfactant solutions. In this work the exfoliation of graphite was performed in liquid phase by sonication in aqueous suspension in the presence of an industrial reagent. A comparison with suspensions not using the polymeric surfactant indicates that its presence is necessary, because it prevents the re-agglomeration of the layers after sonication, through the multipolar and electrostatic repulsion mechanism. This result coincides with the reports of most recent works on liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite. / Os diferentes métodos de obtenção de materiais bidimensionais estão sendo pesquisados intensamente, devido a suas promissoras propriedades físicas e químicas. Entre os métodos de obtenção de grafeno, a esfoliação em fase líquida (LPE) de grafite está demonstrando ser um processo relativamente simples e eficaz de produção de flocos de alta qualidade e em larga escala. Ela se baseia principalmente na separação das camadas de grafite em líquidos, tais como solventes orgânicos comuns e soluções surfactantes aquosas. Neste trabalho foi realizada a esfoliação de grafite em fase líquida através da sonificação em suspensão aquosa em presença um reagente industrial. A comparação com resultados usando suspensões sem o agente surfactante polimérico indica que a presença deste é necessária, pois evita a reaglomeração das camadas após a sonificação, através do mecanismo de multipolo e repulsão eletrostática. Este resultado coincide com os reportes dos trabalhos mais recentes realizados sobre esfoliação em fase líquida de grafite.

Para efeitos de comparação foram produzidos e caracterizados compactados da liga AA6061 sem adição de reforços. Foram investigados os parâmetros de processo: teores de reforço (5% e 10% massa), teor de aditivos Pb e Sn (0,1, 0,15, 0,2 e 0,4% massa), pressão de compactação (400, 600 e 800 MPa), tempos (15, 30, 45 e 60 min) e temperatura de sinterização (590, 600, 610 e 620 ºC). Em cada etapa do processo foram caracterizados os produtos (mistura de pós e compactados); o produto final obtido, após sinterização, foi caracterizado com relação à sua microestrutura, propriedades físicas (densificação e variação dimensional) e mecânicas (resistência à flexão e dureza). Os resultados obtidos mostraram uma grande eficiência do processo na obtenção de compósitos; a adição do teor de reforço de 5%TiCN foi eficiente na promoção de rupturas das camadas de óxidos do pó da liga de alumínio compactado à pressão de 400 MPa, auxiliando a sinterização por difusão da fase líquida formada a partir da fusão de Al+Mg2Si, melhorando a densificação e diminuindo a variação dimensional dos produtos sinterizados. Do ponto de vista metalúrgico, os materiais compósitos obtidos apresentaram microestruturas homogêneas, com uma boa distribuição dos reforços na matriz e relativa diminuição de poros. A adição de Pb e Sn promovem maior eficiência de ativação de mecanismos de sinterização; para compactados produzidos à pressão de 800 MPa, a adição de 0,1% desses elementos já apresentou significativa influência na sinterização. Com relação às propriedades mecânicas e físicas observou-se que a adição de TiCN aumentou quase no dobro de seus valores obtidos quando são comparados com a liga AA6061 / Abstract: This work investigates the process of production of composites of the alloy AA6061 reinforced with TiCN particles, by powder metallurgy involving the steps: conventional mixture of powders, compaction by uniaxial cold pressing and sintering with formation of a liquid phase. For comparative analysis it was also produced sintered AA6061 without addition of reinforcements. The following processing parameters were studied: reinforcing particles content (5 and 10 wt%); content of trace elements Pb and Sn (0.1, 0.15, 0.2 0.4 wt%); compaction pressure (from 400, 600 and 800 MPa); time and temperature of sintering (15, 30, 45, 60 min and 590, 600, 610, 620 oC). In each step products were characterized (powder mixture and green compacts); the final sintered product was characterized related to microstructure, physical (densification and dimensional changes) and mechanical (hardness and bending strength) properties. Obtained results showed high efficiency of the applied process to produce reliable composite products; the addition of 5 wt% TiCN was efficient to promote fracture of the oxide layer in the aluminum particles surface during pressing. At sintering temperatures liquid phase is formed by Al+Mg2Si melting and is distributed among particles through the fractures of the oxide layer, improving the material densification and its mechanical properties. Microstructures obtained showed homogeneous distribution of TiCN and reduced porosity, whereas AA6061 alloy microstructure showed higher porosity. Addition of Pb and Sn promoted higher efficiency of sintering mechanisms in compacts submitted to high pressures, leading to enhanced physical and mechanical properties in those materials. / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica

Croissance homo-épitaxiale VLS et étude du dopage au magnésium de GaN pour la protection périphérique de composants de puissance / Homoepitaxial VLS Growth and Mg doping of GaN for the peripheral protection of power devices

Jaud, Alexandre 25 September 2017 (has links)
Dans le contexte de la protection périphérique des composants de puissance en GaN, nous avons exploré une voie originale pour réaliser l'homo-épitaxie localisée de GaN de type p, reposant sur une approche Vapeur-Liquide-Solide (VLS). Le cycle de croissance comprend 3 étapes successives. Dans un premier temps, du Ga est déposé par MOCVD, formant un réseau de gouttelettes de diamètres submicrométriques. Puis, du Mg est incorporé aux gouttelettes à partir de la phase gazeuse, en utilisant le précurseur (MeCP)2Mg. Enfin, les gouttelettes de Ga-Mg sont nitrurées à 500-700°C sous un flux de NH3 dilué dans un gaz porteur. À l'issue d'un cycle complet de croissance, on obtient systématiquement un réseau de plots et/ou d'anneaux de GaN, bien séparés. L'augmentation de la teneur en Mg dans les gouttes favorise un mécanisme de croissance purement VLS, à l'interface Liq/Sol (formation de plots), plutôt qu'une croissance le long de la ligne triple (formation d'anneaux). Ces structures de GaN présentent un caractère homo-épitaxial, mais une plus forte défectuosité que leur germe. En utilisant une approche multi-cycles, nous avons pu élaborer des films de GaN:Mg présentant des concentrations en Mg très élevées, contrôlables entre 3.1019 cm-3 et 8.1021 cm-3. Cependant, de fortes concentrations en impuretés C, H et O ont également été détectées dans ces films. Diverses voies ont été explorées, sans succès, pour tenter de réduire la contamination en O, d'un niveau rédhibitoire pour l'obtention d'un dopage de type p. En pratique, les films de GaN:Mg obtenus apparaissent très conducteurs de type n, pour des dopages au Mg modérés, et semi-isolants aux plus forts dopages. Différents matériaux de masques ont été testés en vue de localiser la croissance / For peripheral protection of GaN power electronics devices, we have explored a new approach for performing localized homo-epitaxy of p-doped GaN, by implementing Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) transport. The growth cycle includes three successive steps. At first, Ga is deposited onto the seed surface by MOCVD from TEG, resulting in an array of Ga droplets with submicrometric diameters. Then, Mg is incorporated into the droplets from the gas phase, using (MeCP)2Mg precursor. In the last step, Ga-Mg droplets are nitridated at 500-700°C in flowing ammonia diluted in a carrier gas.After one complete growth cycle, a network of well separated submicrometric GaN dots or ring-shaped features is systematically obtained. Increasing the Mg incorporation into the droplets drastically influences the growth mode, promoting a pure VLS growth mechanism, at the Liquid/Solid interface, versus growth at the triple line. Such GaN structures show a homo-epitaxial relationship with the seed, but a higher crystalline imperfection. Using a multi-cycles approach, GaN films could be obtained, with very high Mg concentrations tunable from 3.1019 to 8.1021 cm-3. Nevertheless, O, C and H impurities are also incorporated at high levels. Various approaches have been vainly investigated to try reducing O contamination level, prohibitive for obtaining p-type material. Actually, as-grown GaN:Mg films are n-type and highly conductive, for moderate Mg concentrations, and become semi-insulating at highest doping levels. Various masking materials have been tested for growth localization purpose
