Previous issue date: 2009-03-30 / The use of polymer based coatings is a promising approach to reduce the corrosion problem in carbon steel pipes used for the transport of oil and gas in the oil industry. However, conventional polymer coatings offer limited properties, which often cannot meet design requirements for this type of application, particularly in regard to use temperature and wear resistance. Polymer nanocomposites are known to exhibit superior properties and, therefore, offer great potential for this type of application. Nevertheless, the degree of enhancement of a particular property is greatly dependent upon the matrix/nanoparticle material system used, the matrix/nanoparticle interfacial bonding and also the state of dispersion of the nanoparticle in the polymer matrix. The objective of the present research is to develop and characterize polymer based nanocomposites to be used as coatings in metallic pipelines for the transportation of oil and natural gas. Epoxy/SiO2 nanocomposites with nanoparticle contents of 2, 4, and 8 wt % were processed using a high-energy mill. Modifications of the SiO2 nanoparticles‟ surfaces with two different silane agents were carried out and their effect on the material properties were investigated. The state of dispersion of the materials processed was studied using Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM and TEM) micrographs. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) were also conducted to determine the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. In addition, the processed nanocomposites were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to investigate the effect of nanoparticles content and silane treatment on the viscoelastic properties and on the glass transition temperature. Finally, wear tests of the pin-on-disc type were carried out to determine the effects of the nanoparticles and the silane treatments studied. According to the results, the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles treated with silane increased the thermal stability, the storage modulus and Tg of the epoxy resin and decreased wear rate. This confirms that the interaction between the nanoparticles and the polymer chains plays a critical role on the properties of the nanocomposites / A utiliza??o de pol?mero como revestimento ? algo promissor para redu??o de corros?o interna de dutos de a?o carbono utilizados no transporte de petr?leo e g?s natural na ind?stria petrol?fera. No entanto, os revestimentos polim?ricos convencionais apresentam propriedades limitadas, que muitas vezes n?o podem satisfazer os requisitos necess?rios, particularmente em rela??o ? temperatura empregada e ao desgaste. Nanocomp?sitos polim?ricos s?o conhecidos por apresentarem propriedades superiores e, portanto, apresentam potencial para este tipo de aplica??o. Por?m, o grau de refor?o de uma propriedade particular ? fortemente dependente dos materiais utilizados no sistema matriz/nanopart?culas, da liga??o interfacial e, tamb?m, do estado de dispers?o das nanopart?culas na matriz polim?rica. O objetivo do presente trabalho ? desenvolver e caracterizar nanocomp?sitos polim?ricos para utiliza??o como revestimento de dutos met?licos da ind?stria do petr?leo. Nanocomp?sitos Ep?xi/SiO2 com 2, 4 e 8% em massa de nanopart?culas foram processados usando um moinho de alta energia. Modifica??es nas superf?cies das nanopart?culas de SiO2 foram realizadas com dois tipos diferentes de silano e seus efeitos sobre as propriedades dos materiais foram investigados. O estado de dispers?o do material processado foi estudado usando micrografias de Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura e de Transmiss?o (MEV e MET). Foram realizadas an?lises termogravim?tricas (TG) para verificar a estabilidade t?rmica dos nanocomp?sitos. Al?m disso, foram realizadas an?lises din?mico-mec?nicas (DMA) para estudar os efeitos das nanopart?culas e dos tratamentos com silano nas propriedades viscoel?sticas e na temperatura de transi??o v?trea (Tg). Por fim, testes de desgaste do tipo esfera-disco foram realizados para determinar os efeitos da adi??o de nanopart?culas e dos diferentes tipos de tratamento de silaniza??o estudados. De acordo com os resultados, a adi??o nanopart?culas de SiO2 tratadas com silano aumentou a temperatura de in?cio de degrada??o do pol?mero, o m?dulo de armazenamento e a Tg da resina ep?xi, al?m de ter proporcionado uma menor taxa de desgaste. Isto confirma que a intera??o entre as nanopart?culas e as cadeias polim?ricas desempenha um papel cr?tico sobre as propriedades dos nanocomp?sitos
