Full textIn the frame of the nuclear waste reprocessing and various kinds of critical metals recycling methods, solvent extraction is one of the most used technological processes. The liquid interface between two immiscible fluids is considered as a region where many physical and chemical phenomena take place and can limit or promote the transfer of species between both fluids. The structure of these interfaces has to be known as a function of several thermodynamical parameters to be able to determine the associated energy landscape. X-ray and neutron reflectivity are suitable techniques to probe such kind of fluctuating and buried interfaces at the nanometer scale and at equilibrium. For this study, a new cell has been built and a specific data analysis procedure was established.We have focused our study on two different biphasic systems (water/dodecane) containing lanthanides salts and two different nonionic ligands or extractant molecules: DMDBTDMA and DMDOHEMA diamides. These ligands are known to have different behaviour in the lanthanides extraction process. Although the amphiphilic chemical structure of both diamides is well known, the structure of the liquid/liquid interface appears to be different as those expected for a classical surfactant molecule. This structure looks more complex, varies as a function of the ligand concentration in the organic phase (below the critical aggregation concentration) and as a function of the proton and salt concentration of the aqueous phase. A monolayer organization does not appear as the main interfacial structuration and a thicker organic layer with an excess of salt has to be considered.In the case of the DMDBTDMA, this thicker region (approximatively three or four times the length of the ligand) creates an interfacial region where oil and water molecules as well as some salts can mix in. The DMDOHEMA system shows a different structuration where we can roughly observe also a thick layer of the ligand (approximatively two times the length of the ligand) but located more within the oil phase and forming a barrier to the salt distribution. These different interfacial structures made of DMDBTDMA and DMDOHEMA could allow to explain the diffusive or kinetic regime of ion transfer observed respectively in similar systems by others authors

Full textIn this thesis, the objective is to control the polymer-grafted gold nanoparticles optical properties (SPR) by tuning the protecting polymer shell structural properties. Gold nanoparticles grafted with thermosensitive polymers with a large range of molecular masses and different degrees of hydrophobicity are synthesized by “grafting-to” technique. SANS is employed to characterize the protecting polymer shell structural properties. The absorption spectra are modeled using the Mie Dipolar theory. It is shown that the gold nanoparticle sensitivity to external solvent is progressively reduced with increasing polymer volume fraction of the nanocomposite until the SPR is frozen by the polymer shell. In this case, the SPR mode becomes insensitive to the dielectric properties of the solvent. SPR is also red-shifted (a color change occurs) by thermally inducing the collapse of the polymer shell. The temperature and the extent of the red-shift are controlled by the graft polymer hydrophobicity and salinity. An important part of this thesis is also dedicated to the polymer-protected gold nanoparticles behaviour at the air-water interface. The Langmuir balance technique is used to build interfacial layers whose interparticle distance is modulated by compression, polymer graft chain length and temperature. The interfacial layer structural properties are determined by studying both the polymer graft layer conformation and the gold core organization with neutron and X-ray reflectivities. These reflectivitity measurements also enable us to evaluate and ameliorate the surface layers stability for a better control of the interparticle distance that is important for optimizing the SPR of the surface layer

Full textArtworks do not last forever. They are composed of evolving materials which get altered over time. Indeed, the varnishes of easel paintings lose their initial visual appearance by deposition of dust and soot suspended in the air, by oxidation and by structural modification, e.g. the effect of free radicals. In order to reverse the evolution of these processes, paints are periodically restored with replacement of old varnishes. It requires the swelling and dissolution of the layer of polymeric varnish by solvents that can be penetrating and polar. These solvents can significantly alter the composition and cohesion of the original materials of the painting located under the varnish layers. It is therefore urgent to better understand the processes used in restoration operations, in particular when replacing varnishes. Conscious of this urgency, conservators and scientists propose to use aqueous gels/solvents to only transfer the quantities of solvents that are necessary for the dissolution of the varnish. The macroscopic images obtained before and after application of these gels demonstrate the efficiency of this method. However, the physical and chemical processes involved are still poorly understood. The aim of this thesis is to better understand the physics of polymer films in contact with solvent/non-solvent and solvent/gel mixtures, following the same processes used in the restoration of works of art. To study the physical processes of this method, we have used neutron beam reflection, in our case neutron reflectivity NR and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) combined with local visualizations, in particular optical microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The polymer resin chosen is Laropal A81 (LA81), the solvent is benzyl alcohol (BA) and the hydrogel is Pemulen TR2. The NR allows to observe in situ the physical behaviour of ultrathin polymer films deposited on silicon blocks. This behaviour is happening during the kinetics of swelling by the good solvent then by the bad solvent followed by the dissolution and disappearance of the varnish film. The water used is D2O (W), which has a very high diffusion length density (SLD) compared to those of the LA81 and the BA. It is therefore possible to differentiate by their contrasts the spatial distributions of the BA and the D2O. The SLD of the LA81 was first determined. Then the thickness of the LA81 was modelled, as well as the roughness of the various elements. By using these thickness and SLD values, the volume fractions of the various components in the varnish film were calculated. The variations of these fractions of BA ϕBA and D2O ϕW which have penetrated into the films have been discussed as a function of the solvent concentration and the temperature. In parallel, a ternary phase diagram using Flory-Huggins (F-H) interaction parameters was plotted for the solvent/non-solvent system using NR results, intrinsic viscosity measurements, and turbidity measurements. The interaction parameters, were obtained by calculating the phase diagram using a F-H model. The understanding of the phenomena was deduced from the analysis of the NR spectra, supplemented by the observations made in optical microscopy and AFM. The AFM allowed to obtain the depth profile of the objects appearing in the film in the presence of the BA/W mixture. A SANS experiment on thick films (0.5-1.5 µm) gave spectra of intensities as a function of evolved time. These spectra were modelled according to Porod’s law. The interface area was plotted according to the values of ΧLA/BA. These results were supplemented by QCM-D measurements showing the kinetics of swelling and dissolution over hours and days after contact with the solvent/no-filler system. In conclusion, our experimental studies associated to the F-H model allowed a better and detailed understanding of the swelling and dissolution of thick and thin LA81 films deposited on silicon blocks and exposed to a solvent/non-solvent binary mixture

Full textCNCs are biobased nanorods that are attracting increasing attention from both the academic and industrial communities due to their numerous properties such as renewability, high specific surface area, excellent mechanical properties, light weight, or non-toxicity. CNCs are thus considered as highly promising blocks for the production of high performance biobased composites. In the last ten years, negatively charged CNCs have been associated with natural or synthetic polycations or neutral biopolymers within multilayered films built by the layer-by-layer assembly technique. In the present study, we have investigated three new research axes in the CNC-based multilayers field. In a first part, polymer chains have been replaced by positively charged inorganic Gibbsite nanoplatelets (GN) to form innovative hybrid nanoparticules-based thin films. We have shown that the architecture of (CNC/GN) films can be tuned over a wide range by adjusting the physico-chemical parameters such as the aspect ratio of the CNC, the ionic strength, or the drying protocol. The detailed internal structure of the multilayered films has been elucidated by the complementary use of AFM and neutron reflectivity (NR) and was attributed to a combination of different interaction forces. In a second part, the resistance to humidity of purely biobased films was investigated by comparing films where CNCs are associated either with neutral xyloglucan chains or with oxidized ones. AFM and NR reveal that the kinetics of water intake and hydration strongly depends on the possibility to form inter- and intra-layer hemiacetal bonds forming a covalent network. The third axis concerns the production of uniformly oriented macroscopic surfaces of CNCs to build anisotropic multilayered nanocomposites. Enhanced alignment was achieved by the use of laminar shear flow.The fine tuning of the structural features of all the multilayered systems studied gives rise to specific macroscopic physical properties. The mechanical properties of films of various architectures (Young’s modulus) have thus been measured using the strain induced elastic buckling instability for mechanical measurements (SIEBIMM) technique and tentatively related to the film’s structure. The tunable properties of such multilayered systems pave the way to the design of thin films and coatings for separation membranes or supports for flexible electronics

Full textConcentrated phases of proteins are the subject of numerous studies aiming at identifying and characterizing the interactions and phase transitions at play, using the large corpus of knowledge in the field of concentrated colloids. Those concentrated phases of proteins have, in addition, a great importance in various fields, such as food industry, pharmaceutical industry and medicine. The establishment of equations of state relating osmotic pressure (Ð) and volume fraction (Φ) is an efficient way of characterization of the interactions between the components of a system. We applied this method to solutions of two globular proteins, lysozyme and ovalbumin, spanning volume fractions ranging from a dilute phase ( Φ < 0,01) to a concentrated, solid phase ( Φ > 0,62). The equations of state, coupled to other methods (SAXS, numerical simulations), enabled us to show that the two proteins carry a very different behavior when submitted to concentration and that their complexity is beyond that of colloids. Relating equations of state and interfacial behavior of these two proteins also showed points of convergence and enabled us to formulate a new hypothesis which explains some of the results obtained in the study of adsorption of proteins at the air-water interface

Full textL'adsorption de myoglobine deutérée sur des monocouches hydrophobes d'OTS et de PS a été étudiée par réflectivité de neutrons pour des solutions de protéines de différentes concentrations (de 1 mg/ml à 0.01 mg/ml). A basse concentration, les protéines adsorbées se dénaturent et s'étalent sur le substrat hydrophobe et l'adsorption résulte en une fine couche dense en protéines. Sur le PS, les protéines s'étalent moins, ce qui est en accord avec la moindre hydrophobicité du PS. A haute concentration, une couche supplémentaire peu dénaturée est observée au-dessus de la première couche.
La cinétique d'adsorption primaire de HSA a été étudiée par ellipsométrie sur des brosses de PEG (Mw = 35700 Da) de différentes densités de greffage. Les résultats confirment que les brosses de PEG répriment l'adsorption de protéines. En outre, l'adsorption est très rapide sur le PS, tandis que sur les brosses, l'adsorption est plus lente. Le comportement à temps long de la quantité adsorbée Γ en fonction de la densité de greffage σ est en accord semi-quantitatif avec une théorie développée par Halperin et basée sur les différentes contributions à l'énergie libre d'une protéine adsorbée. Il a également été mis en évidence un régime pour lequel le taux d'adsorption dΓ/dt décroît exponentiellement avec la quantité de protéines adsorbées Γ.
L'adsorption de protéines (lysozyme, HSA et myoglobine) a ensuite été étudiée sur des brosses de PNIPAM en fonction des paramètres de la brosse et de la température. Les brosses ont été greffées par ATRP à partir d'une monocouche d'OEG (oligo éthylène glycol) silanisé contenant du brome comme initiateur. Il a été montré que l'adsorption primaire sur la surface de greffage est inférieure à 0.1 mg/m^2 et que l'adsorption ternaire dans la brosse, en dessous et au-dessus de la LCST, ne dépasse pas 1 mg/m^2 (~ 2% de fraction volumique en protéines). La résistance à l'adsorption a été associée à la présence d'une région hydrophile superficielle qui pourrait présenter une barrière cinétique à l'adsorption des protéines dans le cœur moins polaire de la brosse.
L'ensemble de ces résultats montre que les propriétés interfaciales du substrat jouent un rôle crucial dans les processus d'adsorption des protéines.

Full textIn many cases, the development of surfaces with specific adhesive properties involves the use of "decorated interfaces." These interfaces consist of a solid substrate on which polymer chains are more or less well anchored. These chains are mechanically coupled to the surrounding material and control the transmission of friction and adhesion stresses at the interfaces. This coupling depends particularly on the penetration of the surface chains within the matrix and on their own dynamics. In this thesis, the systems we investigated are composed of a layer of polymer chains whose end is covalently linked to a solid substrate. These, so called, polymer brushes, provide a model system for decorated interfaces. Our objective was to study the conformation and dynamics of these grafted chains when they are subjected to different types of stress in order to understand the molecular mechanisms governing the adhesion and friction properties of this type of interface.In the first part, we investigated the healing kinetics of an interface composed initially of grafted chains collapsed on a substrate and in contact with a molten by using neutron reflectivity. When the system is brought above the glass transition temperature, the polymer chains mobility is high enough to allow the penetration of the grafted chains within the polymer melt. Neutrons reflectivity allowed us to probe at the molecular scale and to quantify the healing kinetics of this type of interface. The influence of molecular parameters on this healing kinetics was observed, which allowed us to propose a scaling law model to give a physical interpretation to the phenomenon studied.The second part of this thesis consisted in the development of an experimental setup which is able to shear a brush / melt interface above the glass transition temperature and to freeze the conformation of chains grafted in their sheared conformation. The inversion of the associated neutron reflectivity spectra made it possible to demonstrate the influence of shear on the degree of interpenetration between the brush and the melt which governs the transmission of stresses. In addition, we measured the kinetics of relaxation of grafted chains previously sheared and we compared it to the interdigitation experiments. This comparison highlighted the influence of the kind of solicitation on the relaxation kinetics of a brush/melt interface.We also observed that the relaxation kinetics and the conformation of the grafted chains may be altered when they are confined in a film which thickness is comparable to the radius of gyration of the chains. A systematic study using neutron reflectivity was conducted and highlighted an acceleration of the relaxation kinetics of the system below a critical thickness which could be interpreted in terms of a shift in the glass transition temperature.Secondly, we studied the slip of polymer solutions onto a grafted surface. The volume fraction of free chains in solution is an additional parameter which controls the degree of interpenetration between free chains and grafted chains. A first theoretical approach showed that different slip regimes can occur as a function of volume fraction. We have undertaken a first series of experiments using laser velocimetry after photobleaching to measure the surface velocity of flowing polymer solutions and to compare the experimental results to our theoretical approach

Full textA new approach is described herein, where neutron reflectivity measurements that probe changes in the density profile of thin films as they absorb material from the gas phase have been combined with a Love wave based gravimetric assay that measures the mass of absorbed material. This combination of techniques not only determines the spatial distribution of absorbed molecules, but also reveals the amount of void space within the thin film (a quantity that can be difficult to assess using neutron reflectivity measurements alone). The uptake of organic solvent vapours into spun cast films of polystyrene has been used as a model system with a view to this method having the potential for extension to the study of other systems. These could include, for example, humidity sensors, hydrogel swelling, biomolecule adsorption or transformations of electroactive and chemically reactive thin films. This is the first ever demonstration of combined neutron reflectivity and Love wave-based gravimetry and the experimental caveats, limitations and scope of the method are explored and discussed in detail.

The magnetic coupling between two permalloy layers with Cr separating layer was studied using longitude magneto-optical Kerr effect measurement (LMOKE), polarized neutron and X-ray diffraction XRD. The coupling between two permalloy layers is antiferromagnetic-like when the Cr thickness is near 2.4 nm along the easy axis. A strong biquadratic coupling term has been found from the polarized neutron reflectivity study. The strong biquadratic coupling may be caused by the rough interface between the permalloy and Cr layers. The coupling strength is getting stronger as lower temperature but higher than a phase change temperature TN. As the temperature is lower than TN, the coupling strength drops sharply. It's believed that the TN is short-range antiferromagnetic order and long-range antiferromagnetic order of the type of an incommensurate spin density wave transition. The missing GMR effect of this system might be due to this strong biquadratic coupling of the permalloy layers. X-ray diffraction, X-ray anomalous scattering and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy are used to study the structure of epitaxial films. The hysterisis loop with two-fold symmetry was discussed with the crystal structure. Usual X-ray diffraction was hard to determine the structure of Cr because the film was so thin. The anomalous X-ray diffraction and reflectivity is helpful to analyze the structure and interface roughness of Cr layer with permalloy neighbors. X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy was also done to study the Cr structure. As the Cr layer is thinner, the absorption spectrum of Cr is more fcc-like as permalloy. On the opposite, as the Cr layer is thicker, the spectrum of Cr is more similar to bcc bulk Cr. The results imply that the Cr layer with permalloy neighbors could have slight of interdiffusion. Another possibility is the thin Cr layer could be strained by permalloy neighbors and formed psudomorphic fcc structure.
