Les métaux micro ou nanoporeux sont très attrayants notamment pour leur grande surface spécifique. Le désalliage dans un bain de métal liquide permet une dissolution sélective d'une espèce chimique (l'élément soluble) à partir d'un alliage d'origine (le précurseur) composé de l'élément soluble et d'un élément cible (qui deviendra nano/micro poreux) non soluble dans le bain de métal liquide. Quand le précurseur est plongé dans le bain de métal liquide, à son contact, l'élément soluble va se dissoudre dans le bain tandis que l'élément cible va en parallèle se réorganiser spontanément afin de former une structure poreuse. Quand l'échantillon est retiré du bain, il est sous la forme d'une structure bi-continue composée de deux phases : l'une étant la structure poreuse composée de l'élément cible et l'autre est une phase dans laquelle est présente l'élément du bain avec l'élément sacrificiel en solution solide. Cette phase peut être dissoute par une attaque chimique afin d’obtenir le métal nano/micro poreux. Les objectifs principaux de cette thèse sont l'élaboration et la caractérisation microstructurale et mécanique de 3 différents types de matériaux par désalliage dans un bain de métal liquide : des composites métal-métal (FeCr-Mg), des métaux poreux (FeCr) et des composites métal-polymère (FeCr-matrice époxy). Le dernier objectif est l'évaluation des possibilités d'utiliser la technique de désalliage dans un bain de métal liquide dans un contexte industriel. L'étude de la microstructure est basée sur des observations 3D faites par tomographie aux rayons X et des analyses 2D réalisées en microscopie électronique (SEM, EDX, EBSD). Pour mieux comprendre le désalliage, le procédé a été suivi in situ en tomographie aux rayons X et diffraction. Enfin, les propriétés mécaniques ont été évaluées par nanoindentation et compressionNanoporous metals have attracted considerable attention for their excellent functional properties. The first developed technique used to prepare such nanoporous noble metals is dealloying in aqueous solution. Porous structures with less noble metals such as Ti or Fe are highly desired for various applications including energy-harvesting devices. The less noble metals, unstable in aqueous solution, are oxidized immediately when they contact water at a given potential so aqueous dealloying is only possible for noble metals. To overcome this limitation, a new dealloying method using a metallic melt instead of aqueous solution was developed. Liquid metal dealloying is a selective dissolution phenomenon of a mono-phase alloy solid precursor: one component (referred as soluble component) being soluble in the metallic melt while the other (referred as targeted component) is not. When the solid precursor contacts the metallic melt, only atoms of the soluble component dissolve into the melt inducing a spontaneously organized bi-continuous structure (targeted+sacrificial phases), at a microstructure level. This sacrificial phase can finally be removed by chemical etching to obtain the final nanoporous materials. Because this is a water-free process, it has enabled the preparation of nanoporous structures in less noble metals such as Ti, Si, Fe, Nb, Co and Cr. The objectives of this study are the fabrication and the microstructure and mechanical characterization of 3 different types of materials by dealloying process : (i) metal/metal composites (FeCr-Mg), (ii) porous metal (FeCr) (iii) metal/polymer composites (FeCr-epoxy resin). The last objective is the evaluation of the possibilities to apply liquid metal dealloying in an industrial context. The microstructure study was based on 3D observation by X-ray tomography and 2D analysis with electron microscopy (SEM, SEM-EDX, SEM-EBSD). To have a better understanding of the dealloying, the process was followed in situ by X-ray tomography and X-ray diffraction. Finally the mechanical properties were evaluated by nanoindentation and compression

Spray forming with eo-injection of a solid particulate phase to form a metal-metal composite has been studied as a new route for manufacture. Two Al-based matrices were investigated: AI-12Si for testing the feasibility of the new manufacturing route and Al-4Cu for providing better mechanical performance. For both composite types, Ti was chosen as the particulate phase and the processing-microstructure-property relationships then studied. At Peak Werkstoff GmbH, Germany 12 wt%Ti particles were eo-injected into an atomised Al alloy droplet spray and eo-deposited to form a rv300 kg billet. The microstructure comprised refined equiaxed a-AI grains (rv5fLm), spherical Si particles (rv5fLm) and uniformly distributed Ti particles (rv80fLm). Sections of the billet were extruded under a range of conditions into long strips 20mm wide and 6mm, 2.5mm and 1mm thickness. At high strains, the Ti particles were deformed into continuous fibres of a few microns in thickness. Accumulative roll bonding was then performed to higher total strains, while maintaining a constant cross-section, reducing the Ti fibres to sub-micron thickness. The fibres were studied by extraction after selective dissolution of the a-AI matrix. There was no interfacial reaction between a-AI and Ti or any measurable oxide formation, thus providing encouragement for the manufacture of metal-metal composites by eo-spray forming. A powder injection pump was successfully integrated and commissioned on the spray forming facility at Oxford University. The pump was calibrated to optimise powder flow rates. Three AI-4Cu+ Ti composite billets were processed with each containing Ti powder with a different processing history. Up to 20vol%Ti was successfully incorporated, however due to the cooling effect from powder injection, porosity was significant. The quenching effect provided a finer AI-4Cu grain structure in the region of Ti injection, and also promoted precipitation of O'-AbCu precipitates. A Ti/ Al-4Cu interfacial reaction was more prominent in the billet spray formed at 850°C than those spray formed at 750°C. Angular Ti processed by a hydride-dehydride route had better deformation characteristics than spherical gas atomised Ti. Deformation processing by extrusion and rolling was investigated for Al-4Cu+20vol%Ti using SEM, EBSD and FIB. After extrusion to a strain of 5, the composite contained elongated reinforcing fibres characteristic of metal-metal composites. The microstructure studied by EBSD revealed equiaxed polygonal Al-4Cu matrix grains. Rolling was not as efficient as extrusion in producing elongated Ti fibres and was attributed to a lower deformation processing temperature. The rolled composites consisted of elongated Al-4Cu grains 1-5J1m in thickness. An UTS of 339MPa at a strain of 3 was attributed to texture strengthening in the Q- AI.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORPROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
Neste trabalho foram estudados quatro geometrias de componentes tubulares, para trabalho sob pressão interna, que continham defeitos tipo perda de espessura metálica em regiões de sua superfície externa e que foram reparados por dois sistemas de materiais compósitos. As seguintes geometrias de espécimes tubulares foram estudadas: dutos com redução de diâmetro, dutos curvados a frio, dutos curvados a quente e uniões tubulares em T. Os dois sistemas de materiais compósitos consistiram de um sistema com mantas de resina epóxi reforçadas por fibra de vidro (ERFV) e outro sistema com mantas de resina epóxi reforçadas por fibra de carbono (ERFC). O método de Elementos Finitos foi usado para simular o comportamento dos espécimes quando submetidos a testes hidrostáticos. As simulações levaram em consideração o comportamento do material dos tubos API 5L Grau B nas suas regiões elástica e plástica, e investigaram o aumento da resistência à ruptura dos tubos com defeitos proporcionados pela presença dos reparos compósitos. Os resultados obtidos com os modelos de elementos finitos, usados para as determinações de distribuições de deformações e de pressões de ruptura, foram comparados com resultados experimentais disponíveis para cada componente tubular. Os resultados destas comparações foram satisfatórios. Posteriormente, foram desenvolvidas equações para determinar espessuras otimizadas para os reparos e os resultados obtidos com estas equações foram comparados com os resultados das simulações por elementos finitos e outros resultados obtidos com equações disponíveis em normas pertinentes. Em conclusão, o método de elementos finitos usado neste trabalho simulou satisfatoriamente o comportamento em testes hidrostáticos de componentes tubulares tipo Tê, com redução concêntrica, curvados a quente e curvados a frio, com defeitos de perda de espessura metálica e que foram reparados com materiais compósitos. Por sua vez, os resultados numéricos auxiliaram na validação de equações analíticas simples que poderão ser usadas na determinação de espessuras otimizadas de sistemas de reparos com materiais compósitos.
This dissertation investigates four geometries of pipe components that operate with internal pressure and contain metal loss defects in areas of their external surface. These components were repaired with two systems of composite materials that consisted of epoxy resin reinforced by glass fiber (ERFV) and epoxy resin reinforced by carbon fiber (ERFC). The following tubular specimens were studied: components with concentric diameter reducers, hot curved short radius elbow components, cold curved long radius elbow components and T-components. The finite element method was used to simulate the behavior of the specimens when submitted to hydrostatic tests. The simulations took into consideration the behavior of the material of the pipes API 5L Grade B in their elastic and plastic regions, and investigated the increase in the rupture strength of the pipes with defects that was provided by the presence of composite repairs. The results obtained with the finite element models, used for the determination of distributions of deformation and burst pressures, were compared with experimental results available for each pipe component. The results of these comparisons were satisfactory. Subsequently, simple analytical equations were developed to determine the optimized thicknesses for the composite repair systems and the results obtained from these equations were compared with the results determined with the finite element models and with other results obtained with equations recommended by international relevant standards. In conclusion, the finite element method used in this work satisfactorily simulated the behavior of the selected pipe components with defects of metal loss that were hydrostatically tested and that were repaired with composites materials. The numerical results helped to validate simple analytical equations that can be used in the determination of the optimized thicknesses of repair systems with composite materials.

Les catalyseurs à base de zéolite ont été largement utilisés dans la conversion de la biomasse. Les rendements catalytiques des produits recherchés sont fortement limités en raison de la taille relativement petite des pores dans les zéolithes et la préparation du catalyseur par imprégnation conduit généralement à des nanoparticules métalliques relativement grosses et à un faible contact entre les sites métalliques et acides. Le but de ce travail est la conception de catalyseurs nanocomposites métal-zéolithe contenant des nanoparticules de ruthénium uniformément réparties dans les zéolithes hiérarchiques BEA et ZSM-5. L'utilisation de ruthénium évite la formation de silicates et d'aluminates métalliques inertes difficilement réductibles, tandis que les nanotubes de carbone avec des nanoparticules d'oxyde métallique supportées jouent un rôle de gabarit sacrificiel, ce qui permet de créer une mésoporosité et d'apporter une fonctionnalité métallique à l'intérieur de la matrice zéolithique. Par rapport aux catalyseurs métalliques supportés par des zéolites classiques, les zéolites ruthénium hiérarchiques synthétisées présentaient une activité beaucoup plus élevée et une sélectivité en méthane plus faible dans la synthèse Fischer-Tropsch. La caractérisation des catalyseurs préparés a indiqué l'initiation de la cristallisation des zéolites sur des nanoparticules métalliques. Cet effet a en outre été utilisé pour augmenter la dispersion de nanoparticules métalliques par cristallisation secondaire de Ru supporté sur ZSM-5. Nos résultats montrent une redispersion significative des nanoparticules d'oxyde métallique incorporées et une augmentation de l'activité des réactions modèles. De plus, une stratégie de synthèse a été développée pour la préparation de catalyseurs nanocomposites métalliques et zéolithiques hiérarchiques pour la synthèse directe d'iso-paraffines à partir de gaz de synthèse. Les nanocomposites sont synthétisés en trois étapes. Dans la première étape, la zéolite mère (noyau) est gravée avec une solution de fluorure d'ammonium. La gravure crée de petits mésopores à l'intérieur des cristaux de zéolite. Dans la deuxième étape, les nanoparticules de Ru préparées à l'aide de microémulsion eau-dans-huile sont déposées dans les mésopores de la zéolithe. Dans la troisième étape, une enveloppe de zéolite de zéolites de type MFI (silicalite-1 ou ZSM-5) est cultivée sur les cristaux de zéolite parent recouvrant à la fois la surface gravée et les nanoparticules métalliques. Ainsi, les nanoparticules métalliques deviennent entièrement encapsulées à l'intérieur de la matrice zéolithique. Les paramètres les plus importants tels que la teneur en ruthénium, la mésoporosité de la zéolite, et plus particulièrement, l'acidité de l'enveloppe du catalyseur, qui affectent les performances catalytiques des matériaux nanocomposites synthétisés dans la synthèse Fischer-Tropsch à basse température ont été identifiés dans ce travail. La quantité relative plus élevée d'iso-paraffines a été observée sur les catalyseurs contenant une enveloppe de ZSM-5. La proximité entre les sites métalliques et acides dans l'enveloppe zéolithique des catalyseurs nanocomposites est un paramètre crucial pour la conception de catalyseurs bifonctionnels zéolithiques métalliques efficaces pour la synthèse sélective de carburants de type essence via la synthèse Fischer-Tropsch, tandis que l'acidité du cœur du catalyseur a qu'un impact limité sur les performances catalytiquesZeolite-based catalysts have been widely used in the conversion of biomass. The catalytic yields of the desired products are strongly limited due to the relatively small size of the pores in zeolites and the catalyst preparation by impregnation usually leads to relatively large metal nanoparticles and low contact between metal and acid sites. The purpose of this work is the design of metal-zeolite nanocomposite catalysts containing ruthenium nanoparticles uniformly distributed in the hierarchical BEA and ZSM-5 zeolites. Use of ruthenium avoids formation of inert hardly reducible inert metal silicates and metal aluminates, while carbon nanotubes with supported metal oxide nanoparticles play a role of sacrificial template, which allows creating mesoporosity and bringing metallic functionality inside the zeolite matrix. Compared to the conventional zeolite supported metal catalysts the synthesized hierarchical ruthenium-zeolites exhibited much higher activity and lower methane selectivity in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Characterization of the prepared catalysts has indicated initiation of crystallization of zeolites over metal nanoparticles. This effect has been further used to increase the dispersion of metal nanoparticles by secondary crystallization of Ru supported over ZSM-5. Our results show significant re-dispersion of embedded metal oxide nanoparticles and increase in the activity of model reactions. In addition, a synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of hierarchical metal and zeolite nanocomposite catalysts for direct synthesis of iso-paraffins from syngas. The nanocomposites are synthesized in three steps. In the first step, the parent (core) zeolite is etched with an ammonium fluoride solution. The etching creates small mesopores inside the zeolite crystals. In the second step, the Ru nanoparticles prepared using water-in-oil microemulsion are deposited in the mesopores of the zeolite. In the third step, a zeolite shell of MFI-type zeolites (silicalite-1 or ZSM-5) is grown on the parent zeolite crystals coating both the etched surface and metallic nanoparticles. Thus, the metal nanoparticles become entirely encapsulated inside the zeolite matrix. Most important parameters such as ruthenium content, zeolite mesoporosity, and more particularly, the acidity of the catalyst shell, which affect the catalytic performance of the synthesized nanocomposite materials in low-temperature Fischer−Tropsch synthesis were identified in this work. The higher relative amount of iso-paraffins was observed on the catalysts containing a shell of ZSM-5. The proximity between metal and acid sites in the zeolite shell of the nanocomposite catalysts is a crucial parameter for the design of efficient metal zeolite bifunctional catalysts for selective synthesis of gasoline-type fuels via Fischer−Tropsch synthesis, while the acidity of the catalyst core has only a limited impact on the catalytic performance

The material development cycle is becoming too slow if compared with other technologies sectors like IT and electronics. The materials scientists’ community needs to bring materials science back to the core of human development. ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineer) is a new discipline that uses advanced computational tools to simulate material microstructures, processes and their links with the final properties. There is the need for a new way to design tailor-made materials with a faster and cheaper development cycle while creating products that meet “real-world” functionalities rather than vague set of specifications. Using the ICME approach, cutting edge computational thermodynamics models were employed in order to assist the microstructure characterization and refinement during the TIG welding of a functionally graded composite material with outstanding wear and corrosion resistance. The DICTRA diffusion model accurately predicted the carbon diffusion during sintering, Thermo-Calc and TC-PRISMA models described the thermodynamic and kinetics of harmful carbide precipitation, while COMSOL Multhiphysic furnished the temperature distribution profile at every timestep during TIG welding of the material. Bainite transformation and the influence of chromium and molybdenum was studied and modelled with MAP_STEEL software. The simulations were then compared with experimental observations and a very good agreement between computational works and experiments was found for both thermodynamic and kinetics predictions. The use of this new system proved to be a robust assistance to the classic development method and the material microstructures and processes were carefully adjusted in order to increase corrosion resistance and weldability. This new approach to material development can radically change the way we think and we make materials. The results suggest that the use of computational tools is a reality that can dramatically increase the efficiency of the material development.

>Magister Scientiae - MScDue to the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the production of environmentally harmful by-products such as carbon dioxide, there is an urgent need for alternate sustainable clean energy. One of the leading candidates in this endeavour is hydrogen, which can be used as an energy carrier since it has a high energy density, zero emissions and is produced from non-depletable resources such as water. The major challenge hindering a hydrogen economy is the lack of safe and effective storage technologies for mobile applications. A prospective solution to this problem lies in the use of porous powdered materials, which adsorb the hydrogen gas. However, the integration of these powdered materials into a storage tank system, results in the pipelines being contaminated during filling cycles. This necessitates the shaping of the porous powdered materials. Among the many shaping techniques available, the electrospinning technique has been proposed as a promising technology since it is a versatile process that is easily scaled-up making it attractive for the applications of the study. Furthermore, the electrospinning process enables the synthesis of nano-sized fibres with attractive hydrogen sorption characteristics. In this regard, the current study employs the electrospinning technique to synthesise electrospun composite fibres for mobile hydrogen storage applications. After electrospinning three polymers, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as the most suitable polymer because it yielded bead-free electrospun fibres. However, the diameter of the PAN fibres was large/thick which prompted further optimisation of the electrospinning parameters. The optimised electrospinning conditions that yield unbeaded fibres within the desired diameter range (of 300-500 nm) were a PAN concentration of 10 wt%, a flow rate of 0.4 mL/h, a distance of 10 cm between the needle tip and collector plate, and an applied voltage of 8 kV. The study then progressed to the synthesis and characterisation of the pristine porous powdered materials which adsorb hydrogen gas. The porous powdered materials investigated were commercial zeolite 13X, its synthesised templated carbon derivative (ZTC) and Zr (UiO-66) and Cr (MIL-101) based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). ZTC was synthesised via liquid impregnation coupled with chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and the MOFs were synthesised by the modulated solvothermal method. Analysis of the ZTCs morphology and phase crystallinity show that the carbon templated process using zeolites was successful, however, ZTC was amorphous compared to crystalline zeolite template. The BET surface area was assessed with the aid of nitrogen sorption isotherms for both zeolite 13X and ZTC, and values of 730 and 2717 m²/g, respectively were obtained. The hydrogen adsorption capacity for zeolite 13X was 1.6 wt% and increased to 2.4 wt% in the ZTC material at 77 K and 1 bar. The successful synthesis of well defined, crystalline MOFs was evident from X-ray diffraction and morphological analysis. The BET surface area and hydrogen adsorption for Zr MOF were 1186 m²/g and 1.5 wt%, respectively at 77 K and 1 bar. Cr MOF had a BET surface area of 2618 m²/g and hydrogen adsorption capacity of 1.9 wt% at 77 K and 1 bar. The main focus of the study was to synthesise electrospun composite fibres that can adsorb hydrogen gas and thus provide significant insight in this field of research. As such it examined composite fibres that incorporates porous powdered materials such as zeolite 13X, ZTCs, UiO-66 (Zr) MOF and MIL-101 (Cr) MOF and investigated their ability to adsorb hydrogen gas, which have not been reported previously. The synthesis of composite fibres was achieved by incorporating the porous powdered materials into the PAN resulting in a polymeric blend that was then electrospun. Morphological analysis illustrated that the porous powdered materials were successfully supported by or incorporated within the PAN fibres, forming composite fibres. The BET surface area of the 40 wt% zeolite-PAN and 12.5 wt% ZTC-PAN composite fibres were 440 and 1787 m²/g respectively. Zr MOF and Cr MOF composite fibres had a BET surface area of 815 and 1134 m²/g, respectively. The BET surface area had reduced by 40, 34, 31 and 57% for zeolite 13X, ZTC, Zr MOF and Cr MOF, respectively after these porous powdered materials were incorporated into PAN. The hydrogen adoption capacity for 40 wt% zeolite-PAN, 12.5 wt% ZTC-PAN, 20 wt% Zr MOFPAN and 20 wt% Cr MOF-PAN composite fibres was 0.8, 1.8, 0.9 and 1.1 wt%, respectively. This decrease was attributed to the limited amount of porous powdered materials that could be incorporated into the fibres since only 40 wt% of zeolite 13X, 12.5 wt% of ZTC and 20 wt% of the MOFs were loaded into their respective composite fibres. This was due to the fact that incorporation of greater amounts of porous powdered materials resulted in a viscous polymeric blend that was unable to be electrospun. It is evident from the study that electrospinning is a versatile process that is able to produce composite fibres with promising properties that can potentially advance the research in this field thus providing a practical solution to the problem of integrating loose powdered materials into an on-board hydrogen storage system.

Lithium ion batteries (LIB) are one of the most commercially significant secondary batteries, but in order to continue improving the devices that rely on this form of energy storage, it is necessary to optimize their components. One common problem with anode materials that hinders their performance is volumetric expansion during cycling. One of the methods studied to resolve this issue is the confinement of metal oxides with the interest of improving the longevity of their performance with cycling. Confinement of metal oxide nanoparticles within carbon nanotubes has shown to improve the performance of these anode materials versus unconfined metal oxides. Here, electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) is used to create thin films of nano-confined tin oxide/CNT composite as the active anode material for subsequent property testing of assembled LIBs. This thesis gives the details of the techniques used to produce the desired anode materials and their electrochemical characterization as LIB anodes.

It is ideal to theoretically predict the activity of a catalyst. It has been recognized that not only the type of metal, but also its atomic size plays an important role in catalysis. In the past, atomic clusters have been created by sputtering from a sacrificial metal plate and then using a mass selector to choose cluster sizes from 1-233 atoms of gold. This approach has practical limitations. In this thesis, I describe a procedure by which atomic clusters of gold containing 1-8 atoms are deposited in polyaniline as an isolation matrix. My atomic deposition follows a cyclic pathway. Atomic clusters of palladium and atomic alloys of gold and palladium are also deposited in polyaniline using the same process. It is to show that this method will also work for other metals. These composite materials are characterized, and the catalytic activity for alcohol oxidation is evaluated.
This thesis is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter discusses the chemistry of polyaniline for using gold and palladium as catalysts. The technique developed to deposit the atomic clusters is discussed in the second chapter. This technique deposits one atom of metal per imine site on polyaniline, per cycle. The cycle is repeated n-times until a cluster of specified size, Mn, and composition has been synthesized. It is known that polyaniline plays an important role in stabilization of the formed clusters which prevents their aggregation. The optimization of this technique is the topic of the third chapter along with the description of how these composite films are produced. To end this chapter, the composite films are characterized by cyclic voltammetry, Kelvin probe, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
In chapters 4 and 5, the catalytic activity of the polyaniline/gold composites for the oxidation of alcohols in alkaline media using cyclic voltammetry is evaluated. In chapter 4, the correlation of the electrochemical activity for the oxidation of n-PrOH with the odd-even pattern from the calculated HOMO-LUMO gap energies for the same size clusters is shown. It is shown that the infrared spectrum of polyaniline with different sizes of atomic gold clusters also follows the odd-even pattern. Chapter 5 expands on the discussion of the catalytic oxidation of alcohols. The oxidation of methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol is surveyed. The peak currents are again dominated by the odd-even pattern.
In chapter 6, the versatility of the atomic deposition cycle is shown by depositing atomic palladium clusters. The peak currents for the oxidation of n-PrOH by these palladium composite films again follows the predicted pattern of the calculated HOMO-LUMO gap energies for atomic palladium clusters. This chapter also explores bimetallic atomic clusters of gold and palladium. The results indicate that the catalytic activity depends on the orientation of the cluster in the polyaniline matrix. Chapter 7 discusses the oxidation of methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol on AunPd1 bimetallic atomic clusters. The addition of palladium in the cluster increases the peak current densities for the oxidation of both alcohols except for the most stable of the atomic gold clusters, while it inactivated the electrodes for isopropanol. The possible future work for this project is discussed in chapter 8.
Overall, this thesis has developed a novel and unique technique for depositing atomic metal clusters into a polyaniline matrix. The technique is versatile enough to deposit atomic metal clusters other than gold, as shown by creating atomic palladium clusters and atomic bimetallic clusters of gold and palladium. This is extremely useful, since this single technique can produce many different types of atomic catalysts. The composite materials have been shown to be catalytically active for the oxidation of alcohols in alkaline media. This indicates a significant improvement to conserve precious metals while still retaining a high catalytic activity.

This thesis explores new methods for achieving load-carrying joints between the dissimilar materials of continuous fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites and structural metals. The new composite-to-metal joining methods investigated in this work exploit the metal-to-metal joining techniques of arc micro-welding, resistance spot welding, and metal filler brazing, to form novel micro-architectured metal adherends that can be used for enhanced composite-to-metal joining. Through a combination of equipment instrumentation and metallographic inspection of fabricated prototype joints, understanding is gained of how materials respond when processed by manufacturing techniques that have not previously been exploited for dissimilar material joining. Mechanical testing of prototype joints; both to ultimate loading strength and partial failure states, with subsequent inspection of specimens and comparative performances evaluation enabled joining performance characterisation of the new joining methods. Key results include: the identification of micropin reinforced adhesive joints to exhibit pseudo-ductile failure characteristics, resistance spot weld reinforcement of adhesive joints to boost bonding performance, and the use of a polymer infused metal foam to overcome difficulties of thermoplastic to metal adhesion. Through this work knowledge of how novel micro-architectures reacted under mechanical loading enabled insights to be gained into how perceived manufacturing defects can benefit joining performance. Such examples include, localised material weakness that lead to global pseudo-ductile failure behaviour, and low-strength secondary joining mechanisms boosting primary load transfer systems. By comparison of the diverse joining methods investigated in this work, trends were identified that suggest joining performance between the two dissimilar materials is improved by increasing the direct interaction between the composite reinforcement fibres and the metal structure. It is demonstrated that joining improvements are gained by forming mechanical connections between metals and composite precursory material before the final manufacturing process of the composite.

Adhesive joints are used extensively in the automotive industry. There are many ongoing studies on the area of application of joining composite to other material using adhesive joints. In this study, an analysis of mechanical behaviour of composite single lap-joint (SLJ) for carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) assembled with steel is presented and the analyses are divided into three phases. The first phase consists of a parametric study on a SLJ using Volkersen analytical model (AM), which is the effect of adhesive thickness and overlap length of the SLJ under tensile load. It was found that with increasing the adhesive thickness the final peak load (strength of the joint) increases. The peak load also increases with increasing the overlap joint, but the limit value for the overlap length varies for different adhesive thickness. For example for the case of adhesive thickness of 0.5 mm, the curve reaches to its plateau with overlap length of 40 mm. It was also observed the increase of adhesive thickness leads to decrease of maximum shear stress at the edges of the single lap joint, but it increases as it approaches the middle of the overlap length. Phase two of this study consist of a shear stress comparison with the Volkersen AM with the finite element model (FEM) using ANSYS Parametric Design Language(APDL) software. The purpose of this comparison was to validate the AM. It was found that the AM has a good agreement with the numerical-model (NM). However, the shear stress from the AM at the edge is a little higher than the NM, this is because the analytical method only takes into account the shear stress in one direction but the NM also takes into account the normal shear stress in the other direction. Phase three of this study consists of an experimental analysis of SLJ mechanical behaviour due to the change in temperature of 180 degrees and change in adhesive thickness and also a comparison with the NM. Three adhesive thickness 1, 0.5 and 1.5 mm were tested. Different boundary conditions (BC), namely as with frame and fixed BC are tested for NM. The one with frame BC is to compare with experimental setup and the fixed BC is the equivalent to Volkersen’s geometry. Both experimental and numerical results, show that the relative deformation of the SLJ decreases with the increase of the adhesive thickness. Although the experimental values were much lower than the numerical one, they agree well with the numerical result in term of trend of relative deformation. In experimental analysis, it was found that increasing the adhesive thickness from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm decrease the relative deformation from 7.8% to 5.3%. It was concluded that increasing the adhesive thickness decreases the stiffness of the joint and allows more thermal movement in the joint.

Neste trabalho calculamos inicialmente as propriedades ópticas de filmes compósitos de Me-NiO e Me-CoO, sendo os metais Me = Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Pd e Pt, a partir da teoria de meio efetivo de Maxwell Garnett. Este estudo teórico possibilitou avaliar a viabilidade de se obter experimentalmente um material colorido na região do espectro visível, com absorção seletiva numa estreita faixa de comprimentos de onda. Os resultados mostraram que o candidato ideal para tal fim é o compósito a base de Au. A partir deste resultado iniciou-se o crescimento de filmes finos compósitos de Au-NiO e Au-CoO, utilizando diferentes estratégias experimentais: (i) deposição por DC magnetron sputtering reativo, (ii) deposição do filme de NiO, por DC magnetron sputtering reativo e Au pelos métodos de sol-gel e dip coating e (iii) deposição de ambos os filmes, NiOxHy e Au, por sol-gel e dip coating. Os resultados mostraram uma seletividade pequena (-5-10%) nos filmes crescidos pelo método de sputtering, devido ao caráter atomístico desse tipo de técnica, que conduz à formação de pequenos aglomerados de Au (menores que -3 nm), ao invés de agregados com tamanhos da ordem de algumas dezenas de nanômetros, obtidos facilmente pelo método sol-gel. O crescimento na forma de multicamadas proporciona uma melhor seletividade, em torno de 1 5%. Pós-tratamentos térmicos em filmes compósito s obtidos unicamente por sputtering induzem a aglomeração do Au, mas destroem as propriedades eletrocrôrnicas. No caso de filmes de Au crescidos por sol-gel, a seletividade espectral, decorrente da presença do Au aumenta, indo de 15% a 20% em filmes depositados sobre a matriz óxida crescida por sputtering e por sol-gel, respectivamente. Mediante processos eletroquímicos, os filmes de NiOxHy crescidos por sol-gel e dip coating apresentaram os melhores resultados de variação de transmitância (70%), devido à maior porosidade desses filmes.In this work we initially calculated the optical properties of cermet films of Me-NiO and Me-CoO, being the metals Me = Au, Ag, Cu, Ni, Pd and Pt, by means of the Maxwell Garnett effective medium theory. This theoretical study allowed evaluating the viability to obtain, experimentally, a colored material in the visible spectrum region, with selective absorption in a narrow range of wavelengths. The results showed that the ideal candidate for such goal is the Au cermet. Looking at this result, the growth of Au-NiO and Au-CoO thin films was initiated using different experimental strategies: (i) deposition by reactive DC magnetron sputtering, (ii) deposition of the NiO, film by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and Au by the sol-gel and dip coating methods and (iii) deposition of both films, NiOxHy and Au, by sol-gel and dip coating. The films grown by sputtering showed a small selectivity (-5-10%), due to the atomistic character of this type of technique. It leads to the formation of small clusters of Au (smaller than -3 nrn), instead of aggregates with sizes of the order of some tenths of nanometers, easily obtained by the sol-gel method. Better selectivity, around 15%, is obtained in films deposited as multilayers. Post thermal annealing of the cermet films grown by sputtering induces the agglomeration of Au, but destroys the electrochromic properties. In the case of Au films grown by sol-gel, the spectral selectivity increases, due to the presence of Au, going from 15% to 20% in films deposited on the oxide matrix, deposited by sputtering and sol-gel, respectively. Under electrochemical processes, the NiOxHy films grown by sol-gel and dip coating presented the highest transmission variation (70%), due to larger porosity of these films.

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and metal oxide-MOF composites were investigated for adsorption and oxidation of carbon monoxide. Metal oxides were successfully included in MOFs via both impregnation and encapsulation. UiO-66, a zirconium-based MOF, was impregnated with magnesium or cobalt oxide. Cobalt oxide in UiO-66 increases the room temperature CO capacity and shows increased adsorption at 65°C due to strong cobalt-CO interactions. Titania and magnetic nanoparticles were encapsulated in HKUST-1, a copper-based MOF. Including titania in HKUST-1 lowers the CO oxidation onset temperature by over 100°C compared with HKUST-1, and the composite reaches complete conversion by 250°C. HKUST-1 with magnetic nanoparticles shows enhanced structural stability and increased room temperature adsorption of CO and hexane. MOF-74, an isostructural family with coordinatively unsaturated metal centers of cobalt, magnesium, nickel, or zinc, was investigated for the metal center’s impact on stability and adsorption. Pre-treatment conditions to optimize accessibility were found that maximize solvent removal while retaining structural integrity. The impact of air exposure on equilibrium CO capacity was investigated, and these predictions were compared to dynamic conditions, separating CO from nitrogen or air at room temperature. The cobalt analog loses only 25% of its CO capacity with air exposure, retaining higher capacity than the other analogs under ideal conditions. Unlike cobalt, the magnesium analog does not follow the predicted trends with air exposure, having higher dynamic capacities with pre-exposed samples. Under all dynamic conditions, the nickel analog oxidized a portion of the carbon monoxide feed.

2013In this present study, the physicochemical properties, nature and morphology of prepared composite materials involving activated carbon, fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2 and nZnO in the 1:1 ratio for two components composite materials and 1:1:1 for three components composite materials were investigated. The nature, morphology and elemental characterizations of these materials were carried out by means of modern analytical methods such as scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray fluorescence (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Other physicochemical characterizations undertaken were CNH analysis, ash content, pH, point of zero charge and surface area and porosity determination by Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET). The precursors and composite materials were then applied to the sorption (remediation) of tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) from artificial seawater and wastewater and the adsorption efficiencies for the precursors and the composites compared. The adsorption of TBT and TPT onto these materials as a function of adsorbent amount, contact time, pH, stirring speed, initial adsorbate concentration and temperature was investigated. Maximum organotin adsorption was recorded within the pH range of normal saline water (pH 8). Approximately 99.95 %, 95.75 %, 96.78 %, 99.88 %, 96.96 %, 99.98 %, 99.99 %, 99.99 % and 99.99 % TBT were removed from 25 mL of 100 mg/L TBT-contaminated artificial seawater using 0.5 g adsorbents at a contact time of 60 min, pH 8, stirring speed 200 rpm and temperature of 80 oC by activated carbon, fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2, nZnO, fly ash/activated carbon, nFe3O4/activated carbon, nSiO2/activated carbon and nZnO/activated carbon composite, respectively and the adsorption of TBT onto these adsorbents was endothermic. Approx. 99.99 %, 96.54 %, 95.50 %, 96.92 %, 97.14 %, 99.99 %, 98.44 %, 98.98 % and 99.66 % TPT were also removed from 25 mL of 100 mg/L TPT-contaminated artificial seawater using 0.5 g adsorbents at a contact time of 60 min, pH 8, stirring speed 200 rpm and a temperature of 20 oC by the activated carbon, fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2, nZnO, fly ash/activated carbon, nFe3O4/fly ash, nSiO2/fly ash and nZnO/fly ash composite, respectively. The adsorption of TPT onto activated carbon and fly ash/activated carbon composite from TPT – contaminated artificial seawater was endothermic while TPT adsorption onto fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2, nZnO, nFe3O4/fly ash, nSiO2/fly ash and nZnO/fly ash composites from TPT – contaminated artificial seawater was exothermic. The adsorption of TBT and TPT onto nFe3O4/fly ash/activated carbon and nSiO2/fly ash/activated carbon composites from TBT – and TPT – contaminated water, respectively were endothermic and approx. 99.98 % and 99.99 % of TBT and TPT, respectively were removed from the initial concentration of 100 mg/L OTC by the composites at a temperature of 80 oC, 60 min contact time, pH 8 and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The adsorption kinetics of all the precursors and composite materials fitted well with the pseudo second-order kinetic model while the adsorption isotherm data could be well described by the Freundlich isotherm model except TBT adsorption onto nZnO/activated carbon and nFe3O4/activated carbon composite from TBT contaminated artificial seawater, TPT adsorption onto activated carbon and fly ash/activated carbon from TPT contaminated artificial seawater, and TPT sorption onto nSiO2/fly ash/activated carbon composite from TPT – contaminated water which could be described by both the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) isotherm models. Optimal conditions for the adsorption of TBT and TPT from artificial seawater were further applied to TBT and TPT removal from TBT – and TPT – contaminated natural seawater obtained from Cape Town harbour and the results obtained show that 99.71 %, 79.23 %, 80.11 %, 82.86 %, 80.42 %, 99.75 %, 99.88 %, 99.83 % and 99.88 % TBT were removed from TBT – contaminated natural seawater by activated carbon, fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2, nZnO, fly ash/activated carbon, nFe3O4/activated carbon, nSiO2/activated carbon and nZnO/activated carbon composite, respectively while 99.90 %, 96.44 %, 95.37 %, 96.75 %, 97.03 %, 99.92 %, 98.42 %, 98.92 % and 99.58 % TPT were removed from TPT – contaminated natural seawater by activated carbon, fly ash, nFe3O4, nSiO2, nZnO, fly ash/activated carbon, nFe3O4/fly ash, nSiO2/fly ash and nZnO/fly ash composite, respectively. Experimental results therefore show that the composite materials present higher organotin adsorption efficiency than the precursors due to the nature and improved properties of the composite materials and can therefore be utilized for the remediation of organotin contamination from industrial and/or shipyards process wastewater to > 99 % reduction before discharge into the environment.

Ni/TiC metal matrix composites have been processed using the laser engineered net shaping (LENS) process. As nickel does not form an equilibrium carbide phase, addition of a strong carbide former in the form of titanium reinforces the nickel matrix resulting in a promising hybrid material for both surface engineering as well as high temperature structural applications. Changing the relative amounts of titanium and carbon in the nickel matrix, relatively low volume fraction of refined homogeneously distributed carbide precipitates, formation of in-situ carbide precipitates and the microstructural changes are investigated. The composites have been characterized in detail using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (including energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS) mapping and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)), Auger electron spectroscopy, and transmission (including high resolution) electron microscopy. Both primary and eutectic titanium carbides, observed in this composite, exhibited the fcc-TiC structure (NaCl-type). Details of the orientation relationship between Ni and TiC have been studied using SEM-EBSD and high resolution TEM. The results of micro-hardness and tribology tests indicate that these composites have a relatively high hardness and a steady-state friction coefficient of ~0.5, both of which are improvements in comparison to LENS deposited pure Ni.

Recent trends in composite research include the development of structural materials with multiple functionalities. In new studies, novel materials are being designed, developed, modified, and implemented into composite designs. Typically, an increase in functionality requires additional material phases within one system. The presence of excessive phases can result in deterioration of individual or overall properties. True multi-functional materials must maintain all properties at or above the minimum operating limit. In this project, samples of antimony and cobalt-doped tin oxide (ATO(Co2O3)) sol-gel solutions are used to coat carbon fibers and are heat treated at a temperature range of 200 - 500 °C. Results from this research are used to model the implementation of sol-gel coatings into carbon fiber reinforced multifunctional composite systems. This research presents a novel thermo-responsive sol-gel/ (dopant) combination and evaluation of the actuating responses (reflectivity and surface heat dissipation) due to various heat treatment temperatures. While ATO is a well-known transparent conductive material, the implementation of ATO on carbon fibers for infrared thermal reflectivity has not been examined. These coatings serve as actuators capable of reflecting thermal infrared radiation in the near infrared wavelengths of 0.7-1.2 μm. By altering the level of Co2O3 and heat treatment temperatures, optimal optical properties are obtained. While scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used for imaging, electron diffraction
spectroscopy (EDS) is used to verify the compounds present in the coatings. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was performed to analyze the chemical bonds and reflectivity in the infrared spectra after the heat treatments. Total reflection and angle-dependent reflectivity measurements were performed on the coatings in the wavelengths of 0.7-2 μm. Laser induced damage threshold testing was done to investigate the dielectric breakdown and used to calculate surface temperatures.

Three classes of Al-matrix composite were manufactured to combine dissimilar metals and incorporate structural hierarchy, in an attempt to develop unusual combinations of mechanical properties. The first class combined a brittle, nano-quasicrystalline forming Al-3Fe-2Cr-2Ti phase with a ductile Al-4Cu phase into a layered structure using low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS). By using a substrate with multi-scale topological features, an ultra-thick (>2mm) deposit was successfully sprayed, which was subsequently consolidated by hot rolling to reduce residual porosity. The microstructure comprised a 'brick-wall' structure consisting of a convoluted arrangement of inter-leaved discreet droplet splats. Structure-property relationships were studied for four volume fractions of ductile additions and in-situ electron microscopy of beams subjected to 3-point bending suggested the ductile additions were providing additional toughening to the composite by a crack-bridging mechanism. The second class of composite investigated highly deformed microstructures of Al with 20vol% additions of either Sn or Ti. Nano-scale fibrous structures of the minority additions were achieved via an accumulative extrusion method, where extruded rod was abraded, degreased, bundled and re-extruded. This process was repeated to create refined microstructures while retaining a large material section. Fracture properties were studied in three point bending and crack growth monitored using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to produce strain fields of the deforming beam surface. Modest changes were observed in mechanical properties with weak interfaces between poorly bonded extruded rods dominating fracture behaviour. Whiskers formed on polished surfaces of extruded Al-20vol%Sn and were monitored in real time by electron microscopy. Growth rates of up to 2.8nm/s were measured, which exceeds re- ported values in the literature on electroplated coatings by at least one order of magnitude. This may provide a convenient new means of studying whisker formation and calls into question current growth models. The third class of composite combined heavily rolled sheets of Al-20vol%Sn and Al-20vol%Ti with glass fibre/epoxy sheets to produce a laminate with multi-scale architecture. This laminate was designed as a proof-of-concept hierarchical material with structures ranging from the near millimetre scale of the metal-polymer layers, to the micro-sized glass fibre reinforcement of the epoxy and the nano-scale filamentary/lamellar microstructure of the highly deformed metal sheets. Fracture of such laminates was investigated in 3-point bending with continuous optical monitoring.

Neste trabalho é apresentado um procedimento para a análise modal de compósitos. Uma revisão da literatura a este respeito revela que os procedimentos usualmente empregados para este fim baseiam-se em métodos por balanço de massa, análise de imagem ou por análise ponto-a-ponto. Os métodos de análise modal por balanço de massa se baseiam na determinação da composição química da amostra e no conhecimento prévio da composição de cada fase para, então, proceder à determinação da concentração das fases resolvendo um sistema de equações lineares. Isto, no entanto, nem sempre é possível, especialmente quando as composições químicas de mais de uma fase são semelhantes. Os métodos por análise de imagem utilizam de diferentes contrastes para diferenciar as fases de uma amostra e, a partir da área ocupada por cada uma delas, estimar sua fração em volume. Estes métodos estão sujeitos a interpretações incorretas dos tons de cinza das imagens obtidas, o que pode ser contornado utilizando-se imagens resultantes do mapeamento de elementos por fluorescência de raios X, ao custo de um maior tempo de aquisição. O método proposto neste trabalho faz uso da técnica de contagem de pontos com a identificação automática das fases, a partir de seus espectros de fluorescência de raios X, por meio de uma rede neural previamente treinada. A quantidade de cada fase é estimada a partir da frequência com a qual ela é identificada em diferentes pontos da amostra. A precisão da análise pode ser controlada de acordo com o número de pontos analisados. O procedimento de análise ponto-a-ponto foi quase inteiramente automatizado. A análise dos dados é realizada por um programa ("Sherlock") desenvolvido para esta finalidade. Para avaliação do procedimento proposto, foram analisadas amostras de compósitos cerâmicos e um compósito metálico. A partir destas análises foi possível avaliar a precisão e algumas das limitações do método, que se mostrou comparável à técnica de mapeamento de elementos por fluorescência de raios X. O método proposto apresenta ainda a versatilidade da inclusão de outras fontes de informações acerca das fases que compõem a amostra, tais como micro-Raman e micro-FTIR, facilitando assim a sua expansão para a inclusão de fases orgânicas na análise modal de materiais compósitos.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-14T18:47:08Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Felipe G Pandolfo.pdf: 2368255 bytes, checksum: 92253593dc32d9f87309283b10c7eac7 (MD5)

A modal analysis procedure for composites is presented in this work. Procedures employed to aim this objective can be divided into three groups: mass-balance, image analysis and point-counting. The mass-balance methods are based on the determination of the chemical composition of the sample and on the prior knowledge of the composition of each phase, so to determine the phase concentration by solving a matrix of linear equations. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not possible, specially when two or more phases presentes similar compositions. Image analysis is done using different contrast settings to dicriminate phases and to estimate its volume fraction, based on the area filled by each one. The method may lead to wrong results due to overlapping grey levels. One may employ x-ray fluorescence maps to avoid such errors, although the technique is often very slow. The procedure proposed in this work uses the point-counting method with an automated phase identification, using x-ray spectral data, by means of a formerly trainned neural network. The phase quantities are estimated from the identification frequency of each phase in several points of the sample. The precision of the analysis can be controlled by the number of acquisition points. Almost all procedure has been automated. Data analysis is performed by a software ("Sherlock") developed for this purpose. To evaluate the proposed procedure, ceramic composite samples and a metal composite sample were analysed. These analyses supported the precision evaluation and some limitations of the technique, which may be compared to X-ray element mapping. Further, the proposed procedure can deal with other sources of phase data, making it easy to include organic phase identification into the modal analysis of composite material.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) sont constitués de clusters métalliques connectés dans les ligands organiques. L'objectif principal de ma thèse était de caractériser la texture, la structure et la réactivité des MOFs dans le cas de systèmes présentant des défauts, amorphes et composites.La première étude est centrée sur les propriétés de la famille Fe-BTC et ce travail a été réalisé en collaboration avec l'Université d'Utrecht et l'Université d'Oxford. Une étude comparative entre le MIL-100(Fe) et son homologue commercial Basolite F300 (BASF) qui est amorphe ont été évaluées par l’adsorption de méthanol et d'autres techniques de caractérisation. De plus, les deux matériaux ont été testés pour être utilisés comme support pour l'imprégnation des métaux.Dans la deuxième étude, le broyage à la bille est utilisé comme stratégie de modification post-synthèse de MOFs. Le matériau ZIF-8 a été sélectionné de cas car il s'agit d'un MOF disponible dans le commerce (Basolite Z1200) et qui est en train de devenir de référence dans ce domaine. Ce chapitre examiner des propriétés flexibles, de la texture, de la structure, et la réactivité.Les MOFs UiO-66 et MOF-808 sont également analysées. Ces études ont été réalisées en collaboration avec l'Université Technique de Munich. UiO-66 contenant différents défauts d'ingénierie sont examinées. Nous avons démontré que les mesures d’adsorption de vapeur peuvent être un outil précieux pour accéder à la chimie des défauts. Le deuxième système est la série MOF-808 qu’une étude complète est présentée allant des diverses stratégies de synthèse de MOFs défectueux et composites jusqu'à leur propriété d'adsorption et de réactivitéMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that constructed from metal clusters connected with organic linkers. The main objective of my PhD was to characterize the texture, structure, and reactivity of MOFs materials with a particular focus on defective, amorphous and composite materials. The first study is centered on the properties of the Fe-BTC family and this work was realized in collaboration with Utrecht University and the University of Oxford. A comparative study between crystalline MIL-100(Fe) and its commercial counterpart amorphous Basolite F300 (BASF) were studied by using methanol adsorption to predict the reactivity. Other characterization methods are introduced to investigate both materials which were further tested to be used as supports for metal-impregnation. In the next study, ball-milling was employed as a post-synthesis strategy for MOF modification. This ZIF-8 material was selected since it is commercially available (Basolite Z1200) and is becoming one of the reference materials in this area. Extensive studies including flexibility, textural, structural, as well as reactivity of different milling products is presented. Zirconium-based MOFs (UiO-66 and MOF-808) were also examined in this thesis. These studies were performed in collaboration with TU Munich. UiO-66 series containing engineered defects are first examined. We demonstrated that vapor adsorption measurement is a valuable tool to access the chemistry of the defects. The second studied system is MOF-808 series, where a comprehensive study is presented starting from synthesis strategies of defective and composite MOFs up to adsorption properties and reactivity

The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a potential high efficient electrochemical device for vehicles, auxiliary power units and large-scale stationary power plants combined heat and power application. The main challenges of this technology for market acceptance are associated with cost and lifetime due to the high temperature (700-1000 oC) operation and complex cell structure, i.e. the conventional membrane electrode assemblies. Therefore, it has become a top R&D goal to develop SOFCs for lower temperatures, preferably below 600 oC. To address those above problems, within the framework of this thesis, two kinds of innovative approaches are adopted. One is developing functional composite materials with desirable electrical properties at the reduced temperature, which results of the research on ceria-based composite based low temperature ceramic fuel cell (LTCFC). The other one is discovering novel energy conversion technology - Single-component/ electrolyte-free fuel cell (EFFC), in which the electrolyte layer of conventional SOFC is physically removed while this device still exhibits the fuel cell function. Thus, the focus of this thesis is then put on the characterization of materials physical and electrochemical properties for those advanced energy conversion applications. The major scientific content and contribution to this challenging field are divided into four aspects except the Introduction, Experiments and Conclusions parts. They are: Continuous developments and optimizations of advanced electrolyte materials, ceria-carbonate composite, for LTCFC. An electrolysis study has been carried out on ceria-carbonate composite based LTCFC with cheap Ni-based electrodes. Both oxygen ion and proton conductance in electrolysis mode are observed. High current outputs have been achieved at the given electrolysis voltage below 600 oC. This study also provides alternative manner for high efficient hydrogen production. Compatible and high active electrode development for ceria-carbonate composite electrolyte based LTCFC. A symmetrical fuel cell configuration is intentionally employed. The electro-catalytic activities of novel symmetrical transition metal oxide composite electrode toward hydrogen oxidation reaction and oxygen reduction reaction have been experimentally investigated. In addition, the origin of high activity of transition metal oxide composite electrode is studied, which is believed to relate to the hydration effect of the composite oxide. A novel all-nanocomposite fuel cell (ANFC) concept proposal and feasibility demonstration. The ANFC is successfully constructed by Ni/Fe-SDC anode, SDC-carbonate electrolyte and lithiated NiO/ZnO cathode at an extremely low in-situ sintering temperature, 600 oC. The ANFC manifests excellent fuel cell performance (over 550 mWcm-2 at 600 oC) and a good short-term operation as well as thermo-cycling stability. All results demonstrated its feasibility and potential for energy conversion. Fundamental study results on breakthrough research Single-Component/Electrolyte-Free Fuel Cell (EFFC) based on above nanocomposite materials (ion and semi-conductive composite) research activities. This is also the key innovation point of this thesis. Compared with classic three-layer fuel cells, EFFC with an electrolyte layer shows a much simpler but more efficient way for energy conversion. The physical-electrical properties of composite, the effects of cell configuration and parameters on cell performance, materials composition and cell fabrication process optimization, micro electrochemical reaction process and possible working principle were systematically investigated and discussed. Besides, the EFFC, joining solar cell and fuel cell working principle, is suggested to provide a research platform for integrating multi-energy-related device and technology application, such as fuel cell, electrolysis, solar cell and micro-reactor etc. This thesis provides a new methodology for materials and system innovation for the fuel cell community, which is expected to accelerate the wide implementation of this high efficient and green fuel cell technology and open new horizons for other related research fields.QC 20131122

Resumo: O concreto reforçado com fibras de aço (CRFA) tem seu principal campo de aplicação nos pisos industriais e pavimentos. Em função das características de redistribuição de esforços que apresentam tais estruturas - placas apoiadas sobre uma base elástica - é possível a substituição total das armaduras convencionais pelas fibras de aço, acelerando o processo executivo e garantindo sua segurança e durabilidade. A introdução das fibras de aço nos concretos tem como principal função modificar o comportamento do compósito quando solicitado a esforços de flexão, transformando um material de natureza frágil em dúctil, ou seja, com capacidade de absorção de energia. A ductilidade desse compósito é usualmente quantificada pela medida de tenacidade do material em ensaios de tração na flexão, obtida com velocidade de deformação controlada, condição fundamental para avaliação do comportamento do compósito após sua fissuração. É importante salientar que a tenacidade do CRFA é fortemente influenciada pela distribuição das fibras na matriz de concreto, distribuição esta que é sensivelmente diferente em corpos de prova prismáticos moldados, utilizados para o controle de qualidade da obra, do que a encontrada nas estruturas dos pisos ou pavimentos. As propriedades do CRFA são expressas assumindo essa distribuição randomizada das fibras. Não obstante, em corpos de prova de tamanhos padronizados, ocorrem os efeitos de parede, também chamados de efeitos de borda. Esses efeitos consistem no alinhamento das fibras junto ao fundo e às laterais do corpo de prova, tornando o arranjo das fibras de aço nesses locais comprometido em virtude desses efeitos de parede. Com isto ocorre um aumento induzido no desempenho do compósito dado o alinhamento das fibras à direção principal de tensão durante a flexão. Buscando analisar a influência que a distribuição das fibras tem sobre a tenacidade do material, foram moldadas placas com dimensões que simulem os pisos e pavimentos (com três distintos teores de fibras: 20, 30 e 40 kg/m³), das quais foram extraídos prismas para determinação da suas tenacidades, que serão comparadas com as obtidas em prismas moldados. Os resultados foram cotejados estatisticamente, através da análise de variância, para estabelecimento das correlações existentes e suas influências sobre a tenacidade do compósito. Não há norma nacional para ensaios e utilização do CRFA que especifiquem e normatizem o seu uso. Dessa maneira, em virtude dos resultados dos valores de tenacidade terem sido com grande variabilidade, propusemos valores característicos para serem utilizados no controle executivo de obra
Abstract: The steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has in the industrial slabs-on-ground and the pavements its main field of application. Regarding the features of such structures and the redistribution of the resulting forces - slabs supported on elastic base - the complete substitution of the conventional armors for steel fibers has been possible saving time of the executive process, nevertheless security and durability also guaranteed. The introduction of steel fibers in the concrete has the mainly feature of modifying the behavior of the composite when requested the flexural efforts, transforming a material of fragile nature into ductile, which means; with capacity of energy absorption. The ductility of this composite usually is quantified by the measurement of the thoughness of the material in tensile stress in the flexural tests, obtained by controlled speed deformation, basic condition for evaluation of the behavior of the composite afterwards fissuration. It is important to point out that the toughness of the SFRC is mainly influenced by the distribution of fibers in the concrete matrix, distribution that is significantly different in prismatic specimen molded, used for the control of the quality of the construction, of what found in the structures of the slabs-on-ground and the pavements. The properties of the SFRC are express assuming this randomly distribution of the fibers. However, in specimen of standard sizes the wall effect occurs, also calls of edge effect. These effects consist in the alignment of the fibers next to botton and to the laterals of the specimen. This occurs with an induced increase in the performance of the composite given the alignment of fibers on the main direction of tension during flexion. In this way, an induced increase in the performance of the composite given the alignment of staple fibers to the main direction of tension occurs during the flexural test, becoming the arrangement of steel fibers in these places compromised due to these wall effects. Searching to analyze the influence that the distribution of staple fibers has on the toughness of the material, plates with dimensions were molded that simulate the slabs-onground and pavements (with three distinct staple fiber texts: 20, 30 and 40 kg/m³), of which prisms for determination of its toughness will be extracted, that will be compared with the gotten ones in molded specimen. The results will be statistically analyzed through the analysis of variance for establishment of the existing correlations and its influences on the toughness of the composite. There is no national standard for testing and use of the SFRC that specify and regulate their use. Thus, given the results of toughness values have been with great variability, we propose characteristic values for the application in executive control of building works

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited.A cast, aluminum-based discontinuous metal matrix composite was thermomechanically processed. The material studied was 6061 aluminum containing 10 vol. pct. or 15 vol. pct. alumina (Al2O3) particles, fabricated by casting and subsequently extruded by Duralcan, Inc. of San Diego, CA. Processing included rolling the extruded bars to large strain values at 350 C and 500 C with controlled reheating between passes. Mechanical testing was conducted at temperatures and strain rates ranging from 200 C to 500 C and 6.7 x 10-5 s-1 to 3.3 x 10-1 s-1, respectively. This material displayed a tendency for increased elongation with an increase in the strain rate above 6.7 x 10-4 s-1. Elongation data for the 350 C rolled materials, containing both 10 vol. pct. and 15 vol. pct. alumina, displayed greater values at lower temperatures than the 500 C rolled materials. Values for strength agreed well with previous results.

Automobile and aero industries have an increasing interestin materials with improved mechanical properties. However, manyof these new materials are classified as difficult-to-cut withconventional tools. It is obvious that tools, cutting processesand cutting models has to be devel-oped parallel to materialsscience. In this thesis rotary cutting tools are tested as analternative toexpensive diamond or cubic bore nitridetools.
Metal matrix composites mostly consist of a light metalalloy (such as aluminium or titanium) reinforced with hard andabrasive ceramic parti-cles or fibres. On machining, thereinforcement results in a high rate of tool wear. This is themain problem for the machining of MMCs. Many factors affect thelife length of a tool, i.e. matrix alloy, type, size andfraction of the reinforcement, heat treatment, cuttingconditions and tool properties.
In tests, the Al-SiC MMC formed a deformation layer duringmilling, probably affected by lack of cooling. The dominatingfactor for tool life was the cutting speed. Water jet or CO2cooling of turning did not provide dramatic increase in toollife. With PCD, cutting speeds up to 2000 m/min were usedwithout machining problems and BUE formation. Tool flank wearwas abrasive and crater wear created an "orange-peel type" wearsurface. PCD inserts did not show the typical increase in flankwear rate at the end of its lifetime.
The use of self-propelled rotary tools seems to be apromising way to increase tool life. No BUE was formed on therotary tool at high cutting data. The measurements indicatethat the rotary tool creates twice as good surface as PCDtools. The longest tool life was gained with an inclinationangle of 10 degrees. Tool costs per component will beapproximately the same, but rotary cutting tool allows higherfeeds and therefore a higher production rate and thus a lowerproduction cost.
The rotary cutting operation might have a potential toincrease productiv-ity in bar peeling. The lack of BUE withrotary cutting gives hope on higher tool life. The test resultsshow that tool wear was 27% lower with rotary cutting tools.Increase of cutting speed from 22 to 44 m/min did not affectcutting forces. This indicates that the cutting speed canincrease without significant change in tool wear rate.
Issues related to rotary cutting like cutting models,cutting processes, standards, tools and models have beendiscussed. A tool wear model with kinetic energy has beendiscussed.
