O presente artigo é dedicado à avaliação experimental da eficiência do reforço com fibra de aço em termos da resistência à punção de lajes lisa carregadas simetricamente. Para este fim, oito lajes de 2550 x 2550 x 150 mm3 foram ensaiadas até a ruína, onde se investigou a influência do consumo de fibras (0, 60, 75 e 90 kg/m3) e da resistência do concreto (50 e 70 MPa). Duas lajes de referência, sem fibras, uma para cada classe de resistência do concreto, e uma laje para cada consumo de fibra e para cada classe de resistência do concreto compuseram o programa experimental. Todas as lajes foram armadas à flexão com barras de aço (armadura convencional) de forma a garantir a ruína por punção das lajes de referência. O único reforço transversal foi garantido pelas fibras de aço hooked ends com comprimento e diâmetro de 37 e 0,55 mm, respectivamente, e resistência à tração de aproximadamente 1100 MPa. Os resultados revelaram que as fibras de aço são muito eficientes em converter uma ruína frágil por cisalhamento em uma ruína dúctil por flexão, aprimorando ambos, carga de ruptura e deslocamento. Neste artigo o programa experimental é abordado em detalhe e os principais resultados são apresentados e discutidos.

Polymer based scintillator composites have been fabricated by combining poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles (50nm). PVDF has been used since it is a flexible and stable binder matrix and highly resistance to thermal and light deterioration. Gd2O3:Eu has been selected as scintillator material due to its wide band gap, high density and suitable visible light yield. The structural, mechanical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the composites were studied as a function of filler content, together with their performance as scintillator material. The introduction of Gd2O3:Eu nanoparticles into the PVDF matrix does not influence the morphology of the polymer or the degree of crystallinity. On the other hand, an increase of the Young´s modulus with respect to PVDF matrix is observed for filler contents of 0.1-0.75 wt.%. The introduction of Gd2O3:Eu into the PVDF matrix increases dielectric constant and DC electrical conductivity as well as the visible light yield in the nanocomposite, being this increase dependent upon Gd2O3:Eu content and X-ray input power. In this way, Gd2O3:Eu/PVDF composites shows suitable characteristics to be used as X-ray radiation transducers, in particular for large area applications.

Electroactive polymers are one of the most interesting class of polymers used as smart materials in various applications, such as the development of sensors and actuators for biomedical applications in areas such as smart prosthesis, implantable biosensors and biomechanical signal monitoring, among others. For acquiring or applying the electrical signal from/to the piezoelectric material, suitable electrodes can be produced from Ti based coatings with tailored multifunctional properties, conductivity and antibacterial characteristics, through Ag inclusions. This work reports on Ag-TiNx electrodes, deposited by d. c. and pulsed magnetron sputtering at room temperature on poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, the all-round best piezoelectric polymer.. Composition of the electrodes was assessed by microanalysis X-ray system (EDS - energy dispersive spectrometer). The XRD results revealed that the deposition conditions preserve the polymer structure and suggested the presence of crystalline fcc-TiN phase and fcc-Ag phase in samples with N2 flow above 3 sccm. According to the results obtained from SEM analysis, the coatings are homogeneous and Ag clusters were found for samples with nitrogen flow above 3 sccm. With increasing nitrogen flow, the sheet resistivity tend to be lower than the samples without nitrogen, leading also to a decrease of the piezoelectric response. It is concluded that the deposition conditions do significantly affect the piezoelectric polymer, which maintain its characteristics for sensor/actuator applications.
