Estudo da cinética de degradação da resina benzoxazina e seus compósitos nanoestruturados

The benzoxaxine resin is a new class of thermoset phenolic resin, which is presenting, in the lasts decades, a great application in the aircraft industry due mainly to its excellent mechanical and thermal properties. This resin associates the mechanical properties of epoxy resin with the thermal and flame retardant properties of phenolic resin. In this context, they are considered polymers of high performance and they are excellent candidates to replace the current thermoset matrices used in the processing of high performance composites. Thus, in this study nanostructured composites Benzoxazine/CNT were produced at different concentrations of functionalized and non-functionalized CNT (0,1%; 0,5% and 1,0% w/w). The thermal stability of the benzoxazine resin and its nanostructured composites was studied using thermogravimetry (TGA) and degradation kinetic model Ozawa-Wall-Flynn (O-W-F). The thermal characterization also included differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic-mechanical analysis, infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The introduction of non-functionalized CNT at low concentrations resulted in nanostructured composites with better thermal properties in relation to the neat resin. For all cases, however, the dispersion of CNT in the matrix was ineffective

Análise dos ciclos operacionais para especificação de motores de indução trifásicos

This paper addresses the three-phase induction motor by a thermal analysis of its operation, under the gaze of the standards of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards that deal with working arrangements (operating cycles) defined by appropriate tests and for each use of the motor basis of this study, emphasizing especially the fact of the first three cycles are the cycles with greater possibilities of use for scaling a three-phase induction motor for the main industrial processes, will also be made an analysis of the reasons why the three-phase induction motors have a loss of power at altitudes above 1000 m above sea level and some methods of how to define how a three phase induction motor can be used in one of the first three working arrangements
