Processo de preparação de zirconia dopada e não dopada pela rota sol-gel usando nitrato de zirconila como material de partida

Processo de Preparação de Zirconia Dopada e não Dopada pela Rota Sol-Gel Usando Nitrato de Zirconila como Material de Partida compreendendo as etapas de preparação de uma solução de nitratos de zirconila e outros nitratos metálicos em solução aquosa com composto orgânico de etanol metanol ou acetona, através do controle de molaridade. Embora não limitantes, valores ideais para molaridade das soluções são: entre 1,00 e 0,29 para obtenção de pó entre 0,29 e 0,18 para obtenção de superfície recoberta e entre 0,18 e 0,13 para obtenção de filmes finos. Manter a solução a 0°C para formação de filmes finos por imersão do substrato ou monocristal com velocidade constante ("dip-coating") ou por rotação a velocidade constante ("spinning"), ou para recobrimento de superfícies metálicas através de imersões sucessivas do substrato metálico a velocidade constante ("dip-coating"). Elevar a solução a 50°C para hidrolização e formação de um gel em forma de pó, secagem de pó ou liofilização, calcinação e moagem dos aglomerados.

Estudo da influência de argilas organofílicas no processo de biodegradação do PLA

In this study nanocomposites of PLA and organoclays Cloisite 20A and Cloisite 30B were prepared by melt intercalation. The influence from the organoclays on the biodegradation of PLA was evaluated based on the respirometry method. The incorporation of clay Cloisite 20A did not change the mineralization curve of PLA. The nanocomposite with Cloisite 30B, on the other hand, presented a different behavior, indicating a delay in the polymer biodegradation. The materials were characterized by X-ray Diffraction, Thermogravimetric Analysis and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The materials characterization indicated nanocomposites with an intercalated structure as well as reduced thermal stability and a slight increase in the degree of crystallinity compared to the pure polymer.

The Effects of Weathering Exposure on the Physical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of High-density Polyethylene and Poly (Vinyl Chloride)

This paper presents results describing the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties (melt flow index - MFI and oxidative induction time - OIT) of high density polyethylene and poly (vinyl chloride) after weathering exposure (6, 12, 18, and 30 months). The materials exposed were geomembranes of two thicknesses: 1.0 and 2.0 mm (PVC) and 0.8 and 2.5 mm (HDPE). The climate parameters (average) obtained were 25 degrees C (temperature), 93 mm (precipitation), 66% (relative humidity), and 19 MJ/m(2). day (intensity of global radiation). Some results showed, for instance, that the behavior of the geomembranes changed after the exposures. A few minor variations in physical properties occurred. The density and thickness, for instance, varied 0.5-1.0% (average) for both the PVC and HDPE geomembranes. The mechanical properties changed as a function of the period of exposure. In general, some decreases were verified by the deformation of PVC. The samples became more rigid. In contrast, HDPE geomembranes became more ductile. Despite the variations in elasticity, some increases in deformability were verified. An MFI test showed some degradation in HDPE geomembranes. OIT tests revealed small values for both intact and exposed samples.

Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) starch: Basic physico-chemical characteristics and use as thermoplastic material

Starch isolated from non-edible Aesculus hippocastanum seeds was characterized and used for preparing starch-based materials. The apparent amylose content of the isolated starch was 33.1%. The size of starch granules ranged from 0.7 to 35 pm, and correlated with the shape of granules (spherical, oval and irregular). The chain length distribution profile of amylopectin showed two peaks, at polymerization degree (DP) of 12 and 41-43. Around 53% of branch unit chains had DP in the range of 11-20. A. hippocastanum starch displayed a typical C-type pattern and the maximum decomposition temperature was 317 degrees C.Thermoplastic starch (TPS) prepared from A. hippocastanum with glycerol and processed by melt blending exhibited adequate mechanical and thermal properties. In contrast, plasticized TPS with glycerol:malic acid (1:1) showed lower thermal stability and a pasty and sticky behavior, indicating that malic acid accelerates degradation of starch during processing.
