    Effectiveness of modified lignin on poly(butylene adipateco-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) mulch film performance
    2023 - BARROS, JANETTY J.P.; OLIVEIRA, RENE R.; LUNA, CARLOS B.B.; WELLEN, RENATE M.R.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B.
    In this work, the biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/ poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend (ECOVIO®) and lignin, a renewable and biodegradable natural polymer with high UV absorption and modified by gamma radiation were used to produce agriculture mulch films. Lignin was gammairradiated at 30 and 60 kGy. The irradiated and non-irradiated lignin content of 2 wt% was incorporated into PBAT/PLA blend matrix using a twin-screw extruder and extrusion blown film to prepare flexible films. PBAT/PLA/LIGNIN films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), tensile tests, contact angle, and UV–Vis analysis. FTIR spectra showed partial miscibility between PBAT/PLA and lignin, being intensified in irradiated lignin compounds. The DSC and XRD results confirmed that the degree of crystallinity of the blends was not significantly influenced by lignin addition. FE-SEM images showed better dispersion and miscibility in PBAT/PLA/Irradiated lignin. Miscibility improvement provided by irradiated lignin promoted better mechanical properties, mainly with lignin irradiated at 60 kGy. PBAT/PLA/LIGNIN films containing 2 wt% showed excellent UV-barrier property and greater hydrophobicity. Summing up, incorporation of low contents of irradiated lignin could be an interesting alternative to produce biodegradable UV-blocking agriculture mulch films.

    The effect of plasma nitriding on the fatigue behavior of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy
    2019 - CASTRO, MICHELE C.B. de; COUTO, ANTONIO A.; ALMEIDA, GISELE F.C.; MASSI, MARCOS; LIMA, NELSON B. de; SILVA SOBRINHO, ARGEMIRO da; CASTAGNET, MARIANO; XAVIER, GLEICY L.; OLIVEIRA, RENE R.
    The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used in the manufacture of components that must have low density and high corrosion resistance and fatigue strength. The fatigue strength can be improved by surface modification. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of plasma nitriding on the fatigue behavior of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy with a lamellar microstructure (Widmanstätten type). Nitriding was executed at 720 C for 4 h in an atmosphere with N2, Ar, and H2. Microstructure characterization of the samples was carried out by X-ray diffraction analysis, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The average roughness of the specimens was determined, and fatigue tests were executed in a bending–rotating machine with reverse tension cycles (R = 􀀀1). X-ray diffraction analysis of the nitrided alloy revealed the following matrix phases: , , "-Ti2N, and -TiN. A nitrogen diffusion layer was formed between the substrate and the titanium nitrides. Plasma nitriding resulted in an increase in low-cycle fatigue strength, whereas at high cycles of 200 MPa, both conditions exhibited similar behaviors. The fracture surface of the fatigue-tested specimens clearly revealed the lamellar microstructure. The fracture mechanism in the non-nitrided specimens appears to be due to cracking at the interface of the and phases of the lamellar microstructure.

Samples microstructure characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction analysis, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The average roughness of the specimens was determined, and fatigue tests were executed in a bending-rotating machine with reverse tension cycles (R= -1). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the matrix phases α and β, and the phases Ɛ-Ti2N and δ-TiN in the nitrided alloy. A nitrogen diffusion layer was formed between the substrate and the titanium nitrides. Plasma nitriding resulted in an increase in low cycle fatigue strength, whereas at high cycles, both conditions exhibit similar behavior. The fracture surface of the fatigue tested specimens clearly revealed the lamellar microstructure.
