Ce travail est réalisé dans le cadre du projet ECO-TERRA R&D en collaboration avec quatre laboratoires de recherches français, des producteurs de chanvre en circuit-court et des artisans spécialisés dans l'utilisation de la terre et du chanvre en construction. Ce document se concentre premièrement sur deux démarches d'observation de la variabilité : une méthode qualitative et visuelle par la réalisation d'une matrice de consistance, et une méthode quantitative par la réalisation d'essais géotechniques. Les résultats de ces essais permettent ensuite une compréhension de la mesure du seuil de cisaillement sur chantier, ainsi que sa comparaison avec une mesure de laboratoire.

Research paper thumbnail of Membranes asymétriques à base d'un polyimide fluoré : relation entre conditions d'élaboration, morphologies et performances en perméation gazeuse

Neanmoins, cette technologie necessite le developpement de nouvelles membranes polymeres possedant une selectivite plus elevee que les membranes disponibles actuellement. Or, ces deux proprietes fondamentales necessaires a une separation de gaz optimale sont antagonistes. Un compromis doit donc etre trouve. Les proprietes finales de la membrane (resistance mecanique, thermique et chimique) dependent des caracteristiques intrinseques du materiau de depart et des relations existant entre sa structure chimique et sa permeabilite aux gaz. Notre choix s'est porte sur un polyimide, le 6FDA-mPDA, dans lequel la presence de groupements CF3 offre un bon compromis entre permeabilite et selectivite. L'elaboration des membranes asymetriques resulte d'une transformation par inversion de phases. Dans notre cas, cette technique transforme une solution homogene a deux constituants (polymere et solvant) en un milieu biphasique a trois constituants par l'addition d'un non-solvant. Pendant ce processus, la nature du non-solvant, du solvant, et la concentration en polymere dans la solution initiale influencent directement le mecanisme de formation de la membrane et lui conferent ses proprietes. La classification des non-solvants et des solvants a ete realisee par la construction de diagrammes de phases et la determination des parametres d'interaction x. La visualisation des coupes transversales des membranes asymetriques par microscopie electronique a balayage et l'etude de la permeation de deux gaz (N2, CO2) a travers ces membranes ont montre la relation existant entre les conditions d'elaboration et les caracteristiques des membranes asymetriques. L'influence de l'evaporation prealable du solvant avant l'immersion et de melanges de solvants ont egalement ete montrees.

Research paper thumbnail of Relaxation map of a 100% green thermoplastic film. Glass transition and fragility

Physica B-condensed Matter, Feb 1, 2010

The existence of two vitreous phases in this 100% green thermoplastic film has been pointed out by means of calorimetric measurements ( T g =−56 °C and T g =10 °C) and confirmed by electron microscopy. The molecular dynamics have been investigated by means of DMA measurements for temperature domains in the vicinity of the glass transition of each phase. We show that each phase exhibits a molecular dynamic characteristic of a fragile glass liquid former. The size of the cooperative domain engaged in the relaxation processes have also been estimated and we show that this new green thermoplastic exhibits relaxation mechanisms as expected for a conventional thermoplastic, as for instance a PMMA.

These materials come from the paper recycling industry. In present study, wastepaper sludge ash (WSA) retrieved from UPM Chapelle Darblay Company located in the south of Rouen, France, were subjected to preliminary physicochemical characterization by X-ray fluorescence, laser granulometry and scanning electron microscope (SEM) imagery for particles morphology. Afterwards, the WSA considered as mineral addition was blended with cement, lime, and calcined kaolin for the highest possible dosages in WSA. The effects of reactivity were evaluated by means of mechanical strength measurements. Cylindrical samples were prepared with WSA mixtures and air-cured for 7, 14 and 28 days at ambient room temperature. WSA content ranged from 30%–95%. The samples obtained were subjected to unconfined compressive strength to verify the occurrence of reactivity and resistance. The results indicated that the strength increased along the curing time for all mixtures except for the reference sample in which 100% of WSA was used. The lime addition does not impact the unconfined compressive strength. As main results, on one hand, WSA and cement based mixtures with a weight ratio of 95/5 develop 2 MPa compressive strength and more during the curing time which suit for construction materials. On the other hand, with only 5% of calcined kaolin, a value of 9 MPa was attained after 28 days indicating that mixtures with calcined kaolin can be effectively used for building materials such as bricks or blocks.
