| Abstract | |
The current trend in materials development points significantly to the development of nanocomposites. Several researches show that the characteristic properties of these materials present, compared to similar macrocystaline, a broad range of promising possible applications. Taking this into consideration, this project aims to study and develop nanostructured composite materials (polymer/filler) to use in the process of Infrared Laser Stereolithography (CO ). 2 Thus, this study involves the physical mixture of silica nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix composed of epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether bisphenol A - DGEBA) and diethylenetriamine (DETA) as curing agent. The determination of thermal properties and analysis of major general phenomena and mechanisms of nanocomposite materials cure were carried out using the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) technique. Computer simulation using a deterministic mathematical model solved by finite volume through the ANSYS CFX program, was performed ® to evaluate the profiles of the temperature spatial and temporal (transient thermal analysis) distribution in the sample (physical model) during laser application in nanocomposite materials. The simulation validations were made using the Infrared Laser Stereolithography (CO ) process, evaluating the effect of process parameters 2 (laser scan rate and laser power). The results obtained proved that among the studied systems, the DGEBA/DETA/NS A nanocomposite system have characteristics of viscosity and localized cure suitable for use in the Infrared Laser Stereolithography (CO ) process. 2 The experimental tests showed that the higher the scan rate of laser beam (?), lower the heat diffusion to the neighboring regions to irradiated point, and lower the thickness of the layer cured. Another observed aspect in the test refers to the fact that the smaller number of pulses incident on the material and the higher the scan rate of laser beam, better are the conditions to obtain localized cure, with little heat diffusion to neighboring irradiated volume regions. Based on these results it may be concluded that the localized cure depends on the material used and the control of operational parameters process (AU) | |
