Artigo Addition of magnetic markers for non-destructive evaluation of polymer composites(UFSCar - Dep. de Engenharia de Materiais, 2011-10) Fulco, Ana Paula Pereira; Melo, José Daniel Diniz; Paskocimas, Carlos Alberto; Medeiros, Suzana Nóbrega de; Machado, Fernando Luis de Araujo; Rodrigues, Alexandre RicaldePolymer composite pipes are an appealing option as a substitute for conventional steel pipes, particularly due to their inherent corrosion resistance. However, the composite pipes currently used do not allow non-destructive evaluation (NDE) using instrumented devices which operate with magnetic sensors. The present work aims at the development of polymer composites with the addition magnetic markers to allow the application non-destructive evaluation techniques which use magnetic sensors. Glass-polyester composite flat, circular plates were fabricated with the addition of ferrite particles (barium ferrite and strontium ferrite) and four types of notches were introduced on the plates' surfaces. The influence of these notches on the measured magnetic properties of each material was measured. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption were used for the characterization of the ferrite particles. Particle dispersion in the polymer matrix was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to the results, a particular variation in magnetic field was detected over the region surrounding each type of notch. The results suggest that the proposed technique has great potential for damage detection in polymer composites using magnetic sensors and thus constitute a valuable contribution which may ultimately lead to the development of non-destructive evaluation techniques for assessing the structural integrity polymer composite pipesArtigo Magnetic properties of polymer matrix composites with embedded ferrite particles(Elsevier, 2016) Fulco, Ana Paula Pereira; Melo, José Daniel Diniz; Paskocimas, Carlos Alberto; Medeiros, Suzana Nóbrega de; Machado, Fernando Luis de Araujo; Rodrigues, Alexandre RicaldePolymeric composite materials offer advantages for many applications because of a combination of properties, which includes high specific mechanical strength and elastic modulus and corrosion resistance. However, the non-magnetic nature of these materials impedes the use of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques using magnetic sensors. In this work, glass fiber-reinforced epoxy magnetic composites were produced with the addition of 10 wt% of cobalt or barium ferrite particles. Circular plates with notches of 1, 5 and 10 mm in diameter were produced and characterized using magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique. The effect of particle size on the magnetic properties of the composites was also investigated for the barium ferrite. The results indicated a good correlation between the measured magnetic signals and the presence of notches. Smaller average particle sizes hindered the identification of the smallest notch. However, it resulted in better signal-to-noise ratio for the intermediate and larger size notchesArtigo Preparation and magnetic study of the CoFe2O4-CoFe2 nanocomposite powders(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2008-12-16) Araújo, José Humberto de; Machado, Fernando Luis de Araujo; Cabral, Francisco de Assis Olímpio; Soares, João Maria; Rodrigues, Alexandre Ricalde; Araujo, ArmandoFerri-ferromagnetic nanocomposites CoFe 2 O 4 -CoFe 2 were prepared via reduction of the cobalt ferrite CoFe 2 O 4 into a hydrogen atmosphere and by heat treatments. This preparation method yielded powders with relative volume fraction of CoFe 2 O 4 and CoFe 2 in the range 0-0.91. The structure and the room temperature magnetization of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), and by vibrating sample magnetometry, respectively. It was found that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposite powders increases with the volume fraction of the ferromagnetic phase while their coercivity decreases. The highest value (5 kJ/m 3 ) for the maximum energy product (BH) max was obtained for the sample containing 91% in volume of CoFe 2 . This (BH) max is 19% higher than the value measured in pure CoFe 2 O 4 . The magnetic field dependence of the magnetization did also behave as the nanocomposite powders were single-phase materials. This result indicates that the hard ferrimagnet CoFe 2 O 4 and the soft ferromagnet CoFe 2 are effectively exchange coupled and that their magnetization reverses cooperatively in the range of compositions investigated
