C/C composites with alumina and aluminium nitride nanocharged matrix ; Composite C/C à matrice nanochargée en alumine et en nitrure d'aluminium

A hydrothermal-like process to introduce nano-structured alumina and aluminum nitride in carbon/carbon (C/C) composites is developped. Starting from dissolved reactants in an aqueous media,nanoparticules with various morphology are synthesised. The understanding and control of the processis completed in two steps. In the former the study on simplewafer type substrat allows to identifythe key parameters of the process. During the latter a scaling up of the process is done to allow thesynthesis in situ of C/C composites. The microstructural and some mechanical characterization ofthe four ranges of material produced is achieved.In addition several carbon|alumina and carbon|aluminumnitride are simulated using an ab initiomolecular dynamic approach. The methdology to generate the models consists in sumulating theliquid quench of a high temperature amorphous carbon inbetween fixed ceramic surface, then torelease the constrains. Depending on the system, different organisations of the nano-carbons withinthe surfaces are identified : when the graphene sheets are pependicular to the surface, the modelshows an important number of strong bonds and the simulation traction behavior is good, whereaswhen they are parallel to the surface it leads to weak interface and mechanical behavior.Finally HRMET charasterization of some of the materials produced allows to identify experimentalinterfaces alike to those obtained during themolecular dynamic simulations. ; Un procédé de synthèse de dépôts nanostructurés de céramiques à bases d’aluminium au sein de composites carbone/carbone (C/C) est développé. Il consiste à synthétiser à partir de précurseurs dissout en solution aqueuse des nano-particules de morphologies variées. La maîtrise du procédé se déroule en deux étapes. Dans un premier temps une étude sur substrat plan permet de saisir les points clés du procédé, puis l’adaptation de la synthèse au sein d’un échantillon massif permet le changement d’échelle à des échantillons fibreux.
