Description

DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
TITRE : STRUCTURE MULTICOUCHE POUR LE TRANSPORT OU LE STOCKAGE DETITLE: MULTI-LAYER STRUCTURE FOR THE TRANSPORT OR STORAGE OF
L’HYDROGENE HYDROGEN
[Domaine technique] [Technical area]
La présente demande de brevet concerne des structures multicouches composites pour le transport, la distribution ou le stockage de l’hydrogène, en particulier pour la distribution ou le stockage de l’hydrogène, et leur procédé de fabrication. The present patent application relates to composite multilayer structures for the transport, distribution or storage of hydrogen, in particular for the distribution or storage of hydrogen, and their manufacturing process.
[Technique antérieure] [Prior art]
Les réservoirs d’hydrogène représentent un sujet qui attire actuellement beaucoup d’intérêt de la part de nombreux industriels, notamment dans le domaine automobile. L’un des buts recherché est de proposer des véhicules de moins en moins polluants. Ainsi, les véhicules électriques ou hybrides comportant une batterie visent à remplacer progressivement les véhicules thermiques, tels que les véhicules à essence ou bien à gasoil. Or, il s’avère que la batterie est un constituant du véhicule relativement complexe. Selon l’emplacement de la batterie dans le véhicule, il peut être nécessaire de la protéger des chocs et de l’environnement extérieur, qui peut être à des températures extrêmes et à une humidité variable. Il est également nécessaire d’éviter tout risque de flammes. Hydrogen tanks are a subject that is currently attracting a lot of interest from many manufacturers, especially in the automotive field. One of the goals is to offer vehicles that pollute less and less. Thus, electric or hybrid vehicles comprising a battery aim to gradually replace thermal vehicles, such as gasoline or diesel vehicles. However, it turns out that the battery is a relatively complex component of the vehicle. Depending on the location of the battery in the vehicle, it may be necessary to protect it from impact and the external environment, which can be extreme temperatures and varying humidity. It is also necessary to avoid any risk of flames.
De plus, il est important que sa température de fonctionnement n’excède pas 55°C pour ne pas détériorer les cellules de la batterie et préserver sa durée de vie. A l’inverse, par exemple en hiver, il peut être nécessaire d’élever la température de la batterie de manière à optimiser son fonctionnement. In addition, it is important that its operating temperature does not exceed 55 ° C so as not to damage the battery cells and preserve its lifespan. Conversely, for example in winter, it may be necessary to raise the temperature of the battery in order to optimize its operation.
Par ailleurs, le véhicule électrique souffre encore aujourd’hui de plusieurs problèmes à savoir l’autonomie de la batterie, l’utilisation dans ces batteries de terre rares dont les ressources ne sont pas inépuisables, des temps de recharge beaucoup plus long que les durées de remplissage de réservoir, ainsi qu’un problème de production d’électricité dans les différents pays pour pouvoir recharger les batteries. In addition, the electric vehicle still suffers today from several problems, namely the autonomy of the battery, the use in these rare earth batteries whose resources are not inexhaustible, recharging times much longer than the durations. tank filling, as well as a problem of electricity production in the different countries to be able to recharge the batteries.
L’hydrogène représente donc une alternative à la batterie électrique puisque l’hydrogène peut être transformé en électricité au moyen d’une pile à combustible et alimenter ainsi les véhicules électriques. Hydrogen therefore represents an alternative to the electric battery since hydrogen can be transformed into electricity by means of a fuel cell and thus power electric vehicles.
Les réservoirs à hydrogène sont généralement constitués d'une enveloppe (liner ou couche d’étanchéité) métallique qui doit empêcher la perméation de l'hydrogène. L’un des types de réservoirs envisagés, appelé Type IV, est basé sur un liner thermoplastique autour duquel est enroulé un composite. Hydrogen tanks generally consist of a metal casing (liner or sealing layer) which must prevent the permeation of hydrogen. One of the types of tanks being considered, called Type IV, is based on a thermoplastic liner around which a composite is wrapped.
Leur principe de base est de séparer les deux fonctions essentielles que sont l'étanchéité et la tenue mécanique pour les gérer l'une indépendamment de l'autre. Dans ce type de réservoir on associe liner (ou gaine d’étanchéité) en résine thermoplastique à une structure de renforcement constituée de fibres (verre, aramide, carbone) encore dénommée gaine ou couche de renfort qui permettent de travailler à des pressions beaucoup plus élevées tout en réduisant la masse et en évitant les risques de rupture explosive en cas d’agressions externes sévères. Their basic principle is to separate the two essential functions of sealing and mechanical strength in order to manage them one independently of the other. In this type of tank, a thermoplastic resin liner (or sealing sheath) is combined with a reinforcing structure made up of fibers (glass, aramid, carbon). called sheath or reinforcing layer which allow to work at much higher pressures while reducing the mass and avoiding the risk of explosive rupture in the event of severe external attacks.
Les liners doivent présenter certaines caractéristiques de base : Liners should have some basic characteristics:
La possibilité d’être transformé par extrusion soufflage, rotomoulage, injection, ou extrusion The possibility of being transformed by extrusion blow molding, rotational molding, injection, or extrusion
Une faible perméabilité à l’hydrogène, la perméabilité du liner est en effet un facteur clé pour limiter les pertes d’hydrogène du réservoir ; Low hydrogen permeability, the permeability of the liner is indeed a key factor in limiting hydrogen losses from the tank;
De bonnes propriétés mécaniques (fatigue) à basses températures (-40 à -70°C) ; Good mechanical properties (fatigue) at low temperatures (-40 to -70 ° C);
Une tenue thermique à 120°C. Thermal resistance at 120 ° C.
En effet, il est nécessaire d’augmenter la vitesse de remplissage du réservoir d’hydrogène qui doit être environ équivalente à celle d’un réservoir à essence pour moteur thermique (environ 3 à 5 minutes) mais cette augmentation de vitesse provoque un échauffement du réservoir plus importante qui atteint alors une température d’environ 100°C. Indeed, it is necessary to increase the filling speed of the hydrogen tank which must be approximately equivalent to that of a gasoline tank for a heat engine (approximately 3 to 5 minutes) but this increase in speed causes the heating of the fuel tank. larger tank which then reaches a temperature of around 100 ° C.
L’évaluation des performances et de la sécurité des réservoirs d’hydrogène peut être déterminée dans un laboratoire de référence Européen (GasTeF : installation de test des réservoirs d’hydrogène) tel que décrit dans Galassi et al. (Word hydrogen energy conférence 2012, Onboard compressed hydrogen storage : fast filing experiments and simulations, Energy Procedia 29, (2012) 192-200). The evaluation of the performance and safety of hydrogen tanks can be determined in a European reference laboratory (GasTeF: hydrogen tank test facility) as described in Galassi et al. (Word hydrogen energy conference 2012, Onboard compressed hydrogen storage: fast filing experiments and simulations, Energy Procedia 29, (2012) 192-200).
La première génération de réservoirs de type IV utilisait un liner sur base polyéthylène haute densité (HDPE). The first generation of type IV tanks used a liner based on high density polyethylene (HDPE).
Cependant, HDPE présente le défaut d’avoir une température de fusion trop basse et une perméabilité à l’hydrogène élevée, ce qui représente un problème avec les nouvelles exigences en matière de tenue thermique et ne permet pas d’augmenter la vitesse de remplissage du réservoir. However, HDPE has the drawback of having too low a melting temperature and high hydrogen permeability, which is a problem with the new thermal withstand requirements and does not allow the filling speed of the tank to be increased. tank.

La demande internationale W018155491 décrit un composant de transport d’hydrogène présentant une structure tricouche dont la couche interne est une composition constituée de PA11 , de 15 à 50% d’un modifiant choc et de 1 à 3% de plastifiant ou dépourvue de plastifiant qui présente des propriétés barrière à l’hydrogène, une bonne flexibilité et durabilité à faible température. Cependant, cette structure est adaptée à des tuyaux pour le transport de l’hydrogène mais pas pour le stockage de l’hydrogène. International application WO18155491 describes a hydrogen transport component having a three-layer structure, the inner layer of which is a composition consisting of PA11, 15 to 50% of an impact modifier and 1 to 3% of plasticizer or without plasticizer which exhibits hydrogen barrier properties, good flexibility and low temperature durability. However, this structure is suitable for pipes for transporting hydrogen but not for storing hydrogen.
Ainsi, il reste à optimiser d’une part, la matrice du composite de façon à optimiser sa résistance mécanique à haute température et d’autre part le matériau composant la gaine d’étanchéité, de façon à optimiser sa température de mise en oeuvre. Ainsi, la modification éventuelle de la composition du matériau composant la gaine d’étanchéité, qui sera faite ne doit pas se traduire par une augmentation significative de la température de fabrication (extrusion-soufflage, injection, rotomoulage...) de ce liner, par rapport à ce qui se pratique aujourd’hui. Thus, it remains to optimize on the one hand, the matrix of the composite in order to optimize its mechanical resistance at high temperature and on the other hand the material composing the sealing sheath, in order to optimize its processing temperature. Thus, the possible modification of the composition of the material composing the sealing sheath, which will be made, must not result in a significant increase in the manufacturing temperature (extrusion-blow molding, injection, rotomoulding, etc.) of this liner, compared to what is practiced today.
Ces problèmes sont résolus par la fourniture d’une structure multicouche de la présente invention destinée au transport, à la distribution ou au stockage de l’hydrogène Dans toute cette description, les termes « liner » et « gaine d’étanchéité » ont la même signification. These problems are solved by providing a multilayer structure of the present invention intended for the transport, distribution or storage of hydrogen. Throughout this description, the terms "liner" and "sealing sheath" have the same. meaning.
La présente invention concerne donc une structure multicouche destinée au transport, à la distribution et au stockage de l’hydrogène, comprenant, de l’intérieur vers l’extérieur, une couche d’étanchéité (1) et au moins une couche de renfort composite (2), ladite couche de renfort composite la plus interne étant enroulée autour de la dite couche d’étanchéité (1), ladite couche d’étanchéité étant constituée d’une composition comprenant majoritairement : un polymère thermoplastique polyamide PA11 , jusqu’à moins de 15% en poids de modifiant choc, en particulier jusqu’à 12% en poids de modifiant choc par rapport au poids total de la composition, jusqu’à 1,5% en poids de plastifiant par rapport au poids total de la composition, ladite composition étant dépourvue d’agent nucléant et de polyéther block amide (PEBA), et au moins l’une des dites couches de renfort composite étant constituée d’un matériau fibreux sous forme de fibres continues imprégné par une composition comprenant majoritairement au moins un polymère P2j, (j=1 à m, m étant le nombre de couches de renfort), en particulier une résine époxyde ou à base d’époxyde, ladite structure étant dépourvue d’une couche la plus extérieure et adjacente à la couche la plus extérieure de renfort composite en polymère polyamide. Les Inventeurs ont donc trouvé de manière inattendue que l’utilisation d’un polymère thermoplastique polyamide PA11, comprenant une proportion de modifiant choc et de plastifiant limitée, pour la couche d’étanchéité, avec un polymère différent pour la matrice du composite et notamment une résine époxyde ou à base d’époxyde, enroulé sur la couche d’étanchéité, permettait l’obtention d’une structure adaptée au transport, à la distribution ou au stockage de l’hydrogène et notamment une augmentation de la température maximale d’utilisation pouvant aller jusqu’à 120°C, permettant ainsi d’augmenter la vitesse de remplissage des réservoirs. The present invention therefore relates to a multilayer structure intended for the transport, distribution and storage of hydrogen, comprising, from the inside to the outside, a sealing layer (1) and at least one composite reinforcing layer. (2), said innermost composite reinforcing layer being wound around said sealing layer (1), said sealing layer consisting of a composition mainly comprising: a thermoplastic polyamide PA11 polymer, up to less from 15% by weight of impact modifier, in particular up to 12% by weight of impact modifier relative to the total weight of the composition, up to 1.5% by weight of plasticizer relative to the total weight of the composition, said composition being devoid of nucleating agent and of polyether block amide (PEBA), and at least one of said composite reinforcing layers consisting of a fibrous material in the form of continuous fibers impregnated with a composition comprising mainly ent at least one polymer P2j, (j = 1 to m, m being the number of reinforcing layers), in particular an epoxy or epoxy-based resin, said structure being devoid of an outermost layer and adjacent to the outermost layer of composite reinforcement in polyamide polymer. The inventors have therefore unexpectedly found that the use of a thermoplastic polyamide PA11 polymer, comprising a limited proportion of impact modifier and plasticizer, for the sealing layer, with a different polymer for the matrix of the composite and in particular a epoxy resin or epoxy-based, wound on the waterproofing layer, made it possible to obtain a structure suitable for the transport, distribution or storage of hydrogen and in particular an increase in the maximum temperature of use up to 120 ° C, thus increasing the tank filling speed.
Le polymère thermoplastique PA11 (ou polyamide 11) est commercialisé par la société Arkema et est issu notamment de la polycondensation d’acide amino-11 undécanoïque. Par « structure multicouche » il faut entendre un réservoir comprenant ou constitué de plusieurs couches, à savoir une couche d’étanchéité et plusieurs couches de renfort, ou une couche d’étanchéité et une couche de renfort. The thermoplastic polymer PA11 (or polyamide 11) is marketed by the company Arkema and is obtained in particular from the polycondensation of 11-amino undecanoic acid.

The impact modifier is advantageously constituted by a polymer having a flexural modulus of less than 100 MPa measured according to the ISO 178 standard and of Tg less than 0 ° C (measured according to the 11357-2 standard at the inflection point of the DSC thermogram ), in particular a polyolefin.
Dans un mode de réalisation, les PEBA sont exclus de la définition des modifiants choc.In one embodiment, PEBAs are excluded from the definition of impact modifiers.
La polyoléfine du modifiant choc peut être fonctionnalisée ou non fonctionnalisée ou être un mélange d'au moins une fonctionnalisée et/ou d'au moins une non fonctionnalisée.The polyolefin of the impact modifier can be functionalized or non-functionalized or be a mixture of at least one functionalized and / or at least one non-functionalized.
Pour simplifier on a désigné la polyoléfine par (B) et on a décrit ci- dessous des polyoléfines fonctionnalisées (B1) et des polyoléfines non fonctionnalisées (B2). Une polyoléfine non fonctionnalisée (B2) est classiquement un homo polymère ou copolymère d'alpha oléfines ou de dioléfines, telles que par exemple, éthylène, propylène, butène-1, octène-1 , butadiène. A titre d'exemple, on peut citer : For simplicity, the polyolefin has been designated by (B) and functionalized polyolefins (B1) and unfunctionalized polyolefins (B2) have been described below. An unfunctionalized polyolefin (B2) is conventionally a homopolymer or copolymer of alpha olefins or diolefins, such as, for example, ethylene, propylene, butene-1, octene-1, butadiene. By way of example, we can cite:
- les homo polymères et copolymères du polyéthylène, en particulier LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE(linear low density polyéthylène, ou polyéthylène basse densité linéaire), VLDPE(very low density polyéthylène, ou polyéthylène très basse densité) et le polyéthylène métallocène . - polyethylene homopolymers and copolymers, in particular LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene, or linear low density polyethylene), VLDPE (very low density polyethylene, or very low density polyethylene) and metallocene polyethylene.
-les homopolymères ou copolymères du propylène. the homopolymers or copolymers of propylene.

La polyoléfine fonctionnalisée (B1) peut être un polymère d'alpha oléfines ayant des motifs réactifs (les fonctionnalités) ; de tels motifs réactifs sont les fonctions acides, anhydrides, ou époxy. À titre d'exemple, on peut citer les polyoléfines précédentes (B2) greffées ou co- ou ter polymérisées par des époxydes insaturés tels que le (méth)acrylate de glycidyle, ou par des acides carboxyliques ou les sels ou esters correspondants tels que l'acide (méth)acrylique (celui-ci pouvant être neutralisé totalement ou partiellement par des métaux tels que Zn, etc.) ou encore par des anhydrides d'acides carboxyliques tels que l'anhydride maléique. Une polyoléfine fonctionnalisée est par exemple un mélange PE/EPR, dont le ratio en poids peut varier dans de larges mesures, par exemple entre 40/60 et 90/10, ledit mélange étant co-greffé avec un anhydride, notamment anhydride maléique, selon un taux de greffage par exemple de 0,01 à 5% en poids. - copolymers of ethylene with at least one product chosen from salts or esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids such as alkyl (meth) acrylate (for example methyl acrylate), or vinyl esters of carboxylic acids saturated such as vinyl acetate (EVA), the proportion of comonomer being up to 40% by weight. The functionalized polyolefin (B1) can be a polymer of alpha olefins having reactive units (the functionalities); such reactive units are acid, anhydride or epoxy functions. By way of example, mention may be made of the preceding polyolefins (B2) grafted or co- or ter polymerized with unsaturated epoxides such as glycidyl (meth) acrylate, or with carboxylic acids or the corresponding salts or esters such as (meth) acrylic acid (the latter being able to be totally or partially neutralized by metals such as Zn, etc.) or alternatively by carboxylic acid anhydrides such as maleic anhydride. A functionalized polyolefin is for example a PE / EPR mixture, the weight ratio of which can vary widely, for example between 40/60 and 90/10, said mixture being co-grafted with an anhydride, in particular maleic anhydride, according to a degree of grafting, for example from 0.01 to 5% by weight.

La polyoléfine fonctionnalisée (B1) peut être aussi choisie parmi les copolymères éthylène/propylène majoritaires en propylène greffés par de l'anhydride maléique puis condensés avec du polyamide (ou un oligomère de polyamide) mono aminé (produits décrits dans EP-A-0342066). The functionalized polyolefin (B1) can also be chosen from ethylene / propylene copolymers predominantly in propylene grafted with maleic anhydride then condensed with mono-amine polyamide (or a polyamide oligomer) (products described in EP-A-0342066) .
La polyoléfine fonctionnalisée (B1) peut aussi être un co- ou ter polymère d'au moins les motifs suivants : (1) éthylène, (2) (méth)acrylate d'alkyle ou ester vinylique d'acide carboxylique saturé et (3) anhydride tel que anhydride maléique ou acide (méth)acrylique ou époxy tel que (méth)acrylate de glycidyle.

A titre d'exemple de polyoléfines fonctionnalisées de ce dernier type, on peut citer les copolymères suivants, où l'éthylène représente de préférence au moins 60% en poids et où le ter monomère (la fonction) représente par exemple de 0,1 à 10% en poids du copolymère : By way of example of functionalized polyolefins of the latter type, mention may be made of the following copolymers, where ethylene preferably represents at least 60% by weight and where the ter monomer (the function) represents for example from 0.1 to 10% by weight of the copolymer:

Dans les copolymères qui précèdent, l'acide (méth)acrylique peut être salifié avec Zn ou Li. In the above copolymers, (meth) acrylic acid can be salified with Zn or Li.
Le terme "(méth)acrylate d'alkyle" dans (B1) ou (B2) désigne les méthacrylates et les acrylates d'alkyle en C1 à C8, et peut être choisi parmi l'acrylate de méthyle, l'acrylate d'éthyle, l'acrylate de n-butyle, l'acrylate d'iso butyle, l'acrylate d'éthyl-2-hexyle, l'acrylate de cyclohexyle, le méthacrylate de méthyle et le méthacrylate d'éthyle. The term "alkyl (meth) acrylate" in (B1) or (B2) denotes methacrylates and acrylates of C1 to C8 alkyl, and may be chosen from methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate , n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, ethyl-2-hexyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate.
Par ailleurs, les polyoléfines précitées (B1) peuvent aussi être réticulées par tout procédé ou agent approprié (diépoxy, diacide, peroxyde, etc.) ; le terme polyoléfine fonctionnalisée comprend aussi les mélanges des polyoléfines précitées avec un réactif difonctionnel tel que diacide, dianhydride, diépoxy, etc. susceptible de réagir avec celles-ci ou les mélanges d'au moins deux polyoléfines fonctionnalisées pouvant réagir entre elles. Furthermore, the aforementioned polyolefins (B1) can also be crosslinked by any suitable process or agent (diepoxy, diacid, peroxide, etc.); the term functionalized polyolefin also includes mixtures of the aforementioned polyolefins with a difunctional reagent such as as diacid, dianhydride, diepoxy, etc. capable of reacting with these or mixtures of at least two functionalized polyolefins capable of reacting with each other.
Les copolymères mentionnés ci-dessus, (B1 ) et (B2), peuvent être copolymérisés de façon statistique ou séquencée et présenter une structure linéaire ou ramifiée. The copolymers mentioned above, (B1) and (B2), can be copolymerized in a random or block fashion and have a linear or branched structure.
Le poids moléculaire, l'indice MFI, la densité de ces polyoléfines peuvent aussi varier dans une large mesure, ce que l'homme de l'art appréciera. MFI, abréviation de Melt Flow Index, est l'indice de fluidité à l'état fondu. On le mesure selon la norme ASTM 1238. Avantageusement les polyoléfines (B2) non fonctionnalisées sont choisies parmi les homopolymères ou copolymères du polypropylène et tout homo polymère de l’éthylène ou copolymère de l’éthylène et d’un comonomère de type alpha oléfinique supérieur tel que le butène, l’hexène, l’octène ou le 4-méthyl 1-Pentène. On peut citer par exemple les PP, les PE de haute densité, PE de moyenne densité, PE basse densité linéaire, PE basse densité, PE de très basse densité. Ces polyéthylènes sont connus par l’Homme de l’Art comme étant produits selon un procédé « radicalaire », selon une catalyse de type « Ziegler » ou, plus récemment, selon une catalyse dite « métallocène ». The molecular weight, the MFI number, the density of these polyolefins can also vary to a large extent, which will be appreciated by those skilled in the art. MFI, short for Melt Flow Index, is the melt flow index. It is measured according to standard ASTM 1238. Advantageously, the unfunctionalized polyolefins (B2) are chosen from homopolymers or copolymers of polypropylene and any homopolymer of ethylene or copolymer of ethylene and of a comonomer of higher alpha olefinic type. such as butene, hexene, octene or 4-methyl 1-Pentene. Mention may be made, for example, of PPs, high density PE, medium density PE, linear low density PE, low density PE, very low density PE. These polyethylenes are known to those skilled in the art as being produced according to a "radical" process, according to a "Ziegler" type catalysis or, more recently, according to a so-called "metallocene" catalysis.
Avantageusement les polyoléfines fonctionnalisées (B1 ) sont choisies parmi tout polymère comprenant des motifs alpha oléfiniques et des motifs porteurs de fonctions réactives polaires comme les fonctions époxy, acide carboxylique ou anhydride d’acide carboxylique. A titre d’exemples de tels polymères, on peut citer les ter polymères de l’éthylène, d’acrylate d’alkyle et d’anhydride maléique ou de méthacrylate de glycidyle comme les Lotader® de la Demanderesse ou des polyoléfines greffées par de l’anhydride maléique comme les Orevac® de la Demanderesse ainsi que des ter polymères de l’éthylène, d’acrylate d’alkyle et d’acide (meth) acrylique. On peut citer aussi les homopolymères ou copolymères du polypropylène greffés par un anhydride d'acide carboxylique puis condensés avec des polyamides ou des oligomères mono aminés de polyamide. Advantageously, the functionalized polyolefins (B1) are chosen from any polymer comprising alpha olefinic units and units bearing polar reactive functions such as epoxy, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride functions. As examples of such polymers, mention may be made of the ter polymers of ethylene, of alkyl acrylate and of maleic anhydride or of glycidyl methacrylate, such as Lotader® from the Applicant or polyolefins grafted with l. maleic anhydride such as Orevac® from the Applicant as well as ter polymers of ethylene, of alkyl acrylate and of (meth) acrylic acid. Mention may also be made of homopolymers or copolymers of polypropylene grafted with a carboxylic acid anhydride and then condensed with polyamides or mono-amino polyamide oligomers.
Avantageusement, ladite composition constitutive de ladite ou desdites couches d’étanchéité est dépourvue de polyéther block amide (PEBA). Dans ce mode de réalisation, les PEBA sont donc exclus des modifiants choc. Advantageously, said constituent composition of said sealant layer or layers is devoid of polyether block amide (PEBA). In this embodiment, the PEBAs are therefore excluded from the impact modifiers.
Avantageusement, ladite composition transparente est dépourvue de particules cœur- écorce ou polymères cœur-écorce « core-shell ». Advantageously, said transparent composition is devoid of core-shell particles or “core-shell” core-shell polymers.
Par particule cœur-écorce, il faut comprendre une particule dont la première couche forme le cœur et la deuxième ou toutes les couches suivantes forment les écorces respectives. By core-shell particle, it is necessary to understand a particle of which the first layer forms the core and the second or all of the following layers form the respective shell.
La particule cœur-écorce « core-shell » peut-être obtenu par un procédé à plusieurs étapes comprenant au moins deux étapes. Un tel procédé est décrit par exemple dans les documents US2009/0149600 ou EP0722961. S’agissant du plastifiant The core-shell particle can be obtained by a multi-step process comprising at least two steps. Such a method is described for example in documents US2009 / 0149600 or EP0722961. Regarding the plasticizer
Le plastifiant peut être un plastifiant couramment utilisé dans les compositions à base de polyamide(s). The plasticizer can be a plasticizer commonly used in compositions based on polyamide (s).
Avantageusement, on utilise un plastifiant qui présente une bonne stabilité thermique afin qu'il ne se forme pas de fumées lors des étapes de mélange des différents polymères et de transformation de la composition obtenue. Advantageously, a plasticizer is used which has good thermal stability so that no fumes are formed during the stages of mixing the various polymers and of processing the composition obtained.
En particulier, ce plastifiant peut être choisi parmi : les dérivés du benzène sulfonamide tels que le n-butyl benzène sulfonamide (BBSA), les isomères ortho et para de l’éthyl toluène sulfonamide (ETSA), le N-cyclohexyl toluène sulfonamide et le N-(2-hydroxypropyl) benzène sulfonamide (HP-BSA), les esters d’acides hydroxybenzoïques tels que le para-hydroxybenzoate d'éthyl-2 hexyleIn particular, this plasticizer can be chosen from: benzene sulfonamide derivatives such as n-butyl benzene sulfonamide (BBSA), ortho and para isomers of ethyl toluene sulfonamide (ETSA), N-cyclohexyl toluene sulfonamide and N- (2-hydroxypropyl) benzenesulfonamide (HP-BSA), esters of hydroxybenzoic acids such as 2-ethylhexyl para-hydroxybenzoate
(EHPB) et le para-hydroxybenzoate de décyl-2 hexyle (HDPB), les esters ou éthers du tétrahydrofurfuryl alcool comme l’oligoéthylèneoxy- tétrahydrofurfurylalcool, et les esters de l’acide citrique ou de l’acide hydroxymalonique, tels que l’oligoéthylèneoxymalonate. (EHPB) and 2-decylhexyl para-hydroxybenzoate (HDPB), esters or ethers of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol such as oligoethyleneoxy-tetrahydrofurfurylalcohol, and esters of citric acid or hydroxymalonic acid, such as oligoethylene oxymalonate.
Un plastifiant préféré est le n-butyl benzène sulfonamide (BBSA). A preferred plasticizer is n-butyl benzene sulfonamide (BBSA).
Un autre plastifiant plus particulièrement préféré est le N-(2-hydroxy-propyl) benzène sulfonamide (HP-BSA). Ce dernier présente en effet l'avantage d'éviter la formation de dépôts au niveau de la vis et/ou de la filière d'extrusion ("larmes de filières"), lors d'une étape de transformation par extrusion. Another more particularly preferred plasticizer is N- (2-hydroxy-propyl) benzene sulfonamide (HP-BSA). The latter in fact has the advantage of avoiding the formation of deposits at the level of the screw and / or of the extrusion die (“die tears”), during a step of transformation by extrusion.
On peut bien évidemment utiliser un mélange de plastifiants. It is of course possible to use a mixture of plasticizers.

S’agissant du matériau fibreux Regarding the fibrous material
Concernant les fibres de constitution dudit matériau fibreux, ce sont notamment des fibres d’origine minérale, organique ou végétale. Regarding the constituent fibers of said fibrous material, they are in particular fibers of mineral, organic or plant origin.

Parmi les fibres d’origine minérale, on peut citer les fibres de carbone, les fibres de verre, les fibres de basalte ou à base de basalte, les fibres de silice, ou les fibres de carbure de silicium par exemple. Parmi les fibres d’origine organique, on peut citer les fibres à base de polymère thermoplastique ou thermodurcissable, telles que des fibres de polyamides semi-aromatiques, des fibres d’aramide ou des fibres en polyoléfines par exemple. De préférence, elles sont à base de polymère thermoplastique amorphe et présentent une température de transition vitreuse Tg supérieure à la Tg du polymère ou mélange de polymère thermoplastique de constitution de la matrice de pré-imprégnation lorsque ce dernier est amorphe, ou supérieure à la Tf du polymère ou mélange de polymère thermoplastique de constitution de la matrice de pré-imprégnation lorsque ce dernier est semi-cristallin.

Parmi les fibres d’origine végétale, on peut citer les fibres naturelles à base de lin, de chanvre, de lignine, de bambou, de soie notamment d’araignée, de sisal, et d’autres fibres cellulosiques, en particulier de viscose. Ces fibres d’origine végétale peuvent être utilisées pures, traitées ou bien enduites d’une couche d’enduction, en vue de faciliter l’adhérence et l’imprégnation de la matrice de polymère thermoplastique.Among the fibers of mineral origin, mention may be made of carbon fibers, glass fibers, basalt or basalt-based fibers, silica fibers, or silicon carbide fibers, for example. Among the fibers of organic origin, mention may be made of fibers based on a thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer, such as semi-aromatic polyamide fibers, aramid fibers or polyolefin fibers, for example. Preferably, they are based on an amorphous thermoplastic polymer and have a glass transition temperature Tg greater than the Tg of the polymer or mixture of thermoplastic polymer constituting the pre-impregnation matrix when the latter is amorphous, or greater than the Tm of the polymer or mixture of thermoplastic polymer constituting the prepreg matrix when the latter is semi-crystalline.

Thus, there is no risk of fusion for the organic fibers constituting the fibrous material during impregnation with the thermoplastic matrix of the final composite. Among the fibers of plant origin, mention may be made of natural fibers with base of flax, hemp, lignin, bamboo, silk, in particular spider silk, sisal, and other cellulose fibers, in particular viscose. These fibers of plant origin can be used pure, treated or else coated with a coating layer, with a view to facilitating the adhesion and the impregnation of the thermoplastic polymer matrix.
Le matériau fibreux peut également être un tissu, tressé ou tissé avec des fibres. The fibrous material can also be fabric, braided or woven with fibers.
Il peut également correspondre à des fibres avec des fils de maintien. It can also correspond to fibers with retaining threads.
Ces fibres de constitution peuvent être utilisées seules ou en mélanges. Ainsi, des fibres organiques peuvent être mélangées aux fibres minérales pour être pré-imprégnées de poudre polymère thermoplastique et former le matériau fibreux pré-imprégné. These constitution fibers can be used alone or in mixtures. Thus, organic fibers can be mixed with mineral fibers to be pre-impregnated with thermoplastic polymer powder and to form the pre-impregnated fibrous material.
Les mèches de fibres organiques peuvent avoir plusieurs grammages. Elles peuvent en outre présenter plusieurs géométries. Les fibres de constitution du matériau fibreux peuvent en outre se présenter sous forme d’un mélange de ces fibres de renfort de différentes géométries. Les fibres sont des fibres continues. The rovings of organic fibers can have several grammages. They can also have several geometries. The fibers constituting the fibrous material can also be in the form of a mixture of these reinforcing fibers of different geometries. Fibers are continuous fibers.
De préférence le matériau fibreux est choisi parmi les fibres de verre, les fibres de carbone, les fibres de basalte ou à base de basalte, ou un mélange de celles-ci, en particulier les fibres de carbone. Preferably, the fibrous material is chosen from glass fibers, carbon fibers, basalt or basalt-based fibers, or a mixture of these, in particular carbon fibers.
Il est utilisé sous forme d’une mèche ou de plusieurs mèches. It is used as a wick or several wicks.

EXEMPLES Dans tous les exemples, les réservoirs sont obtenus par rotomoulage de la couche d’étanchéité (liner) à une température adaptée à la nature de la résine thermoplastique utilisée. EXAMPLES In all the examples, the tanks are obtained by rotational molding of the sealing layer (liner) at a temperature suited to the nature of the thermoplastic resin used.
Dans le cas du renfort composite en résine époxyde ou à base d’époxyde, on utilise ensuite un procédé d’enroulement filamentaire voie humide qui consiste à enrouler des fibres autour du liner, lesquelles fibres étant préalablement pré-imprégnée dans un bain d’époxyde liquide ou un bain à base d’époxyde liquide. Le réservoir est ensuite polymérisé en étuve pendant 2h. In the case of the epoxy resin or epoxy-based composite reinforcement, a wet filament winding process is then used which consists in winding fibers around the liner, which fibers are pre-impregnated in an epoxy bath. liquid or a liquid epoxy-based bath. The reservoir is then polymerized in an oven for 2 hours.
Dans tous les autres cas, on utilise ensuite un matériau fibreux préalablement imprégné par la résine thermoplastique (tape). Cette tape est déposée par enroulement filamentaire au moyen d’un robot comportant un chauffage laser de puissance 1500W à la vitesse de 12m/min et il n’y a pas d’étape de polymérisation. In all other cases, then a fibrous material impregnated with the thermoplastic resin (tape) is used. This tape is deposited by filament winding using a robot comprising a 1500W power laser heater at a speed of 12m / min and there is no polymerization step.
Exemple 1 : Choc Charpy entaillé à -40°C selon ISO 179-1 :2010 Example 1: Notched Charpy shock at -40 ° C according to ISO 179-1: 2010
Deux liners à longue chaîne en PA11 et PA12 et deux liners à chaîne courte ont été préparés par rotomoulage comme ci-dessus. Two long chain liners of PA11 and PA12 and two short chain liners were prepared by rotational molding as above.
Ces quatre liners ont été testés en choc Charpy entaillé à -40°C et les résultats sont présentés dans la figure 1. These four liners were notched Charpy shock tested at -40 ° C and the results are shown in Figure 1.
La tenue à froid du liner PA1 lest très nettement supérieure à celles du liner à longue chaîne PA12 et des liners à courte chaîne PA6 et PA66. The cold resistance of the PA1 liner is very much better than that of the long chain liner PA12 and the short chain liners PA6 and PA66.
Exemple 2: Example 2:
Perméabilité de liners PA 11 et PA12 (Arkema) et HDPE (Marlex® HMN TR-942 (Chevron Phillips)) Permeability of PA 11 and PA12 (Arkema) and HDPE (Marlex® HMN TR-942 (Chevron Phillips) liners)
Deux liners à longue chaîne : un en PA11 (Arkema) et le deuxième en PA12 (Arkema) et un liner en HDPE ont été préparés par rotomoulage et la perméabilité à l’hydrogène à 23°C a été testée. Two long chain liners: one in PA11 (Arkema) and the second in PA12 (Arkema) and one liner in HDPE were prepared by rotational molding and the hydrogen permeability at 23 ° C was tested.
Cela consiste à balayer la face supérieure du film par le gaz d'essai (Hydrogène) et à mesurer par chromatographie en phase gazeuse le flux qui diffuse à travers le film dans la partie inférieure, balayée par le gaz vecteur : l’Azote This consists of sweeping the upper face of the film with the test gas (Hydrogen) and of measuring by gas chromatography the flow which diffuses through the film in the lower part, swept by the carrier gas: nitrogen
Les conditions expérimentales sont présentées dans le tableau 1 : The experimental conditions are presented in Table 1:
[Tableaux 1] [Tables 1]
Les résultats sont présentés en figure 2 et montrent que le liner en PA11 présente une perméabilité très inférieure à celle d’un liner longue chaîne en PA12 et d’un liner HDPE. Exemple 3 : influence de la proportion de plastifiant (N-butyl benzène sulfonamide : BBSA) sur le choc Charpy entaillé à -40°C selon ISO 179-1 :2010 The results are presented in Figure 2 and show that the PA11 liner has a much lower permeability than a long chain PA12 liner and an HDPE liner. Example 3: influence of the proportion of plasticizer (N-butyl benzene sulfonamide: BBSA) on the notched Charpy impact at -40 ° C according to ISO 179-1: 2010
Deux liners PA11 et PA12 sans plastifiant ou comprenant 7 ou 12% de plastifiant (BBSA) par rapport au poids total de la composition ont été préparés par rotomoulage. Two liners PA11 and PA12 without plasticizer or comprising 7 or 12% plasticizer (BBSA) relative to the total weight of the composition were prepared by rotational molding.
Ces liners ont été testés en choc Charpy entaillé à -40°C selon ISO 179-1 :2010 et les résultats sont présentés dans la figure 3. Le plastifiant a un effet délétère à froid plus prononcé pour le PA12 que le PA11 , il fragilise la structure du PA12 et augmente la perméabilité, notamment de 50% avec 7% de BBSA. These liners were tested in notched Charpy impact at -40 ° C according to ISO 179-1: 2010 and the results are presented in figure 3. The plasticizer has a more pronounced cold deleterious effect for PA12 than PA11, it weakens the structure of PA12 and increases the permeability, in particular by 50% with 7% BBSA.
Exemple 4 Example 4
Influence de la proportion de modifiant choc (« cocktail LT » présentant la composition suivante : lotader® 4700 (50%) + lotader® AX8900 (25%) + lucalène® 3110 (25%)) sur la perméabilité à l’hydrogène de liner PA11. Influence of the proportion of impact modifier (“LT cocktail” having the following composition: lotader® 4700 (50%) + lotader® AX8900 (25%) + lucalene® 3110 (25%)) on the liner's hydrogen permeability PA11.
La perméabilité à l’hydrogène de liner en PA11 , sans plastifiant et en présence ou non de modifiant choc a été testée et est reporté sur le tableau 2. The permeability to hydrogen of the PA11 liner, without plasticizer and in the presence or absence of impact modifier was tested and is reported in Table 2.
[Tableaux 2] [Tables 2]
La perméabilité peut également être exprimée en (cc.25p/m2.24h.Pa). La perméabilité doit alors être multipliée par 101325. Les résultats montrent que le la proportion de modifiant choc influe sur la perméabilité à l’hydrogène. The permeability can also be expressed in (cc.25p / m 2 .24h.Pa). The permeability must then be multiplied by 101325. The results show that the proportion of impact modifier influences the permeability to hydrogen.
Plus la proportion de modifiant choc est importante, plus la perméabilité augmente. Exemple 5 The greater the proportion of impact modifier, the more the permeability increases. Example 5
Réservoir de stockage d’hydrogène de type IV, composé d’un renfort en composite époxyde (Tg 120°C) fibres de carbone T700SC31E (produite parToray) et d’une couche d’étanchéité en PA11. Type IV hydrogen storage tank, composed of an epoxy composite reinforcement (Tg 120 ° C) T700SC31E carbon fibers (produced by Toray) and a waterproofing layer of PA11.
La température d’utilisation est suffisante pour un remplissage rapide du réservoir, notamment en 3 à 5 minutes. The operating temperature is sufficient for rapid filling of the tank, especially in 3 to 5 minutes.
Exemple 6 (contre exemple) : Example 6 (counter example):
Réservoir de stockage d’hydrogène de type IV, composé d’un renfort en composite époxyde (Tg 120°C) fibres de carbone T700SC31E (produite parToray) et d’une couche d’étanchéité en HDPE. Type IV hydrogen storage tank, composed of an epoxy composite reinforcement (Tg 120 ° C) T700SC31E carbon fibers (produced by Toray) and an HDPE waterproofing layer.
La température d’utilisation est trop faible pour un remplissage rapide du réservoir notamment en 3 à 5 minutes. The operating temperature is too low for rapid filling of the tank, especially in 3 to 5 minutes.
Exemple 7 : Réservoir de stockage d’hydrogène de type IV, composé d’un renfort en composite BACT/10T fibres de carbone T700SC31 E (produite par Toray) et d’une couche d’étanchéité en PA11. Example 7: Type IV hydrogen storage tank, composed of a reinforcement of BACT / 10T carbon fiber T700SC31 E composite (produced by Toray) and a waterproofing layer of PA11.
La composition de type BACT/10T choisie présente une température de fusion, Tf, de 283°C, une température de cristallisation, Te, de 250°C et une température de transition vitreuse de 164°C. The BACT / 10T type composition chosen has a melting point, Tm, of 283 ° C, a crystallization temperature, Te, of 250 ° C and a glass transition temperature of 164 ° C.
La Tg, la Te et la Tf sont déterminées par analyse calorimétrique différentielle (DSC) selon la norme 11357-2 :2013 et 11357-3 :2013 respectivement. Tg, Te and Tf are determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to standard 11357-2: 2013 and 11357-3: 2013 respectively.
Un composite à base PA BACT/10T présente une matrice à haute Tg, mais sans avoir de réticulation longue, du type 8h à 140°C. A PA BACT / 10T-based composite exhibits a high Tg matrix, but without having long crosslinking, of the 8h type at 140 ° C.
Par conséquent, après la dépose de fibre, le réservoir est fini, ce qui permet de gagner 8h de temps de process. Consequently, after the fiber removal, the tank is finished, which saves 8 hours of process time.
