AbstractAbstract
[en] Satellites on orbit near Earth have to face a radiative environment, which strongly degrades materials that constitute them. In particular, in geostationary orbit, many electromagnetic radiations and particles shorten the lifespan of such materials. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) resins are used in large amounts on satellites as binders or insulators and are degraded by these radiations, which translates into a loss of transparency and the formation of cracks at their surface. The work presented herein aims at limiting the degradations suffered by the resins when they undergo simulated ageing, especially through proton irradiation. In a first approach, the embedding of a layer of silica nanoparticles assembled in a compact way at the surface of the resins was studied. The size of the nanoparticles, their diameter, as well as their covalent binding to the matrix were investigated. A second approach was to synthesize a poly(dimethylsiloxane) resin in which all or part of the crosslinking is achieved via a thermically reversible (retro-)Diels-Alder reaction. (author)

Les satellites places en orbite a proximite de la Terre doivent faire face a des conditions radiatives qui degradent fortement les materiaux qui les constituent. En orbite geostationnaire en particulier, de nombreux rayonnements electromagnetiques ou particulaires reduisent la duree de vie de ces materiaux. Les resines poly(dimethylsiloxane) sont largement utilisees sur les satellites comme adhesifs ou isolants et sont degradees par ces rayonnements, ce qui se traduit par une perte de leur transparence et l'apparition de fissures. Les travaux presentes dans cette these ont pour but de limiter les degradations subies par ces resines lorsque ces dernieres sont soumises a un environnement spatial simule, en particulier sous irradiation proton. Une premiere approche a ete l'incorporation d'une couche de nanoparticules de silice assemblees de maniere compacte a la surface des resines silicones. La taille des nanoparticules, l'epaisseur de la couche ainsi que l'ancrage covalent de ces particules a la matrice ont ete etudies. Une autre approche a ete de synthetiser une resine poly(dimethylsiloxane) dont tout ou partie des noeuds de reticulation sont reversibles thermiquement, via une reaction de (retro-)Diels-Alder.
