The thickness of P(VDF-TrFE) varied from 120 nm to 1200 nm. Properties of P(VDF-TrFE) were investigated by current-voltage measurements of metal/ P(VDF-TrFE)/metal capacitors.

During these transients the coverage on the surface changes from predominantly oxygen covered to predominantly CO covered resp. vice versa. But the resolution of PEEM and especially its unknown and nonlinear dependence of coverage of the two adsorbates (oxygen and CO) and image intensity make it impossible to extract the changes in coverage.

The shapeand wall velocity of those islands has been connected perfectly to each other [CPL 423 (2006) 39], but not the absolute coverage and their variation during the reaction. Since the domain wall velocity is small on Iridium(111), this has opened the possibility for a detailed analysis of the changing coverage inside this domain wallutilizing synchrotron radiation and photo electron spectroscopy at BESSY II. The coverage profile of oxygen and CO inside a moving domain wall was measured for both cases using XPS spectra at O1s, C1s and the valence band during thereaction.

The polymer-immobilized enzymes were used for water treatment to decompose persistent organic molecules. Introduction of suitable comonomers allows tailoring the mechanical and chemical properties for special applications. Copolymers containing MMA and itaconic anhydride were chosen because of the formation of long-term stable anhydride functionalities. These anhydride functionalities are employed to attach enzymes covalently. 4-Benzoylphenyl methacrylate is used as comonomer for UV-initiated crosslinking. Terpolymers are successfully obtained by radical copolymerization in solution. The copolymers are compared to poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) [P(EMA)] often used with respect to enzyme immobilization, activity and hydrolytic stability. The hydrolysis stability of the copolymers against water is studied by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Thin films are prepared on glass substrates in a layer-by-layer procedure by spin-coating. The layer formation is monitored by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. UV-crosslinking of the copolymer films is performed taking the optimal irradiation dose that avoids polymer degradation. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy verifies the coupling reaction between amino groups of the enzyme and the anhydride groups on the surface of the crosslinked polymer film.

However, whether there is synchronisation of these strategies at the entire community level is unclear. Here, we combine trait data for 2800 above- and belowground taxa from 14 trophic guilds spanning a disturbance and resource availability gradient in German grasslands. The results indicate that most guilds consistently respond to these drivers through both direct and trophically mediated effects, resulting in a 'slow-fast' axis at the level of the entire community. Using 15 indicators of carbon and nutrient fluxes, biomass production and decomposition, we also show that fast trait communities are associated with faster rates of ecosystem functioning. These findings demonstrate that 'slow' and 'fast' strategies can be manifested at the level of whole communities, opening new avenues of ecosystem-level functional classification.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerHenkelMikaloetal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Klaus and Henkel, Karsten and Mikalo, Ricardo Pablo and Paloumpa, Ioanna and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Elektronik mit organischen Materialien}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus, Eigenverlag}, abstract = {Plastikelektronik, flexible Solarzellen, intelligente Kleidung, neuartige und maßgeschneiderte Transducer f{\"u}r die Gas-, Fl{\"u}ssigkeits- und Biosensorik, all dies sind Anwendungen, die ohne halbleitende Polymere nicht denkbar w{\"a}ren und die Bereiche erschließen, in denen zur Zeit eine regelrechte Goldgr{\"a}berstimmung herrscht.

It was observed that prolonged X-ray irradiation can accelerate the crosslinking of P(VDF-TrFE) and diminish the ferroelectric phase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) data indicate that the ferroelectric phase diminishes completely after 360 kJ of X-ray irradiation dose and it induces the paraelectric phase. In this work, the main emphasis was given to the optimization of the X-ray irradiation dose during XPS measurements to maintain the ferroelectric phase within the copolymer films.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerFleigeRachowetal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Klaus and Fleige, Michael and Rachow, Fabian and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Sabatier based CO2-methanation of flue gas emitted by conventional power plants}, series = {Energy Procedia}, volume = {40}, journal = {Energy Procedia}, issn = {1876-6102}, doi = {10.1016/j.egypro.2013.08.028}, pages = {240 -- 248}, abstract = {The hydrogenation CO2+ 4H2 ->CH4 + 2H2O discovered by Paul Sabatier nowadays is discussed as "Power-to-approach" to utilize excess energy from renewable electricity generation.

An example is the "power to gas'" concept with a conversion of CO2 into CH4. The CO2 is transferred into a carrier of chemical energy, with the possibility to feed the produced CH4 into the existing network of natural gas. At temperatures of around 350 °C, hydrogenation of CO2 to CH4 is possible by the Sabatier reaction CO2+4H2->CH4+H2O. One prerequisite for efficient kinetics of the Sabatier reaction is the application and optimization of catalysts. The focus of catalyst development is given to their performance under the conditions to be expected in the special application. As a part of the project Geoenergy-Research (GeoEn), we address questions related to the catalytic utilization of CO2 produced in the course of the oxyfuel combustion of lignite. In this contribution, we report on the experimental setup in laboratory scale, which enables an advanced characterization of the catalytic performance, including thermodesorption measurements at atmospheric pressure in order to determine the amount of adsorbed CO2 under real conditions.
