All the bare POFs (core and cladding only) studied here were based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core. The fibers were exposed to 100 °C/low humidity for about 4200 h. Chemiluminescence (CL) technique was applied to investigate the thermo-oxidative stability and for measuring the transmission loss during exposure a prototype device called multiplexer was used. POFs exhibited variation in thermo-oxidative stability although they possessed identical core material PMMA. This was due to difference in the chemical compositions of claddings. Claddings were more susceptible to the thermo-oxidative degradation compared to cores. The thermo-oxidative degradation of both the cladding and the core was found in POFs as a result of climatic exposure. POFs showed an early drop-off followed by a slow decline of transmission. The early drop-off of transmission was attributed to physical changes like thermal expansion and the slow decline of transmission to chemical changes like oxidative degradation of POFs. A good linear relationship between optical transmission stability and thermo-oxidative stability of POFs was established from these studies.

The UV radiant exposure at the front side was 80 MJ/m². To compare the actions of the different exposures, separate dark backside fluid exposures were performed, in parallel. Besides, UV weathering was carried out until a UV radiant exposure of 325 MJ/m², being roughly comparable to outdoor exposure of one year in Northern Australia. An unpigmented HDPE included in the investigation gave no sufficient protection for the White Spirit. In addition, it showed clear degradation after several of these exposures. In combination with the White Spirit, an increase of carbonyl bonds was measured, presumably assignable to degradation products of the White Spirit. For a pigmented HDPE material, with the implemented combined exposures, no relevant damage was observed, within applied the exposure period.

T1 - Development of leaching procedures for synthetic turf systems containing scrap tyre granules N2 - Scrap tyres are widely reused in the form of granules as infill materials or component of sub-base layers in construction of sporting grounds such as synthetic turf areas and athletic track surfaces. The recycled rubber may contain organic and inorganic pollutants due to the presence of vulcanisation catalysts, stabilisers and other additives which can be released into soil and groundwater in the case of outdoor sports facilities. In order to evaluate the amount of potentially mobile pollutants, leaching tests can be employed. This study aimed particularly at the investigation of the feasibility of column tests using complete synthetic surface flooring or turf system assemblies. The release of zinc and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) leached from components of sports surfaces containing recycled rubber granules was considered. Additionally, batch tests on coated and uncoated styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) granules aged by artificial weathering were performed to indicate its possible influence on the leaching behaviour of zinc and PAH. The chosen approach of column tests simulating typical complete synthetic sports surface installations has been proven to be feasible and robust. The time-dependent leaching behaviour and interactions between single components can be evaluated by column tests. Zinc was the most relevant contaminant in the eluates and its leachability was enhanced after accelerated ageing by artificial weathering. Leachable PAH were found in relatively low but well detectable amounts which increase by ageing as well.

Wenn entweder die Empfindlichkeit oder die Beanspruchungen Null sind, ergibt sich auch keine Umweltwirkung und bei beidseitig Werten größer Null das jeweilige Produkt der beiden. Die Akkumulation der nicht-reversiblen Effekte über die Zeit und allen Eigenschaftsänderungen entspricht der Alterung des Materials für den jeweiligen Expositionszeitraum. Die digitale Umweltsimulation gliedert sich hier in drei Teilaspekte. Ein erster, rein materialwissenschaftlicher Teil hat die Aufgabe, alle relevanten Materialempfindlichkeiten experimentell zu quantifizieren. Ein zweiter – unter Umständen numerischer Teil – hat die Aufgabe, das Bauteil und seine Einbaulage zu digitalisieren und aus den makroskopischen Umgebungsbedingungen die relevanten mikroklimatischen Umweltparameter für alle Oberflächen- oder Volumenelemente zu bestimmen. In einem dritten Teil werden die Einwirkungen über den betrachteten Zeitraum berechnet und kumuliert. Dieses Konzept, das auf den so genannten Expositions-Reaktions-Funktionen (ERF) basiert, wird an Beispielen der Photoxidation erläutert. Dieses Vorgehen wurde schon beim ViPQuali-Projekt als Numerische Umweltsimulation umgesetzt. Überprüft werden muss das Modell unbedingt an einer realitätsnahen Validierungsbeanspruchung. Hier werden die ermittelten ERFs mit über den kompletten Beanspruchungszeitraum geloggten Umweltparametern gekoppelt, um die berechnete mit der experimentell erfahrenen Alterungswirkung zu vergleichen. Nur so kann sichergestellt sein, dass alle für die Anwendungsumgebung relevanten Materialempfindlichkeiten einbezogen wurden. T2 - 52.

As both liquids underwent equal temperature progression, exposure effects of UV radiation and nitric acid as well as of their combination can be separated and compared. On the basis of various property changes after these exposures, synergistic action is evaluated and compared to a damaged Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) from a transport accident. It is found that carbonyl formation goes along with lightness increase in color measurement due to microcracking and with a worsening in mechanical behavior, all of them showing synergistic effects of UV and nitric acid exposure. In contrast, embedding nitrogen compounds goes along with yellowing of the material but cannot be correlated to oxidation. The reason for intensified damaging is the decomposition of the 55-percent nitric acid and formation of nitrogen oxides even at ambient temperatures, caused by UV radiation. Thus, damaging effects become similar to those caused by fuming nitric acid exposure at temperatures above 60 °C, with the result of strong oxidative degradation of the polyethylene. In contrast, exclusive exposure to the 55-percent nitric acid at 40 °C does not cause any failure. It can therefore be assumed that also the damaged IBC had been exposed to both UV radiation and nitric acid, probably outdoors.

Pinholes remained as permanent surface damage after removing the mildew mycelium. The extent of the damage differed in dependence of the kind of the coating. By tracing the images and profiles of the coating surfaces systematically over all phases of weathering and the subsequent cleaning procedure, a connection between formation of pinholes and mildew growth could be found. Outdoor weathering tests in other regions of Florida as well as in Europe and Australia showed that pinholes caused by mildew attack could also be found in all other locations, but always to a lower extent than in South Florida. The standardised mildew tests EN ISO 846 and MIL-STD 810F for laboratory exposure failed to reproduce the formation of pinholes.

For this purpose, a weathering device was used with UV-A 340 nm lamps at a constant temperature of 40 °C. The effects of environmental (UV and humidity condition) degradation on the frictional properties of TPU materials are presented along with surface analyses to characterize the chemistry of the degradative process. Photooxidative degradation of unfilled polymer leads to deterioration of physical and mechanical properties, which affects its tribological behavior significantly. Due to crosslinking, the stiffness of the material increases, reducing drastically the friction coefficient of unfilled TPUs. The frictional behavior of glass fiber reinforced TPU is less affected by radiation.

The aim was to investigate whether the sorption behavior of the fuels (diesel/biodiesel) and the colonization by microorganisms, frequently occurring in the fuel, is affected and may lead to undesirable or safety-relevant material changes. We showed that the UV-irradiation leads to significant changes of the sorption behavior due to chemi-crystallization and crosslinking. The fuel Sorption is affected by the UV-induced formation of polar carbonyl and hydroxyl groups predominantly occurring at the surface. With respect to microbial colonization behavior for Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from a contaminated diesel sample, differences of the initial adhesion could be shown depending on the initial type of polyethylene as well as on the degree of UV-induced degradation.

In this work, covering two more PE-HD materials, we extend our study to addressing the tensile properties, especially changes of Young's modulus, after immersion in biodiesel or diesel at 60 °C. As we cover sorption and desorption behavior, during desorption, i.e. storage at 60 °C in a circulating air oven, ageing or degradation phenomena were also observed and characterized in some detail using spectral reflectance measurements and FT-IR spectroscopy. The results obtained here support the concept of co-oxidation, i.e. the faster oxidation of the PE-HD matrix if the samples were previously saturated with biodiesel, itself easily oxidizable.

Aufgrund des Gefährdungspotenzials sind dabei entsprechende Sicherheitsvorgaben einzuhalten. Ziel ist die Bewertung synergistischer Effekte beider Einzelbeanspruchungen. Die Wirksamkeit verschiedener Stabilisierungskonzepte bei Beanspruchung durch 55 %-ige Salpetersäure wird beleuchtet. Es wird anschaulich gezeigt, dass nur pigmentiertes HDPE ausreichende Stabilität aufweist. T2 - 43.

T1 - Polymer foil additives trigger the formation of snail trails in photovoltaic modules N2 - After several months of operation, many photovoltaic (PV) modules develop a discolouration defect called snail trails which appear as irregular dark traces across the cells. These traces are caused by silver nanoparticles accumulating within the encapsulation foil directly above the grid finger. In this work we systematically investigate combinations of encapsulation and back-sheet foils with respect to their susceptibility for snail trails. We can show that certain additive compositions within the encapsulation and back sheet foils are critical for the formation of the discolouring silver nanoparticles. We suggest a reaction model explaining the formation of snail trails from a chemical point of view. This fundamental understanding allows the rapid testing of foils for their snail trail sensitivity as well as the special design of resistant foils.

T1 - Outdoor weathering of HDPE containers filled with nitric acid N2 - Jerrycans made from three different types of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were exposed outdoors, for one Berlin summer season. They were filled with a 55 percent nitric acid solution (HN03), pure water, or air, and half of them were protected from sunlight by an UV absorbing canvas. Thus, the separate effects of UV radiation and nitric acid could be compared to the combined impact. Combined impact was mainly affected by decomposition of nitric acid, resulting in presence of reactive nitrogen oxides, increased oxygen partial pressure, and UV radiation energy, simultaneously in vapour phase. To investigate the degradation effects after the outdoor exposure, jerrycans were exposed to a so called hydraulic internal pressure test, similar to an approval test for dangerous goods packaging. After combined impact of UV radiation and nitric acid, internal pressure tests showed very fast failures, whereas after separate impacts no remarkable deteriorations were observed, compared to unaged jerrycans.

T1 - Surface temperatures of irradiated test specimens - decisive physical quantities and a largely unsolved problem N2 - Temperature is an important parameter in weathering tests. In many (photo-)chemical degradation processes a Variation of the specimen temperature by A t = + 1 °C can cause a Variation of AP(property change) by ± 8%. Since the early eighties it is well known that some types of black panel thermometers can show temperatures that are far below the maximum surface temperature of a black specimen. Although, there were precise requirements for the black coating of the BPT, a replacement by a white coating - depending on the design of the BPT - did not really change the temperature shown by the thermometer. There was no correlation between the BPT and the specimen surface temperature. In Europe and later at ISO the so-called black- and white-standard thermometers BST/WST were introduced. Now, there are BST and WST (ISO) and there are thermally uninsulated and insulated BPT and WPT (ASTM), partly for artificial or for outdoor exposure. And there are other adventurous procedures to determine surface temperatures. The different types of thermometers and different procedures will be discussed and it will be shown that there is no procedure which establishes a correlation between outdoor surface temperatures and surface temperatures in artificial exposure tests.

T1 - Polypropylene numerical photoageing simulation by dose-response functions with respect to irradiation and temperature: vipquali project N2 - The aim of the joint project ViPQuali (Virtual Product Qualification) was to describe a component’s ageing behaviour in a given environment, by numerical simulation. Having chosen polypropylene (PP) as the material, which does not show sensitivity to moisture, the relevant weathering parameters of the dose–response functions could be limited to spectral irradiance and temperature. In artificial irradiation tests, for PP plates of varied stabiliser content, spectral sensitivity as well as temperature dependence of irradiation-caused crack formation was quantified. For that purpose, samples were exposed both to artificial weathering tests at various constant temperatures and to spectrally resolved irradiation. The temperature dependence could be modelled by an Arrhenius fit. For fitting the spectral sensitivity, a plateau function was chosen. Subsequently, the stabiliser content was parameterised and extrapolated. The formed dose–response functions were incorporated into a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software program, simulating the environment of a sample within a Phoenix-exposed IP/DP (Instrument Panel/Door Panel box) box, based on sun position and weather conditions, including radiation interactions. Observed local effects as well as the general ageing advance of PP hats are compared with respect to simulation and experiment. Resulting from this project, for this most simple example of PP of varied stabiliser content, the time to failure can be estimated for each weathering exposure environment with known time-resolved irradiance and temperature conditions.

The optical transmission stability of POFs was correlated to their thermooxidative stability. POFs possessed identical core material, poly(methyl methacrylate), but they differed in the materials used for the claddings. The optical transmission was measured online using a prototype device called multiplexer. The chemiluminescence (CL) technique was applied to characterize the thermooxidative stability and degradation of POFs. CL analysis reveals the thermooxidative degradation of bare POFs (core and cladding), predominantly of the claddings, as a result of climatic exposure. Ultraviolet-visible transmittance measurements demonstrated more changes in the claddings as compared to the cores due to degradation. The CL and optical measurements data indicated that the optical transmission stability of POFs was dependent mainly on the thermooxidative stability of the claddings and their chemical compositions.

T1 - Lebensdauerabschätzungen für Polypropylen durch Dosis-Wirkungsfunktionen bezüglich Bestrahlungsstärke und Temperatur (ViPQuali-Projekt) N2 - Für Polypropylen unterschiedlicher Stabilisierung wurden in künstlichen Bestrahlungstests sowohl die spektrale Empfindlichkeit als auch die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Rissbildung quantitativ ermittelt. Dafür wurde die Dauer bis zur Rissbildung sowohl bei spektraler Bestrahlung als auch bei Bestrahlung in einem UV-Leuchtstofflampengerät bei verschiedenen Temperaturen bestimmt. Die Temperaturabhängigkeit konnte als Arrhenius-Abhängigkeit beschrieben werden; das Wirkungsspektrum wurde an eine Stufenfunktion angepasst. Anschließend wurde auch noch der Einfluss des Stabilisatorgehalts als Potenzfit parametrisiert. Die Einzelabhängigkeiten wurden zu einer Gesamtfunktion der Wirkungen in Abhängigkeit der Dosis zusammengesetzt, die es ermöglicht die Wirkungen unterschiedlicher Dosiskombinationen abzuschätzen. Zur Validierung der Dosis-Wirkungsfunktionen wurden Freibewitterungsergebnisse aus Phoenix/Arizona herangezogen. Mit der Dosis, die sich aus den Wetterdaten dieser Freibewitterung ergibt, wurden anhand der Dosis-Wirkungs-Funktionen die jeweiligen Lebensdauern errechnet und mit dem experimentell bestimmten Versagen in der Freibewitterung verglichen. Die Arbeiten erfolgten im Rahmen des ViPQuali-Projektes mit dem Ziel der Bestimmung der Materialkenngrößen. T2 - 40.

Hochhausfassaden werden aus technischen und ästhetischen Gründen durch Fugen in Einzelabschnitte unterteilt. Zur Sicherstellung der Gebrauchsfähigkeit und zum Schutz des Gesamtbauwerks, aber in zunehmendem Maße auch zur statisch-konstruktiven Anbindung der Bauwerksteile, werden diese Fugenspalte in aller Regel durch spezielle Fugenfüllsysteme verschlossen. Aufgrund der hohen Sicherheitsrelevanz bei Fugenfüllungen im Glasfassadenbau fordert das Baurecht auch bei diesen Bauprodukten als Voraussetzung für die baupraktische Verwendbarkeit neben dem Nachweis der Funktionsfähigkeit auch den Nachweis der Dauerhaftigkeit. Da die hierfür bekannten Nachweismethoden zur Dauerhaftigkeit keine allgemeine Zulassungsakzeptanz finden, kann das ästhetische, bauphysikalische und ökonomische Potential von modernen geklebten Ganzglasfassaden (sogenannte SSG-Fassaden) in der Baupraxis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland derzeit nicht ausgenutzt werden. Grund dafür sind die ungenügend erfassten und in den Bewertungsverfahren simulierten Wechselwirkungen derartiger Baukonstruktionen mit der Umwelt. In diesem Beitrag soll am Beispiel moderner Fugen im Glasfassadenbau (SSG-Fassaden) eine ganzheitliche gebrauchsbezogene Versuchsmethodik zur kontrollierten Ansprache der Funktionsfähigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit von Fugensystemen unter realitätsnah und reproduzierbar simulierten Umwelteinwirkungen vorgestellt werden. Dazu werden die maßgebenden Umwelteinflüsse und die Quantifizierung der daraus folgenden Beanspruchungen auf derartige Fugensysteme dargestellt. Basierend darauf werden eine repräsentative Beanspruchungsfunktion zur Nachstellung der maßgebenden Umwelteinflüsse und Beanspruchungen auf das System Tragrahmen - Fugenfüllung- Glasscheibe sowie eine geeignete Probendimensionierung abgeleitet. In der Konsequenz werden die Erkenntnisse in den Aufbau einer neuartigen komplexen Versuchseinrichtung überführt. Funktionsprinzip und Leistungsparameter dieser Anlage zur Umweltsimulation werden vorgestellt. Die Möglichkeiten der Systemkennzeichnung werden vorgestellt. Erste Versuchsergebnisse zeigen das Potential der neuartigen Bewertungsmethodik auf, die Kunst der Fuge im Bauwesen gebrauchsorientiert weiter zu entwickeln. T2 - 44.

T1 - On the yet unsolved problem of the determination of precise surface temperatures of specimens exposed to natural and artificial weathering N2 - The surface temperature of test specimens exposed to natural and artificial solar radiation are roughly ascertained with black standard thermometers BST and white standard thermometers WST. For the calibration of these thermometers a new European Standard prEN 16465 was published in 2015, describing the well-known contact method and a new contactless method with a pyrometer. It can be confirmed that the temperature calibrations according to the two methods provide different calibration results which are not interchangeable (which is already stated in the scope of this standard). The described contactless method to determine the surface temperature 'under radiation load' results in clearly too high temperatures. This paper tries to highlighting the reasons.

T1 - A new irradiation device for medium scale plastic products N2 - A new irradiation device for the exposure of plastic products is presented. Developed in the BAM division 3.1 "Dangerous Goods Packaging" it can be used for artificial UV irradiation of plastic Containers filled with hazardous liquids. Present regulations and tests only investigate the exposure effects of UV and of media separately, but as the damaging effect is expected to be synergistic for at least some media, a combined test was looked for. A chamber of 60 cm by 60 cm base area and 1 m height gives space for up to 40 cm wide objects. Two fluorescent UV lamp arrays are arranged on opposite walls, separated from the chamber by quartz glass panes. By continuously rotating the exposure object by means of a rotary disc that the object is placed on, spatial irradiation homogeneity is achieved over the exposure duration. The spectral irradiance of the chosen UVA 340 nm lamps gives the best match of global solar radiation in the short wavelength ränge. The close arrangement of the UVA lamps (15 each side) results in 60 W m'2 UV irradiance. Constant temperature is adjusted to typically 40 °C by the control of the fan speed. This temperature is chosen, as it is the required temperature for three week storage of filled polyethylene Containers, for proving Chemical compatibility in the field of dangerous goods. To ensure homogeneity, an interiorfan provides for air circulation.

Subsequently, thermal aging at 125∘C was applied for up to one year. Degradation effects in the materials were characterized using colorimetry, UV-Visspectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and DSC. Both materials exhibited a yellowing upon irradiation.The discoloration of UHMW-PE disappeared again after thermal aging.Therefore, the yellowing is assumed to originate fromannealable color centers in the formof free radicals that are trapped in the crystalline regions of the polymer and recombine at elevated temperatures. For the antioxidantcontaining HMWPE, yellowing was observed after both irradiation and thermal aging. The color change was correlated mainly to decomposition products of the antioxidant in addition to trapped radicals as in UHMW-PE. Additionally, black spots appeared after thermal aging of HMW-PE.

T1 - Evaluation of outdoor exposures by means of exposure response functions N2 - Outdoor exposure tests are a common tool to evaluate the weathering resistance of a polymeric material or component. However, they have only a limited validity, mainly due to the limited reproducibility of the weather as well as of the bad adaptability to other exposure sites. Typically, an outdoor exposure is characterized by the measured radiant exposure; sometimes averaged temperature data are added. These can be – separately – related to long-term annual means, to get an idea on the severity of the exposure. However, as for polymeric ageing, irradiance and temperature act simultaneously, such severity of an outdoor exposure could be better described by a computed property change of a similar material, which is calculated from the hourly irradiance and temperature values on the base of established exposure response functions. In this way, various outdoor exposures are evaluated. For several exposure sites, annual deviations of the ageing amount are related to annual mean values, to evaluate the weathering reproducibility at the exposure site. Additionally, correlations to relevant weather parameters are illuminated. Also some specific exposure conditions, such as tilt angle, are tested. Compared to the use of weathering reference materials, this procedure unfavourably depends on the availability of a suited control as well as on the quality of the established exposure response function. In contrast, it enables a later exposure evaluation, on the base of documented weather data, if for instance no reference material was exposed.

A1 - Geburtig, Anja A1 - Wachtendorf, Volker T1 - Natural versus artificial weathering of polymers – main differences in climatic conditions N2 - Different climatic conditions and weather variables during natural and artificial exposure of polymers may be reasons for an unsatisfying correlation between the ageing results. Here the main differences are discussed for: - Global solar radiation In weathering devices there is a constant spectral irradiance which is 5 times higher than the averaged spectral irradiance outdoors, which is strongly varying in its diurnal course. Intensified weathering using Fresnel reflectors concentrates only the direct solar radiation with a relatively low UV proportion. Problems of reciprocity may arise from the different mean of irradiance levels. - Temperatures at specimen surfaces. Because of the high irradiance levels mentioned above, artificial exposures may lead to high surface temperatures and large temperature differences between differently coloured specimen surfaces, if the artificial radiation source emits much VIS- and IR-radiation. Outdoors the surface temperature and temperature differences of exposed specimens are influenced by considerably lower irradiance levels and additionally by an effective radiation loss in the night. - Relative humidity at specimen surfaces In weathering devices the relative humidity at specimen surfaces is very low if it is uncontrolled. If controlled by ultrasonic humidifiers or spray nozzles, the additional exposure to water droplets is quite likely. - Wetness on specimen surfaces All usual spray programs prescribed in weathering standards recommend frequently changing of short spray/dry periods and result in total times of wetness (TOW) of the exposed specimen surfaces which is only about 30 % of the outdoor TOW. - Acidic precipitation and bio films Acidic precipitation and bio films are usual outdoor conditions which are only considered in special weathering tests.

T1 - Influence of weathering on the leaching behaviour of zinc and PAH from synthetic sports surfaces N2 - Synthetic materials used for outdoor sports grounds consist of a mix of inorganic, organic and polymeric compounds that show ageing due to weathering and a complex leaching behaviour by percolation of rainwater, which can limit its lifetime. Additionally, weathering exposure induces degradation processes in the polymers, which leads to the formation of new surfaces allowing water to access additional reservoirs of leachable compounds. A laboratory test comprising artificial weathering, ozonisation and subsequent leaching was developed to investigate this behaviour in a reproducible and controllable way. The experiments showed a general decline of Zn, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations after an initial increase. Within this general trend, the course of concentration over exposure duration is very specific for individual sample materials and the analyte under investigation. The results indicate that weathering and degradation behaviour cannot be predicted from initial material conditions. Thus, weathering experiments are recommended to fill this gap of knowledge.

Fluorescently labelled polymer optical fibers (F-POF) offer an electrically passive method for PD detection in HV facilities. F-POFs could be embedded in HV cable accessories, which are usually made of silicone rubber. Herein they detect the light emitted by the PD and convert it into an electrical signal that can be monitored. Due to the difficult accessibility of HV cable accessories, a self-healing silicone rubber with prolonged service life after PD detection represents an attractive material design for HV accessories. With this contribution, we would like to present and discuss the possibilities of combining self-healing materials with POF-based sensors for PD detection in HV applications.

T1 - Messung der effektiven UV-Bestrahlung bei der Bewitterung von Polymeren N2 - Bei der Bestrahlung und Bewitterung von polymeren Werkstoffen wird die Degradation durch eine Absorption von Strahlung initiiert und meistens durch weitere Klimagrößen, wie z.B. Wärme, Feuchte und atmosphärische Gase beeinflusst. Die Messung einer effektiven Bestrahlungsstärke und ihre zeitliche Integration sind deshalb von großer Bedeutung und zwar sowohl für die Kontrolle der Funktion des Bewitterungs- oder Bestrahlungsgerätes als auch als zusätzliche Angabe der wirkenden Beanspruchung. Photochemische Prozesse werden beim Sehen oder allgemeiner bei Farbstoffen schon durch sichtbare (VIS) Strahlung, dagegen bei der Erythembildung der Haut und der Photodegradation von Polymeren erst durch die energiereicheren Photonen der ultravioletten (UV) Strahlung initiiert. Die spektrale Empfindlichkeit des Auges und die Erythembildung sind im VIS- bzw. UV-Bereich sehr stark wellenlängenabhängig, was durch die Angabe der mit der spektralen Hellempfindlichkeit V(λ) des Auges bewerteten VIS-Strahlung in Lux (lx) bzw. die mit der Erythem-Wirkfunktion Serythem bewertete UV Strahlung als dimensionsloser UV-Index berücksichtigt wird. Spektrale Empfindlichkeiten. Die Photodegradation von Polymeren ist im UV-Bereich ebenfalls stark wellenlängenabhängig, was bisher bei der radiometrischen UV-Messung nicht berücksichtigt wurde. Seit Mitte der 70er Jahre, als die lx- bzw lxh- Messung bei der Strahlungsbeanspruchung langsam durch die Ermittlung der radiometrischen UV-Bestrahlungsstärke bzw. der UV-Bestrahlung im gesamten UV-Bereich abgelöst wurde, gab es hier bei der Bewitterungsprüfung keine weiteren Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Charakterisierung der Strahlungsbeanspruchung im UV-Bereich. Seit Jahren liegen zahlreiche Ergebnisse über die spektrale Empfindlichkeit von Photo-degradationsprozessen vor, die zeigen, dass die spektrale Empfindlichkeit im Bereich der Globalstrahlung an der kurzwelligen Grenze bei ca. 300 nm, am größten ist und im langwelligen UV-Bereich bei ca. 400 nm gegen Null geht. Die Messungen der radiometrischen Größen UV-Gesamtbestrahlungsstärke und UV-Gesamtbestrahlung erfasst deshalb über weite Wellenlängenbereiche Strahlungsanteile, die für die Photodegradation bedeutungslos sind und mittelt über potenziell bedeutsame Änderungen im kurzwelligen UV-Bereich hinweg. Es wird das Konzept eines neuen UV-Radiometers vorgestellt, dessen spektrale Empfindlichkeit einer mittleren spektralen Empfindlichkeit der Photodegradation von Polymeren entspricht. Die effektive UV-Bestrahlungsstärke und UV-Bestrahlung kann dadurch wesentlich genauer erfasst werden. T2 - 48.

In recent years, distinct nanoparticles have been investigated to replace CB in whole or in part, in order to reduce the necessary filler content or to improve performance. Multilayer graphene (MLG) is a nanoparticle made of just 10 graphene sheets and has recently become commercially available for mass-product nanocomposites. Three phr (part for hundred rubbers) of MLG are added to chlorine isobutyl isoprene rubber (CIIR)/CB composites in order to replace part of the CB. The incorporation of just 3 phr MLG triples the Young’s modulus of CIIR; the same effect is obtained with 20 phr CB. The simultaneous presence of three MLG and CB also delivers remarkable properties, e.g. adding three MLG and 20 phr CB increased the hardness as much as adding 40 phr CB. A comprehensive study is presented, showing the influence on a variety of mechanical properties. The potential of the MLG/CB combination is illustrated to reduce the filler content or to boost performance, respectively. Apart from the remarkable mechanical properties, the CIIR/CB/MLG nanocomposites showed an increase in weathering resistance.

When only 1 wt% OMMT/4 wt% TAD is introduced into the EP, the limited oxygen index (LOI) rises from 26% to 36.9% and a V-0 rating is achieved in a UL 94 test. The decomposition and pyrolysis products in the gas phase and condensed phase were characterized using thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR). The influence on the decomposition of EP, such as the increase in char yield, is limited with the incorporation of OMMT; a large amount of the phosphorus is released into the gas phase. The flame-retardant effect evaluation based on cone calorimeter data testified that OMMT improves the protective-barrier effect of the fire residue of OMMT/TAD/EP on the macroscopic scale, while TAD mainly causes flame inhibition. The fire residues showed a corresponding macroscopic appearance (digital photo) and microstructure (scanning electron microscope [SEM] results).

However, the full benefits of using geosynthetics can only be gained with a long service lifetime of the products. With the use of added stabilizers to the polymers, service lifetimes can be achieved in the range of 100 years. Therefore, accelerated aging methods are needed for the assessment of the long-term performance of geotextiles. In the present study, the behavior of geosynthetic materials made of polypropylene was investigated under artificial aging conditions involving elevated temperatures ranging from 30 to 80 °C, increased oxygen pressures ranging from 10 to 50 bar in water-filled autoclaves, and UV irradiation under atmospheric conditions. ATR-IR spectroscopy was employed to detect the increase in the carbonyl index over various aging durations, indicating the oxidative degradation of the geotextile. The most pronounced increase was observed in the case of aging through UV irradiation, followed by thermal aging. Elevated pressure, on the other hand, had a lower impact on oxidation. High-temperature size exclusion chromatography was utilized to follow the reduction in molar mass under different degradation conditions, and the results were consistent with those obtained from ATR-IR spectroscopy. In polyolefins such as polypropylene, Hindered Amine Stabilizers (HAS) are used to suppress oxidation caused by UV radiation. The quantitative analysis of HAS was carried out using a UV/Vis method and HPLC. The degradation of UV stabilizers during the aging of geotextiles is responsible for the oxidation and the reduction in the molar mass of polypropylene. From the results, it can be concluded that applications of PP geotextile without soil or sand cover might cause the risk of the formation of microplastic particles. Material selection, design, and maintenance of the construction must follow best practices, including the system’s removal or replacement at end-of-life. Otherwise, a sustainable use of geotextiles in civil engineering is not possible.

Multilayer Graphene (MLG) is proposed as promising nanofiller to improve the functional properties of Chlorine-Isobutylene-Isoprene Rubber (CIIR), Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Natural Rubber (NR) and Styrene–Butadiene Rubber (SBR) at low concentrations. MLG is constituted by only approximately 10 graphene sheets. Nanocomposites with extremely low MLG content (3 phr) showed evident improvement in rheological, mechanical and curing properties. The Young's modulus of the nanocomposites increased more than twice in comparison with the unfilled rubbers. MLG also improved the weathering resistance of the different rubbers. The nanocomposites conserved their initial mechanical properties against weathering exposure.

It is a promising nanofiller just starting to become commercially available. The Dispersion of the nanofiller is essential to exploit the properties of the nanocomposites and is dependent on the preparation method. In this study, direct incorporation of 3 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) MLG into chlorine-isobutene- isoprene rubber (CIIR) on a two-roll mill did not result in substantial enhancement of the material properties. In contrast, by pre-mixing the MLG (3 phr) with CIIR using an ultrasonically assisted solution mixing procedure followed by two-roll milling, the properties (rheological, curing, and mechanical) were improved substantially compared with the MLG/CIIR nanocomposites mixed only on the mill. The Young’s moduli of the nanocomposites mixed in solution increased by 38%. The CIIR/MLG nanocomposites produced via solution showed superior durability against weathering exposure.

With only 1wt% MVC and 3wt% TGD, an epoxy thermoset passed UL 94 V-0 rating test and achieved a limiting oxygen index value of 34.0%, exhibiting an excellent flame retardant effect. The MVC/TGD system not only decreased the peak value of heat release rate and effective heat of combustion but also imparted an improved charring ability to thermosets, thereby outstandingly reducing the flammability of 1%MVC/3%TGD/EP. Compared with the fire performance of 4%TGD/EP and 4%MVC/EP, the MVC/TGD system showed an obvious flame retardant synergistic effect, mainly depending on the general improvement of flame inhibition, charring and barrier effects of the thermoset during combustion. Evolved gas analysis combinedwith condensed-phase pyrolysis product Analysis jointly revealed the details of the changed pyrolysis mode.

For comparison, UV radiant exposure (21 days) and nitric acid exposure (up to 6 weeks) were performed separately, at nearly equal temperatures. The damages are compared with FTIR spectroscopy in ATR and HT‐gel permeation chromatography(GPC) on a molecular level and with hydraulic internal pressure testing as a component test. For the used jerrycans, relevant oxidation can only be found after the combined exposure. This is caused by the decomposition of nitric acid into nitrous gases by UV radiation, which is also observed at lower concentrations (28 wt‐%). After 6 days of laboratory exposure, this is rated as critical, which corresponds to about 1/10 year in Central Europe, according to the UV radiant exposure. The gradual increase in oxidative damage shows the reproducibility of the test.

When homogenously dispersed, it works at low loadings enabling the replacement of carbon black (CB), increase in efficiency, or reduction in filler concentration. Actually the appropriate preparation yielded nanocomposites in which just 3 phr are sufficient to significantly improve the rheological, curing and mechanical properties of different rubbers, as shown for Chlorine-Isobutylene-Isoprene Rubber (CIIR), Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Natural Rubber (NR), and Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR). A mere 3 phr of MLG tripled the Young’s modulus of CIIR, an effect equivalent to 20 phr of carbon black. Similar equivalents are observed for MLG/CB mixtures. MLG reduces gas permeability, increases thermal and electrical conductivities, and retards fire behavior. The later shown by the reduction in heat release rate in the cone calorimeter. The higher the nanofiller concentration is (3 phr, 5 phr, and 10 phr was investigated), the greater the improvement in the properties of the nanocomposites. Moreover, the MLG nanocomposites improve stability of mechanical properties against weathering. An increase in UV-absorption as well as a pronounced radical scavenging are proposed and were proved experimentally. To sum up, MLG is interesting as a multifunctional nanofiller and seems to be quite ready for rubber development.

The surface degradation was monitored using different techniques (ATR–FTIR, microscopy, colour measurement). Different kinds of polymeric materials were chosen, all as they are used in practice: polycarbonate (PC) blends, polyamide (PA) and polypropylene (PP) flame-retarded with arylphosphate, melamine cyanurate (MC) and intumescent formulation based on ammonium polyphosphate (APP), respectively. All samples show material degradation at the surface due to weathering. No significant weathering influence occurs on the flame retardancy when it is a bulk property, as was observed for aryl phosphates in PC blends and MC in PA. When the fire retardancy is dominated by a surface mechanism, dependence on the duration of weathering is detected: for intumescent formulations based on ammonium APP in PP, a worsening in the formation of the intumescent network was observed.

In a laboratory test, transparent HDPE jerrycans have been exposed to both UV radiation and 55 wt-% nitric acid solution at (41 ± 2)°C, for up to 20 days. For comparison, UV radiant exposure (21 days) and nitric acid exposure (up to 6 weeks) were performed separately, at nearly equal temperatures. The respective damages are compared with FTIR spectroscopy in ATR and HT-gel permeation chromatography (GPC) on a molecular level and with hydraulic internal pressure testing as a component test. For the used jerrycans, relevant oxidation can only be found after the combined exposure. The gradual increase in oxidative damage shows the good reproducibility of the lab exposure. The decomposition of nitric acid into nitrous gases by UV radiation – as well as the jerrycan oxidation – is also observed at lower HNO3 concentration (28 wt- %). Similar results are obtained after outdoor tests. Again, the damage occurs only after combined exposure, in contrast to the exposures to UV only and to HNO3 only, which were conducted in parallel. Outdoor exposures are most readily accepted as they represent possible end-use conditions. However, the reproducibility of these exposures is poor due to the large temporal variations in weather. There are also several safety risks, which is why the number of replicates remains limited. Since the outdoor and lab exposure tests show the same qualitative results, it is appropriate to conduct systematic studies in the laboratory. After 6 days of lab exposure, the oxidation damage is rated as critical, which corresponds to about 1/10 year in Central Europe, according to the UV radiant exposure. It should be noted that this amount can also occur in two sunny weeks.

For this purpose 2,2[prime],7,7[prime]-tetrakis(biphenyl-4-yl)-9,9[prime]-spirobifluorene was embedded in a polymeric bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) matrix. The dependence of the fluorescence on concentration and wavelength was determined. The role of the intermolecular and intramolecular EET is dealt with separately and discussed by means of the degree of polarization. The intermolecular excitation energy transfer is described in terms of a Förster transfer mechanism. The intramolecular transfer is prevented for the zero-point vibrational levels by the molecular cross-shaped structure, but is found for a wide range of wavelength, presumably based on vibrationally excited states.

Chemiluminescence is proposed as a promising candidate for a suitable testing method assessing the thermo-oxidative stability of plastic optical fibers and cables. it requires not more than a simple one-day testing procedure and has the advantage that it can be carried out even within the lo cv temperature ranges of the cables' intended use.
