A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - Chemical in-depth analysis of (Ca/Sr)F2 core–shell like nanoparticles by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with tunable excitation energy N2 - The fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis is applied with the intention to obtain two different types of core–shell nanoparticles, namely, SrF2–CaF2 and CaF2–SrF2. In two separate fluorination steps for core and shell formation, the corresponding metal lactates are reacted with anhydrous HF in ethylene glycol. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) confirm the formation of particles with mean dimensions between 6.4 and 11.5 nm. The overall chemical composition of the particles during the different reaction steps is monitored by quantitative Al Kα excitation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Here, the formation of stoichiometric metal fluorides (MF2) is confirmed, both for the core and the final core–shell particles. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis by synchrotron radiation XPS (SR-XPS) with tunable excitation energy is performed to confirm the core–Shell character of the nanoparticles. Additionally, Ca2p/Sr3d XPS intensity ratio in-Depth profiles are simulated using the software Simulation of Electron Spectra for Surface Analysis (SESSA). In principle, core–shell like particle morphologies are formed but without a sharp interface between calcium and strontium containing phases. Surprisingly, the in-depth chemical distribution of the two types of nanoparticles is equal within the error of the experiment. Both comprise a SrF2-rich core domain and CaF2-rich shell domain with an intermixing zone between them. Consequently, the internal morphology of the final nanoparticles seems to be independent from the synthesis chronology.

T1 - Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards Interlaboratory Study on Measuring the Thickness and Chemistry of Nanoparticle Coatings Using XPS and LEIS N2 - We report the results of a Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) interlaboratory study on the measurement of the shell thickness and chemistry of nanoparticle coatings. Peptide-coated gold particles were supplied to laboratories in two forms: a colloidal suspension in pure water and particles dried onto a silicon wafer. Participants prepared and analyzed these samples using either X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or low energy ion scattering (LEIS). Careful data analysis revealed some significant sources of discrepancy, particularly for XPS. Degradation during transportation, storage, or sample preparation resulted in a variability in thickness of 53%. The calculation method chosen by XPS participants contributed a variability of 67%. However, variability of 12% was achieved for the samples deposited using a single method and by choosing photoelectron peaks that were not adversely affected by instrumental transmission effects. The study identified a need for more consistency in instrumental transmission functions and relative sensitivity factors since this contributed a variability of 33%. The results from the LEIS participants were more consistent, with variability of less than 10% in thickness, and this is mostly due to a common method of data analysis. The calculation was performed using a model developed for uniform, flat films, and some participants employed a correction factor to account for the sample geometry, which appears warranted based upon a simulation of LEIS data from one of the participants and comparison to the XPS results.

T1 - Surface-Energy Control and Characterization of Nanoparticle Coatings N2 - Accurate and reproducible measurement of the structure and properties of high-value nanoparticles is extremely important for their commercialization. A significant proportion of engineered nanoparticle systems consist of some form of nominally core-shell structure, whether by design or unintentionally. Often, these do not form an ideal core-shell structure, with typical deviations including polydispersity of the core or shell, uneven or incomplete shells, noncentral cores, and others. Such systems may be created with or without intent, and in either case an understanding of the conditions for formation of such particles is desirable. Precise determination of the structure, composition, size, and shell thickness of such particles can prove challenging without the use of a suitable range of characterization techniques. Here, the authors present two such polymer core-shell nanoparticle systems, consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene cores coated with a range of thicknesses of either polymethylmethacrylate or polystyrene. By consideration of surface energy, it is shown that these particles are expected to possess distinctly differing coating structures, with the polystyrene coating being incomplete. A comprehensive characterization of these systems is demonstrated, using a selection of complementary techniques including scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic light scattering, differential centrifugal sedimentation, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. By combining the results provided by these techniques, it is possible to achieve superior characterization and understanding of the particle structure than could be obtained by considering results separately.

Landfill liner and capping systems in Germany N2 - An approach to achieve 'zero leakage' is discussed with respect to experience in Germany, where strict regulations for landfill lining and capping Systems have been developed and issued because of large environmental Problems related to landfills that accumulated in the 1970s and 1980s. Using a thick, high-quality high-density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane (GM) that is installed free of residual waves and wrinkles in intimate contact with a compacted clay liner or geosynthetic clay liner of very low permeability, by a qualified, experienced, well-equipped and properly third-party-controlled installer, and which is protected by heavy protection layers designed with respect to the long-term performance of the GM may result in a liner or capping system of practically no leakage. This is demonstrated by analysing results of measurements obtained from permanently installed leak-detection Systems in combination with HDPE GMs. The survey was based on 32 German landfills with 1.276.500 m² of installed GMs. KW - Geomembranes KW - Landfill KW - Landfill lining PY - 2019 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1680/jenge.16.00031 SN - 2051-803X VL - 6 IS - 3 SP - 1600031, 162 EP - 170 PB - ICE AN - OPUS4-48626 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Holzweber, Markus A1 - Lippitz, Andreas A1 - Hesse, R.

A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - The use of ionic liquids for the determination of the spectrometer transmission function in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) N2 - The uncertainty of measurement in quantitative XPS analysis can be reduced by using a calibrated spectrometer transmission function T (E), which is usually determined by taking spectra from Au, Ag, Cu and Ge elemental reference materials. However, this approach is quite time-consuming due to required sample preparation steps like sputter cleaning etc., and the relatively big number of samples to be measured. This contribution proposes the use of the ionic liquids [C2C1im][NTf2] and [C3C1im][NTf2] as reference materials for a determination of T(E). These multi-elemental samples deliver five intensive photoemission peaks, F 1s, O 1s, N 1s, C 1s and S 2p, in an energy window from 160 eV to 700 eV which is of specific interest for applications of quantitative XPS for surface chemical analysis of soft matter, one of the major applications of XPS.

A1 - Wöhlecke, Andreas T1 - The role of junction strength in the performance of geogrids N2 - Designing the performance of geogrids in reinforce soil constructions usually does not consider long-term behavior and possible failure modes of junctions between longitudinal and transverse ribs. How could behavior of junctions be included? To which extend is it necessary? On the conference Geo-Chicago 2016, Swan and Yuan presented an ultimate limit state equation for the short-term material resistance of junctions. We discuss limitations and suggest improvements to include long-term behavior of junctions. Nevertheless, the approach applies only to a specific mode of shear-tensile failure of junctions and only to strictly rigid geogrids. A new design concept presented in the same year by Jacobs on the conference GeoAmerica for the special case of the anchorage of geogrids, which reinforce capping system on long and steep slopes of landfills, tried to overcome these drawbacks. We discuss the aspects of this concept related to the long-term behavior of junctions and the interplay between the load applied to junctions and the flexibility of longitudinal ribs. This interplay and the long-term junction strength determine the long-term behavior of geogrids.

A1 - Unger, Wolfgang T1 - Determining the thickness and completeness of the shell of polymer core-shell nanoparticles by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectrometry, and transmission scanning electron microscopy N2 - Core–shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) have become indispensable in various industrial applications. However, their real internal structure usually deviates from an ideal core–shell structure. To control how the particles perform with regard to their specific applications, characterization techniques are required that can distinguish an ideal from a nonideal morphology. In this work, we investigated poly(tetrafluoroethylene)–poly(methyl methacrylate) (PTFE–PMMA) and poly(tetrafluoroethylene)–polystyrene (PTFE–PS) polymer CSNPs with a constant core diameter (45 nm) but varying shell thicknesses (4–50 nm). As confirmed by transmission scanning electron microscopy (T-SEM), the shell completely covers the core for the PTFE–PMMA nanoparticles, while the encapsulation of the core by the shell material is incomplete for the PTFE–PS nanoparticles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was applied to determine the shell thickness of the nanoparticles. The software SESSA v2.0 was used to analyze the intensities of the elastic peaks, and the QUASES software package was employed to evaluate the shape of the inelastic background in the XPS survey spectra. For the first time, nanoparticle shell thicknesses are presented, which are exclusively based on the analysis of the XPS inelastic background. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA)-assisted time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) of the PTFE–PS nanoparticle sample set revealed a systematic variation among the samples and, thus, confirmed the incomplete encapsulation of the core by the shell material. As opposed to that, no variation is observed in the PCA score plots of the PTFE–PMMA nanoparticle sample set. Consequently, the complete coverage of the core by the shell material is proved by ToF-SIMS with a certainty that cannot be achieved by XPS and T-SEM.

T1 - Aktuelle Themen aus der Arbeit des BAM-Fachbeirats und von der -Zulassungsstelle N2 - Welche Themen und Fragestellungen haben den Fachbeirat der BAM, seine Arbeitsgruppen und die BAM seit der letzten Fachtagung in Leipzig beschäftigt? Die Richtlinie Fremdprüfer und deren Anlagen wurden entsprechend der aktuellen Anforderungen angepasst. Die einzelnen Punkte wollen wir vorstellen. Im Zusammenhang mit Geotextilien zum Filtern und Trennen und Kunststoff Dränelementen wurden zwei Themen bearbeitet: (1) Die europäischen Anwendungsnormen und das deutsche Straßenbaumerkblatt für Geokunststoffe verwenden statistische Begriffe. Deren nur „beiläufige“ Erwähnung lässt jedoch offen, was genau im Zusammenhang gemeint ist. Produkte unterschiedlicher Hersteller können daher trotz gleicher Angaben zu den Mindestwerten in den Leistungserklärungen oder Datenblättern deutlich unterschiedliche Eigenschaften haben. Um vorschriftsmäßig bemessen zu können, muss man jedoch wissen, was sich hinter den Zahlen verbirgt. Eine Zulassung oder Zertifizierung ist nur dann sinnvoll, wenn darüber hinaus einheitlich definiert wird, was die Angaben für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle, die Inspektion durch benannte Stellen und die Kontrolle durch Dritte bedeuten. In den vergangenen Jahren seit 2009 wurde versucht, die Zulassungen stärker auf die Vorgaben aus der europäischen Normung zu stützen. Daher musste nun diskutiert werden, welche statistische Bedeutung die Angaben in den Zulassungen für Kunststoff Dränelementen und Geotextilien zum Filtern und Trennen haben. Hier musste eine einheitliche Regelung getroffen werden. (2) Die Langzeiteigenschaften von polyolefinen Geokunststoffen sind maßgeblich von den eingesetzten Stabilisatoren abhängig. Wie kann hier eine Überwachung während der Produktion der Geokunststoffe implementiert werden, wenn die Rezepturbestandteile der Produkte sensible Firmengeheimnisse der Rohstoffhersteller sind? Hier musste eine Lösung erarbeitet werden. Über die Ergebnisse soll berichtet werden. Wir möchten weiterhin über Entwicklungen in Zusammenhang mit Kunststoffdichtungs-bahnen (KDB) berichten. Die DVS (Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren) Richtlinie 2225-4 regelt das Schweißen der KDB auf der Deponiebaustelle. Werden KDB im strukturierten Bereich miteinander verschweißt, werden die Strukturen in der Regel vorher abgetragen. Die DVS Richtlinie sieht unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen von einem Abtragen der Strukturen ab. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde vom AK GWS ein Untersuchungsprogramm initiiert, das die Auswirkungen aufzeigen soll. Darüber haben wir bereits im letzten Jahr berichten. Das Untersuchungsprogramm wurde abgeschlossen. Die Ergebnisse und Schlussfolgerungen werden nun vorgestellt. T2 - 13.
