T1 - Final report on key comparison K67 and parallel pilot study P108: measurement of composition of a thin Fe-Ni alloy film N2 - The Key Comparison K67 and the parallel Pilot Study P108 on quantitative analysis of thin alloy films have been completed in the Surface Analysis Working Group (SAWG) of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM). The aim of these inter-laboratory comparisons is to determine the degree of equivalence in the measurement capability of national metrology institutes (NMIs) and designated institutes (DIs) for the determination of the composition of thin alloy films. The measurand is expressed in atomic percent. A Fe-Ni alloy film with a certified composition was available for the participants of the inter-laboratory comparison. It has been used as a reference specimen to determine the relative sensitivity factors (RSF) of Fe and Ni for the different analytical methods used by the participants to determine the composition of the test sample. As was shown in the preceding Pilot Study P98, the degrees of equivalence in the measurement capabilities of the participants can be improved in that way. The composition of the reference specimen was certified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) using the isotope dilution method. The in-depth and lateral homogeneity, determined in terms of elemental composition, of the certified reference sample and the unknown test sample were confirmed by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) using C60 primary ions by the leading laboratory. Five laboratories participated in the key comparison. Four of them used x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and one Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). One laboratory participated in the parallel P108 pilot study using electron probe micro analysis with an energy-dispersive spectrometer (ED EPMA) and XPS.

T1 - Inter-laboratory comparison: quantitative surface analysis of thin Fe-Ni alloy films N2 - An international interlaboratory comparison of the measurement capabilities of four National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and one Designated Institute (DI) in the determination of the chemical composition of thin Fe-Ni alloy films was conducted via a key comparison (K-67) of the Surface Analysis Working Group of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance. This comparison was made using XPS (four laboratories) and AES (one laboratory) measurements. The uncertainty budget of the measured chemical composition of a thin alloy film was dominated by the uncertainty of the certified composition of a reference specimen which had been determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry using the isotope dilution method. Pilot study P-98 showed that the quantification using relative sensitivity factors (RSFs) of Fe and Ni derived from an alloy reference sample results in much more accurate result in comparison to an approach using RSFs derived from pure Fe and Ni films. The individual expanded uncertainties of the participants in the K-67 comparison were found to be between 2.88 and 3.40 atomic %. The uncertainty of the key comparison reference value (KCRV) calculated from individual standard deviations and a coverage factor (k) of 2 was 1.23 atomic %.

T1 - Multiphase and Pore Scale Modeling on Catalyst Layer of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell N2 - Phosphoric acid as the electrolyte in high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell plays an essential role in ist performance and lifetime. Maldistribution of phosphoric acid in the catalyst layer (CL) may result in performance degradation. In the present study, pore-scale simulations were carried out to investigate phosphoric acid’s multiphase flow in a cathode CL. A reconstructed CL model was built using focused ion beam-SEM images, where distributions of pore, carbon support, binder, and catalyst particles can be identified. The multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method was employed to simulate phosphoric Acid invading and leaching from the membrane into the CL during the membrane electrode assembly fabrication process. The predicted redistribution of phosphoric acid indicates that phosphoric acid of low viscosity or low wettability is prone to leaching into the CL. The effective transport properties and the active electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) were computed using a pore-scale model. They were subsequently used in a macroscopic model to evaluate the cell performance. A parametric study shows that cell performance first increases with increasing phosphoric acid content due to the increase of ECSA. However, further increasing phosphoric acid content results in performance degradation due to mass transfer limitation caused by acid flooding.

T1 - Codependent failure mechanisms between cathode and anode in solid state lithium metal batteries: mediated by uneven ion flux N2 - An in-depth understanding of the degradation mechanisms is a prerequisite for developing the nextgeneration all solid-state lithium metal battery (ASSLMB) technology. Herein, synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SXCT) together with other probing tools and simulation method were employed to rediscover the decaying mechanisms of LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM)|Li6PS5Cl (LPSCl)|Li ASSLMB. It reveals that the detachment and isolation of NCM particles cause the current focusing on the remaining active regions of cathode. The extent of Li stripping and the likelihood of Li+ plating into LPSCl facing the active NCM particles becomes higher. Besides, the homogeneity of Li stripping/plating is improved by homogenizing the electrochemical reactions at the cathode side by LiZr2(PO4)3 (LZP) coating. These results suggest a codependent failure mechanism between cathode and anode that is mediated by uneven Li ion flux. This work contributes to establish a holistic understanding of the degradation mechanisms in ASSLMBs and opens new opportunities for their further optimization and evelopment.

Dabei ist das Schmelzschweißen die Hauptverbindungstechnologie für diese Werkstoffgruppe. Während der Entwicklung der hochfesten niedriglegierten (engl. HSLA) Stähle wurden in der Vergangenheit unterschiedliche Legierungskonzepte mit fortgeschrittenen Herstellungstechniken kombiniert und umfassend untersucht. Jedoch befassten sich nur wenige Studien damit, wie die unterschiedliche Zusammensetzung der Legierungen die Eigenschaften der hochfesten Schweißverbindungen dieser Stähle beeinflussen, selbst im Fall begrenzter Gehalte von Mikrolegierungselementen. In der Schweißpraxis dieser hochfesten Stähle sind die Herausforderungen an die sich ausbildenden Mikrostruktur und den resultierenden mechanischen Eigenschaften von sehr großem Interesse. Diesbezüglich liegt der Hauptfokus des Interesses beim Einfluss der Mikrolegierungselemente auf die Phasenumwandlung sowie die resultierende Performance der Schweißverbindung selbst. Geringes Erweichen (Softening) der Wärmeeinflusszone (WEZ) sowie ein begrenztes Austenitkörner-Wachstum sind dabei erwünschte Eigenschaften der Schweißnaht, jedoch liegt das Hauptaugenmerk auf der Sicherstellung hervorragender Zähigkeits- und Zugeigenschaften. Zum Erreichen dieses Zieles werden Mikrolegierungselemente wie Ti, Nb oder V bewusst zu diesen modernen hochfesten Stählen zulegiert. Der Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit ist das Verständnis, wie die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Verbindungen dieser HSLA-Stähle von Unterschieden in den jeweiligen Legierungskonzepten abhängen, die durch moderne Schweißprozesse gefügt werden. Zunächst wurden dazu drei unterschiedlich mikrolegierte (Nb, Ti und Ti+V Zugabe) Stähle vom Typ S690QL untersucht. Lichtmikroskopische Untersuchungen bestätigten dabei, dass eine ähnliche Zusammensetzung aus angelassenem Bainit und Martensit in allen drei Grundwerkstoffen vorherrschte und unterschiedlich stark vergröberte Ausscheidungen der Mikrolegierungselemente beobachtet wurden. Diese Ausscheidungen wurden weiterführend mittels thermodynamischer Softwareberechnung analysiert und durch Transmissions-Elektronen-Mikroskopie (TEM) identifiziert. Die Ergebnisse der mechanischen Werkstoffprüfung zeigten, dass alle drei Stähle oberhalb der nach Norm geforderten Zähigkeits- und Zugfestigkeitswerte lagen, jedoch Unterschiede im Dehnungsverhalten aufwiesen. Die drei Stähle wurden dann anschließend unter Verwendung des gleichen Schweißzusatzes geschweißt. Dabei wurde das abgeschmolzene Schweißgut durch die Mikrolegierungselemente aus dem Grundwerkstoff infolge der hohen Aufmischung beeinflusst. Die erhöhte Aufmischung bildet dabei ein wesentliches Merkmal der verwendeten modifizierten Sprühlichtbogentechnik. Als Ergebnis zeigte der Nb-mikrolegierte Stahl eine genügend hohe Aufnahme von Legierungselementen aus dem Grundwerkstoff in das Schweißgut, um dessen Mikrostruktur im Fall steigender Abkühlraten von nadeligem Ferrit hin zu Bainit zu verändern. Dieses wiederum reduzierte die Zähigkeitseigenschaften des Schweißgutes dieses Nb-legierten Stahls. Dieses Verhalten wurde in den beiden anderen Stählen nicht beobachtet. Ein zweiter Hauptpunkt dieser Arbeit war die Ausbildung der Mikrostruktur in der Feinkorn- und Grobkorn-WEZ und deren Zähigkeitseigenschaften mit den sich verändernden Schweißparametern. Zu diesem Zweck wurden definierte Werkstoffzustände physikalisch simuliert, um die resultierende Mikrostruktur sowie das Austenitkorn-Wachstum zu charakterisieren. Die Mikrolegierungselemente bildeten dabei einen wesentlichen Faktor zur Begrenzung des Austenitkörner-Wachstums. Das Ausmaß der Austenit-Vergröberung in der WEZ war dabei stark abhängig von der Art und dem Volumenanteil der unterschiedlichen Ausscheidungen infolge der unterschiedlichen Mikrolegierung. Von allen dreiStählen zeigte die WEZ des Ti-legierten Grundwerkstoffes das geringste Kornwachstum als Folge des ausreichenden Umfangs von stabilen Ti-Ausscheidungen. Die Ausbildung von nadeligem Ferrit im Korn wurde dabei durch die Ti-Ausscheidungen unterstützt, da diese als bevorzugte Stellen der Nukleation des Ferrits dienten. Die Zähigkeit der WEZ erhöhte sich dabei infolge der Großwinkelgrenzen der feinen Ferrit-Platten. Aufgrund des kombinierten Effektes von Nb und Mo, welcher sich in der bevorzugten Ausbildung von unterem Bainit äußert, konnte die WEZ-Zähigkeit bei hohen Abkühlraten weiter verbessert werden. Im Fall eines größeren Wärmeeintrags bildete sich jedoch bevorzugt oberer Bainit, welcher wiederum die Zähigkeit reduzierte. Der abschließende experimentelle Teil der Arbeit konzentrierte sich auf das Verständnis der Mechanismen, die in bestimmten Fällen zur Erweichung (oder Softening) der WEZ führen. Dieses Erweichen äußerte sich in den unterschiedlichen Zugeigenschaften der geschweißten Verbindungen der Stähle. Dabei war die Bruchlage entweder in der erweichten WEZ oder im Grundwerkstoff, abhängig von den Schweißparametern sowie der Art des geschweißten Stahls. Im Ti-legierten Stahl führte dabei ein erhöhter Wärmeeintrag zur Vergrößerung der Erweichungszone. Dieses führte zu einer signifikanten Abnahme der Härte und anschließend zum Versagen in dieser erweichten Zone im Zugversuch. Die Veränderung der Bruchlage hin zum Grundwerkstoff wurde durch die Begrenzung des Wärmeintrags erreicht. Dieses Verhalten wurde nicht in den beiden anderen Stählen beobachtet. Dieses Verhalten zeigt, dass bereits kleine Unterschiede im Gehalt der Mikrolegierungselemente der Stähle zu großen Variationen in den Zugeigenschaften führten. Für alle drei Stähle, zeigten die Ti-enthaltenden Schweißverbindungen das am deutlichsten ausgeprägte Softening, gefolgt von den Ti+V-enthaltenden Schweißungen und schließlich den Nb-enthaltenden Schweißverbindungen. Das unterschiedliche Softening konnte dabei auf zwei Prozesse bezogen werden, die auch über zusätzliche Dilatometrie-Experimente gestützt wurden: die Phasenumwandlung und das Anlassverhalten. Im Ti-legiertem Stahl lag nach der Phasenumwandlung großformatiger Ferrit als Konsequenz der ursprünglich großen Austenitkörner vor. Dieses führte zu einer abgesenkten Härte dieses Stahls. Weiterhin resultierte die geringere Anlassbeständigkeit des Ti-legierten Stahls (gegenüber dem Nb-legierten Stahl) zu einem weiteren Softening der erweichten WEZ. Deswegen erwies sich diese Kombination aus Legierungszusammensetzung und Schweißwärmeeintrag als kritisch, gestützt durch die Experimente am gleichen S690QL Stahl. Die vorliegende Arbeit hebt den wesentlichen Einfluss der Mikrolegierungselemente auf die Schweißmikrostrukturen und die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Schweißverbindungen hervor. Die Kenntnis dieser empfindlichen Balance zwischen Legierungskonzept des entsprechenden Stahls und geeigneten Schweißparametern ist als kritisch für das fertige Produkt anzusehen. Dazu stellt diese Arbeit spezifische Empfehlungen und Ergebnisse zur Verfügung, um die korrekte Schweißpraxis zu gewährleisten als auch für die Zusammensetzung mikrolegierter hochfester Stähle. N2 - High-strength steels are favoured materials in the industry for production of safe and sustainable structures. The main technology used for joining the components of such steel is fusion welding. Steel alloy design concepts combined with advanced processing technologies have been extensively investigated during the development of High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) steels. However, very few studies have addressed the issue of how various alloy designs, even with limited microalloy addition, can influence the properties of high-strength steel welds. In high-strength steel welding practices, the challenges regarding microstructure evolution and the resulting mechanical properties variation, are of great interest. The main focus is the debate regarding the role of microalloy elements on phase transformation and weld performance. Limited Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) softening and limited austenite grain coarsening are significant design essentials, but the primary goal is to ensure excellent toughness and tensile properties in the steel weld. To achieve this purpose, microalloy elements such as Ti, Nb, or V were intentionally added to modern high-strength steels. The focus of this work was to understand the mechanical properties of HSLA steels resulting from differences in alloy design after joining by modern welding processes. To begin, three microalloyed S690QL steels (Nb, Ti, and Ti+V addition) were investigated. Optical microscopy confirmed that similar mixtures of tempered bainite and martensite predominated the parent microstructure in the three steels, different types of coarse microalloy precipitates were also visible. These precipitates were analysed by using a thermodynamic-based software and then identified by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Results of mechanical testing revealed that all three steels performed above the standard toughness and tensile strength values, but with varied yielding phenomena. During the welding operation, each of the three steels was joined by using the same filler material. The fused weld metal was influenced by the high dilution of microalloyed elements in the base metal, this was significantly pronounced during the modified spray arc welding technique. As a result, the Nb-containing steel exhibited sufficient amounts of alloy pick-up to transition the microstructure in the weld metal from acicular ferrite to bainite as cooling rate was increased, leading to reduced toughness. This was not observed with the other two steels. A second focus was made on the microstructure Evolution and toughness properties of the coarse and fine grained HAZ as welding parameters changed. In order to characterise the microstructure and austenite grain growth behaviour, physical simulations were conducted. The microalloy precipitates were found to be a dominant factor restricting the austenite grain coarsening. The extent of Austenite coarsening in the HAZ is closely related to the type and volume fraction of each microalloy precipitate. Among the three steels, the Ti-containing HAZ exhibited the smallest extent of grain growth due to the sufficient amount of stable Ti-rich precipitates. Microalloy Addition also markedly influenced the subsequent phase transformation in the HAZ. The formation of intragranular acicular ferrite was promoted by Ti-rich precipitate, acting as favourable nucleation sites of ferrite. This structure enhanced the HAZ toughness owing to fine, high-angle boundaries of ferrite plates. The synergistic effect of Nb and Mo elements was beneficial to improve the HAZ toughness at fast cooling rates by promoting fine lower bainite formation. At high heat input, large upper bainite was formed which caused reduced toughness. The final set of experimental work was concentrated on understanding the HAZ softening mechanisms that influenced variations in the tensile properties of the welded joints. The tensile failure in the softened HAZ or base material depended on the welding parameters and the type of steel being joined. In Ti-containing steel, increased heat Input extended the softened zone width, which caused a significant decrease in hardness and then resulted in failure in this area. Therefore, limited heat Input was used to shift failure position to base material. But this was not observed in the other two steels. Hence, small differences in microalloy addition exhibited large variation in tensile properties. Among the three steels, Ti-containing welds were found to have the most pronounced softening, followed by Ti+V-containing welds and finally Nb-containing welds. This varied softening phenomenon was related to two significant processes supported by the results of additional dilatometry simulation: phase transformation and tempering behaviour. In the Ti-containing steel, the phase Transformation product ferrite was large-sized, as a consequence of initial large austenite grains. This led to the decreased corresponding hardness of the Ti-containing steel. Furthermore, lower tempering resistance in Ti-containing steel as compared to Nb-containing steel, resulted in additional softening effect in the softened HAZ. Therefore, steel alloy identification and heat Input during welding were critical, proven by the experimentation within the same S690QL steel grade. This work emphasised the influence of microalloy elements on weld microstructure and mechanical properties in welded joints. Knowledge of this delicate balance between steel alloy design and appropriate welding parameters is critical for the end product. Thus, this work provides specific recommendations and results to ensure proper welding practice and steel design of microalloyed high-strength steels.

Herein, the synthesis of layered hybrid NiFephenylphosphonate compounds from metal acetylacetonate precursors and phenylphosphonic acid in benzyl alcohol, and their Oxygen evolution reaction performance in alkaline medium, are reported. The hybrid particles are formed by inorganic layers of NiO6 and FeO6 distorted octahedra separated by bilayers of the organic group, and template the Formation in situ of NiFe hydroxide nanosheets of sizes between 5 and 25 nm and thicknesses between 3 and 10 nm. X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest that the hybrid also acts as a template for the local structure of the metal sites in the active catalyst, which remain distorted after the transformation. Optimum electrocatalytic activity is achieved with the hybrid compound with a Fe content of 16%. The combination of the synergistic effect between Ni and Fe with the structural properties of the hybrid results in an efficient catalyst that generates a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at an overpotential of 240 mV, and also in a stable catalyst that operates continuously at low overpotentials for 160 h.

Hydrogen has the potential for application in clean fuel technologies. Therefore, the separation and purification of hydrogen is an important research subject. CO2 capture and storage have important roles in 'green chemistry'. As an effective clean technology, gas separation using inorganic membranes has attracted much attention in the last several decades. Membrane processes have many applications in the field of gas separation. Cement is one type of inorganic material, with the advantages of a lower cost and a longer lifespan. An experimental setup has been created and improved to measure twenty different cement membranes. The purpose of this work was to investigate the influence of gas molecule properties on the material transport and to explore the influence of operating conditions and membrane composition on separation efficiency. The influences of the above parameters are determined, the best conditions and membrane type are found, it is shown that cementitious material has the ability to separate gas mixtures, and the gas transport mechanism is studied.

T1 - Multicomponent gas diffusion in hardened cement paste at temperatures up to 350 °C N2 - Diffusional gas transport of a H2/CO2 mixture versus N2 in the pore system of hardened cement pastes was studied at four temperatures up to 350 °C in a Wicke-Kallenbach cell. The pastes possessed separation factors αH2,CO2 from 1.42 to 3.43, i.e. the diffusion of hydrogen took place considerably faster than the diffusion of carbon dioxide. The separation factors depended on the threshold radii of the pastes, smaller threshold radii leading to higher separation factors. The Knudsen numbers of the controlling constrictions of the pore system and the temperature dependence of the effective diffusion coefficients of the gases show that gas transport in these constrictions takes place in the transient regime between Knudsen diffusion and bulk diffusion, smaller constriction widths leading to predominating Knudsen diffusion. It is therefore possible to use cement paste membranes to separate gas components of low molecular weight from higher weight components.

T1 - Grain boundary energy effect on grain boundary segregation in an equiatomic high-entropy alloy N2 - Grain boundary (GB) Segregation has a substantial effect on the microstructure evolution and properties of polycrystalline alloys. The mechanism of nanoscale segregation at the various GBs in multicomponent alloys is of great challenge to reveal and remains elusive so far. To address this issue, we studied the GB segregation in a representative equiatomic FeMnNiCoCr high-entropy alloy (HEA) aged at 450 °C. By combining transmission Kikuchi diffraction, atom probe tomography analysis and a density-based thermodynamics modeling, we uncover the nanoscale segregation behavior at a series of well-characterized GBs of different characters. No segregation occurs at coherent twin boundaries; only slight nanoscale segregation of Ni takes place at the low-angle GBs and vicinal \Sigma 29b coincidence site lattice GBs. Ni and Mn show cosegregation of high levels at the general high-angle GBs with a strong depletion in Fe, Cr, and Co. Our density-based thermodynamic model reveals that the highly negative energy of mixing Ni and Mn is the main driving force for nanoscale cosegregation to the GBs. This is further assisted by the opposite segregation of Ni and Cr atoms with a positive enthalpy of mixing. It is also found that GBs of higher interfacial energy, possessing lower atomic densities (higher disorder and free volume), show higher segregation levels. By clarifying the origins of GB segregations in the FeMnNiCoCr HEA, the current work provides fundamental ideas on nanoscale segregation at crystal defects in multicomponent alloys.

T1 - Thickness measurement of nm HfO2 films N2 - A pilot study for the thickness measurement of HfO2 films was performed by the Surface Analysis Working Group (SAWG) of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM). The aim of this pilot study was to ensure the equivalency in the measurement capability of national metrology institutes for the thickness measurement of HfO2 films. In this pilot study, the thicknesses of six HfO2 films with nominal thickness from 1 nm to 4 nm were measured by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Reflectometry(XRR), X-ray Fluorescence Analysis (XRF), Transmission Electron Spectroscopy (TEM), Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS). The reference thicknesses were determined by mutual calibration of a zero-offset method (Medium Energy Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (MEIS) of KRISS) and a method traceable to the length unit (the average thicknesses of three XRR data except the thinnest film). These reference thicknesses are traceable to the length unit because they are based on the traceability of XRR. For the thickness measurement by XPS, the effective attenuation length of Hf 4f electrons was determined. In the cases of XRR and TEM, the offset values were determined from a linear fitting between the reference thicknesses and the individual data by XRR and TEM. The amount of substance of HfO2, expressed as thickness of HfO2 films (in both linear and areal density units), was found to be a good subject for a CCQM key comparison.

T1 - Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards interlaboratory study on intensity calibration for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instruments using low-density polyethylene N2 - We report the results of a Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards interlaboratory study on the intensity scale calibration of x-ray photoelectron spectrometers using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as an alternative material to gold, silver, and copper. An improved set of LDPE reference spectra, corrected for different instrument geometries using a quartz-monochromated Al Kα x-ray source, was developed using data provided by participants in this study. Using these new reference spectra, a transmission function was calculated for each dataset that participants provided. When compared to a similar calibration procedure using the NPL reference spectra for gold, the LDPE intensity calibration method achieves an absolute offset of ∼3.0% and a systematic deviation of ±6.5% on average across all participants. For spectra recorded at high pass energies (≥90 eV), values of absolute offset and systematic deviation are ∼5.8% and ±5.7%, respectively, whereas for spectra collected at lower pass energies (<90 eV), values of absolute offset and systematic deviation are ∼4.9% and ±8.8%, respectively; low pass energy spectra perform worse than the global average, in terms of systematic deviations, due to diminished count rates and signal-to-noise ratio. Differences in absolute offset are attributed to the surface roughness of the LDPE induced by sample preparation. We further assess the usability of LDPE as a secondary reference material and comment on its performance in the presence of issues such as variable dark noise, x-ray warm up times, inaccuracy at low count rates, and underlying spectrometer problems. In response to participant feedback and the results of the study, we provide an updated LDPE intensity calibration protocol to address the issues highlighted in the interlaboratory study. We also comment on the lack of implementation of a consistent and traceable intensity calibration method across the community of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) users and, therefore, propose a route to achieving this with the assistance of instrument manufacturers, metrology laboratories, and experts leading to an international standard for XPS intensity scale calibration.

T1 - Mussel-inspired multifunctional coating for bacterial infection prevention and osteogenic induction N2 - Bacterial infection and osteogenic integration are the two main problems that cause severe complications after surgeries. In this study, the antibacterial and osteogenic properties were simultaneously introduced in biomaterials, where copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were generated by in situ reductions of Cu ions into a mussel-inspired hyperbranched polyglycerol (MI-hPG) coating via a simple dip-coating method. This hyperbranched polyglycerol with 10 % catechol groups’ modification presents excellent antifouling property, which could effectively reduce bacteria adhesion on the surface. In this work, polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun fiber membrane was selected as the substrate, which is commonly used in biomedical implants in bone regeneration and cardiovascular stents because of its good biocompatibility and easy post-modification. The as-fabricated CuNPs-incorporated PCL membrane [PCL-(MI-hPG)-CuNPs] was confirmed with effective antibacterial performance via in vitro antibacterial tests against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and multi-resistant E. coli. In addition, the in vitro results demonstrated that osteogenic property of PCL-(MI-hPG)-CuNPs was realized by upregulating the osteoblast-related gene expressions and protein activity. This study shows that antibacterial and osteogenic properties can be balanced in a surface coating by introducing CuNPs.

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, this study reveals the role of water and oligomer diffusion during the degradation of PLGA and highlights the importance of water channels formed as the overall water content increases. We found that these continuous water channels play a crucial role in accelerating the transport of water and the release of degradation products from the polymer matrix, as the diffusion coefficients of water and small oligomers exhibit significant differences spanning 2 to 3 orders of magnitude between the water and polymer phases. Water follows a different diffusion mechanism than polymer fragments. The diffusion rate of the fragments up to a size of octamers was found to be size-dependent and reasonably well approximated by a 1/N behavior, in line with the Rouse model.

A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Hübner, Wolfgang T1 - Sliding performance of polymer composites in liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen N2 - Outstanding features favour the application of polymers and polymer composites in low-temperature technology. The booming hydrogen technology is a challenge for these materials, which are considered as seals and bearings in cryogenic pumps. In the present study, three types of thermoplastics, i.e., polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyetherimide (PEI) and polyamide 6,6 (PA6,6), and one epoxy were considered as matrix materials. Micron-sized fillers, i.e., short carbon fibres, graphite flakes, and PTFE powders, were incorporated into these polymers together with nano-sized TiO2 particles. Optimised compositions of each matrix were selected from our previous works at room temperature in order to be studied at very low temperature conditions. In particular, frictional tests were carried out with polymer composite pins against polished steel surfaces under constant load over a certain distance in liquid hydrogen and liquid nitrogen. Afterwards, worn surfaces were analysed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found out that the tribological properties in liquid hydrogen are dominated by the matrix materials, in particular thermoplastics perform generally slightly better than thermosetting resins.

T1 - Guidance document - Use of explicit finite element analysis for the evaluation of radioactive material transport packages and storge casks in energy-limited impact events N2 - The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for developing quality finite element models to ensure, with reasonable certainty, that the model produces accurate results for comparison with the strain-based or stress-based acceptance criteria of Section III, Division 3 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, but could be applicable to other Sections of the Code or other codes. Models developed following the guidance provided in this document meet the definition of a "Quality Model," as described in Paragraph EE 1240 of the Nonmandatory Appendix EE (Strain-Based Acceptance Criteria Definitions and Background Information). It cannot be emphasized enough, however, that the guidance supplied here does not constitute requirements. Rather, the intent of the guidance is to give practical direction to analysts (i.e., this is not a set of regulatory requirements). This guidance document is an "evolving" document. It will undergo revision as computing capability and FEA techniques progress, and as example problems are developed.

T1 - Fundamental studies of new ionization technologies and insights from IMS-MS N2 - Exceptional ion mobility spectrometry mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) developments by von Helden, Jarrold, and Clemmer provided technology that gives a view of chemical/biological compositions previously not achievable. The ionization method of choice used with IMS-MS has been electrospray ionization (ESI). In this Special issue contribution, we focus on fundamentals of heretofore unprecedented means for transferring volatile and nonvolatile compounds into gas-phase ions singly and multiply charged. These newer ionization processes frequently lead to different selectivity relative to ESI and, together with IMS-MS, may provide a more comprehensive view of chemical compositions directly from their original Environment such as surfaces, e.g., tissue. Similarities of results using solvent- and matrix-assisted ionization are highlighted, as are differences between ESI and the inlet ionization methods, especially with mixtures such as bacterial extracts. Selectivity using different matrices is discussed, as are results which add to our fundamental knowledge of inlet ionization as well as pose additional avenues for inquiry. IMS-MS provides an opportunity for comparison studies relative to ESI and will prove valuable using the new ionization technologies for direct analyses. Our hypothesis is that some ESI-IMS-MS applications will be replaced by the new ionization processes and by understanding mechanistic aspects to aid enhanced source and method developments this will be hastened.
