The analysis of Raman spectra, using the concentration step of 2 mol% B2O3 within the range of 0-12 mol% B2O3, showed that the evolution of changes in the type of oxygen bridges can be observed from the Raman bands within the range of 600-800 cm-1. 11B MQMAS NMR spectra of glasses with x=15, 20 and 25 mol% B2O3 revealed the presence of two BO4 sites in these glasses. The first site B1O4, characterised by the chemical shift of d=-3·8 — (-3·4) ppm, was assigned to tetrahedral B(OP)4 structural units. Within the concentration range x=15-25 mol% B2O3, the site B1O4 is gradually replaced by the site B2O4 with the chemical shift of d=-1·8 — (-1·1) ppm. This second site was assigned to the presence of B(OP)3(OB) units in which the central boron atom is linked to three PO4 groups and one BO3 group.

The influence of phosphorus compounds on the polyamide decomposition pathways was characterized using thermal analysis (TG), evolved gas analysis (TG–FTIR), and FTIR–ATR analysis of the residue. The Lewis acid–base interactions between the flame retardants, the amide unit, and the metal ions control the decomposition. The flammability (LOI, UL 94) and performance under forced-flaming conditions (cone calorimeter using different irradiations) were investigated. Fire residues were analysed with FTIR–ATR, SEM–EDX, and NMR. Aluminium phosphinate in polyamide 6,6 acts mainly by flame inhibition. Melamine polyphosphate shows some fuel dilution and a significant barrier effect. Using a combination of aluminium phosphinate and melamine polyphosphate results in some charring and a dominant barrier effect. These effects are improved in the presence of zinc borate due to the formation of boron–aluminium phosphates instead of aluminium phosphates.

Hydrolysis of aluminum-sec-butoxide in aluminum nitrate solutions allowed to prepare stable sols with varying NO3-/Al molar ratios, solids contents and pH values. Resulting sols contained different aluminum species including also Al13 polycations. Sol preparation conditions also determined aluminum speciation in solid products obtained after thermal treatments of gels obtained from these sols. Al13 polycations and AlO5 species were found to play an important role for thermally induced transformation from amorphous products via eta-Al2O3 to alpha-Al2O3. Intermediately formed eta-Al2O3 promotes the phase transformation to alpha-Al2O3.

The properties of the Si-HA coatings with several degrees of Si substitution were analyzed by different techniques such as FTIR, XRD, XPS and solid-state NMR. It was found that the Si incorporation causes an amorphization of the structure together with a loss of carbonate groups.

The selectivity of this reaction and the yield in primary amino groups was found to be low. Here, a prominent side-reactions of this process was investigated, the hydrogenation by NH3 plasma. For identification of hydrogenation ammonia (NH3) and deuterated ammonia (ND3) were exposed to Polyethylene (h-PE) and fully deuterated polyethylene (d-PE) as well as hexatriacontane (h-HTC) and fully deuterated hexatriacontane (d-HTC) as low-molecular weight model for PE. H–D exchange was assumed and detected by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF–SIMS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR-FTIR) and 1H and 2H Nuclear magnetic Resonance. Results show a significant H–D exchange within the sampling depth of ATR (2.5 µm). However, N- and NH2 introduction was limited to the topmost surface as shown by SIMS and XPS (a few nanometers).

T1 - Effect of disordered structure of boron-containing calcium phosphates on their in vitro biodegradability N2 - This study proposes a new guideline for designing biodegradable apatite ceramics. Boron-containing hydroxyapatite (BHAp) particles were prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction processing method and were characterized in terms of their chemical composition, apatite lattice defects and in vitro biodegradability. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance analysis showed that boron-incorporation into hydroxyapatite (HAp) derived by thermo-chemical reactions between borate and calcium phosphate phases led to disordered phases (BCaP) of a CaO–P2O5–B2O3–OH system covering the crystalline HAp core. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the BCaP phase must consist mainly of a crystalline oxyboroapatite (OBAp) phase. An in vitro biodegradability test showed that BHAp degraded quicker than HAp or ß-tricalcium phosphate. The biodegradability of BHAp particles can be controlled by boron incorporation into a HAp lattice leading to the formation of a disordered OBAp phase.

These are the first three representatives isolated without the incorporation of external donor molecules. Compound 1 Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2] contains a tetranuclear unit consisting of two different five fold coordinated AlFO4-units, with F exclusively in the terminal position. Compound 2, Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2]·Al5F5(µ5-O)(µ-O'Pr)8, contains both a tetranuclear unit (as in 1) and a pentanuclear Al-unit. Al-atoms in the latter are five- and six fold coordinated. Compound 3, Al16F20(µ4-O)4(µ-O'Pr)20·2('PrOH), exhibits a slightly higher fluorination degree and contains an oligomeric chain of four F-linked tetranuclear Al-units. In addition to X-ray structure analysis, compound 1 was characterized by different solid state MAS NMR techniques, including 27Al triple quantum MAS NMR and 1H, 1H→13C CP, 19F and 27Al MAS NMR. On the basis of the collected data, a reliable decomposition of 27Al single pulse MAS NMR spectra and an unambiguous assignment of the resonances to the respective structural AlFO4-units are given.

T1 - An isoreticular family of microporous metal-organic frameworks based on zinc and 2-substituted imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate: syntheses, structures and properties N2 - We report on a new series of isoreticular frameworks based on zinc and 2-substituted imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate (IFP-1–4, IFP=imidazolate framework Potsdam) that form one-dimensional, microporous hexagonal channels. Varying R in the 2-substitued linker (R=Me (IFP-1), Cl (IFP-2), Br (IFP-3), Et (IFP-4)) allowed the channel diameter (4.0–1.7 Å), the polarisability and functionality of the channel walls to be tuned. Frameworks IFP-2, IFP-3 and IFP-4 are isostructural to previously reported IFP-1. The structures of IFP-2 and IFP-3 were solved by X-ray crystallographic analyses. The structure of IFP-4 was determined by a combination of PXRD and structure modelling and was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and 1H MAS and 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. All IFPs showed high thermal stability (345–400°C); IFP-1 and IFP-4 were stable in boiling water for 7 d. A detailed porosity analysis was performed on the basis of adsorption measurements by using various gases. The potential of the materials to undergo specific interactions with CO2 was investigated by measuring the isosteric heats of adsorption. The capacity to adsorb CH4 (at 298 K), CO2 (at 298 K) and H2 (at 77 K) at high pressure were also investigated. In situ IR spectroscopy showed that CO2 is physisorbed on IFP-1–4 under dry conditions and that both CO2 and H2O are physisorbed on IFP-1 under moist conditions.

T1 - Heterogeneous structure and in vitro degradation behavior of wet-chemically derived nanocrystalline silicon-containing hydroxyapatite particles N2 - Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) and silicon-containing hydroxyapatite (SiHAp) particles were synthesized by a wet-chemical procedure and their heterogeneous structures involving a disordered phase were analyzed in detail by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The effects of heterogeneous structure on in vitro biodegradability and the biologically active Ca(II)- and Si(IV)-releasing property of SiHAp particles were discussed. The 29Si NMR analysis revealed that the Si(IV) was incorporated in the HAp lattice in the form of Q0 (SiO4-4 or HSiO3-4) species, accompanied by the formation of condensed silicate units outside the HAp lattice structure, where the fraction and amount of Q0 species in the HAp lattice depends on the Si content. The 31P and 1H NMR results agreed well with the XRD, TEM and FTIR results. NMR quantitative analysis results were explained by using a core–shell model assuming a simplified hexagonal shape of HAp covered with a disordered layer, where Si(IV) in Q0 was incorporated in the HAp lattice and a disordered phase consisted of hydrated calcium phosphates involving polymeric silicate species and carbonate anions. With the increase in the Si content in the HAp lattice, the in vitro degradation rate of the SiHAps increased, while their crystallite size stayed nearly unchanged. The biologically active Ca(II)- and Si(IV)-releasing ability of the SiHAps was remarkably enhanced at the initial stage of reactions by an increase in the amount of Si(IV) incorporated in the HAp lattice but also by an increase of the amount of polymeric silicate species incorporated in the disordered phase.

Water glass was cast onto these 0.5 µm plasma thick siloxane-like layers with a thickness of 5 to 40 µm. The adhesion of these bilayer systems and their flame resistance were tested. The effect of different plasma parameters such as monomer/gas ratio, pressure and power input into the discharge on the deposition rate and the composition of the formed layers was studied. Characterization and chemical composition of the formed films were performed using infrared, X-ray photoelectron and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Peel strengths of composites were measured and the locus of peel front propagation was detected. Thermal properties of composites were analyzed by thermo-gravimetric analysis. Finally, the fire-retardant properties of thick coated polymers were determined by exposure to flames and the behavior of coatings on the polymers during flaming was observed visually.

T1 - Chemical and morphological changes in hydrochars derived from microcrystalline cellulose and investigated by chromatographic, spectroscopic and adsorption techniques N2 - Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) can be used for converting the biomass into a carbon-rich material, whose application as a fuel requires higher heating value, whereas soil amendment needs stable carbon. This work was focused on the characterization of hydrochars derived from microcrystalline cellulose. The chars were investigated using elemental analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller technique, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Severity in temperature between 230 and 270 °C with reaction times between 2 and 10 h only affect the carbon content moderately. The results show that aromatization of HTC chars correlates well with temperature, which was further supported by the increase of organic radicals with decreasing g values at higher temperatures. Based on these results, the energetic use of chars favors mild HTC (T < 230 °C and t ≤ 6 h), while the soil amendement favors serve conditions (T ≥ 230 °C, and t > 6 h).

T1 - Evaluation of pozzolanic reactivity of calcined kaolinite N2 - The need to improve the sustainability and the need for innovation in the cement industry has brought to light the practice of using additives to the cement in order to decrease CO2 emissions in industrial plants and increase the quality of cement in terms of durability and performance. Currently some additives have been employed as granulated blast furnace slag, limestone and pozzolan. The additives give mortar and concrete larger energy efficiency, gain in durability and resistance, contributing to buildings with slender structures and cheaper and durable maintenance. Besides natural pozzolan can be used artificial ones, as calcined clays, and over a range of amorphous aluminates and silicates waste, with highly reactive function as a binder material in the presence of water and calcium hydroxide. Calcined kaolinite clays were characterized using various techniques such as XRD, thermal analysis, and NMR observing 27Al and 29Si nuclei. The results showed that there is a structural modification of the samples, from crystalline to amorphous phases with the increasing of temperature in the calcination process. There is an improving in the reactivity of calcined clays by the range of 600ºC to 750ºC temperature in the reaction with calcium oxide, according to data from Chapelle test, indicating the possibility of using them as additives for cement and confirming their pozzolanic potential.

The aim of this test study is to show that different Q4(mAl) sites (m=4,3,2,1) can be distinguished by differently strong TRAPDOR effects (ΔS/S0). Indeed, it was found that the TRAPDOR effect depends on the number m of AlO4 units connected to the Q4 silicon tetrahedrons. For Na-X, the measured ΔS/S0 values are 1:0.81:0.56 for Q4(4Al), Q4(3Al) and Q4(2Al), respectively (normalized to Q4(4Al)). The corresponding ΔS/S0 values are the same for Na-Y within the error bars, although the silicon sites are different: Q4(3Al), Q4(2Al) and Q4(1Al) and now normalized to Q4(3Al) as no Q4(4Al) is present. Nevertheless, the proposed method opens up the possibility to distinguish overlapping 29Si NMR signals of the Qn(mAl) sites in amorphous materials as the main goal of these investigations.

Currently some additives have been employed as granulated blast furnace slag, limestone and pozzolan. The additives give mortar and concrete larger energy efficiency, gain in durability and resistance, contributing to buildings with slender structures and cheaper and durable maintenance. Besides natural pozzolan can be used artificial ones, as calcined clays, and over a range of amorphous aluminates and silicates waste, with highly reactive function as a binder material in the presence of water and calcium hydroxide. Calcined kaolinite clays were characterized using various techniques such as XRD, thermal analysis, and NMR observing 27Al and 29Si nuclei. The results showed that there is a structural modification of the samples, from crystalline to amorphous phases with the increasing of temperature in the calcination process. There is an improving in the reactivity of calcined clays by the range of 600ºC to 750ºC temperature in the reaction with calcium oxide, according to data from Chapelle test, indicating the possibility of using them as additives for cement and confirming their pozzolanic potential.

Among the variety of approaches, the use of synergy in halogen-free multicomponent systems is one of the most auspicious. To optimize the composition of such flame-retardant systems it is essential to understand the mechanisms and the corresponding chemistry in the condensed phase. In this work different methods are used, including cone calorimeter, thermogravimetry (TG), and TG-FTIR, with the main focus on the solid-state NMR analysis of the solid residues. The structural changes in the condensed phase of two thermoplastic elastomer systems based on copolymer styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (TPE-S) were investigated: TPE-S/aluminium diethylphosphinate (AlPi)/magnesium hydroxide (MH) and TPE-S/AlPi/zinc borate (ZB)/poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO). Strong flame inhibition is synergistically combined with protective layer formation. 13C-, 27Al-, 11B- and 31P MAS NMR (magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance) experiments using direct excitation with a single pulse and 1H–31P cross-polarization (CP) were carried out as well as double resonance techniques. Magnesium phosphates were formed during the pyrolysis of TPE-S/AlPi/MH, while for the system TPE-S/AlPi/ZB/PPO zinc phosphates and borophosphates were observed. Thus, the chemistry behind the chemical interaction was characterized unambiguously for the investigated systems.

This stannosilicate is built up of a three-dimensional network of corner-shared SiO4 tetrahedra and SnO6 octahedra. The SnO6 sites are linked to six SiO4 tetrahedra (Sn(6Si)) while each of the two crystallographically different SiO4 units are connected to two SnO6 and SiO4 units (Si(2Si,2Sn)). This material was used as model compound for developing a solid-state MAS NMR strategy aimed on the challenges and possibilities for structural studies, particularly considering the short and medium range order to verify the connectivity of SiO4 and SnO6 of such compounds despite the low natural abundances of 4.68% for 29Si and 8.59% for 119Sn nuclei as a real challenge. 29Si{119Sn} and 119Sn{29Si} REDOR (Rotational-Echo Double-Resonance) NMR measurements after 1H cross-polarization (CP) were carried out. The REDOR curves show a significant change after the “normal” quadratic short time evolution from which both (i) the shortest internuclear 29Si – 119Sn distances (and vice versa) and (ii) the number of corner-sharing SiO4 tetrahedra around the SnO6 octahedra (and vice versa) can be obtained. Based on these data, optimized 29Si {119Sn} and 119Sn{29Si} REPT-HMQC (Recoupled Polarization Transfer-Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation, again after 1H CP) experiments were implemented, which directly show those heterogroup connectivity as correlation peaks in a 2D spectrum. This information was also obtained using 2D29Si{119Sn}-J-Coupling NMR experiments. Furthermore, 2D29Si INADEQUATE NMR experiments are also feasible, showing the connectivity of SiO4 tetrahedra. The combination of REDOR, REPT-HMQC, J-Coupling and INADEQUATE experiments yielded a complete analysis of the short and medium range structure of this microporous stannosilicate, in agreement with the previously published structure obtained Ab Initio from powder X-Ray diffraction data (XRD).

The pyrolysis, the fire behaviour as well as the chemical interactions in the gas and condensed phases were investigated by various methods. Flammability was investigated by cone calorimeter and oxygen index (OI). The thermal and thermo-oxidative decomposition were studied by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with FTIR spectrometer. The special focus was on the Investigation of structural changes in the condensed phase via solid-state NMR of 27Al and 31P nuclei. By the comparison of epoxy resin with only one additive or with S600 in combination with AlPi, AlO(OH) or MPP, it was possible to calculate the synergy index. The best performance in terms of fire behaviour was observed for EP/S600/MPP with a PHRR (Peak heat release rate) of 208 kW m-2 due to slight synergy. In the case of THE (total heat evolved), clear synergy occurred for EP/S600/AlPi and EP/S600/AlO(OH). By solid-state NMR, different phosphates and aluminates were identified, indicating the chemical interactions between S600 and AlPi, AlO(OH) or MPP.

TPE-S/APP/Si/PPO performed better in the conecalorimeter test (reduction in peak heat release rate from 2042 to 475 kW m−2), but TPE-S/AlPi/Si/PPO inthe flammability tests (oxygen index (OI) and UL 94). This difference was caused by the different modes ofaction of APP (more in the condensed phase) and AlPi (mainly in the gas phase). Thermogravimetry cou-pled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) was used to analyse the mass loss and theevolved gas products, while a Linkam hot-stage cell to investigate the decomposition in the condensedphase.

The influences of oxygen, nitrogen and temperature are discussed. For a thermal decomposition and pyrolysis during combustion, the main pyrolysis of HIPS takes place while the remaining residue is a rather intact polymer, with a major share of the embedded Pr still present. Subsequently, mainly amorphous phosphates and a slight amount of crystalline Mg3(PO4)2 and Mg2P2O7 are formed at the highest temperatures. Only with increasing mass loss does the remaining polystyrene structure decompose and graphitic structures occur. The influence of oxygen on the decomposition mechanism is most obvious for the binary system Mg(OH)2/Pr. Pr vanishes more rapidly and crystalline, oxygen-rich magnesium phosphates are formed. In HIPS/Mg(OH)2/Pr systems the polymer acts as a barrier to reaction by the embedded particles, so that major characteristics of an anaerobic decomposition are found. Significant amounts of phosphorus are retained in the condensed phase through a reaction of Pr with Mg(OH)2 to mostly amorphous phosphates. This formation of amorphous inorganic magnesium phosphates can act as an additional physical barrier. This study outlines some advanced approaches for controlling the condensed-phase mechanisms of phosphorus and underlines that solid-state NMR is a most powerful tool for investigating the organic and inorganic residues.

T1 - Structure-property relationships of a biological mesocrystal in the adult sea urchin spine N2 - Structuring over many length scales is a design strategy widely used in Nature to create materials with unique functional properties. We here present a comprehensive analysis of an adult sea urchin spine, and in revealing a complex, hierarchical structure, show how Nature fabricates a material which diffracts as a single crystal of calcite and yet fractures as a glassy material. Each spine comprises a highly oriented array of Mg-calcite nanocrystals in which amorphous regions and macromolecules are embedded. It is postulated that this mesocrystalline structure forms via the crystallization of a dense array of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) precursor particles. A residual surface layer of ACC and/or macromolecules remains around the nanoparticle units which creates the mesocrystal structure and contributes to the conchoidal fracture behavior. Nature’s demonstration of how crystallization of an amorphous precursor phase can create a crystalline material with remarkable properties therefore provides inspiration for a novel approach to the design and synthesis of synthetic composite materials.

Untersuchungen mittels 29Si-MAS-NMR und 1H-29Si-Kreuzpolarisations(CP)-MAS-NMR sowie REM-Aufnahmen von erhärteten und dem Schwefelsäureangriff ausgesetzten AAB zeigen, dass der hohe Säurewiderstand v. a. auf die Fällung von Silicagel an der Grenzfläche Mörtel/Säure zurückzuführen ist, wodurch der Korrosionsfortschritt in darunterliegenden Schichten verlangsamt wird.

T1 - One-part geopolymers and aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites: factors influencing microstructure and engineering properties N2 - Mixing and curing of geopolymers and related alkali-activated materials without storage and handling of highly alkaline solutions possesses advantages regarding safety and economic viability. One possible approach is to produce these materials from solid silica feedstocks and solid sodium aluminate, and subsequent mixing with water. We present a comparison between geopolymers and aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites synthesized by this route from different silica feedstocks (by-product silica from chlorosilane production, microsilica, rice husk ash) and with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios, using results from XRD, NMR, SEM, thermal analysis, mechanical and acid resistance testing. The use of rice husk ash favors formation of a fully amorphous geopolymer with high strength. Utilization of the other silica feedstocks leads to formation of aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites, the amount and kind of zeolites depending on the feedstock and the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. These composites show beneficial dehydration behavior, viz. no distinct dehydration step of thermal strain, with the phase assemblage after heating to 1000°C controlled by the starting composition. Mortars produced from both, the geopolymers as well as the composites, exhibit high resistance to sulfuric acid attack, making them promising materials for the construction and the repair of industrial and sewer structures.

Corresponding pastes were characterized by XRD, SEM, chemical analysis, 29Si MAS NMR and 1H-29Si CPMAS NMR after water storage and after acid exposure. The mortars exhibited a high resistance against sulfuric acid attack, with the best ones conforming to the requirements of DIN 19573:2016-03. The analytical results showed that this was due to precipitation of silica gel at the acid-mortar interface, which formed a mechanically stable layer that protected the subjacent mortar and thus inhibited further degradation. The addition of GGBFS decreased the acid resistance via formation of expansive calcium sulfate phases.

The effect of thermal treatment was studied up to 1000 °C and for the investigation of the chemical durability specific samples were treated with sulfuric acid (H2SO4, pH = 1). Depending on the silica feedstock, different degrees of reaction were observed. One of the silicas had a significantly higher reactivity. For two of the silicas, significant amounts of zeolites occurred as reaction products besides geopolymeric gel, whereas the more reactive silica source lead to the formation of a rather fully condensed geopolymeric network. The composites indicated promising behavior on heating in so far as no distinct shrinkage step occurred in the temperature range of dehydration. Up to 400 °C the residual strength of those mixes increased. Above 800 °C the samples underwent new phase formation. After exposure to sulfuric acid (pH 1; 70 d) specimens showed a residual compressive strength of about 77 % of the reference, indicating high acid resistance.

T1 - Degree of reaction and phase content of silica-based one-part geopolymers investigated using chemical and NMR spectroscopic methods N2 - One-part geopolymers were synthesized from two different silica materials (a silica-rich residue from chlorosilane production and a commercial microsilica) and sodium aluminate at three different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios and a nominal water/solids ratio of 0.5. The degree of reaction of the silica in the cured geopolymers (i.e. the fraction of silica dissolved to form aluminosilicates and minor products) was determined using two different methods: chemical attack with HCl to dissolve the reaction products and evaluation of peak areas of 29Si MAS NMR spectra. It was found that the degree of reaction of the silica decreases with increasing the silica content of the starting mix, and that it is almost constant after 1 day of curing and almost independent from the kind of starting silica. From the results of the NMR-based method, the mean SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of the reaction products (aluminosilicates and minor products) can be estimated to be ca. 2.0, nearly independent of the starting composition of the geopolymers. The dissolution method is biased, but of sufficient precision to be useful for following changes of the degree of reaction. Major crystalline phases in the cured geopolymers are zeolite A and/or hydrosodalite. Depending on the starting composition, the relative amounts of these zeolites vary; additionally, sodalite (only for the residue from chlorosilane production with >1 wt% Cl-), faujasite, and zeolite EMT can appear in the geopolymers. The 29Si and 27Al MAS NMR results indicate mainly Si(4Al) and Al(4Si) sites, in line with the presence of zeolite A, hydrosodalite, sodalite, and geopolymeric gel of comparatively low SiO2/Al2O3 ratio.

Various water species could be distinguished using 1H MAS and 1H-29Si CP MAS NMR, applying rotorsynchronized echo experiments. The largest fraction of the pore water resides in the α-cages of the zeolite Na-A and in the geopolymeric gel; in addition, water exists in the β-cages of the zeolites and adsorbed at sodium ions. The water species in α-cages and in the pores of the geopolymeric gel exhibit slightly different chemical shifts of 4.7 ppm and 4.9 ppm, respectively, in the 1H MAS NMR spectra. Changes of the water content in the geopolymer pores of differently dried samples were observed and led to slightly varied chemical shifts in the 29Si MAS NMR spectra too. Measurements after more than 500 days revealed no significant aging effects of the composites, which confirm their chemical stability.

T1 - 27Al-1H and 27Al-29Si Double resonance NMR of one-part geopolymers N2 - The production and processing of ordinary Portland cement are responsible for nearly 5% of the world C02 emissions. Due to the world’s increasing requirement for building materials, this air pollution is growing up in the next decades. Alternative cement such as geopolymers can reduce these emissions effectively, Conventional geopolymer binders, produced ffom fly ash or metakaolin as aluminosilicate source and water-glass or alkali hydroxide Solutions as activator, are often used and studied. It is known that under appropriate conditions the starting materials form a three-dimensional aluminosilicate structure and create a gel-like matrix, In our case, a silica source from wastewater treatment of chlorosilane production and solid sodium aluminate as starting materials are initiated to harden by water. This procedure is known as “just add water” or “one-part” geopolymer formulation. These composites have significant advantages for use on construction site, but their Chemical structure is not extensively analyzed. In this work, a well known one-part geopolymer is investigated by 'H and 27A1 magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, it is shown that overlapping NMR lines can resolved with echo experiments and T2 - NTCC2014 - International conference on non-traditional cement and concrete CY - Brno, Czech Republic DA - 16.06.2014 KW - Geopolymers KW - One-part formulation KW - Zeolite Na-A KW - NMR KW - REDOR PY - 2014 SN - 978-80-214-4867-4 SP - 91 EP - 94 PB - Novpress AN - OPUS4-31224 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - GEN A1 - Greiser, Sebastian A1 - Gluth, Gregor A1 - Sturm, Patrick A1 - Jäger, Christian T1 - Correction: 29Si{27Al}, 27Al{29Si} and 27Al{1H} double-resonance NMR spectroscopy study of cementitious sodium aluminosilicate gels (geopolymers) and gel–zeolite composites N2 - Correction for ‘29Si{27Al}, 27Al{29Si} and 27Al{1H} double-resonance NMR spectroscopy study of cementitious sodium aluminosilicate gels (geopolymers) and gel–zeolite composites’ by Sebastian Greiser et al., RSC Adv., 2018, 8, 40164–40171, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8RA09246J.

T1 - Quantification of acidic sites of nanoscopic hydroxylated magnesium fluorides by FTIR and 15N MAS NMR spectroscopy N2 - Lewis and Brønsted sites were quantified in a series of weak acidic hydroxylated magnesium fluorides by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) with pyridine as probe molecule. Molar extinction coefficients, which are necessary for quantitative FTIR measurements, were calculated by an easy approach. It utilizes the fact that both signals, used for the quantification by FTIR, are caused by the same deformation vibration mode of pyridine. Comparison of quantitative FTIR experiments and quantification by NMR shows that concentrations of acidic sites determined by FTIR spectroscopy have to be interpreted with caution. Furthermore, it is shown that the transfer of molar extinction coefficients from one catalyst to another may lead to wrong results. Molar extinction coefficients and concentrations of acidic sites determined by FTIR spectroscopy are affected by grinding and probably the particle size of the sample. High temperature during FTIR experiments has further impact on the quantification results.

T1 - Comparison of acidic site quantification methods for a series of nanoscopic aluminium hydroxide fluorides N2 - Quantitative determination of acidic surface sites is highly important for the characterization of solid acids because the activity of a catalyst is often related to the concentration of these sites. A recently developed method using 15N Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) for the quantification of acidic Lewis and Brønsted sites has been tested for a series of nanoscopic aluminum hydroxide fluorides. Comparison with other methods for the quantitative determination of acidic sites shows that this 15N NMR quantification method is a promising technique for the comprehensive investigation of acidic sites. Three different acidic sites, one Brønsted and two Lewis sites, can be distinguished by their 15N chemical shifts of pyridine and simultaneously quantified under conditions corresponding to catalytic reaction conditions. Determination of the individual concentrations of acidic sites allows further insight into the catalytic process. It was found that the concentration of Brønsted sites correlates with catalyzed conversion of citronellal to isopulegol in the investigated series of catalysts. Additionally, investigations indicate that one of the Lewis sites become blocked during the reaction of citronellal.

To overcome some of these limitations, 29Si{27Al} TRAPDOR NMR as well as 27Al{29Si} and 27Al{1H} REDOR NMR spectroscopy were applied to materials synthesized by the one-part alkali-activation route from three different amorphous silica starting materials, including rice husk ash. The latter led to formation of a fully amorphous sodium aluminosilicate gel (geopolymer), while the materials produced from the other silicas contained amorphous phase and crystalline zeolites. Application of the double-resonance NMR methods allowed to identify hydrous alumina gel domains in the rice husk ash-based material as well as significantly differing amounts of residual silica in the three cured materials. Four-coordinated Al existed not only in the aluminosilicate gel framework but also in a water-rich chemical environment with only a small amount of Si in proximity, likely in the alumina gel or possibly present as extra-framework Al in the aluminosilicate gel. The results demonstrate how the employment of different silica starting materials determines the phase assemblage of one-part alkali-activated materials, which in turn influences their engineering properties such as the resistance against chemically/biologically aggressive media.

N2 - The pyrolysis and flame retardancy of a bisphenol A polycarbonate/silicon rubber/bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (PC/SiR/BDP) blend were investigated and compared to those of PC/BDP and PC/SiR. The impact modifier SiR consists mainly of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS > 80 wt %). The pyrolysis of PC/SiR/BDP was studied by thermogravimetry (TG), TG–FTIR to analyze the evolved gases, and a Linkam hot stage cell within FTIR as well as 29Si NMR and 31P NMR to analyze the solid residue. The fire performance was determined by PCFC, LOI, UL 94, and a cone calorimeter under different external irradiations. The fire residues were studied by using ATR-FTIR as well as the additional binary systems PC + PDMS, PC + BDP, and BDP + PDMS, focusing on the specific chemical interactions. The decomposition pathways are revealed, focusing on the competing interaction between the components. Fire retardancy in PC/SiR/BDP is caused by both flame inhibition in the gas phase and inorganic-carbonaceous residue formation in the condensed phase. The PC/SiR/BDP does not work as well superimposing the PC/SiR and PC/BDP performances. PDMS reacts with PC and BDP, decreasing BDP's mode of action. Nevertheless, the flammability (LOI > 37%, UL 94 V-0) of PC/SiR/BDP equals the high level of PC/BDP. Indeed, SiR in PC/SiR/BDP is underlined as a promising impact modifier in flame-retarded PC/impact modifier blends as an alternative to highly flammable impact modifiers such as acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS), taking into account that the chosen SiR leads to PC blends with a similar mechanical performance.

The pyrolysis, reaction to small flame and fire behaviour of the blends are characterised and structure–property relationships discussed. Among the added layered materials, talc functions as an inert filler with potential for commercialisation, whereas organically modified montmorillonite (LS) enhances decomposition. PC/SiR/BDP + talc and PC/SiR/BDP + LS reinforce the char and induce a flow limit. The different dispersion and location of boehmite (AlO(OH)) nano-particles and Mg(OH)2 micro-particles determine the impact on performance. PC/SiR/BDP + Mg(OH)2 shows additional hydrolysis and thus reduced flame retardancy. AlO(OH) is embedded in SiR and thus behaves as an inert filler. Both additives worked as smoke suppressants. Using selective filling with nano-particles is proposed as an interesting route for flame retardancy in PC/SiR blends. Adding metal oxides and carbonate (MgO, CaCO3 and SiO2) changes the decomposition pathways of PC/SiR/BDP, worsening the fire performance of PC/SiR/BDP. CaCO3 harbours the potential to intumescence, even though an early collapse of the char structure occurred. Adding hydrated metal borates, CaB, MgB and ZnB, changes the pyrolysis and flame retardancy action. Smoke suppression occurs; LOI is improved as well as UL 94 classification. ZnB performs better than MgB and CaB. The comprehensive study, also based on systematic material variation, delivers valuable guidelines for future development of flame-retarded multi-component PC blends.

H-1, B-11, C-13 and P-31 NMR experiments using direct excitation with a single pulse and H-1-P-31 cross-polarization (CP) were carried out including 31P(1 H) and C-13{P-31}double-resonance techniques (REDOR: Rotational Echo Double Resonance) on a series of heat-treated samples (580 K-850 K). Because many amorphous phases occur in the solid residues, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy addresses the most important sites carbon, phosphorus and boron, this paper is the key analytical approach for understanding the pyrolysis and flame retarding phenomenon in the condensed phase of PC/SiR/BDP and PC/SiR/BDP/ZnB. For the system PC/SiR/BDP it is shown that (i) at temperatures around 750-770 K (main decomposition step) carbonaceous charring of PC occurs and arylphosphate structures are still present, reacted in part with the decomposing PC; (ii) for higher temperatures from 770 K the phosphorus remaining in the solid phase increasingly converts to amorphous phosphonates and inorganic orthophosphates with a minor amount of crystalline orthophosphates; and (iii) H-1-P-31{H-1} CP REDOR and H-1-C-13{P-31} CP REDOR NMR experiments suggest that the phosphates and phosphonates are bound via oxygen to aromatic carbons, indicating the interaction with the carbonaceous char. When ZnB is added to the system PC/SiR/BDP, (i) ZnB leads to a slightly enhanced PC decomposition for temperatures below 750 K; (ii) alpha-Zn-3(PO4)(2) and borophosphate (BPO4) are formed in small amounts at high temperatures suggesting a reaction between BDP and ZnB during thermal decomposition; and (iii) most of the borate remains in the solid residues, forming an amorphous pure borate network, with the BO3/BO4 ratio increasing with higher temperatures. The NMR data of thermal and fire residues are highly correlated, underlining the importance of this work for understanding the pyrolysis and flame retardancy mechanisms in the condensed phase during the burning of the PC/SiR blends.

In PC/SiR/BDP, part of the SiR reacts to an amorphous silicate network rather than being completely released in the gas phase. The silicate network consists of Q4 and Q3 groups formed via intermediate D and T groups. The D groups are formed by a reaction of SiR with bisphenol-A units as well as phenyl groups of PC and BDP. In addition a small amount of silicon diphosphate was observed after thermal treatment at temperatures higher than 810 K. The same decomposition products (without SiP2O7) occur in the solid residues of PC/SiR/BDP/ZnB samples. The formation of intermediate D and T groups occurs earlier, at slightly lower temperatures. Any formation of a borosilicate network was excluded. The results also apply for the fire residues of PC/SiR/BDP and PC/SiR/BDP/ZnB and are thus valuable for understanding the impact of SiR on pyrolysis and flame retardancy mechanisms in the condensed phase during the burning of PC/SiR/BDP blends. SiR was found to influence the pyrolysis and the char formed. Beyond the replacement of highly combustible mechanical modifiers, SiR harbours the potential to enhance flame retardancy.

T1 - Origin of templating processes in polypyrrole synthesis N2 - The supermolecular mechanism of the template-mediated oxidative polymerization of pyrrole is investigated in detail. It is shown for the first time that 2,5-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)pyrrolidyl complexes with aromatic sulfonic acids such as %#946;-naphtalenesulfonic acid or para-toluenesulfonic acid are formed in the early polymerization step. The crystalline acid–base complexes are isolated and their crystal structures are analyzed. A 2,5-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)pyrrolidyl cation is common to both complexes and forms an inner salt with the sulfonic acid anion. As concluded from NMR investigations the synthesis using sulfonic acids results in a high stereo selectivity with respect to the trans conformation of the pyrrolidyl ring compared with the classical synthesis routine of this compound using hydrochloric acid. The needle-like crystals of the complexes act as hard templates during the next step of the polymerization and result in tubular morphologies of the polypyrrole.
