In einem thermischen Verfahren werden mineralische Bau- und Abbruchabfälle über ein rohstoffliches Recycling, d. h. einen thermisch-chemischen Stoffumwandlungsprozess, zu leichten Gesteinskörnungen verarbeitet. Dabei werden im Bauschutt vorhandene Sulfate zersetzt. In einer anschließenden Rauchgaswäsche werden die Sulfate abgetrennt. Sie können als Ersatz für REA-Gips verwendet werden. Dies ist Voraussetzung für die Übertragung der Produkt- und Verfahrensidee in die Praxis und für den Nachweis der Sulfatabtrennung und -rückgewinnung aus gipshaltigem Inputmaterial. Es werden Untersuchungen zur Verbreiterung der Rohstoffbasis durch Einkopplung spezifischer mineralischer Stoffströme durchgeführt, die im Ergebnis zu einer Reduktion des Blähmittelbedarfs und einer Absenkung der Brenntemperatur führen sollen. Die Herstellung ausreichender Mengen Leichtgranulate für eine umfassende Charakterisierung nach Norm und die Praxiserprobung in bekannten Anwendungen und neuen Einsatzfeldern ist ein weiteres Projektziel.

Beside construction and demolition waste, various industrial by‐products are studied as raw materials. The raw materials have so far been unused or used in applications with lower quality requirements. To prove the performance of the lightweight aggregates, their technical properties are tested and their use in different applications is studied, e.g., for lightweight mortars as well as lightweight concretes.

Comparative investigations with synchrotron technique on CFRP and grey-scale analysis on glass fibre-reinforced-plastics (GFRP) confirm these results. Moreover it was found that the fracture mechanical properties of the matrix system influence damage nucleation and propagation in the laminate during static and fatigue loads. Single-step fatigue tests were carried out on Laminates with RIM135 and LY556 matrix systems made from non-crimped fabric (NCF) or twill weave in different fibre orientations. The damage to the LY556 laminates was characterized by laminate cracks growing rapidly over the whole specimen width, whereas the damage on the RIM135 laminates was characterized by an earlier onset of micro-cracking followed by laminate cracks. The specimens were fatigued up to 108 (very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime) load cycles. S-N-curves of damage initiation were drawn and boundaries were identified for endurance within the VHCF regime. A phenomenology based model focusing on matrix stress was applied to reproduce the first inter-fibre failure (IFF) under static and fatigue loads.

The resulting poly-(DOPO-HQ/THPPO-terephthalate) (PDTT) is implemented as a flame retardant into an epoxy resin (EP) at a 10 wt% loading. The effects on EP are compared with those of the monomer DOPO-HQ and triphenylphosphine oxide (OPPh3) as low molar mass flame retardants. The glass transition temperature, thermal decomposition, flammability (reaction to small flame), and burning behavior of the thermosets are investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry, UL 94-burning chamber testing, and cone calorimeter measurements. Although P-contents are low at only 0.6 wt%, the study aims not at attaining V-0, but at presenting a proof of principle: Epoxy resinswith PDTT show promising fire performance, exhibiting a 25% reduction in total heat evolved (THE), a 30% reduction in peak heat release rate (PHRR) due to flame inhibition (21% reduction in effective heat of combustion (EHC)), and an increase in Tg at the same time. This study indicates that rigid aromatic hyperbranched polymeric structures offer a promising route toward multifunctional flame retardancy.

Zwei Systeme mit großen bruchmechanischen Unterschieden wurden zur Fertigung äquivalenter GFK- und CFK-Laminate mit Faserausrichtungen in 0/90° und ±45° ausgewählt. In quasi-statischen Zugversuchen und Einstufenschwingversuchen mit einem Beanspruchungsverhältnis von R= 0,1 wurden diese Laminate hinsichtlich ihres Schädigungsbeginns und ihrer Schädigungsentwicklung untersucht. Die Detektion der Schädigungen sowie die Dokumentation der Schädigungsentwicklung wurde anhand der Lichtabsorptionsanalyse an GFK-Laminaten und anhand der Röntgenrefraktionsanalyse an CFK-Laminaten umgesetzt. Auf diese Weise konnten Einflüsse der bruchmechanischen Eigenschaften der Matrix auf die Schädigungsentwicklung im Verbund aufgezeigt werden. Zudem wurden für die untersuchten Laminate die Schädigungsgrenzen bei schwingender Beanspruchung ermittelt. Anhand durchgeführter Schwingversuche an CFK-Laminaten im Very High Cycle Fatigue-(VHCF)-Lastwechselbereich bis 108 konnten Rückschlüsse vom Schädigungsverhalten im High Cycle Fatigue-(HCF)-Lastwechselbereich bis 106 auf die Dauerfestigkeit im VHCF-Bereich gezogen werden und damit VHCF-Dauerfestigkeitsgrenzen bestimmt werden. Mit dem Ziel die Ermüdung der Laminate auf die Beanspruchung der Matrix zurückzuführen, wurden die Erweiterte Inverse Laminattheorie, mikromechanikbasierte Mischungsregeln sowie eine Vergleichsspannungshypothese auf die untersuchten Laminate angewendet. Die Schädigungsgrenzen konnten damit in Form der Matrixbeanspruchung wiedergegeben werden. Die Abbildung der Ermüdung verschiedener Laminate anhand einer matrixspezifischen normierten Masterschädigungslinie ist für die behandelten CFK- und GFK-Laminate gelungen.

While the static strength of CFRP is satisfyingly predictable by means of layerwise-strenght-analysis and material data from single layers, it is more and more uncertain to predict residual strength or lifetime as the design lifetime increases. Previous studies showed that local minor cracks and inter-fiber-fracture (IFF) originate long before total failure of single layers.

It is possible to detect the change of inner surface in a specimen by means of X-Ray-Refractography. This includes voids, intact fiber-matrix-interfaces as well as defective ones, cracks and all interfaces in plane with the X-Ray-beam. As the crack-density (including IFF) increases, the inner surface of the material correspondingly increases. The borderline where even at high cycles no early cracks were detected was identified for selected laminates out of woven and non-crimped fabric with epoxy-matrix. When no micro-cracks were detected up to 106 cycles, the specimens also lasted in the VHCF-regime. Furthermore for the epoxy resin LY556 in combination with carbon fiber it was distinguished that at a load minor to 50% IFF-load level, no micro cracks were detected and consequently the VHCF-endurance reached. The integration of the set-up small-sized testing machine into the X-Ray buildup in order to achieve in-situ non-destructive detection of the crack initiation while loading the specimens (CFRP and GFRP- woven fabric and non-crimped-fabric) at the same time will increase the performance of the studies. In earlier investigations at BAM it was shown, that the matrix has a strong influence on the micro-crack formation and finally on the total lifetime. In order to determine the influence of the matrix properties on the boarderline to infinite life, research is done on laminates while replacing the epoxy-based matrix with an equivalent one with different fracture mechanical properties.

N2 - Faser-Kunststoff Verbunde und insbesondere Kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Kunststoffe werden bereits im Bereich der hohen (HCF) und sehr hohen Lastspielzahlen (VHCF) eingesetzt. Während statische Festigkeiten für diese Materialien bereits gut vorhersagbar sind, gibt es noch keine verlässliche Methode Schwingfestigkeiten zu bestimmen. Vergangene Studien an Faser-Kunststoff Verbunden an der BAM zeigten, dass bei Schwingbelastung Mikrorisse und Zwischenfaserrisse bereits weit vor dem finalen Versagen auftreten. Diese Schäden erhöhen die innere Oberfläche des Materials. Die Änderung der inneren Oberfläche kann mittels der Röntgenrefraktion bestimmt werden. Damit konnte im Rahmen der aktuellen Arbeit eine Lastgrenze ermittelt werden, bei der im untersuchten Lastwechselbereich keine Mikrorisse auftreten. Unter den gegebenen Material- und Versuchsparametern kann damit von einer ermittelten Dauerfestigkeitsgrenze gesprochen werden.

The displacement of the fluoro substituent of an activated aromatic molecule occurs by a primary or secondary amino group of (CH3O)3Si-(CH2)3-NHR [R- = H-; CH3-, (CH3O)3Si-(CH2)3-] in tetraalkoxysilane or alcohol as solvent and the sol-gel process can be carried in the same vessel. The HF formed is trapped by a tertiary amine and simultaneously serves as the catalyst for the sol-gel process. Various aromatic compounds have been checked for this purpose: 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-nitroethylene, 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,2-dicyanoethylene, 4-fluorobenzonitrile, 4-fluoronitrobenzene, 4,4prime-difluorobenzophenone, 4,4prime-difluorobenzil, 7,7prime-difluorodibenzylideneacetone, tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone, and 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene.

Daraus resultieren geringe Wärme- und Schallleitfähigkeiten. Dies ermöglicht den Einsatz als Sichtbeton in Wandelementen ohne die Notwendigkeit einer zusätzlichen Dämmschicht. Vielversprechend erscheint der Einsatz von Leichtgranulaten in Infraleichtbeton, um seinen ökologischen Fußabdruck zu reduzieren und somit ein energieeffizientes und zugleich nachhaltiges Bauen zu ermöglichen. Die Leichtgranulate werden in einem thermo-chemischen Prozess aus gemischtem Mauerwerkbruch hergestellt.

In diesem Artikel werden die Leichtgranulate vorgestellt, ihre Anwendung in Infraleichtbeton geprüft und mit konventionellem Blähton verglichen. N2 - Infra-lightweight concrete exhibits an extremely low dry bulk density of up to 800 kg/m³ while also providing sufficient strength, resulting in low thermal and acoustic conductivity. This allows it to be used as exposed concrete in wall panels without requiring an additional insulating layer. Using lightweight granular materials in infra-lightweight concrete appears to be promising for reducing its environmental footprint and thus enabling energy-efficient and sustainable construction. Lightweight granules are produced from mixed masonry rubble in a thermo-chemical process. In addition to being an alternative to conventional lightweight aggregates, their use also provides the opportunity to put waste products to good use. This article reports on lightweight granules, their use in infra-lightweight concrete, and related tests in comparison to conventional expanded clay.

T1 - Micro-CT analysis and mechanical properties of low dimensional CFR-PEEK specimens additively manufactured by material extrusion N2 - Material extrusion of thermoplastic polymers enables the realization of complex specific designs with high performance composites. The present study aims at evaluating the mechanical properties of carbon fiberreinforced semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK) manufactured by material extrusion and correlating them with results obtained by micro-CT. Samples in the shape of small bars were provided by Kumovis (Munich, Germany). The determination of surface roughness and density was followed by three-point bending tests. To reveal the pore distribution as well as the fusion quality of CFR PEEK when applied with external forces, micro-CT scans were performed with an X-ray microscope before and after the mechanical test to localize the sites where the fracture is generated. The density of CFR-PEEK bars indicated that they had superior mechanical properties compared with our previous study on unfilled 3D printed PEEK (bending modulus: (5.4 ± 0.5) GPa vs. (1.05 ± 0.05) GPa to (1.48 ± 0.10) GPa; bending strength: (167 ± 11) MPa vs. (51 ± 15) to (193 ± 7) MPa). Micro-CT analyses revealed the local 3D-distribution of voids. Voids of 30 μm diameter are nearly spherical and make up the main part of the total porosity. The larger the voids, the more they deviate from a spherical shape. Significant lack-of-fusion voids are located between the deposited filaments. By growing and merging, they act as seeds for the forming fracture line in the region of the flexural specimens where the maximum local tensile stresses occurred under bending load. Our work provides a detailed analysis of printed PEEK with fiber additive and relates this with mechanical properties.

Throughout a series of research projects, the manufacturing process has been developed, optimized and scaled up. Various test results prove that the engineering properties of the new expanded masonry rubble aggregates are similar to those of traditional expanded clays. The aggregates show a heterogeneous and macroporous pore structure. The grains consist of cracks, cavities, large bulky pores and a solid skeleton containing small capillary pores as well as partly melted areas. But which differences and similarities exist to expanded clay aggregates, which are made from a relatively homogeneous clayey raw material? To answer this question, comparative studies on the chemical, physical, mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of expanded masonry rubble aggregates and commercial expanded clay aggregates have been conducted. In our contribution, results of particle shape and porosity measurements, mercury intrusion porosimetry and electron microscopy are presented.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Determination of short carbon fiber orientation in zirconium diboride ceramic matrix composites N2 - In fiber-reinforced components, the fiber alignment and orientation have paramount influence on the thermomechanical properties of the resulting composite, for both short and continuous fiber. Here we present the case of an ultra-refractory matrix intended for extreme environment applications, ZrB2, reinforced with 20 vol% and 50 vol% short carbon fibers. In both cases, fibers tend to align perpendicular to the uniaxial pressure applied during shaping and sintering of a pellet, although the fiber tilt across the pellet thickness is difficult to determine. Moreover, for high volume fractions of reinforcement, the spatial distribution of the fibers is heterogeneous and tends to have domains of preferential orientations. We compare the information on the fiber distribution as collected by scanning electron microscopy images, X-ray computed tomography and synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography (SXRR). The three techniques prove to be complementary. Importantly, we demonstrate that SXRR yields the most statistically significant information due to the largest field of view, yet with a sensitivity down to the nanometer, and that can be successfully applied also to heavy matrix materials, such as zirconium boride.

Several improvements have been implemented in this time, and this review provides an overview of the imaging methods available at the BAMline. Besides classic full-field synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SXCT), also absorption edge CT, synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography (SXRR), and synchrotron X-ray refraction tomography (SXRCT) are used for imaging. Moreover, virtually any of those techniques are currently coupled in situ or operando with ancillary equipment such as load rigs, furnaces, or potentiostats. Each of the available techniques is explained and both the current and the potential usage are described with corresponding examples. The potential use is manifold, the examples cover organic materials, composite materials, energy-related materials, biological samples, and materials related to additive manufacturing. The article includes published examples as well as some unpublished applications.

These days the whole fuselage is made of this material (B787; A350). Due to strict certification standards the normal in-service loading gives a low stress level compared to the static and even the fatigue strength of the material. Hence CFRP are assumed to have an infinite life. To evaluate this assumption, fatigue tests on CFRP-specimens were performed up to 108 load cycles and the first inter-fibre failure was evaluated non-destructively by accompanying Xray-refraction topography. A tensile testing machine was integrated in a small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) setup. X-ray refraction topography was performed while the CFRP samples were tensile loaded. This non-destructive technique enables the detection of micro-cracking and inter-fibre failure especially for CFRP. For Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) X-ray refraction and in-situ loading has already been successfully used. The increase of inner surfaces due to inter fibre failure was measured as a function of the stress state. Fatigue tests were performed at and below the limit of inter-fibre failure strength. State of the art is to assume the failure of the samples under cyclic loading as the fatigue life. Accompanying non-destructive X-ray refraction measurements reflects the damage state and enables to trace its evolution even if the total failure of the specimens does not occur. This investigation technique is of high interest to give the engineer a design value of infinite life which is practically often reached due to knock down factors of certification standards. Finally the infinite life was found for cyclic fatigue loaded CFRP-samples even under high inter fibre transverse and shear loading investigated up to 108 load cycles.

Polymerizations usually proceeded in a living manner, i.e. in the absence of termination and chain transfer reactions, in all solvents, to produce well‐defined polymyrcenes with high content (85%) of cis‐1,4 units. However, polymyrcenyllithium chains exhibited limited long‐term stability in 4‐vinylcyclohexene solution, most probably due to chain transfer to solvent. Reaction orders with respect to the concentration of active chains were found to be one‐quarter in cyclohexane increasing to one‐half in unsaturated solvents, indicating that the polymyrcenyllithium chains are present as tetrameric or dimeric associates, respectively. Apparent activation energies were found to be 81 kJ mol−1 in cyclohexane and 77 kJ mol−1 in dl‐limonene solution, which are close to the values obtained by quantum chemical calculations. © 2025 The Author(s).
