The versatility of fluorophores as probes, especially in terms of the possibility to tailor their optical as well as their recognition properties by synthetic modifications in a wide range, renders them a superior active component for the preparation of optical sensor devices. Recent works at BAM in this field include, for example, the detection of nerve gas agents, illustrating impressively the aforementioned benefits of fluorophores in optical sensing applications. In the interdisciplinary approach presented here, we target hazardous gases such as ammonia, benzene, and hydrogen sulfide, next to others, which pose a major threat to human health and environmental safety and for which the availability of a sensitive and reliable detection method is highly desirable. The dyes presented follow a “turn-on” fluorescence schematic which allows for the selective and sensitive detection of the respective gaseous analyte. The immobilization of the probe in polymeric matrices is then the next step toward the fabrication of a prototype device for molecular sensing.

T1 - Fibre optic ratiometric fluorescence pH sensor for monitoring corrosion in concrete N2 - In this communication a novel concept for pH sensing is introduced which is specifically adapted to monitor carbonation induced corrosion in concrete structures. The method is based on a ratiometric measurement principle, exploiting the pH sensitive colour switching of thymol blue in the basic pH regime and the emissive properties of two different (Zn)CdSe/ZnS core shell quantum dots. The transition point of thymol blue in a Hydrogel D4 matrix was determined to be at around pH 11.6, which fits ideally to the intended application. Next to the fundamental spectroscopic characterization of the ratiometric response, a new design for a sensor head, suitable for the incorporation into concrete matrices is presented. Toward this, a manufacturing process was developed which includes the preparation of a double layer of polymers containing either thymol blue or a quantum dot mixture inside a porous ceramic tube. Results of a proof-of-priciple performance test of the sensor head in solutions of different pH and in cement specimens are presented, with encouraging results paving the way for future field tests in concrete.

In der Arbeit wurden zwei unterschiedliche Flammschutzkonzepte polymerer Baustoffe mit Hilfe des Cone Calorimeter untersucht und bewertet. Polymer-Schicht-Nanocomposites sind ein neues Konzept für flammgeschützte Werkstoffe, die aus einer Polymermatrix und der Zugabe eines nanoskaligen Schichtsilikat- Additivs von ca. 5 Gew.-% bestehen. Im Brandfall bilden die Schichtsilikate eine Barriere, die den Wärmetransport in das Material bzw. den Stofftransport der Pyrolysegase aus dem Material hemmt. Mit einem Modellsystem wurde gezeigt, dass dieser Barriereeffekt das Brandverhalten hinsichtlich der Flammenausbreitung verbessert, in anderen Brandszenarien aber wirkungslos bleibt. Die Ergebnisse der Cone Calorimeter Untersuchungen wurden mit denen der Entflammbarkeitstests UL 94 und LOI verglichen. Eine Korrelation in Richtung kleiner Probendimensionen (downscale) und in Richtung Phase der Brandentstehung wurde aufgezeigt. Die Anwendung intumeszierender Beschichtungen auf Bauteile verschiedener Art, wie z. B. tragende Stahlkonstruktionen, ist ein etabliertes Brandschutzkonzept. Das intumeszierende Polymermaterial schäumt unter Wärmeeinwirkung auf und bildet eine wärmeisolierende Schicht. Zur Bewertung der Wirkungsweise dieses Polymermaterials wurde ein auf Temperaturmessungen basierendes Verfahren mit dem Cone Calorimeter und für Simulationsrechnung entwickelt. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit denen aus Kleinprüfstanduntersuchungen verglichen. Eine Korrelation in Richtung großer Probendimensionen (upscale) und in Richtung der Phase des voll entwickelten Brandes konnte bis zu einer Temperaturgrenze gezeigt werden. N2 - Objective of this thesis was the investigation and evaluation of two different concepts of flame-retarding polymeric building materials. In the centre of this concern is the cone calorimeter as a versatile device in the field of flame retardancy and burning behaviour of materials and constructions. The cone calorimeter is characterized by a medium sample dimension (100 x 100 mm2). It simulates the phase of flame spread of a real burning process. The capabilities of the sample materials were of interest as well as the potentials and limitations of the investigation method. The scientific significance of cone calorimeter results was analysed in terms of different fire Scenarios and sample dimensions. Polymer Layered Silicate Nanocomposites are a new concept of flame retarding materials consisting of a polymer matrix and the addition of about 5 wt.-% nanoscale clay. In the case of a fire the clay layers built up a barrier, which hinders the heat transport into the sample and the mass transport of pyrolysis gases out of the material. Using a model system it was shown, that this barrier effect results in an essential improvement in burning behaviour in terms of flame spread but was ineffective for different fire scenarios and phases of burning, respectively. The results of cone calorimeter measurements were compared to results of the flammability tests UL 94 and LOI. A correlation towards smaller sample dimensions (downscale) and towards the phase of flammability was shown. The application of intumescent coatings on different structural members like supporting steel constructions is an established concept of fire retardancy. The intumescent polymeric material swells under thermal impact and forms a heat insulating layer. A method combining temperature measurement using the cone calorimeter and Computer simulation was developed, by which the fire protective effect could be evaluated. Investigation results were compared to results of small scale test furnace measurements. A correlation towards larger sample dimensions (upscale) and towards the phase of a fully developed fire could be shown up to a limitation by temperature.
