TY - JOUR A1 - Dreßler, Martin A1 - Reinsch, Stefan A1 - Schadrack, Reinhard A1 - Benemann, Sigrid T1 - Burnout behavior of ceramic coated open cell polyurethane (PU) sponges N2 - Open cell rigid foams made from polyurethane (PU) are frequently used in ceramic processing for preparation of porous ceramics by the so-called replica technique. This work presents data regarding the PU burnout, shrinkage characteristics as well as the morphology of the ceramic coated PU sponges during heating up. Shrinkage of the ceramic coated PU sponges closely follows the mass loss due to PU decomposition. Two temperatures (i) 267 °C and (ii) 380 °C were identified at which PU decomposition reaches local maxima. Shrinkage measurements on ceramic coated PU sponges reveal that both PU decomposition stages lead to similar extends of shrinkage in the ceramic coated PU sponge. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) showed that the two decomposition related temperatures (267 and 380 °C) differ concerning the energy release. While the low-temperature signal is endothermic, an exothermic signal was detected at 380 °C. The morphology of the ceramic coated PU sponges was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which gave insight into the formation of hollow ceramic struts-a well known feature of ceramics being prepared by the replica technique.

After heat treatment at similar temperatures, films and monoliths showed the same qualitative changes in porosity and specific surface area. However, some marked quantitative differences were detected. Film fragments had a lower open porosity, a lower specific surface area and a narrower pore size distribution. Furthermore, the thermal evolution showed a markedly different burnout of organic components between films and monoliths. The observed differences between films and monolith can be explained by the ageing history of the sols during sample preparation.

T1 - Aluminum speciation and thermal evolution of aluminas resulting from modified Yoldas sols N2 - Aluminas resulting from sols prepared via a modified Yoldas procedure were studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential thermal gravimetrie (DTG), 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al MAS NMR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) concerning their thermal properties, aluminum speciation and phase content. 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.

Tailored sol–gel syntheses result in precursors with nano-scaled silica species which are able to penetrate into the cell walls of wood. The physical fixation of those species inside the cell walls was verified by ESEM/EDX investigations. There is evidence that the silica species are chemically bonded to wood components. Nonreacted alkoxy groups can exist in the wood composites after impregnation. The amount of these organic residues depends on the composition of the precursors, especially their condensation degree and reactivity. Treatments for finishing the composites after the impregnation step to get clean products and stable properties are discussed in this context. An explanation of the complex relationship between solids content in the impregnation solutions and percentage weight gain and bulking of the composites is given. It can be demonstrated that high WPG values (>20 %) are pre-conditions for an effective protection of the resulting composites but they only guarantee efficient improvements if connected with the incorporation of the inorganic component inside the cell walls. Therefore, the sol–gel syntheses have to be carried out in such a manner that very small (<2 nm) as well as reactive species are sufficiently available. This demands syntheses using sub-stoichiometric water contents (H2O/TEOS <4, better <2).

T1 - Sample preparation for analytical scanning electron microscopy using initial notch sectioning N2 - A novel method for broad ion beam based sample sectioning using the concept of initial notches is presented. An adapted sample geometry is utilized in order to create terraces with a well-define d step in erosion depth from the surface. The method consists of milling a notch into the surface, followed by glancing-angle ion beam erosion, which leads to preferential erosion at the notch due to increased local surface elevation. The process of terrace formation can be utilized in sample preparation for analytical scanning electron microscopy in order to get efficient access to the depth-dependent microstructure of a material. It is demonstrated that the method can be applied to both conducting and non-conducting specimens. Furthermore, experimental parameters influencing the preparation success are determined. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, an electron backscatter diffraction study on a surface crystallized diopside glass ceramic is performed, where the method is used to analyze orientation dependent crystal growth phenomena occurring during growth of surface crystals into the bulk.
