Probing the interfacial properties with atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based methods, especially particle-matrix long-range interactions, is challenging. This is due to size limitations of various analytical methods in resolving nanoparticles and their interphases, the overlap of interphases, and the effect of buried particles that prevent the accurate interphase property measurement. Here, we develop a layered model system in which the epoxy is cured in contact with a thin layer of hydrothermally synthesized boehmite. Different microscopy methods are employed to evaluate the interfacial properties. With intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) and amplitude dependence force spectroscopy (ADFS), which contain information about stiffness, electrostatic, and van der Waals forces, a soft interphase was detected between the epoxy and boehmite. Surface potential maps obtained by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM) revealed another interphase about one order of magnitude larger than the mechanical interphase. The AFM-infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) technique reveals that the soft interphase consists of unreacted curing agent. The long-range electrical interphase is attributed to the chemical alteration of the bulk epoxy and the formation of new absorption bands.

A1 - Bettge, Dirk A1 - Kranzmann, Axel T1 - Combining CO2 streams from different emitters ‐ a challenge for pipeline transportation N2 - Depending on the CO2 generating and the capture process as well as on consecutive purification steps applied, CO2 streams from different emitters may differ in their composition. When CO2 streams with different compositions are fed into a larger pipeline network, there are several aspects that must be considered: i) chemical reactions, such as acid formation, may occur within the joint CO2 stream; ii) there may be a variation of mass flow rate and CO2 stream composition within the pipeline network if the feed-in behavior of different CO2 sources changes with time. Potential impacts of changing CO2 stream compositions and mass flow rates in CCS cluster systems were investigated in the collaborative project "CLUSTER" (see also www.bgr.bund.de/CLUSTER). In this presentation, we focus on the experimental investigations of formation and condensation of strong acids and their impacts on the corrosion of pipeline steels. When SO2, NO2, O2 and H2O are present simultaneously in CO2 streams chemical cross-reactions may occur leading to the formation of strong acids such as sulfuric and nitric acid. To prevent this acid formation the concentration of at least one of these four impurities must be kept very low (e.g., Rütters et al., 2016). At temperatures below the acid dew point temperature, acids will condense, e.g., on pipeline steel surfaces. In turn, these acid condensates may trigger steel corrosion. To better understand the process of acid formation and condensation and its implications for steel corrosion, exposure tests were performed on pipeline steel X70 in dense CO2 with varying SO2, NO2 and O2 concentration under high pressure and at 278 K in an observable autoclave, in which water was added as droplets or as vapor. Further, electrochemical tests were carried out with X70 specimens immersed in 500 mL CO2-saturated synthetic condensate solution or in droplets of the same solution on the specimen’s surface. Depending on impurity concentrations in the CO2 streams, condensates consisting of different relative amounts of nitric and sulfuric acid were formed. In condensates containing both nitric and sulfuric acid, corrosion rates were higher than the sum of those of the individual acids. In addition, corrosion products and forms depended on the condensate composition. Investigations of water droplets on steel surfaces in impurity-containing dense-phase CO2 revealed the diffusion of SO2 and NO2, followed by cross-reactions forming corresponding acids. An increase in droplet size (from 1 to 5 µl) lead to higher corrosion rates. However, in comparison to measurements in bulk solution, corrosion reactions in droplets resulted in thick, high-resistance corrosion products and observed droplet corrosion rates were significantly lower. In addition, the possibility of acid droplet formation and growth in impure liquid CO2 is influenced by the wetting behavior of the acid droplet on the steel surface. Thus, the contact angle between a water droplet and the surface steel specimens in a CO2 atmosphere was investigated in a high pressure view cell following the sessile drop method. The contact angle wasand found to be larger at higher CO2 pressures (studied from 5 to 20 MPa) and at higher temperatures (e.g. 278 K to 333 K). Further, measured contact angles were larger on rough than on smooth metal surfaces. In addition, acid formation reduced the contact angle, i.e. lead to better wetting, thereby stimulating condensation that was followed by a corrosion process. These detailed insights on the complex interplay of acid formation, condensation, wetting behavior and corrosion allow a better assessment of material suitability for pipeline transportation of impure CO2 streams T2 - TCCS-10 The 10th Trondheim Conference on Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage CY - Trondheim, Norway DA - 17.06.2019 KW - arbon capture KW - utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology KW - corrosion KW - condensate KW - electrochemical characterization KW - pitting corrosion KW - impurities KW - carbon steel PY - 2019 UR - https://www.sintef.no/globalassets/project/tccs-10/dokumenter/tccs10---book-of-abstracts.pdf AN - OPUS4-48369 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Kupsch, Andreas A1 - Erdmann, Maren A1 - Müller, Bernd R.

To assess dimensional tolerances of inner metal structures of an industrially produced LTCC multilayer, computer tomography (CT) scans were evaluated by machine learning segmentation. The tested multilayer consists of several layers of a glass ceramic substrate with low resistance silver-based vertical interconnect access (VIA). The VIAs are punched into the LTCC green tape and then filled with silver-based pastes before stacking and sintering. These geometries must abide by strict tolerance requirements to ensure the high frequency properties. This poster presents a method to extract shape and size specific data from these VIAs. For this purpose, 4 measurements, each containing 3 to 4 samples, were segmented using the trainable WEKA segmentation, a non-commercial machine learning tool. The dimensional stability of the VIA can be evaluated regarding the edge-displacement as well as the cross-sectional area. Deviation from the ideal tubular shape is best measured by aspect ratio of each individual layer. The herein described method allows for a fast and semi-automatic analysis of considerable amount of structural data. This data can then be quantified by shape descriptors to illustrate 3-dimensional information in a concise manner. Inter alia, a 45 % periodical change of cross-sectional area is demonstrated.

Addition of organics to ceramic slurries holds advantages compared to dry processing like organic content reduction and a more homogeneous additive distribution on the particle surface. Investigations of the alumina slurries were primarily based on zeta potential measurements and sedimentation analysis by optical centrifugation. Both methods were combined to determine a suitable additive type, amount and composition, whereas the spray drying suitability has been ensured by viscosity measurements. Granules, yielded by spray drying of such ideally dispersed alumina slurries, are mostly hollow and possess a hard shell. Those granules cannot easily be processed and can only hardly be destroyed in the following shaping step, leading to sinter bodies with many defects and poor strength and density. The precise slurry destabilization, carried out after ideally dispersing the ceramic powder, shows a strong influence on the drying behavior of the granules and hence on the granule properties. A promising degree of destabilization and partial flocculation was quantified by optical centrifugation and resulted in improved granule properties. Spray drying the destabilized alumina slurries yielded homogeneous “non-hollow” granules without the above mentioned hard shell. Sample bodies produced of these granules exhibited a reduction of defect size and number, leading to better results for sinter body density and strength. The positive effect of the slurry destabilization has been further improved, by exchanging the atomizing unit from a two-fluid one to an ultrasound atomizer with only minor slurry adjustments necessary. The controlled destabilization and ultrasound atomization of the ceramic slurry show excellent transferability for zirconia and even ZTA (zirconia toughened alumina) composite materials.

Therefore, a high yield concept for small batch preparation of ready-to-press powder is exemplarily presented for yttria stabilized nano-zirconia (d50 < 50 nm). The concept involves small batch preparation in an ultrasound resonator, dispersant selection based on zeta potential measurements, evaluation of slurry stability using an analytical centrifuge, and preparation of ready-to-press powder by freeze drying. Freeze drying offers key advantages. Process efficiency and high yield above 95 % are independent of sample size. The dried product does not require further mechanical treatment like milling or grinding. Side effects like migration of additives are avoided. An optimized freeze drying process tolerates slurries with moderate stability. Thus, efforts for slurry development can be reduced. Generally, identifying a suitable dispersing agent requires only 3-5 zeta potential measurements. Slurry stability is rechecked using an analytical centrifuge, which also accounts for steric stabilization. An ultrasound resonator is used to disperse the powder without contamination, which becomes critical for small batches. The described route is exemplarily presented for the development of an additive recipe for nano-sized zirconia powder, targeting for good pressing behavior and high green density. Therefore, a variety of binding and lubricating agents were tested. Following the presented route, 80 g zirconia powder were sufficient to conduct a study including slurry development and five sample sets with varying composition, each set comprising five discs (d = 20 mm and h = 2 mm).

T1 - Sub-critical crack growth in hydrous silicate glasses N2 - Environmental conditions are known to influence sub-critical crack growth (SCCG) that starts from microscopic flaws at the glass surface, leading to stress corrosion phenomena at the crack tip. The processes at the crack tip are complex and water has been identified as a key component governing SCCG at low crack velocities (region I). In particular, the influence of humidity accelerating crack propagation is well studied for dry industrial soda-lime silicate glasses (< 1000 ppm water). To shed light on this influence, the effect of water is mimicked by studying SCCG in water-bearing glasses. For this purpose, water-bearing silicate glasses of up to 8 wt% total water were synthesized in an internally heated pressure vessel at 0.5 GPa and compared to dry glasses. SCCG was measured using the double cantilever beam technique. For dry glasses, three trends in the crack growth velocity versus stress intensity, KI, curve were found. The slope in region I, limited by environmental corrosion, increases in the order soda-lime silicate < sodium borosilicate < barium calcium silicate < sodium zinc silicate < sodium aluminosilicate glass. The velocity range of region II, reflecting the transition between corrosion affected and inert crack growth (region III), varies within one order of magnitude among these glasses. The KI region of inert crack growth strongly scatters between 0.4 and 0.9 MPam1/2. For hydrous glasses, it is found that water strongly decreases Tg, form a new sub-Tg relaxation peak caused by molecular water, and makes the glasses more prone to SCCG. The observed trends will be discussed in terms of the effects of Youngs Modulus on strain energy release rate and energy dissipation related to glass relaxation phenomena.

T1 - Ceria-based dual-phase membranes for high-temperature Carbon dioxide separation: Effect of iron doping and pore generation with MgO template N2 - Dual-phase membranes for high-temperature carbon dioxide Separation have emerged as promising technology to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions, especially as a pre- and post-combustion separation technique in coal burning power plants. To implement These membranes industrially, the carbon dioxide permeability must be improved. In this study, Ce_(0.8) Sm_(0.2) O_(2-d) (SDC) and Ce_(0.8)Sm_(0.19)Fe_(0.01)O_(2-d) (FSDC) ceramic powders were used to form the skeleton in dual-Phase membranes. The use of MgO as an environmentally friendly pore generator allows control over the membrane porosity and microstructure in order to compare the effect of the membrane’s ceramic phase. The ceramic powders and the resulting membranes were characterized using ICP-OES, HSM, gravimetric analysis, SEM/EDX, and XRD, and the carbon dioxide flux density was quantified using a high-temperature membrane permeation setup. The carbon dioxide permeability slightly increases with the addition of iron in the FSDC membranes compared to the SDC membranes mainly due to the reported scavenging effect of iron with the siliceous impurities, with an additional potential contribution of an increased crystallite size due to viscous flow sintering. The increased permeability of the FSDC system and the proper microstructure control by MgO can be further extended to optimize carbon dioxide permeability in this membrane system.
