T1 - Application of novel tumor cell glycan-specific nanoprobes for detecting and targeting breast and prostate cancer N2 - Glycosylation is a post-translational modification that is involved in the regulation of many biological processes. The glycosylation pattern in cancer cells differs from that in normal cells. One of the main alterations that has been observed in several cancers is the increase of sialic acids at the end of the glycan. The increase of sialic acids and other alterations affect development and progression of tumors and are found to play an important role in cancer invasiveness and metastasis. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic recognition elements that show high selectivity and affinity for their targets. These polymers show promising applications in detection methods for cancer cells. In this study newly synthesized MIPs, labelled with a nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) fluorophore, are investigated for their specificity and utility in the detection of cancer cell-related sialic acids.

This is possible since the detection method is based on a very sharp AFM tip which starts to oscillate when the sample starts to thermally expand (the changed is caused by the absorption of IR wavelength) where the thermal expansion is related to the IR absorption. This presentation briefly described the application of that new technique from polymer characterization and utilization of AFM-IR in material research, up to life science applications.

With microorganisms involved (microbial influenced corrosion, MIC), the problem becomes more complex. Iron reducing bacteria (IRB) for example accelerate the corrosion of iron based materials like stainless steel via the reduction of iron oxides in the passive layer. When co-cultivated with iron oxidizing bacteria, IRBs can induce deep, heterogeneously distributed pits on stainless steel surfaces. The analysis of localized corrosion – or pitting corrosion – is of great relevance since it can lead to unpredictable material failure. In general, macroscopic electrochemical methods are not capable of providing information about the spatial heterogeneity of a sample and thus need to be complemented by multi-electrode based techniques or scanning electrochemical methods. The aim of this work is to develop methods for the analysis of localized corrosion, on stainless steel surfaces induced by IRB biofilms. The greatest challenge is to address the complexity of two heterogeneous systems at the metal/biofilm interface. First there is the variation in the passive layer composition and microstructure. Secondly, the microbial biofilm with its heterogeneous tree-dimensional structure resulting in local differential aeration cells and electrochemical parameters. To be able to differentiate between individual effects, artificial biofilms mimicking the physical properties of a natural biofilm are used in this study as model systems. This artificial biofilm is applied on a multi-electrode probe to identify local anodic sites during exposure experiments. The detailed analysis of active sites by means of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) allows the investigation of local properties within the biofilm and its immediate vicinity. The presented analytical approach delivers promising results in clarifying how localized corrosion of stainless steels develops chronologically and spatially in the presence of IRBs. Furthermore, our results on model systems provide the basis for the application of the methodology for the investigation of natural or multi-species biofilms in the future.

The building and construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources. Consequently, there is a particular need for regulations and technologies that help to create closed material cycles. From the technological point of view, such efforts are complicated by the growing material diversity and the amount of composites contained in present and future construction and demolition waste (CDW). Nowadays, simple but proven techniques like manual sorting are mainly used. However, this practice not only poses health risks and dangers to the staff performing the work, but also relies on merely obvious, visually striking differences. Automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions. The preliminary results for the identification of a wide variety of building materials with LIBS are presented.

The advantages of LIBS over standard methods are the possibility of multi-element analysis, measurement speed, spatially resolved measurements, and minimal sample preparation. The spatially resolved measurements of LIBS allow the assessment of the heterogeneity of the concrete by measuring separately the chemical composition of the aggregates and the binder matrix. The latter is particularly relevant because the determined elemental distribution can be directly related to the binder matrix. This is not possible with standard methods, since the material is homogenized to powder during sample preparation stage and the determined concentration is thus related to the total mass. In addition to the use of LIBS for the specific analysis of individual harmful ions, LIBS can also be used to estimate the concrete composition and thus determine, for example, the type of cement used. Corresponding information are relevant for the estimation of the remaining service life and for the preparation of a maintenance concept. In recent years, LIBS has been increasingly used in civil engineering. Currently, however, it is primarily used in research institutions and only occasionally in building materials laboratories. Special commercial devices have also been developed, which greatly simplify the application due to the high degree of automation. Mobile LIBS systems allow on-site application. A central point, which limits the use of LIBS in the commercial sector, is the lack of norms and standards. Therefore, within the framework of a project funded by the German government, work has been carried out on the preparation of a leaflet on quantitative chlorine determination in concrete, which will be published this year. In interlaboratory comparisons the robustness and accuracy for the practical application was demonstrated. LIBS also has great potential in the recycling of construction waste in conjunction with hyperspectral sensors. This issue is currently being addressed in a national project. During the presentation, the state of the art of LIBS in civil engineering will be presented, next steps will be discussed, and future challenges will be outlined.

Concrete is naturally inhomogeneous. Therefore we must take into account the local variation of the element composition using a statistical analysis. Depending on how much cement and aggregate is measured with each laser pulse, a scan on the surface of a concrete specimen produces a distribution of points in the Rankin diagram which is used to characterise the concrete.

Concrete is often used in combination with steel as reinforced concrete. Environmental influences, especially the ingress of harmful ions in combination with the ingress of water, trigger different damage processes which reduce the designed lifetime of a structure. The ingress of chlorides from de-icing salt or sea water leads to corrosion of the reinforcement. Also the carbonation of the concrete may trigger the corrosion of the reinforcement. The ingress of alkalis from de-icing salts may cause the expansion of the amorphous silica aggregates (alkali-silica reaction) through formation of a swelling gel of calcium silicate hydrate if water is present. The ingress of sulfates may cause spalling of the concrete surface due to ett-ringite formation. For the standard procedure in civil engineering cores are taken, cut in slices, grinded and the obtained homogenized powder is solved in acid and investigated by standard procedures. BAM has developed the LIBS technique for the 2D evaluation of the chemical composition of concrete [1-5]. The technique is established for automated laborato-ry use with high numbers of samples to investigate transport processes of harmful species (Cl-, CO2, SO42- and alkalis) in concrete. Information about ingress depth and the quantitative values are important to estimate the remaining lifetime of the infrastructure. LIBS is a surface technique. To get information about the ingress depth, a core has to be taken and cut in the middle. The measurements are carried out at the cross section. The main advantages of LIBS are the direct measure-ment on the surface of the concrete, fast analysis (sample rate 100 Hz) with a spatial resolution of up to 100 μm, the consideration of the heterogeneity of the concrete and the possibility of automated measurements which save a lot of man-power and time. As an example the investigation of ingress profiles for standard diffusion and migration tests in civil engi-neering takes hours in comparison to just a few minutes using LIBS. At the same time a 2D-evaluation provides information about hot spots of elemental concentration which may not be found by standard methods. The state of the art of LIBS technique for applications in civil engineering will be presented, including typical results of 2D investigation of concrete in laboratory. The performance is also demonstrated by examples for on-site applications using a mobile LIBS system. The road map to standardization is presented as well.

The LIBS method is used for optical sensing in various branches of industrial production. In the contribution we review some of our recent results on LIBS analysis of slags from secondary metallurgy in industrial steel making. Major oxides in steel slags are measured at-line and after homogenization using a calibration-free (CF) method. Two approaches for CF analysis based on the Boltzmann plot method and on the calculation of synthetic spectra are compared for the analysis of quaternary oxides. We also present the research in cooperation with our industrial partners in the process-analytical chemistry network PAC. T2 - 11.

However, when NPs are suspended in a complex, unknown solution, matrix effects can occur affecting the instrument’s sensitivity. As a result, an over- or underestimation of the particle size is possible. In this work, a proof-of-concept study of the combination of isotopic dilution analysis (IDA) and spICP-MS compensating for possible matrix effects is presented. As an example, an isotopically enriched 109Ag standard solution was added to silver NPs (Ag NP) suspensions. Different NP suspensions with mean particle diameters between 30 and 80 nm were chosen. The mixtures were analyzed using a quadrupole ICP-MS instrument. Both Ag isotopes (107Ag and 109Ag) were monitored during one experiment. The result show a good agreement with the diameters obtained using conventional spICP-MS. In a second step, the Ag NPs were suspended in a simulated seawater matrix. Using conventional spICP-MS, a great reduction in the signal intensities and consequently in the particle sizes, was monitored. The application of the IDA-spICP-MS approach on these samples was able to obtain similar diameters compared to the samples without matrix.

A1 - Schönhals, Andreas T1 - Application of Fast Scanning Calorimetry in Soft Matter Research – Two Examples: 1. Polymers for Gas separation membranes 2. Ionic Liquid Crystals N2 - The application of fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) with heating rates in the range from 10 K/s to 10,000 K/s in soft matter research is discussed through two examples. In the first part, FSC is applied to polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). No glass transition could be measured for these polymers by conventional calorimetry before their degradation. By decoupling the time scales of chemical degradation and the glass transition, it could be shown for the first time that PIMs undergo a glass transition. In the second part, FSC is applied to ionic liquid crystals to investigate their molecular mobility. In order to cover a broad dynamical range, FSC is combined with temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry, and temperature-modulated FSC.

Important applications include thickness measurements, geometry determination, the localization and characterization of built-in components as well as the detection of quality issues (cracks, honeycombing, low concrete strength). To improve ultrasonic data imaging of complicated structures in concrete, we transferred a seismic migration technique, the Reverse Time Migration (RTM), to non-destructive testing in civil engineering. In a preliminary study, we tested a 2D acoustic RTM algorithm on measured ultrasonic echo data acquired at a concrete foundation slab. Compared to the conventional used synthetic aperture focusing technique algorithms (SAFT) for ultrasonic data reconstruction, our acoustic RTM results showed a significant improvement in imaging the interior structure of the concrete slab. Vertical reflectors were reconstructed which was not possible by traditional imaging. In contrast to SAFT, RTM is a wavefield-continuation method in time and uses the full wave equation. RTM is, thus, able to include multiple reflections and to handle multi-pathing as well as many other complex situations. As a drawback RTM requires extensive computing power and memory capacity. Nevertheless, due to progresses in parallel processing and other computational technologies RTM has become appealing for the application in the field of non-destructive testing. An RTM algorithm, which uses the full elastic wave equation instead of the full acoustic one (as applied in our preliminary work) has the potential to optimize the imaging results even further. This is due to the fact, that our ultrasonic measurement data are generated by exciting elastic waves. Thus, in a first step, two 2D elastic RTM algorithms were tested on synthetic ultrasonic echo data generated with a concrete model consisting of several steps and circular shaped air inclusions. In addition, two imaging conditions were evaluated to reduce migration artifacts. Our synthetic elastic RTM results showed an enhancement in imaging the features inside the test model compared to acoustic RTM and SAFT. In a second step, we acquired ultrasonic measurement data at a concrete test specimen consisting of three steps and four air filled tendon ducts. The evaluation of the real data with our elastic RTM code was also successful and the reconstruction of the geometries of the steps and tendon ducts could be improved. With our study we have shown that elastic RTM is a step forward for ultrasonic testing in civil engineering.
