T1 - Concurrent Molecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inflammatory Activity and Extracellular Matrix Degradation for the Prediction of Aneurysm Rupture N2 - This study demonstrates the potential of the concurrent assessment of inflammatory activity and ECM degradation by dual-probe molecular MRI in an experimental mouse model of AAA. Based on the combined information from both molecular probes the rupture of AAAs could reliably be predicted, with higher accuracy compared with each probe alone. The combined in vivo quantification of these biomarkers in 1 imaging session may be useful to improve the in vivo characterization of AAAs.

Die Kopplungen von Protein A und G konnten erfolgreich an Maus- und Human-IgG durchgeführt, sowie die Bedingungen untersucht und optimiert werden. Die Aktivierung von Protein G mit Glutaraldehyd erfolgt am besten bei pH 8 und die anschließende Kopplung mit Maus-IgG1 bei einem pH-Wert von 6. Jedoch wurden mit SIAB und Sulfo-SIAB als Crosslinker im Vergleich zu Glutaraldehyd noch höhere Signale erhalten. Für die Kopplung von SIAB sind 40% DMSO im Reaktionspuffer günstig, währenddessen Sulfo-SIAB gut wasserlöslich ist daher keine Lösungsvermittler benötigt. Es ergab sich ein optimaler pH-Wert von 7,4 um Protein A mit SIAB zu aktivieren und den gleichen pH-Wert um die Kopplung mit Maus-IgG1 durchzuführen. Für die Kopplung von Protein G mit Maus-IgG1 hingegen zeigten die Experimente, dass ein leicht saurer pH-Wert bei pH 6 für den IgG-Kopplungsschritt am günstigsten ist. Während die Inkubationszeit von Maus-IgG1 mit Protein G bei 16 h liegt, muss mit Protein A bis zu 40 h inkubiert werden, um das Kopplungsmaximum zu erreichen. Des Weiteren wurde das Crosslinking von Human-IgG (Herceptin) mit SIAB untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, wie in der Abbildung 47 zu sehen ist, dass Protein A und G vergleichbar gut an Human-IgG zu koppeln sind. Für das Crosslinking von Protein G mit Maus-IgG1 ist dagegen ein deutlich besserer Umsatz im Vergleich zu Protein A zu erkennen (Abbildung 48). Heterobifunktionale Linker können mit der reaktiveren Gruppe die erste Bindung eingehen, um erst nach Zugabe eines weiteren Reagenzes die zweite Bindung auszubilden und zudem intramolekulare Reaktionen möglichst zu vermeiden.

In recent years, bioconjugates were applied as compatibilizers and coatings. Biocombinatorial approaches, such as phage display, have been shown to yield strong binding peptides, which exhibit excellent coating properties as peptide-PEO conjugates. Phage display represents a widely exploited strategy to select peptides or proteins that exhibit highly specific affinity to various substrates. Following a phage display experiment, DNA sequencing of binding phage clones is required in order to get the sequence information of the binding peptides. Traditionally, random clone picking followed by Sanger sequencing was applied. However, this method may not necessarily identify the strongest binding clones. Next-generation sequencing made sequencing of whole phage libraries possible, which highly improved the selection of strong binders. Here, we show that the biocombinatorial method of phage display combined with next generation DNA sequencing of whole phage libraries represents a powerful tool for an application in material chemistry. Phage display is used to find specific target binding peptides for polypropylene surfaces (PP). PP binders are of particular interest because thus far gluing or printing on PP is challenging due to its low surface energy. Scripts for sequence data analysis were developed and promising sequences were synthesized as peptide-PEO conjugates. Fluorescence based adsorption experiments on PP surfaces led to the identification of strong binding sequences and a better understanding of the peptide-surface interactions.

The incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) is known to improve many key characteristics and provide new functionalities in polymer materials. Presented work aims to prepare and characterize an organic-inorganic coating material designed to bring together advantageous properties of hybrid materials and reinforcement effect delivered from the inorganic NPs embedment. Siloxane-based hybrid resins hold great advantages as coating materials as their properties can be tuned between those of polymers and those of glasses, thus, the compositions with superior thermal and mechanical properties can be achieved. We used Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Oligosiloxane (CEOS) resin as a polymeric matrix where the network formation was achieved by UV induced cationic polymerisation. Boehmite Alumina (BA) nanoparticles were added to CEOS resin as a reinforcing agent and resultant material was processed into films either by bar-coating or by spin-coating depending on further characterization procedure. Two different types of BA NPs, hydrophilic and organophilic, were used in order to assess the impact of particles surface on the resin characteristics. CEOS synthesis by condensation reaction was confirmed using 13C and 29Si NMR. Changes in CEOS photocuring process, resulting from particles incorporation, were monitored by real-time IR spectroscopy. At the same time, the thermal behaviour was evaluated by DSC and TGA methods. Morphology of the coatings was investigated by means of SEM operated in transmission mode. It was observed that BA presence increased the epoxy conversion degree and glass transition temperature. Material formulations providing best film characteristics were determined with regard to the particle type and loading. Compared to the hydrophilic nanoparticles, organophilic BA NPs yield superior overall performance of the foils.

However, the incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) into polymer matrix is a promising approach to enhance their functional characteristics, and thus, to enable the development of thermosets advanced application. It has been shown that Boehmite Alumina (BA) used as nanofillers can improve different parameters of polymers. This NPs can be easily tailored enabling desirable interactions with a big range of polymers. However, the overall effect of nanofiller depends on many factors, therefore, making it hard to predict the resulted performance of nanocomposites. In the current contribution we would like to discuss the impact of Boehmite NPs on two different epoxy resin nanocomposite systems with the focus on the possible influence mechanisms of this nanofiller. As the first system, UV curable Cycloaliphatic-Epoxy Oligosiloxane (CEOS) resin/Boehmite nanocomposites were investigated by FTIR, TGA, DSC and T-SEM. It was observed that incorporation of BA leads to the reinforcement of glass transition (Tg) and overall thermal stability indicating the attractive interactions between BA and CEOS network. In addition, an increase in epoxy conversion of CEOS was concluded for nanocomposites assuming that particles are involved in UV polymerisation processes. The second epoxy/Boehmite nanocomposite is based on the bisphenol-A-diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) cured with methyl tetrahydrophtalic acid anhydride (MTHPA). Thermomechanical as well as nanomechanical properties of this material were investigated by DMTA and IR spectroscopy and the advanced Intermodulation AFM, respectively. In contrast to the first system, it was found that BA leads to a decrease of Tg and crosslink density of the polymer while the young’s modulus of the composite and local stiffness of polymer matrix increase significantly. As a result, the versatile role of Boehmite was detected depending on the investigated systems. Based on the obtained results, the parameters indicating property-efficient epoxy/Boehmite system are suggested.

Simulations were performed for AuNP radii ranging from 2.5 nm to 20 nm radius, different cluster sizes and densities. The results show an increase of the energy deposit in the vicinity of the AuNP up to 150 nm. This effect nearly vanishes for distances up to one micron. For the case of AuNP clusters and the same activity, the enhancement of the energy deposit increases with the relative gold mass percentage and therefore can be adjusted by changing AuNP radius or clustering behaviour.

Diese lässt sich hinsichtlich ihres Elastizitätsmoduls und ihrer Bruchfestigkeit verbessern, indem Nanopartikel aus Böhmit (AlOOH) eindispergiert werden. Der Vortrag geht auf integrale und hochauflösend-bildgebende Methoden ein die ein Verständnis der komplexen Zusammenhänge ermöglichen. Nach einer chemischen in-situ Analyse des Aushärtvorgangs, aus welchem sich die Bedeutung der externer Parameter ablesen lässt, werden diverse hochauflösende, neue Methoden der Rasterkraftmikroskopie (AFM) eingeführt. Der lokalen Bestimmung des E-Moduls der Nanopartikel folgen Ausführungen zum temperaturabhängigen Chemismus des Böhmits, der während der Aushärtung Wasser freisetzt. Die hochauflösende Bestimmung der Oberflächenpotentiale, der Steifigkeit, der attraktiven Kräfte zwischen Spitze und Probe sowie der Energiedissipation im Kontakt stellen auf der Nanoskala eine komplexe Datenquelle dar, die auf der Makroskala einer Ergänzung bedarf: Durch Kombination von dynamisch-mechanisch-thermischer Analyse einerseits und Kartierung physikalischer Eigenschaften auf der Nanoskala andererseits kann der Zusammenhang zwischen chemischer Steuerung der Netzwerkbildung und den mechanischen Eigenschaften des Nanokomposits geklärt werden. Überraschend ist, dass bei geeigneter Steuerung der lokale E-Modul der Polymermatrix den des Füllstoffs übersteigt. Die Rissfortschrittsenergie wird in Böhmit-modifiziertem Epoxy verbessert absorbiert, die These dazu ist, dass die (010)-Gleitebenen, die nur durch Wasserstoffbrücken zusammen gehalten werden, einigermaßen schadlos geschert werden können. Daraus folgt, dass das System auf der Nanoskala über einen, wenn auch begrenzten, Selbstheilmechanismus verfügt. Zudem wird durch die hohe Heterogenität der Steifigkeit und Energiedissipation des Nanokomposits eine Risstrajektorie vielfach umgelenkt und somit früher gestoppt.

These equations are strictly valid only at absolute zero temperature. To include temperature effects a stochastic version of the LL or LLG equation for a spin density of one per unit cell can be used instead. To apply the stochastic LL to micromagnetic simulations, where the spin density per unit cell is generally higher, a conversion regarding simulation cell size and temperature has to be established. Based on energetic considerations, a conversion for ferromagnetic bulk and thin film systems is proposed. The conversion is tested in micromagnetic simulations which are performed with the Object Oriented Micromagnetic Framework (OOMMF). The Curie temperatures of bulk Nickel, Cobalt and Iron systems as well as Nickel thin-film systems with thicknesses between 6.3 mono layer (ML) and 31ML are determined from micromagnetic simulations. The results show a good agreement with experimentally determined Curie temperatures of bulk and thin film systems when temperature scaling is performed according to the presented model.

Beside macroscopic toughening nanoparticle reinforced polymers show a soft interface around boehmite (AlOOH) filler nanoparticles. A related strong interaction between boehmite and the anhydride cured resin system is widely suspected in literature but not determined by structural Analysis. Determination of the molecular structure is important to allow simulations approaching the real system and predict future reinforcing effects. DRIFT (diffuse refletance infrared fourier transformed) spectra of the boehmite reinforced anhydride cured epoxy show significant changes in the molecular structure compared to the neat polymer. Further investigations of the interactions between the single components of the resin system and the boehmite filler pointed out reactions between released water released from the boehmite filler and the anhydride hardener or amine accelerator. This leads to the discussion of competing polymerisation mechanisms that highly influence the polymer properties. Ongoing experiments and literature research approve that this impact of water is able to locally change the stoichiometrie, alter the curing mechanism or support an inhomogeneous crosslink density.

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.

The tailored surface functionalization is strongly enhanced by improved coupling protocols. Arbitrary variation of the functionalization degree is possible. Thereby the temperature stable APTES functionalization enables a wide range of functional groups. By TGA-MS analysis strong evidence for the bonding situation of the APTES on the boehmite surface has been found.
