T1 - Gold nanoparticle-catalyzed uranine reduction N2 - Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can catalyze the decolorization of organic dyes in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4), which can be utilized for sensitive optical signaling. Here, we monitor the catalytic reduction of a fluorescent substrate, exemplarily chosen uranine, by AuNPs serving as nanocatalysts by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Dye reduction is accompanied by dramatic changes in the absorption and fluorescence properties of uranine. As proposed reaction mechanism, we assume electron transfer between uranine and NaBH4 through the AuNPs nanocatalysts which is currently investigated also by time-resolved fluorescence and detailed spectroscopic studies of the influence of pH, NaBH4, and AuNPs on these effects. As ultimate goal, a model reporter platform with colorimetric andfluorometric signaling is anticipated for the detection of different analytes by coating AuNPs with affinity ligands such as antibodies and aptamers and and special separation methods.

A1 - Schmid, Thomas T1 - Granulierte Hochofenschlacke als Mörtelzuschlag im 19. Jahrhundert in der Schweiz N2 - Als schweizweit einziger Hersteller produzierte die Gesellschaft der Ludwig von Roll'schen Eisenwerke seit den 1870er Jahren granulierte Hochofenschlacke. Im Blashochofen von Choindez im Schweizer Jura wird bis Mitte der 1920er Jahre Bohnerz aus dem Delsberger Becken, das kontemporär publizierten Analysen zufolge als Spuren- bzw. Schwermetalle Titan, Chrom, Blei und Vanadium enthält, zu grauem Roheisen verhüttet. In zementgebundenen Mörtelmischungen des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts aus verschiedenen Regionen der Schweiz finden sich neben reliktischen Hüttensandsplittern vereinzelt bis zu fünfhundert Mikrometer große scharze Kugeln mit grünlichem Schimmer, wohl nicht gemahlener Schlackensand. Deren mittels Ramanmikroskopie (Phasenbestand) und energiedispersiver Röntgenspektroskopie am Rasterelektronenmikroskop (Elementanalytik) ermittelte Mineralogie ergibt in Form von Plattnerit PbO2, Rutil TiO2 und vermitlich Chromit Fe(II)Cr2O4 bzw. Nichromit (Ni,Co,Fe(II))(Cr,Fe(III),Al)2)4 Übereinstimmungen mit den nur die Elementzusammensetzung berücksichtigenden historischen Resultaten. Ebenfalls im Zusammenhang mit dem das Bohnerz begleitenden Boluston samt Huppererde zu sehen sind die Minerale Coelestin SrSO4 und Zirkon ZrSiO4, des Weiteren der Siliciumcarbidpolymorph Moissanit SiC als Reaktionsprodukt von Quarzsand und Brennstoff. Die Kohärenz zwischen um die Jahrhundertwende durchgeführten Analysen von Rohmaterial als auch Ofenbruch aus dem in Choindez betriebenen Hochofen und den in diesem Beitrag diskutierten Resultaten moderner analytischer Methoden spricht für den Gebrauch von granulierter Schlacke aus dem Hause Ludwig von Roll als Mörtelzuschlag. Die Hüttensandkörner, eigentlich latent hydraulisch, sind aufgrund der fehlenden Aufbereitung zu grob für eine effektive Hydratation und deshalb trotz reaktiver Glasphase und Klinkermineralien (Belit Ca2SiO4 und Monocalciumaluminat CaAl2O4) intakt in der Bindemittelmatrix erhalten. N2 - From the 1870s the Ludwig von Roll ironworks produced granulated blast furnace slag in Choindez (Jura, Switzerland) as a by-product of the smelting of bean ore excavated until 1926 in the Delsberg Basin. According to historical analyses, this iron ore deposit contais heavy and trace metals such as titanium, chromium, lead and vanadium. In mortar samples from different regions of Switzerland originating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, residues of granulated blast furnace slag are observable as angular glassy particles in the binder matrix. In addition, black spherical grains with greenish lustre (up to 500 micrometres in diameter), probably not ground granulated blast furnace slag, can be distinguished sporadically in thin sections. Raman microscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) measurements have revealed, inter alia, the presence of the crystalline components plattnerite PbO2, rutile TiO2 and presumably chromite Fe(II)Cr2O4 or nichromite (Ni,Co,Fe(II))(Cr,Fe(III),Al)2O4. These findings are consistent with historical analyses, which were restricted to the determination of the elemental (not phase) composition of the raw material processed by the Ludwig von Roll ironworks. Furthermore the minerals celestine SrSO4 and zircon ZrSiO4 can be linked to bean ore and bole from Delsberg, and likewise the silicon carbide moissanite SiC, which is a reaction product of quartz sand and coke. The coherence if the results of historical chemical analyses and of modern microscopic imaging and spectroscopy methods described here pinpoints the Ludwig von Roll ironworks as the most probable supplier of the granulated blast furnace slag that was added to the mortars under investigation. The unreacted remnants exhibit defined boundaries; no hydration rims are observable despite the glassy nature of the latent hydraulic aggregate, which contains cement clinker minerals (belite and calcium aluminate) as crystalline components. Not finely ground, the spheroids are too coarse for an effective hydration reaction and act as inert filler.

T1 - Gravimetric preparation and characterization of a primary reference solution of molybdenum N2 - Gravimetrically prepared mono-elemental reference solutions having a well-known mass fraction of approximately 1 g/kg define the very basis of virtually all measurements in inorganic analysis. Serving as the starting materials of all standard/calibration solutions, they link virtually all measurements of inorganic analytes to the purity of the solid materials they were prepared from. In case these solid materials are characterized comprehensively with respect to their purity, this link also establishes direct metrological traceability to The International System of Unit. Within the framework of the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP), in the Joint Research Project called SIB09 Primary standards for challenging elements, a reference solution of molybdenum was prepared directly from the respective metal with a relative expanded uncertainty associated with the mass fraction of Urel(w) < 0.05 %. A highly accurate and precise ICP OES and MC-ICP-MS method was developed to assist with the preparation and as a dissemination tool.

In einer Vergleichsstudie zur Haftfestigkeit von optischen und ophthalmischen Schichten wurde mit Hilfe der Zentrifugentechnologie der Einfluss verschiedener Parameter (Substratdicke, Oberflächenvorbehand-lung, Haftvermittler) auf die Haftfestigkeit optischer Schichten auf silikatischen und ophthalmischer Schichten auf polymeren Substraten untersucht. Zur Bestimmung der Haftfestigkeit in der physikalisch korrekten Dimension Kraft pro Fläche im Stirnabzug stehen die Ein-Proben-Prüfung mit der Zugprüfmaschine und die Mehr-Proben-Prüfung mittels Zentri- fugentechnologie zur Verfügung. Die Zentrifugentechnologie wurde ausgewählt, da die Prüfung von bis zu acht Proben unter nahezu identischen Versuchsbedingungen und somit eine statistisch gesicherte Bestimmung der Haftfestigkeit möglich sind. Es konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die Substratdicke einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die gemessene Haftfestigkeit hat. Dies entspricht den Erwartungen, da es sich bei der Haftfestigkeit um eine System- eigenschaft des Schicht-Substrat-Systems handelt. Bei den Delaminationsbrüchen (DF) konnte zwischen Delamination des metallischen Reflektors (DF-R) und Delamination des Dielektrikums (DF-D) unter- schieden werden. Im Fall hinreichender Haftfestigkeit der Beschichtung traten auch Adhäsionsbrüche am Interface zum und Kohäsionsbrüche im Klebstoff auf. Nachfolgende Untersuchungen werden sich mit alternativen Klebstoffen und weiterentwickelten Fügestrategien befassen. N2 - The quantitative determination of adhesive strength of coatings is essential for both R&D and quality assurance. In a comparative study on adhesive strength of optical and ophthalmic coatings, centrifuge technology has been used for the investigation of the influence of certain parameters (e.g. substrate thickness, surface-pretreatment and adhesion promoters) on adhesive strength of optical coatings on silicate and ophthalmic coatings on polymer substrates. For determination of adhesive strength in the correct dimension force per area in the pull-off test, only two tests are available, the single-sample test in a tensile testing machine and the multi-sample test by means of centrifuge technology. The centrifuge technology has been chosen because up to eight samples can be tested under almost identical testing conditions at the same time. Hence, a statistical evaluation of adhesive strength is feasible. It has been shown that substrate thickness has a remarkable influence on the measured adhesive strength. This fulfils the expectations as adhesive strength is a system property of the coating-substrate system. Regarding delamination failure (DF) it could be differentiated between the delamination of reflective coatings (DF-R) and delamination of dielectric coatings (DF-D). In case of sufficient adhesive strength of the coating, adhesion failure at the interface of and cohesion failure within the adhesive were also observed. Following studies will address alternative adhesives and advanced bonding strategies.

The influences of admixtures on the course of cement hydration and formation of hydrate phases have to be considered. Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based polymeric superplasticizers (SPs) are known to retard the setting of the cement paste. The extent of the retardation differs depending on the molecular structure of the SP. Additionally, the presence of a stabilizing agent (SA) in the cement paste has a retarding side effect on the setting. The initial cement hydration processes and the detailed mechanisms of the retardation influenced by PCEs, as well as their interactions with particular SAs, are insufficiently understood. Up to now, only the results of phenomenological studies were taken into account to describe this retardation process. A detailed structure analysis monitoring the change of the phase composition during the hydration was never applied. Both SP and SA affect the adsorption of the sulphate ions on the clinker particles, causing changes in the formation of ettringite during the initial hydration, and are therefore a crucial part of the setting process itself. Here, the initial hydration of cement influenced by the interaction of SP and SA was monitored in situ by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The high time resolution of the measurements allowed a continuous detection of the hydrates formed. The hydration was followed from the starting point of water addition and for couple of hours afterwards. The hydration of the levitated cement pellets containing starch as SA was initialized by adding aqueous solutions of different commercial SPs. Changes in the ettringite formation were detected in comparison to the reference hydration of pure cement.

The instrument is installed at the end of a curved neutron guide which avoids the direct line of sight towards the reactor core. This ensures a very low background of high-energy neutrons and. photons at the sample position. The cold neutron beam provides a wavelength range which is suitable for phase-and diffraction-contrast imaging such as grating interferometry and Bragg edge mapping. The instrument is well suited for high resolution imaging due to the high efficiency of the very thin scintillators that can be used for the detection of cold neutrons. An instrument upgrade was performed recently as a part of an upgrade program for the cold neutron instrumentation at HZB. The parameters of the instrument as well as some research highlights will be presented.
