In this contribution, chemical, structural, and mechanical alterations in the formation of femtosecond LIPSS are characterized by a variety of surface analytical techniques, including energy dispersive X-ray analyses (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), micro Raman spectroscopy (µ-RS), and depth-profiling Auger electron microscopy (AEM). Alternative routes of electrochemical and thermal oxidation allow to qualify the relevance of superficial oxidation effects on the tribological performance in oil lubricated reciprocating sliding tribological tests (RSTT). It is revealed that the fs-laser processing of near-wavelength sized LIPSS on metals leads to the formation of a few hundreds of nanometers thick graded oxide layers, consisting mainly of amorphous oxides. Regardless of reduced hardness and limited thickness, this nanostructured surface layer efficiently prevents a direct metal-to-metal contact in the RSTT and may also act as an anchor layer for specific wear-reducing additives contained in the used engine oil.

T1 - Large-area fabrication of low- and high-spatial-frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures on carbon fibers N2 - The properties of fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) or concretes (ECC) strongly depend on the interface between the fiber and the surrounding matrix. Different methods such as plasma oxidation, chemical or electrolytic etching and chemical vapor deposition have been investigated to increase, for example, the bonding strength. The present study deals with the functionalization of the fiber surface based on laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). They can be characterized as a modulation of the surface topography on the nano- and microscale that results from the irradiation of the surface with linearly polarized laser radiation close to the ablation threshold. According to their spatial period, LIPSS are classified into low-spatial frequency LIPSS (LSFL) and high-spatial frequency LIPSS (HSFL). The great potential of both types of LIPSS structures regarding functional surface properties was demonstrated in numerous investigations. The objective of the present study was the homogenous manufacturing of both types of LIPSS on large areas of carbon fiber arrangements without damage. The results are discussed based on a detailed analysis of the topographic and chemical surface properties.

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.

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.

The effectiveness of nanofillers on property enhancement of thermosetting polymers depends on many factors including the interaction between the functional groups of nanofillers and the polymer reactants. In the current work, we study the effect of boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) on properties of anhydride-cured bisphenol-A-diglycidyl ether (DGEBA). Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and a high-resolution force measurement approach called intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) were carried out to investigate the thermomechanical and nanomechanical properties of this material, respectively. It was found that BNPs lead to decrease of glass transition temperature (Tg) and crosslink density of the polymer network meanwhile significantly enhancing the Young’s modulus. Besides formation of a soft interphase near the particles, significant changes in local stiffness of polymer matrix far from the interphase was observed with ImAFM. Thus, boehmite induces long-range chemical alteration on the matrix. This effect has a higher impact on overall composite properties compared to the formation of interphase which is only a short-range effect. The local chemical evaluations on the soft interphase using an infrared-AFM method (NanoIR) revealed the accumulation of anhydride hardener near the boehmite interface. Based on these observations the effect of boehmite on the curing of epoxy is hypothesized to be governed by the strong interaction between boehmite and the anhydride. This interaction causes changes the ratio of reactants in the epoxy mixture and hence alteration of curing pathway and the network architecture. In future studies we examine this hypothesis by measuring the thermomechanical properties of cured epoxies in which the epoxy-hardener ratio is systematically altered and further comparing to those properties of nanocomposites shown in the current study.
