T1 - Standardization of spectroscopic ellipsometry as GUM-compliant accredited measurement method N2 - Ellipsometry has become a powerful measurement tool in semiconductor industry since the sixties of the last century. Early standardization activities focused exclusively on SiO2/Si (ASTM F 576-01, SEMI 3624). The first generic standard dealing with ellipsometry is DIN 50989-1:2018 Ellipsometry – Part 1: Principles. Standardization is a prerequisite for accreditation according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 and the evaluation of uncertainty budgets.

T1 - Degradation analysis of polypropylene in the presence of phosphorus and sulfur containing additives - TGA-FTIR N2 - Polyolefins as polypropylene are widely used in packaging, automotive, consumer goods, construction, infrastructure, agricultural film and other film and sheet applications. Due to their molecular structure, polyolefins inherently burn well. The wide and growing usage implements that fire retardancy of polyolefin products is necessary and gains more attention. Sulfurous additives with synergistic flame retarding effects were shown in polymers like polystyrene and polyolefins by Bellin et al. and Fuchs et al. earlier. For polystyrene compounds, Braun et al. revealed that thermal degradation in the presence of phosphorus and sulfurous additives changes massively. The total release, the composition, and the onset temperature of evolved decomposition products changes. For polypropylene, mixtures containing triphenyl phosphate (TPP), sulfur (S8) and poly(tertbutylphenol) disulphide (PBDS) (Table 1) were prepared and investigated via thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR).

The enhance surface-area-to-volume ratio of NPs is very high, making them excellent for use as catalyst, in analytical assays, and for antimicrobial applications. Nickel NPs have exhibited immense potential as important catalyst for the Sabatier reaction, i.e. converting waste to energy via transformation of CO2 into CH4, and could replace the rare earth elements such as Ru, PT, or Rh. In this work we describe the solvothermal synthesis of monometallic and bimetallic nickel nanoparticles. Monodisperse monometallic Ni nanoparticles were synthesized using Oleylamin as solvent and reducing agent. The nanoparticles were investigated using small angle scattering (SAXS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), showing that the catalytically active sites are accessible. However, Ni has a high propensity to undergo oxidation, and becoming deactivated by coke formation. Hence, we further explore the preparation of bimetallic NPs, where a second metal is added to stabilize the Ni. Bimetallic Cu-Ni NPs were synthesized by simultaneous solvothermal reduction. These bimetallic NPs exhibit excellent catalytic properties are promising candidates to be used as catalysts for efficient energy storage.

Nevertheless, L-PBF process is known to induce a high amount of residual stresses (RS) due to the high temperature gradients present during powder melting by laser. High tensile residual stresses are to be found the edges whereas the bulk material shows balancing compressive RS. Literature shows that the RS is highly sensitive to the process parameters. In particular, this study presents the characterization of the RS state in two L-PBF parts produced with a rastering scan vector that undergoes 90° or 67° rotation between subsequent layers.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Evolution of CFRP stress cracks observed by in situ X-ray refractive imaging N2 - Modern air-liners and wind turbine rotor blades are made up primarily of fiber reinforced plastics. Failure of these materials heavily impairs the serviceability and the operational safety. Consequently, knowledge of the failure behavior under static and cyclic loads is of great interest to estimate the operational strength and to compare the performance of different materials. Ideally, the damage evolution under operational load is determined with in-situ non-destructive testing techniques. Here, we report in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging of tensile stress induced cracks in carbon fiber reinforced plastics due to inter-fiber failure. An inhouse designed compact tensile testing machine with a load range up to 15 kN was integrated into the beamline. Since conventional radiographs do not reveal sufficient contrast to distinguish cracks due to inter-fiber failure and micro cracking from fiber bundles, the Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) technique is applied in order to separate primary and scattered (refracted) radiation by means of an analyzer crystal. This technique allows fast measurements over large fields-of-view and is ideal for in-situ investigations.

In order to utilize and rationally design materials at the nanoscale the reliable characterization of their physico-chemical properties is highly important. Furthermore, the European Commission has taken measures via the REACH Regulations to control the classification of nanomaterials. REACH Annexes which entered into force in January 2020 require manufacturers to register nanomaterials that are traded in larger quantities (at least 1 ton). Every powder or dispersion where 50% (number distribution) of the constituent particles have sizes ≤ 100 nm in at least one dimension are defined as a nanomaterial. This creates a need for both industrial manufacturers and research and analytical service facilities to reliably characterize potential nanomaterials. Currently, BAM is working on developing reference nanoparticles, which shall expand the scarce list of worldwide available nano reference materials certified for particle size distribution, but also targeting other key parameters such as shape, structure (including porosity) and functional properties. Thus, candidate materials are considered to complement the already available spherical and monodisperse silica, Au and polystyrene reference nanoparticles, e.g. iron oxide and titanium oxide, with an average atomic number between those of silica and gold. Particularly for the imaging by electron microscopies, new nanoparticles of well-defined size in the range of 10 nm are decisive for the accurate particle segmentation by setting precise thresholds. Statement of Contribution/Methods Synthesis: Highly monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles can be synthesized in large quantities by thermal decomposition of iron oleate or iron acetylacetonate precursors in high boiling solvents such as octadecene or dioctyl ether in the presence of oleic acid and oleylamine as capping agents. Scanning Electron Microscope: An SEM of type Supra 40 from Zeiss has been used including the dedicated measurement mode transmission in SEM (STEM-in-SEM) with a superior material contrast for the nanoparticle analysis. The software package ImageJ has been used for the analysis of the STEM-in-SEM images and to determine the particle size distribution. Dynamic Light scattering (DLS): Particles in suspension were measured in comparison by means of Zetasizer Nano (Malvern Panalytical; cumulants analysis) and NanoFlex (Microtrac; frequency power spectrum). Results/Discussion In this study iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized at BAM and pre-characterized by DLS, SEM (including the transmission mode STEM-in-SEM) are presented. The particles are spherical and highly monodisperse with sizes slightly larger than 10 nm.

B. für das Mülheimer Verfahren). Eine der Barrieren wird, als gezielte Behandlungs- oder Sicherheitsstufe, oft als Filter mit granulierter Aktivkohle (GAK-Filter) realisiert. Ihre Standzeit kann bei geringer Wasserbelastung (DOC < 2 mg/L), z. B. bei der Landeswasserversorgung Langenau, bis zu 5 Jahre betragen. Bei Rohwasser mit höherem Organikgehalt (DOC > 7 mg/L), wie bei der Nordwasser in Rostock, wird hingegen mindestens alle drei Jahre die GAK in den Filterkolonnen ausgetauscht. Die Rest-Adsorptionskapazität der GAK kann durch verschiedene Verfahren abgeschätzt werden, ist aber nach wie vor Gegenstand aktueller Forschung. Die weitergehende Charakterisierung der beladenen GAK kann hierbei helfen. Auf dem Poster sollen erste Ergebnisse zu den in Langenau und Rostock eingesetzten Aktivkohlen präsentiert werden. Hierzu wurden die frischen und nach unterschiedlichen Laufzeiten beladenen GAK untersucht. Die Zusammensetzung der Anorganik und der adsorbierten Organik, welche mittels Zersetzungs¬gasanalyse charakterisiert wurde, zeigt deutliche Unterschiede. Bspw. nimmt der Calcium-Gehalt der GAK in Langenau kontinuierlich zu, wohingegen dieser in den Proben aus Rostock mit zunehmender Laufzeit zurückgeht. Umgekehrt verhält es sich mit der Organik: Die GAK aus Rostock zeigen Hinweise auf biologische Besiedelung, während diese in Langenau trotz längerer Filterlaufzeit auszubleiben scheint. T2 - 4.

T1 - Conservation of damaged architectural aluminum elements N2 - Aluminum is an often-used building material in modern architecture. In recent years buildings from the 1950th and 1960th are increasingly subject of conservation works including the aluminum parts. Typical surface damages are signs of corrosion caused by weathering processes or scratches in the anodized layer due to extensive wear. To repair damaged aluminum surfaces, there are usually two options: smaller areas are repaired by using a touch-up pen, for larger damages it is necessary to remove the anodized layer completely. Both possibilities are disadvantageous for the objects; the touch-up pen often does not match the color together with an insufficient corrosion protection, while newly anodized layers often differ in color and gloss from the original surface. For this reason, a research project was initiated to develop a mobile method to repair anodized aluminum parts. The first step focusses on the mobile anodization process by using the electrolyte with a gel substrate. Different cathodic materials are to be tested together with appropriate cooling material. The anodized area should be isolated to protect undamaged areas. Examinations of the produced layers are conducted by using Keyence microscope, eddy current testing and ESEM analysis. Further steps are to transform the coloring and sealing process for mobile application. Color could be applied by using a brush or by spray while the sealing process could be performed with water vapor. An heatable putty knife could be used, if heating up the area will be necessary. Once the application process is developed, the anodization will be tested on samples with artificial damages, fixed in horizontal and vertical positions. The stability of the anodized surface will be examined by accelerated ageing in a climate chamber and outdoor weathering. The electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid) was combined with a gel binder to enable a mobile application. Several thickening agents were tested concerning their conductivity and stability in acid systems. Anodization tests with different cathodic material and shapes were conducted. The temperature during anodization was controlled and adjusted if necessary. The anodized area was restricted by using either a lacquer, an adhesive or a removable silicon barrier. The fist results show the feasibility of the method on enclosed areas. The achieved thickness was measured by eddy current testing and the structure was controlled by ESEM analysis. The examinations show a connection between thickness and porosity of the anodized layers and the temperature during the application process. Next steps are testing mobile coloring and sealing methods followed by mobile anodization on artificial damaged areas.

Regulatory test conditions shall cover these severe accident conditions and consist of mechanical tests and a following thermal test. To withstand the mechanical tests heavy weight packages are often designed with impact limiters consisting of wood encapsulated in steel sheets. The thermal test is defined precisely in the IAEA-regulations as a 30 minute fully engulfing 800 °C fire. After the fire phase a pre-damaged impact limiter might continue burning or smouldering and influence the cask thermal behaviour with its energy release. The energy transferred from the impact limiter to the cask is of importance for the safety of transport packages. A full-scale fire test with an impact limiter of 2.3 m in diameter and filled with spruce wood was designed and performed. The impact limiter continued burning for 3 days. Energy transfer and temperature measurements were performed.

T1 - CEQAT-DGHS Ringversuchsprogramm für die Chemikaliensicherheit - Schlussfolgerungen N2 - Die Ursachen für Chemikalienunfälle können vielfältig sein. Prävention beginnt bereits im Prüflabor, wenn Chemikalien auf ihre gefährlichen Eigenschaften getestet werden. Dazu sind Prüfmethoden entwickelt und veröffentlicht worden, die heute weltweit Anwendung finden. Auf die Validität der Prüfmethode und richtige Durchführung der Prüfung im Laboratorium müssen sich Sicherheitsfachkräfte, Transporteure oder Händler verlassen können. Anhand der in den letzten 10 Jahren im Rahmen des CEQAT-DGHS von BAM und PTB durchgeführten Ringversuche (RV) wird gezeigt, dass bei allen bisher untersuchten Prüfmethoden ein Verbesserungsbedarf besteht. Die RV müssen daher zunächst auf die Methodenverbesserung und -validierung abzielen und nicht auf Leistungstests. Das Labormanagement und die praktische Durchführung der Prüfung sind in vielen Laboratorien verbesserungsbedürftig.

A well-described protocol with polyethyleneimine (PEI) as amine precursor is used as a reference to a new CD system which is stabilized by aromatic 2,3-diaminopyridine (DAP) molecules instead. The DAP stabilizer is installed in order to red-shift the absorption peak of the n-π* electron transition allowing efficient radiative recombination and light emission. Size, shape, and chemical composition of the samples are determined by (HR)TEM, EDX and FTIR-spectroscopy. Optical parameters are investigated using UV-VIS, PL and QY measurements. Several parameters such as concentration, excitation wavelength and pH are studied. Zeta-potential analysis indicate that pH-induced (de-)protonation processes of functional moieties directly affect the n-π* energy bands. This results in unique pH-dependent absorption and emission characteristics which are discussed on the specific chemical composition of each CD system.

In this study, a butt configuration of 20 mm thick structural steel and transparent quartz glass was used to observe the weld pool geometry in the partial penetration mode by means of a high-speed camera. The observations show that the dimensions of the weld pool vary depending on the depth. The areas close to the weld pool surface take a teardrop-shape. A bulge-region and its temporal evolution were observed approximately in the weld pool root. Additionally, a 3D transient thermal-fluid numerical simulation was performed to obtain the weld pool shape and to understand the formation mechanism of the observed bulging effect. The model considers the local temperature field, the effects of phase transition, thermo-capillary convection, natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties. The numerical results showed good accordance and were furthermore used to improve the understanding of the experimentally observed bulging effect.

T1 - CEQAT-DGHS Interlaboratory tests for method validation and measurement uncertainty determination N2 - An explosion in a chemical plant or a fire on a dangerous goods vessel - the reason for such accidents can be numerous. Prevention starts in the laboratory where chemicals are tested for their hazardous properties in order to be able to assess the risks involved in their handling. For this purpose, test methods have been developed and published. They are applied globally nowadays. Safety experts, manufacturers, suppliers, importers, employers or consumers must be able to rely on the validity of safety-related test methods and on correct test results and assessments in the laboratory. Interlaboratory tests play a decisive role in assessing the reliability of test results. Participation in interlaboratory tests is not only a crucial element of the quality assurance of laboratories; as such it is explicitly recommended in DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. In addition, interlaboratory tests are also used to develop and validate test methods and can be used for the determination of the measurement uncertainty. Interlaboratory tests on different test methods have been performed by Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung (BAM) and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in collaboration with the QuoData GmbH during the last 10 years. Significant differences between the results of the participating laboratories were observed in all interlaboratory tests. The deviations of the test results were not caused only by laboratory faults but also by deficiencies of the test method (see interlaboratory test reports of the CEQAT-DGHS Centre for quality assurance for testing of dangerous goods and hazardous substances: www.ceqat-dghs.bam.de). In view of the interlaboratory test results the following conclusions can be drawn: • To avoid any discrepancy on classification and labelling of chemicals it should become state of the art to use validated test methods and the results accompanied by the measurement uncertainty. • A need for improvement is demonstrated for all examined test methods. Thus, interlaboratory tests shall initially aim at the development, improvement and validation of the test methods (including the determination of the measurement uncertainty) and not on proficiency tests. • The laboratory management and the practical execution of the tests need to be improved in many laboratories. • The term "experience of the examiner" must be seen critically: A "long experience with many tests" is not necessarily a guarantee for correct results.

Moreover, due to the toxicity of most inorganic conversion coating systems, the development of novel pre-treatment strategies for technical alloys are of vital importance. The aim of this study is to develop polymeric bilayer thin films for corrosion protection of Mg-alloys. As polymer matrix, poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) was selected due to its semiconducting properties and protonic conductivity. In contrast to ICPs with electronic conductivity, the pH-dependant, reversible protonation/de-protonation capability of the P4VP has been utilized to synthesize environment-responsive coatings. Polyacrylicacid (PAA) was tested as crosslinking layers to improve interfacial interactions between the polymeric layers. The macroscopic corrosion properties of the bilayer coatings were investigated by means of electrochemical methods such as linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in corrosive media simulating technical and biomedical applications.

However, the applicability of Mg and its alloys is hindered by its high corrosion susceptibility. Moreover, due to the toxicity of most inorganic conversion coating systems, the development of novel pre-treatment strategies for technical alloys are of vital importance. Recently, the application of intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) have been introduced as an alternative approach for corrosion protection of Mg alloys. ICPs with electronic conductivity are known to be able to passivate small defects, however they fail in the presence of large defects due to fast coating reduction and increased cation transport if macroscopically extended percolation networks exist.

In this study, state of the art electron microscopy was correlated with X‐ray refraction techniques to elucidate the intrusion of CMAS into the porous structure of atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) TBCs and the formation and growth of cracks under thermal cycling in a burner rig. Results indicate that the sparse nature of the infiltration as well as kinetics in the burner rig are majorly influenced by the wetting behavior of the CMAS. Despite the obvious attack of CMAS on grain boundaries, the interaction of yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with intruded CMAS has no immediate impact on structure and density of internal surfaces. At a later stage the formation of horizontal cracks is observed in a wider zone of the TBC layer.

As subcritical crack growth (SCCG) is governed by ambient humidity, stress corrosion at the crack tip is widely accepted to be the underlying mechanism. However, as water is known to have decisive effect on glass properties and can rapidly enter the crack tip near glass region, SCCG could be affected by such water related phenomena. We tried to mimic these effects studying water dissolution and speciation, mechanical properties, and SCCG in water-bearing glasses. For this purpose, glasses up to 8 wt% water have been prepared by means of high-pressure melting of glass powder - water mixtures. As part of this effort, SCCG in dry and hydrous commercial micros¬cope slide glass (CW = 6 wt%) was studied in double cantilever beam (DCB) geometry and sub-Tg relaxation was measured by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). For SCCG in ambient air (24% r.h.), SCCG was promoted by the presence of 6wt% bulk water with respect to the dry glass. On the other hand, stress intensity values, KI, required to cause slow crack growth (v < 10-6 ms-1) resemble literature findings for float glass of similar composition in liquid water, which might represent the maximum possible promoting effect of ambient water on SCCG. For SCCG in vacuum (10-3 mbar), dissolved bulk water causes even more pronounced effects. Most strikingly, it strongly decreases the slope of the log v(KI)-curve, which is a measure of dissipated energy during fracture. A strong increase of sub-Tg relaxation with increasing water content was confirmed by DMA. As a consequence, slow crack growth occurs at KI values as measured in the dry glass whereas fast crack growth occurs at much larger KI than that of the dry glass. Kinks and shoulders shown by the inert log v(KI)-curve indicate that bulk water does not simply affect bulk mechanical properties.

Typically, these applications require further functionalization of the particles with, e.g., antifouling ligands, targeting bioligands, stimuli-responjsive caps, or sensor molecules. Besides serving as an anchor point for subsequent functionalization, the surface chemistry of these particles also fundamentally influences their interaction with the surrounding medium and can have a significant effect on colloidal stability, particle uptake, biodistribution, and particle toxicity in biological systems. Moreover, functional groups enable size control and tuning of the surface during the synthesis of particle systems. For these reasons, a precise knowledge of the chemical nature, the total number of surface groups, and the number of groups on the particle surface that are accessible for further functionalization is highly important. In this contribution, we will will discuss the advantages and limitiations of different approaches to quantify the amount of commonly used surface functional groups such as amino,[1,2] carboxy,[1,2] and aldehyde groups.[3] Preferably, the quantification is carried out using sensitive and fast photometric or fluorometric assays, which can be read out with simple, inexpensive instrumentation and can be validated by complimentary analytic techniques such as ICP-OES and quantitative NMR.

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.

Solid-state multi-band emitters like lanthanide doped up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) show excellent photostability, are excitable in the near infrared (NIR), and show emission bands from the UV to SWIR spectral regions. The optical properties of these materials strongly depend on the excitation power density, i.e., the number of photons absorbed per time interval. The upconversion (ΦUC) and downshifting quantum efficiencies (ΦDS) of these materials, the excitation power dependent population, and the deactivation dynamics are influenced by nanoparticle architecture, doping concentration, and the microenvironment. We studied the fundamental changes of the luminescence properties of ß-NaYF4 UCNPs doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ depending on size, different surroundings such as aqueous and organic media, and different surface chemistries. We obtained further insights into shelling procedures, FRET optimization, influence of doping concentration, and advantages of different sensitizer ions.

As, in the past, the advantages in ageing resistance and durability were highly evaluated, we now face the problem of quite stable plastic waste within the environment. However, there is only little knowledge on the real timescales until macroscopic fragmentation for the different kinds of plastic under various environmental conditions. Here, weathering methods are presented, which have been used for the failure prediction in specific outdoor conditions. Issues of uncertainty, reproducibility, or validation are discussed. For the prediction of the plastic’s fragmentation, much longer time scales have to be considered. To do this within a limited project life span, various processes as well as their acceleration potential have to be evaluated separately, such as temperature increase or spectral shift. The possibilities and limitations of such controlled acceleration will be discussed.

Almost all strategies utilizing fluorescence focus on spectrally distinguishable emission bands or colors and different intensity levels as fluorescence codes. The fluorescence parameter lifetime has been, however, barely exploited. In this work the goal is to perform multiplexing with encoding fluorophores with different fluorescence lifetimes (LTs). In comparison to the spectral multiplexing strategies this has the advantage, that the different fluorescence LT codes can be measured with the excitation and emission wavelength, thus reducing instrument costs. Moreover, LTs should not depend on emitter concentration. Unlike organic dyes, the LTs of which are typically < 10 ns, the fluorescence LTs of ternary semiconductor QDs that represent a “green” alternative to conventional Cd-containing QDs are in the range of several hundred ns, independent of oxygen concentration, and can be tuned to a certain extent by chemical composition and surface chemistry. This present a time region that can be barely covered by other emitters that have either much shorter or longer lifetimes. In this project, different encoding strategies will be assessed and the encoded particles will be then used for fluorescence assays for the analysis of several targets in parallel. Therefor the encoded particles will be functionalized with different target-specific bioligands and read out with a specifically designed flow cytometer enabling time-resolved fluorescence detection. With this instrument, the particles will be discriminated by their fluorescence LTs In one detection channel while the analytes will be quantified by fluorescence labels in a second channel in the intensity domain.

Particularly, squeeze casting production of Al-Si alloys is employed in the conception of metal matrix composites (MMC) for combustion engines. Such materials are of a high interest since they allow combining improved mechanical properties and reduced weight and hence improve efficiency. Being a multiphase material, most MMCs show complex micromechanical behavior under different load conditions. In this work we investigated the micromechanical behavior of two MMCs, both consisting of a near-eutectic cast AlSi12CuMgNi alloy, one reinforced with 15%vol. Al2O3 short fibers and the other with 7%vol. Al2O3 short fibers + 15%vol. SiC particles. Both MMCs have complex 3D microstructure consisting of four and five phases: Al-alloy matrix, eutectic Si, intermetallics, Al2O3 fibers and SiC particles. The in-situ neutron diffraction compression experiments were carried out on the Stress-Spec beamline and disclosed the evolution of internal phase-specific stresses in both composites. In combination with the damage mechanism revealed by synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SXCT) on plastically pre-strained samples, this allowed understanding the role of every composite’s phase in the stress partitioning mechanism. Finally, based on the Maxwell scheme, a micromechanical model was utilized. The model perfectly rationalizes the experimental data and predicts the evolution of principal stresses in each phase.

Among stakeholders in nanotechnology, however, there is often uncertainty about the quality of data for regulatory purposes. In addition, the general public often finds itself excluded from nanoregulation and policy decisions. This creates uncertainty in the nanotechnology field and also in other branches of technology and leads to concerns among the society. To address these issues, NANORIGO elaborates a framework to support decision making as well as data, information and knowledge sharing and use. We refer to “reliability” of data and knowledge as a degree of readiness or maturity. According to these criteria we worked out a 9-level scale in analogy to TRL (technology readiness level), the KaRL system (Knowledge, Data and Information Readiness Level). KaRL allows assessment of knowledge readiness for decision making by applying defined quality criteria for each level. It also provides guidance on how to enhance the readiness level by the help of available tools and procedures. KaRL addresses SEIN[1] principles, circular economy and thus involves the public concerns in regulation. A specialized nanorisk governance council (being under development in NANORIGO) is suggested to perform quality check of an actionable document, thus, aiding in consensus on the reliability (maturity) of knowledge for decision making. Moreover, KaRL facilitates traceability of knowledge before its use in decision making. This enables the transparency demanded by all stakeholders.

Thermal treatment at 90°C can accelerate the strength development so that the 28-days-strength can be achieved immediately after the treatment and an additional increase up to 30 % in some cases. The reason for the strength development is an accelerated hydration of the clinker minerals and an intensified pozzolanic reaction leading to a denser microstructure. In previous research inhomogeneities in form of a zonation after unprotected thermal treatment were observed and analysed in respect to changes in the microstructure. This zonation is defined by a different microstructure in the core compared to the outer zone in the matter of porosity, mineral phase composition and a significant change in the potassium and sulphur concentration of the zones is measurable. To isolate different transport mechanisms responsible for these element distributions UHPC samples were thermally treated at 90 °C and the microstructure was investigated under dry conditions and after immersion in water to investigate the influence of dehydration during and rehydration after the thermal treatment on the microstructure. Through durability testing via water absorption, water vapour diffusion, permeability testing and sulfuric acid resistance transport mechanisms like diffusion, migration, capillary suction are under investigation in correlation with the microstructure analysis. For the microstructure analysis measurements with µXRF, mercury intrusion porosity, XRD and SEM were conducted.

The increase of the specific surface area due to the utilization of finer powders as raw materials makes the production of granules of demanded quality more sophisticated. Innovations regarding additives as well as process engineering are therefore required. While conventional spray granulation processes of ceramic materials are based on rotational, one stream or two stream nozzles for nebulization, the investigations in the ZIM project concentrate on the applicability of an ultra sound atomizer unit. A spray dryer comprised of the aforementioned ultra sound atomization unit implemented in a commercial spray dryer (Niro, Denmark) was used as test system. Potential advantages of the ultra sound nebulization are investigated for model systems of alumina, zirconia and a ZTA composite while focusing on solids content, yield, pressability and granule properties (size, size distribution, flowability, shape and microstructure) as well as the final sinter body properties (density, microstructure and flexural strength). First ultra sound spray drying experiments yielded granules with excellent processability. Spray drying of identical slurries, as before tested and optimized for a two stream nozzle atomization process, resulted in a more suitable size distribution for dry pressing (less particles below 20 µm) and a higher yield. Furthermore, sinter bodies produced of ultra sound granules seem to have less large pores and a more homogenous microstructure T2 - 92.

Figure 3 displays temperatures of the tank wall and of the gas phase over testing time. It can be seen that a complete coating strongly delayed the heating of tank wall and gas phase, whereas the partly coated tanks only had a minor influence on temperature development. There was no significant difference between a half coated and a thirdly coated tank measurable. Figure 4 shows the internal pressure of tanks over testing time. Only the fully coated tank enabled a low pressure over 90 min testing time. Hence, a complete coating is necessary to guarantee the fire safety of hazmat tanks and a partly coating is not sufficient.

Early indicators for the deterioration of polymer materials are e.g., physical or mechanical properties like tensile strength, adhesion, brittleness, and color. It is well-known, however, that predominantly chemical changes are the underlying process of the physical changes that occur in organic materials upon aging over time. Typical initial steps during polymer degradation are crosslinking or chain breaking, alteration of autofluorescence, “yellowing” or bleaching caused by the formation of new functional groups. A straightforward strategy towards the sensitive detection and monitoring of chemical changes in the course of polymer aging is based on non-destructive optical measurements. Luminescence techniques, one of the most sensitive spectroscopic methods are the method of choice. Here, we present first results of luminescence-based monitoring of polymer degradation induced by different environmentally relevant weathering factors (e.g. humidity and UV exposure). Our studies include fluorescence spectroscopy as well as spectral scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy and clearly demonstrate the possibility to follow accelerate-aging processes by luminescence detection.

Successful prevention of MIC requires the localization of first signs of corrosion as well as the identification of factors influencing the corrosion process. Hence, there is a growing need for sensitive and preferably inexpensive tools that enable the early detection of MIC. Of utmost importance are methods, which provide spatially and time-resolved information and allow the determination of corrosion rates at sites of interest for possible prevention of MIC.

They can be formed utilizing three building blocks, namely a polyol or long-chain diol, a chain extender or short-chain diol, and a diisocyanate. The derived multi-phase block copolymer has thermoplastic properties and is called thermoplastic PU (TPU). This modular approach allows for a variety of alternations yielding a broad range of structural properties and applications. TPUs are based on three main classes of polyols, i.e. polyethers, polyesters, and polycaprolactones. With these different polyols and the ability of changing the ratio of building blocks a variety of material properties can be obtained thus TPUs find numerous applications in e.g. lightweight construction1, insulation, flame retardants, lacquer and glue, as well as medicine. Linear, isocyanate terminated, polyurethane prepolymers prepared from non-equivalent amounts of diisocyanate such as methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) attached to a polyol are widely used as precursors of the correspondent polymers. Chain-extending reactions with low molecular weight compounds bearing different amounts of active hydrogens enable both linear and crosslinked polyurethane to be formed. Due to TPUs being used in a broad range of applications facing a variety of stress (e.g. mechanical, hydrolytic, thermal, radiative/UV, as well as its combinations) the complexity of possible degradation mechanism is high. A functional group derived from degradation of the bulk matrix can be detected utilizing a suited fluorogenic sensor molecule. There are several fluorogenic dyes known for the application as sensor for amine groups e.g. fluorescamine, pyrylium dyes, deriving a fluorescent signal upon reaction.

The Advantages of fast reactions in high purity and yield face a lack of understanding the underlying mechanism. Therefore, in situ setups to study mechanochemical reactions have been established. Herein, we present an in situ investigation of the mechanochemical cocrystal formation of pyrazinamide (PZA) with pimelic acid (PM) using synchrotron XRD. Two new polymorphs of PZA:PM (1:1) were synthesized by milling the starting materials in milling jars of different materials. While Form I is only obtained using a steel jar, Form II can be obtained purely in jars made of Perspex. In situ XRD experiments reveal a direct formation of Form II in Perspex and an intermediate formation of Form II in steel jars converting to Form I upon further grinding. Heating experiments and DFT calculations predict that Form II is the thermodynamically more stable polymorph. Therefore, the reaction progress in the steel jar contradicts Ostwald’s rules of stages as the more stable Form II converts into the metastable Form I. Hence, mechanochemistry offers the possibility to synthesize new materials that cannot be obtained using conventional methods.

Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing. The present study aims to evaluate the bulk residual stresses in SLM parts by using neutron diffraction measurements performed at E3 line -BER II neutron reactor- of Helmholtz-Zentrum für Materialien und Energie (HZB) Berlin. Together with microstructure characterization and distortion measurements, it is possible to describe the stress state throughout the whole sample. The sample was measured in as-build condition (on a build plate) and after releasing from the build plate. The used material is the nickel based superalloy 718. This alloy is widely used in aerospace and chemical industries due to its superior corrosion and heat resistant properties. Obtained results indicated different residual stress states for each of the transversal, longitudinal and normal component. The normal and transversal component exhibits a rather compressive behavior while the longitudinal was tensile in the center part of the sample and became compressive towards the tip. As expected, the absolute values of all stress components decreased after releasing the sample from the building plate. A surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) allowed us to present top surface distortion before and after releasing. The top surface showed a distortion around ±80µm after releasing. Microstructure evolution in the scanning-building cross-section is largely dominated by columnar grains. In addition, many small random orientated grains are prominent in the regions of a laser overlap during SLM. In summary, for the sample of superalloy 718 manufactured by SLM, a small distortion occurred when removing the sample from the build plate whereby the residual stress state decreases. Moreover, the observed columnar grains in the building direction could give a reason for the lowest stress values in that normal direction. However, the most important parameter controlling the residual stresses is the temperature gradient. Hence, future investigations are planned for a different scan strategy to distribute the laser impact in a more homogenous manner.

In our work, all the single electrodes are identical stainless steel X5CrNi18-10 (1.4301) wire electrodes. Using a multielectrode analyser all single electrodes are connected via zero resistance ammeters, simulating a galvanically coupled single electrode surface. The advantage of the multielectrode analyser (MMA) is that the currents flowing between single electrodes can be measured. Thus, real-time maps can be generated indicating where anodic and cathodic areas lie on the surface of the multielectrode and how they behave. The combination of the multielectrode analyser with the scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) enables the identification of corrosion sites and the detailed electrochemical analysis.

The coatings were deposited at inert Ar gas and reactive Ar/O2 gas mixture by RF magnetron sputtering or DC pulsed magnetron sputtering with settable RF bias on the substrates.

The ever-increasing interest in this method is contrasted by a limited mechanistic understanding of the mechanochemical reactivity and selectivity. Time-resolved in situ investigations of milling reactions provide direct insights in the underlying mechanisms. We recently introduced a setup enabling in situ investigation of mechanochemical reactions using synchrotron XRD combined with Raman spectroscopy. The specific combination allows to study milling processes comprehensively on the level of the molecular and crystalline structure and thus obtaining reliable data for mechanistic studies. In situ Raman spectroscopy coupled with thermography revealed a low temperature increase during milling reactions due to the mechanical impact and clear temperature increases because of the reaction heat. Based on the data, temperature rises as postulated in the magma plasma and hot spot theory can be excluded for soft matter milling syntheses. Our results indicate that in situ investigation of milling reactions offer a new approach to tune and optimize mechanochemically synthesized compounds.

Using X-ray absorption tomography we have determined the 3D shape of an unreacted Nb3Sn 11 T dipole Rutherford cable, and of a reacted and impregnated Nb3Sn cable double stack. State-of-theart image processing was applied to correct for tomographic artefacts caused by the large cable aspect ratio, for the segmentation of the individual wires and subelement bundles inside the wires, and for the calculation of the wire cross sectional area and shape variations. The 11 T dipole cable cross section oscillates by 2% with a frequency of 1.24 mm (1/80 of the transposition pitch length of the 40 wire cable). A comparatively stronger cross sectional area variation is observed in the individual wires at the thin edge of the keystoned cable where the wire aspect ratio is largest.

Studies on microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) focus mainly on sulphate reducing Bacteria (SRB), leading to the assumption that they are exclusively responsible for metal corrosion. In fact, methanogenic Archaea are known to be involved in metal corrosion as well (e.g. Methanococcus maripaludis DSM 2067). In some cases SRB and methanogenic Archaea have comparable high corrosion rates. However, the underlying mechanisms causing corrosion are still unknown. The goal of this study is to develop suitable methods for analyzing two environmental isolates (M. maripaludis DSM 2067, M. maripaludis KA1) and two human-related isolates (Methanobrevibacter oralis and Methanobrevibacter smithii) for their ability to deteriorate/transform metals, which are relevant for technical and clinical applications. Moreover, the studies will provide essential information on the interaction mechanisms of human-related Archaea, which are frequently found in peri-implantitis, with dental material such as implants, crowns and bridges leading to their degradation and transformation.

The gold mosaics examinded originate mainly from germany from 1880 to 1920 and are composed of three parts. They consist of a matching support glass, the gold or silver layer and a cover glass. By examining the morphology and layer thicknesses with the ESEM, and using chemical analysis with the EDX, the relationship of glass composition and damage patterns was established. The glass analysis provided quantitative composition data and made it possible to determine its chemical stability. It supplied the basis for calculating glass characteristics and was referred to when casting suitable historical mosaic glass. The analysis of the qualitative composition of the gold and silver layers also served as a model for reconstruction. After testing selected reconstructed gold mosaics in the climate chamber, the ESEM was used for capturing leaching and other process data and the glass composition was optimized accordingly. Over 100 predominantly historical gold mosaics were analyzed and the results entered into a database which can now be consulted for comparative investigations to determine both origin and date.

For petrophysical applications there are several different NMR laboratory devices commercially available varying over a wide range of e.g. magnetic field strength / frequency (2 MHz to 30 MHz), applicable measurement protocols (T1, T2, T1-T2, T2-D, etc.) and sample sizes (2.5 cm to 10 cm in diameter). In this work we present NMR measurements, layed out in a round robin like manner, on a set of 20 sandstone samples. We use three different NMR devices containing two standard setups with homogenous magnetic fields (LIAG and RWTH) and one single-sided setup with gradient field (BGR) to measure T1 and T2 relaxation data. In our evaluation we especially focus on the comparison of the individually inverted relaxation time distributions to quantify the differences arising from different laboratory setups. Diverging results can be deduced on the one hand to the inherit differences between homogeneous and gradient fields but on the other hand also due to quality differences between the two homogeneous setups. Additionally, we also examine the influence of the individually chosen inversion parameters (signal processing, distribution sampling points, error weighting, regularization, etc.) to establish a general standardized best practice recommendation for future petrophysical NMR laboratory measurements.

From the scientific point of view, AAO is a topical interest in soft matter fields. Spatial confinement of soft matter in nanoporous media influences its structure, thermodynamics, and mobility. Embedding polymers and liquid crystals into nanopores of AAO results in a 2D nanoconfinement of these materials. This confinement affects their properties, compared to the bulk, such as phase transition temperatures and enthalpies, molecular mobility, and architecture of the crystallization. On the other hand, discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) are a promising class of soft matter for electronic applications. This is due to their ability to organize and stack themselves into columns in a hexagonal columnar mesophase, a mesophase in between the plastic crystalline and isotropic phase, driven by the overlap of the π orbitals of their aromatic core. This leads to a high charge-carrier mobility along the column axis. Further, these columns could then be considered as “molecular nanowires”. In this study, 2,3,6,7,10,11 hexakis[hexyloxy] triphenylene (HAT6), a triphenylene based DLC, was confined into nanoporous AAO membranes. The structure, dynamics and the phase behavior of the confined HAT6 were investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). HAT6 was embedded into nanoporous AAO membranes by melt infiltration in the isotropic phase under argon atmosphere. The membranes have parallel aligned cylindrical nanopores, with pore diameter of 10, 20, 25, 40, 80, 120 and 180 nm. The filling degree for each sample was checked by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in order to ensure complete filling. Bulk HAT6 forms a hexagonal columnar phase; in between the isotropic phase above 371 K and the plastic crystalline phase below 340 K. Unlike the bulk, the confined HAT6 split the plastic crystalline-to-hexagonal columnar phase transition in two, which might be interpret as two different phase structures; close to the wall and at the pore center. Moreover, the isotropic-to-columnar transition of the confined HAT6 shifted, with decreasing pore diameter, to lower temperatures. Furthermore, pore surfaces of a series of membranes were chemically modified, resulting in a more hydrophobic pore surface than the unmodified ones. HAT6 was embedded into the modified membranes by the same aforementioned preparation. The influence of the changed host-guest-interaction, on the structure, dynamics, and the phase behavior of HAT6 confined in the modified membranes, was also investigated by BDS and DSC.

Eine etablierte Methode der Schweißnahtnachbehandlung ist das Strahlen der Oberfläche mit Glasperlen.

While ceramics have been extensively investigated in this regard, additive manufacturing of geopolymers have received much less attention to date. In the present contribution we study a ‘standard’ metakaolin-based geopolymer, a fly ash-based geopolymer and a silica-based one-part geopolymer regarding their suitability for additive manufacturing via selective laser curing. Model geometries such as bars and cuboids could be produced by this route. After selective laser curing the specimens were additionally cured at 80 °C for 24 h. The specimens were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM showed that the precursors in all geopolymers had reacted partially and geopolymeric gel had formed. XRD confirmed these results and additionally revealed that the crystalline byproducts (zeolites) in the one-part geopolymer differed from the byproducts observed in conventionally produced samples. This indicates that also the geopolymerization reactions differ between the two synthesis routes. The mechanical strength after selective laser curing and 80 °C-curing appeared to be highest for the metakaolin-based geopolymer. However, SEM also showed that a significant volume of macropores remained in most regions of all specimens, while some regions in the metakaolin-based geopolymer appeared to be significantly denser. These preliminary results demonstrate that selective laser curing offers potential for the production of geopolymers, but more research has to be undertaken to optimize the process. T2 - 92.

Biosynthetic fuels like biodiesel might replace conventional petrochemical fuels. In this study the influence of microbial growth on biodiesel and diesel on the storage tank systems were investigated. Polymeric fuel storage tanks for diesel and biodiesel provide suitable environmental conditions for a broad spectrum of fungi and various bacteria, including cyanobacteria and aerobic heterotrophic, and even anaerobic, fermentative Bacteria. However, the questions whether and how ageing of the materials is affected by biofouling processes have not been answered so far. Therefore, a model system for biofilm formation was established to study the initial attachment phase of bacteria in dependency of ageing, quality and surface modification of thermoplastic polymers used for storage tank systems. The microbial survey is closely connected with a detailed characterization of the material’s properties and its ageing processes. A widely applied plastic used for fuel storage tanks is high-density polyethylene (PE-HD), which is available with various additives to increase UV-light stability and even for the storage of biodiesel. These materials were aged under UV-light and temperature using a defined climate chamber set-up. Further, the repeated filling of fuels was mimicked for such storage tanks, as this has an important impact on the life-cycle length for the storage Container. The aged polymers showed a significant change in the material’s characteristics, including surface characteristics (e.g. hydrophobicity) and carbonyl groups. The effect of the changed material properties on the biofilm formation are studied using bacterial isolates, previously obtained from a “dieselpest”, and as a model-reference E. coli. The unaged polymers showed already some significant differences for the initial attachment of E. coli K12. Polyethylene with additives was colonized faster than the reference material (without additives) although the final biofilm coverage was not impaired. Likewise, the settlement of a kerosene-isolated Bacillus species on the unaged materials independently of additives was only minor interfered. In future, our results should give stakeholders in industry and public authorities a better estimation of the life-cycle security for fuel storage tank systems and on the fuel quality. Further, our results could help to test and develop new materials or additives to prevent biofouling processes.

Because of its low intrinsic hydrogen permeability, glass has a huge potential in modern concepts of hydrogen storage. Previous studies on oxidic glasses showed an empirical connection between glass composition and gas permeation, which was mainly derived from the behavior of silica glass. In this study we focus on the relationship between topologic (free volume; network polymerization) and thermodynamic (configurational entropy) parameters. The comparison of three glasses within the meta (earth-) alkaline alumino silicate system to silica glass shows that an increase of the atomic packing factor (APF) does not necessarily decrease the permeability. Furthermore, the results suggest a connection between ΔCp at Tg and hydrogen permeability of the glass. All experiments were performed assuming that chemical hydrogen solubiltity in glass is negligible at temperatures well below the glass transition temperature. T2 - 91.

Hiermit steigt die Nachfrage nach zuverlässigen, zerstörungsfreien Prüfmethoden, welche an solche Strukturen angepasst sind. Besonders Luftultraschall (LUS) eignet sich für diese Aufgabe, da hier kein Koppelmedium benötigt wird. Derzeit wird für diese Methode jedoch oft ein beidseitiger Bauteilzugang für eine Prüfung in Durchschallung vorausgesetzt. Handelsübliche Prüfköpfe für Luftultraschallanwendungen nutzen zudem meist Anpassschichten um den Impedanzunterschied zwischen Schwinger und Luft zu reduzieren. Sowohl Signal-Rausch-Abstand als auch die Bandbreite der resultieren-den Prüfköpfe ist für viele Anwendungen jedoch nicht ausreichend. Durch den Einsatz von Ferroelektreten wie zellulärem Polypropylen (zPP) kann hingegen vollständig auf Anpassschichten verzichtet werden. Hierbei handelt es sich um polarisierte, zelluläre Polymerschichten mit sehr geringer Dichte, Steifigkeit und Schallgeschwindigkeit. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir drei verschiedene Sende-Empfangs-Prüfköpfe vor, welche auf zellulärem Polypropylen basieren. Anhand von Schallfeld, Signal-Rausch-Abstand und Sendepegel werden diese Prüfköpfe charakterisiert. Die Ergebnisse werden mit den Ergebnissen von Referenzprüfköpfen ohne Sende-Empfangs-Charakteristik verglichen. Bei den Referenzprüfköpfen werden sowohl handelsübliche LUS-Prüfköpfe, sowie bisher entwickelte Prüfköpfe aus zellulärem Polypropylen berücksichtigt.

Due to the high strength and stiffness of PET, the wall thickness and weight of packagings can be reduced. The aim of this work was to find a laboratory test method for the determination of the stress cracking resistance of PET. One test method is the Full Notch Creep Test (FNCT), which was developed for polyethylene (PE) and is described in the standards EN ISO 13274 and EN 15507. It was investigated whether testing specimens made of PET with a full coplanar notch around the middle of the specimens show weakening after the impact of a tensile force in a wetting solution at 50°C. Unfortunately, this method couldn’t be used for PET because the specimens broke during notching due to the high brittleness of PET. The molding of the sheets and the following temper process for twelve hours are very time-consuming, Another possibility is laid down in BAM’s Dangerous Goods Rule BAM-GGR 015. This test was carried out with 1l PET bottles, which were filled with a 5% wetting solution and mounted with a clamping tool for 28 days at 40°C. Tensile test specimens were cut out afterwards from the middle of the bottles in the deformed areas. The tensile properties of the PET specimens couldn’t be determined due to the hardness of the material. In conclusion, the only way to provide information about the stress cracking resistance of PET was to perform stacking tests with PET design types of packagings. 1l bottles made of PET were filled with a 5% wetting solution and stored with a stacking load for 28 days at 40°C according to EN ISO 16495. The test bottles of PET passed the stacking tests.

Previous studies and numerical simulations have shown that the VHE powder method (vacuum hot extraction with mass spectrometric gas detection) is suitable for this purpose. The measured isothermal gas emission is fitted to a classical diffusion model for spherical particles from which the diffusion coefficient of the glass is calculated. The H2 permeability is determined by means of the solubility determined from the same measurement data. This presentation is referring to the optimization of the method regarding sample preparation and measurement data evaluation using suitable experimentally determined particle size distributions is reported. For quartz glass, it is shown that the accuracy of classical measuring methods is achieved with the VHE powder method. Furthermore, other examples of substantially gas-tighter glasses are given.

T1 - 3D High-temperature laser profilometry during sintering N2 - Most crucial for components of complex shape or heterogeneous micro structure, precise control of sintering has decisive influence on dimensional accuracy, mechanical integrity and reliability of sintered components. In these cases, only in situ 3D high-temperature shape screening during shrinkage would allow revealing temporary sinter warpage and hereby caused potential defects. Against this background, nokra Optische Prüftechnik und Automation GmbH, HTM Reetz GmbH and BAM developed a testing device for in situ 3D shape screening for ceramic and glass-ceramic tapes up to 1000°C by means of high-temperature laser profilometry. The local repeatability of the sample-sensor distance (sample height profile) is 10 µm at 1000°C. Current work is focused on dropping these restrictions in sample shape and temperature. In a second testing device, currently being in development, samples up to 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm can be measured at temperatures up to 1500°C.The presentation illustrates the current state of this work and possible applications of the method.

Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing. The present study aims to evaluate the bulk residual stresses in SLM parts by using neutron diffraction measurements performed at E3 line -BER II neutron reactor- of Helmholtz-Zentrum für Materialien und Energie (HZB) Berlin. Together with microstructure characterization and distortion measurements, it is possible to describe the stress state throughout the whole sample. The sample was measured in as-build condition (on a build plate) and after releasing from the build plate. The used material is the nickel based superalloy 718. This alloy is widely used in aerospace and chemical industries due to its superior corrosion and heat resistant properties. Obtained results indicated different residual stress states for each of the transversal, longitudinal and normal component. The normal and transversal component exhibits a rather compressive behavior while the longitudinal was tensile in the center part of the sample and became compressive towards the tip. As expected, the absolute values of all stress components decreased after releasing the sample from the building plate. A surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) allowed us to present top surface distortion before and after releasing. The top surface showed a distortion around ±80µm after releasing. Microstructure evolution in the scanning-building cross-section is largely dominated by columnar grains. In addition, many small random orientated grains are prominent in the regions of a laser overlap during SLM. In summary, for the sample of superalloy 718 manufactured by SLM, a small distortion occurred when removing the sample from the build plate whereby the residual stress state decreases. Moreover, the observed columnar grains in the building direction could give a reason for the lowest stress values in that normal direction. However, the most important parameter controlling the residual stresses is the temperature gradient. Hence, future investigations are planned for a different scan strategy to distribute the laser impact in a more homogenous manner.

T1 - CT for additive manufacturing process characterisation: assessment of melt strategies on defect population N2 - Selective Electron Beam Melting (SEBM) is a promising powder bed Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique for near net-shape manufacturing of high-value titanium components. However, as with every emerging technique, the manufacturing processes can still be greatly improved and optimised. In particular, the links between AM settings and the resulting sample porosity is of great interest, as the fatigue life of SEBM parts is currently dominated by the presence of porosity. In this study, the size, volume fraction, and spatial distribution of the pores in model samples have been characterised in 3D, using X-ray Computed Tomography (CT), and correlated to the SEBM process variables. A strong relationship was found with the different beam strategies used to contour, and infill by hatching, a part section. The majority of pores were found to be small spherical gas pores, concentrated in the infill hatched region. Rarer irregular shaped pores were mostly located in the contour region and have been attributed to a lack of fusion between powder particles.

The determination of antibiotics in aqueous environments and foodstuff is thus of major concern. We have been developing optical sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) due to the low production costs, stability, format adaptability and the possibility to imprint and thus their ability to recognize a wide variety of target analytes. As a fluorescently responding moiety in the polymer matrix a tailor-made fluorescent indicator cross-linker for direct transfer of the binding event into an optical signal was used. If such a cross-linker is integrated into a thin MIP-shell on microspheres such core/shell particles can be readily used in advanced multiplexing sensory fiber-optic microarrays. Here, we propose such a fiber-optic microarray based on fluorescent MIP microspheres for antibiotics. The binding behavior and the selectivity of a microarray using these silica core/MIP shell beads were examined and compared with a non-imprinted polymer (NIP) control, employing the target molecules and other structurally closely related antibiotics.

A plethora of hybrid inorganic/organic copolymers were synthesized, including hybrid inorganic/organic block copolymers as well as random copolymers,[1–4] that showed great potential in fabricating hybrid (nano)materials with tailored properties [5]. Two widely employed RDRP techniques to prepare such hybrid inorganic/organic copolymers are atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) [1,2] and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization [3,4]. In order, to afford hybrid inorganic/organic copolymers with narrow dispersity, high conversions and precise structures, it is required to choose proper reaction conditions. Due to the importance of both ATRP and RAFT in the preparation of such hybrid polymers, we aim to compare both RDRP techniques by preparing 2-acetoxyethyl methacrylate (AcEMA) and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TESPMA) based homopolymers. For this purpose, AcEMA and TESPMA were polymerized in 1,4-dioxane at 60 °C mediated by CuBr/N,N,N',N'-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) and 2-(2-carboxylethylsulfanylthiocarbonyl-sufanyl) propionic acid (TTC) as well as cumyl dithiobenzoate (CDB) to evaluate the suitability and reliability of ATRP and RAFT to prepare such hybrid (co)polymers.

Wird ein solches Material unter die Curie Temperatur abgekühlt, zerfällt es spontan in nahezu selbstgesättigte magnetische Domänen. Diese Magnetisierung führt gleichzeitig zu einer Verformung der mit ihr gekoppelten Kristallgitter. Ein Effekt der auch reziprok gilt: wird die Gitterverformung durch eine Spannung behindert ändert sich zwangsweise der magnetische Zustand. Man kann annehmen, dass zwischen unterschiedlichen, für sich aber homogen verspannten Werkstoffbereichen, lokale magnetische Streufelder auftreten, weil magneto-mechanische Effekte eine Inkompatibilität der Domänenstruktur induzieren. Bekanntlich bilden sich Spannungsgradienten nach Schweißprozessen durch ungleichmäßigen Wärmeeintrag, thermischer Dehnung, und unterschiedlichen Abkühlraten aus.

Der Spannungszustand der Proben wurde anhand von Neutronendiffraktometrie (ND) am Instrument E3 am Reaktor BERII (Helmholzzentrum Berlin, HZB) charakterisiert. ND ist ein Referenzverfahren für die quantitative Bestimmung von elastischen Dehnungen in kristallinen Materialien, deren Gitter selbst der Messmaßstab ist. Die Auswertung zeigt hohe Längsspannungen mit lokalen Maxima in Größenordnung von 600 MPa, die von umgebenen Druckspannungszonen kompensiert werden. Zur Detektion der magnetischen Kleinststreufelder verwenden wir speziell designte GMR-Sensorik (GMR - Giant Magneto Resistance), die aufgrund der geringen Größe ihrer aktiven Sensorelemente hohe Ortsauflösung mit Sensitivität vereint. Die Visualisierung der Messergebnisse lässt eine klare magnetische Mikrostruktur der Schweißnähte erkennen, in der die Streufelder lateral in Größenordnung des Erdmagnetfeldes variieren (~50 µT). Wir zeigen durch einen Vergleich beider Messverfahren, dass lokale magnetische Streufeldmaxima in hohem Maße mit den Spannungsgradienten übereinstimmen.

T1 - Core-shell- Nd3+ - doped upconversion nanoparticles with enhanced luminescence properties for bioanalytical applications N2 - Upconversion nanoparticles are characterized by their ability to convert low energy near-infrared excitation in high energy emissions in the visible range. This is enabled by sequential absorption of two or more photons via energy transfer from the sensitizer lanthanide ion Yb3+ to an activator lanthanide ion, e.g. Er3+. Yb3+ sensitation has the advantage of 980 nm excitation achieved by commercial available low power cw laser modules. Nevertheless, for some applications, especially in aqueous media, which is predominantely in bioanalytical applications, there is the drawback of a local Absorption maximum of water at this wavelength. Sample heating can occur, and excitation power density is strongly distance dependent. To overcome this issue, the idea is to shift the excitation wavelength to 808 nm. This can be achieved by a tandem-excitation using Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions. Nd3+ gets excited by 808 nm irradiation and transfers the energy to Yb3+, which triggers the upconversion emission of the Er3+ ions. Therefore, it is mandatory to separate Nd3+ and Er3+ by core-shell architecture for reducing the energy backtransfer from Er3+ to Nd3+. To further enhance the upconversion luminescence an additional inert shell formed by the host material NaYF4 reduces the quenching effects caused by surface defects and dangling bonds.

T1 - Measurement of porous TiO2 layers with spectroscopic ellipsometry - a multi-method study N2 - By means of an effective medium (EMA) based approach, it is possible to use spectroscopic ellipsometry to determine the mixing ratios between air and material in porous dielectrics and calculate a quantitative value of the porosity for these materials. As this method is model-based, it is very difficult to provide a quantitative measure for the accuracy of porosity values determined by this method. Valuable additional information can often be obtained by combining ellipsometry with other complementary methods. In the present study, the ellipsometry results were validated by Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA) with the option of layer analysis (by the socalled “STRATAGem” approach), gravimetry, and electron microscopy. We analysed porous TiO2 thin layers synthesised by means of a template synthesis Approach (evaporation induced self assembly). Ellipsometry measurements on porous samples are difficult to analyse due to the complexity of the models necessary. Often it is difficult to decide if the measured data contains enough information to successfully determine the target quantities (mixing ratio, dielectric function of the matrix material). One method to decrease the complexity of the fit and therefore use the measurement data most efficiently is a multi-sample analysis. In the present case, multi-sample analysis was used for determining the porosity factors of the individual layers while using one common set of dielectric function values for the matrix in all cases. While the results of the fit analysis in this case can be used to show the feasibility and also the limitations of the multi-method approach, the porosity values themselves show a promising agreement between the Independent methods. It can therefore be concluded that determining porosity values with ellipsometry is in accordance to other methods to the level of accuracy provided by the complementary methodologies.

Niobium carbide (NbC) has good mechanical and physical properties, such as high hardness, very high melting point and low density.

T1 - Sub-critical crack growth in silicate glass N2 - Premature failure of glass under load is caused by sub-critical crack growth (SCCG) originate from microscopic flaws at the surface. While SCCG is related to the humidity of the ambient atmosphere, leading to stress corrosion phenomena at the crack tip, the detailed mechanism and the effect of different network formers are still not fully understood. For more clarity, various soda silicate glasses with a second network former were investigated by double cantilever beam technique: Na2O*Al2O3*SiO2 (NAS), Na2O*B2O3*SiO2 (NBS), Na2O*PbO*SiO2 (NPbS). Three effects on the crack growth velocity, v, versus stress intensity, KI, curves were found out. The slope in region I, which is limited by corrosion, increases in the order NAS < NBS ≲ NPbS. The velocity range of region II reflecting the transition between corrosion effected and inert crack growth (region III), varies within one order of magnitude between the glasses. The KI region of inert crack growth strongly scatters between 0.4 and 0.9 MPam1/2. For comparison, crack growth at different humidity in commercial soda lime silicate glass (NCS) was measured.

T1 - Statistical analysis of Vickers induced subcritical crack growth in soda-lime silicate glasses N2 - Studies on Vickers induced subcritical crack growth are controversially discussed since the stresses that drive the crack growth are distributed three dimensionally within the material and cannot be retraced by available methods. Hence, empirical approaches are used to calculate mechanical material parameters such as the stress intensity factor KI. However, the results of these approaches show large deviations from those measured by standardized techniques such as double cantilever beam (DCB) or double cleavage drilled compression (DCDC). Yet, small specimen sizes and low specimen quantities can prevent the execution of DCB and DCDC measurements. Here we present an approach that is based on a statistical analysis of Vickers induced radial cracks. For this purpose more than 150 single radial cracks were analyzed. The cracks were generated in a commercial soda-lime silicate glass. The experiments were performed in a glovebox purged with dry nitrogen gas to minimize the influence of atmospheric water on crack growth. The temporally resolved evolution of the radial cracks was monitored in-situ using an inverted microscope equipped with a camera system directly below the Vickers indenter. An automated image analysis software was used to determine the crack length over time. The data show that the crack propagation and thereby the crack velocities are not uniformly but statistically distributed. These findings allow, using the statistical mean value of the distributions in combination with DCB data, a precise formulation of KI for each measured crack length.

T1 - Subcritical crack growth in water bearing soda-lime silicate glasses N2 - The presence of water in the surrounding atmosphere of a propagating crack has a major influence on the subcritical crack growth. While these external phenomena are well understood, there is still a lack of knowledge on the influence of structurally bound water on crack propagation. Thus, our recent study aims on the analysis of crack propagation in water bearing soda-lime silicate glasses with up to 8 wt.% water. The samples were synthesized in an internally heated pressure vessel at 0.5 GPa. Since this preparation route limits the sample sizes, standard test geometries allowing for the determination of stress intensity factors, such as double cantilever beam, are not feasible. Thus, radial cracks in the hydrous glasses were initiated by Vickers indentation and crack growth was simultaneously captured with a camera system. An automated image analysis algorithm was used for the analysis of the crack length of each single video frame. To minimize influences by atmospheric water, all experiments were conducted in a glovebox purged with dry N2. About 150 cracks per glass composition were analyzed to provide statistical significance of the Vickers-induced SCCG. The results show that structurally bound water has a major influence on SCCG by means of crack lengths, growth rates and time of crack initiation.

T1 - SD effect in martensitic stainless steel under Q&P heat treatment condition N2 - The quenching and partitioning (Q&P) heat treatment enables a higher deformability of high strength martensitic steels. The Q&P heat treatment was applied on the martensitic stainless steel 1.4034 (X46Cr13) to study the influence of partitioning time. Therefore, extensive characterizations of the mechanical properties, focussing on the materials behaviour under different mechanical load scenarios, were performed. A comprehensive analysis of the microstructural evolution was per-formed for different heat treatment and mechanical loading states. A complete solution of chromium carbides was detected to be a first requirement for successful Q&P heat treatment. The comparison of common quenching and tempering with the Q&P heat treatment verifies the extensively enhanced materials strength whereat the formability is still acceptable. The microstructural reason was detected to be an increasing aus-tenite fraction due to austenite reversion at subgrain boundaries of martensite besides the stabilising of retained austenite. Further a distinctive strength differential effect was observed.

T1 - Laser-generated high wetting contrast surfaces for microbiological applications N2 - We demonstrate a 2D platform based on high contrast wetting patterns suitable for miniaturized microbiological assays. In principal, superhydrophilic spots are surrounded by a superhydrophobic surface area. The special structure of the superhydrophilic functional surface ensures that liquids, e.g. bacterial suspensions or biocide solutions, spread immediately and evenly on this surface without passing the wetting boundary. This feature allows a homogenous distribution of bacteria or chemical substances on well defined lateral dimensions. The superhydrophilic spots may also serve as substrate for bacterial biofilms. Due to the high wetting contrast and the fabrication process, it is possible to minimize the test areas as well as their distance to each other. We demonstrate the fabrication process of the high wetting contrast platform and also present a microbiological assay as an application example. Advantages of this platform are the use of low volumes and its potential of automated analysis.

The multielectrode array consisted of up to 25 electrically isolated electrodes made of stainless steel wires of diameters ranging from 100 µm to 500 µm. They were connected to a multichannel microelectrode analyzer (MMA) electrically coupled through zero resistance ammeters. Current flow between electrodes in the array as well as changes in impedance of individual electrodes over time were recorded and analyzed with respect to the onset of localized corrosion and biofilm formation. The results were complemented by optical microscopy, SEM and AFM images which were taken immediately after the respective experiment. To verify that the multielectrode arrays correctly indicated the initial stages of the corrosion process and of biofilm formation they were introduced in a flow cell reaction vessel containing test specimens made from stainless steel 1.4301, which were checked regularly for signs of localized corrosion and biofilms. Preceding results with the multielectrode array in solutions containing high amounts of chloride ions and hydrogen peroxide at low pH also showed that it is possible with the MMA to monitor individual electrodes becoming local anodes as local corrosion set in, while the remaining electrodes predominantly acted as cathodes.
