A1 - Mieller, Björn T1 - Dielectric properties of plasma sprayed coatings for insulation application N2 - Thermal spraying provides a rapid method for additive deposition of various ceramics as electrical insulation in applications where polymers are not suitable. New applications in complex shaped additive manufactured metal parts are emerging for example in large scale electrical devices. Microstructural and dielectric evaluation of coatings is crucial to the employment of such free-form processes. The properties and microstructure of the plasma sprayed alumina coatings are compared with dense reference samples of the same powder produced by spark plasma sintering (SPS). To obtain dense bulk samples from the coarse alumina powder for spray coating, SPS is used. Samples are fabricated by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) of commercially available alumina powder (d50 = 33 µm) on copper substrates and by SPS of the same powder. Microstructure and porosity were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase compositions were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Dielectric properties such as DC resistance, dielectric strength, dielectric loss, and relative permittivity were determined according to the standards. The microstructure and dielectric properties of the coating and bulk material are compared to assess whether the coating is suitable for use in electrical insulation application.

Therefore, risk assessment of these materials is becoming increasingly important. In this context, the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) considered eleven physico-chemical properties as relevant, of which the following six are essential for the registration: chemical composition, crystallinity, particle size, particle shape, surface chemistry and specific surface area. Four of these priority properties can be obtained with electron microscopy and surface analytics like XPS and ToF-SIMS. The reliability of this data must be ensured, especially for their use for grouping and read across approaches. On the other hand, the “reproducibility” crisis has revealed major shortcomings in the reliability of published data. In a case study, we show how the quality of the data can be ensured by using existing standards and protocols of each step in the workflow of sample characterization. As exemplary samples, two Al-coated TiO2 samples as nanopowders were selected from the JRC repository, capped either with a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic organic ultrathin shell. SEM results provided the size and shape of the nanoparticles, a first overview about the composition was obtained with EDS. XPS and ToF-SIMS supplied the surface chemistry, especially information about the shell and the coating of the particles. Standards and protocols of all steps of the analytical workflow including preparation and data reduction are discussed regarding reliable and reproducible data. Additionally, uncertainties for the different steps are specified. Only such a detailed description of all these factors allows a comprehensive physico-chemical characterization of the nanoparticles with understanding of their potential risk assessment.

A1 - Radnik, Jörg T1 - Characterization of sterilized nanoparticles by lab-based XPS and HAXPES N2 - The novel lab-based HAXPES spectrometer (ULVAC-PHI Quantes) gives us the possibility to measure XPS at 1486.6 eV (monochromatic Al Kα source) and HAXPES at 5414.9 eV (monochromatic Cr Kα source) on a sample at the same position. The surface analysis with this spectrometer leads to an information depth of about 10 nm for XPS and in comparison, to an analysis of deeper regions of about 30 nm for HAXPES measurements. This method provides a nondestructive way to distinguish between the near-surface region of the nanoparticles and the whole nanoparticle. Additionally, HAXPES gives access to deeper core levels at higher energy. An application of this technique is presented using nanoparticles. The results shown were obtained with nanoparticles, that were treated differently by means of sterilization for nanosafety (i.e., before studying their toxicity it is important to establish whether nanomaterials are sterile and, if not, to be treated either via microwave or autoclave sterilisation). As a complementary method, the data is compared with SEM and EDX measurements. All methods demonstrate the influence of sterilization. More specifically, these results show that the sterilization step must be considered in the physical-chemical description of the particles for establishing reliable (quantitative structure-activity) relationships.

T1 - Dynamics of Reaction-Induced Changes of Model-Type Iron Oxide Phases in the CO2-Fischer-Tropsch-Synthesis N2 - Iron-based catalysts are employed in CO2-FTS due to their ability to convert CO2 into CO in a first step and their selectivity towards higher hydrocarbons in a second CO hydrogenation step. According to the literature, iron carbides represent the active phase for hydrocarbon formation and are claimed to emerge in the presence of CO. We propose nanostructured FeOx films as model systems to assess information about the complex phase transformations during CO2-FTS. Mesoporous hematite, ferrihydrite, maghemite, maghemite/magnetite films were exposed to CO2-FTS atmospheres at 20 bar and 300°C. Up to three distinct phases were observed depending on the timeon-stream (TOS): a sintered maghemite/magnetite phase, a carbidic core-shell structure, and a low-crystalline, needle-type oxide phase. Our findings indicate that the formation of an intermediary maghemite/magnetite phase, predominant after short TOS (30 h), precedes the evolution of the carbide phase. Yet, even after prolonged TOS (185 h), no full conversion into a bulk carbide is observed.

During the build-up process, high cooling rates occur. Thus, L-PBF AlSi10Mg alloys exhibit a Si-nanostructure in the as-built condition, which leads to superior mechanical properties compared to conventional cast materials. At the same time, such high thermal gradients generally involve a deleterious residual stress (RS) state that needs to be assessed during the design process, before placing a component in service. To this purpose post-process heat treatments are commonly performed to relieve detrimental RS. In this contribution two low-temperature stress-relief heat treatments (SRHT) are studied and compared with the as-built state: a SRHT at 265°C for 1 hour and a SRHT at 300°C for 2 hours. At these temperatures microstructural changes occur. In the as-built state, Si atoms are supersaturated in the α-aluminium matrix, which is enveloped by a eutectic Si-network. At 265°C the Si precipitation from the matrix to the pre-existing network is triggered. Thereafter, above 295°C the fragmentation and spheroidization of the Si branches takes place, presumably by Al–Si interdiffusion. After 2 hours the original eutectic network is completely replaced by uniformly distributed blocky particles. The effect of the heat and the microstructure modification on the RS state and the fatigue properties is investigated. Energy dispersive x-ray and neutron diffraction are combined to investigate the near-surface and bulk RS state of a L-PBF AlSi10Mg material. Differences in the endurance limit are evaluated experimentally by high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests and cyclic R-curve determination.

For comparison, UV radiant exposure (21 days) and nitric acid exposure (up to 6 weeks) were performed separately, at nearly equal temperatures. The damages are compared with FTIR spectroscopy in ATR and HT‐gel permeation chromatography(GPC) on a molecular level and with hydraulic internal pressure testing as a component test. For the used jerrycans, relevant oxidation can only be found after the combined exposure. This is caused by the decomposition of nitric acid into nitrous gases by UV radiation, which is also observed at lower concentrations (28 wt‐%). After 6 days of laboratory exposure, this is rated as critical, which corresponds to about 1/10 year in Central Europe, according to the UV radiant exposure. The gradual increase in oxidative damage shows the reproducibility of the test.

T1 - Adaptable Optical Microwaveguides From Mechanically Flexible Crystalline Materials N2 - Flexible organic crystals (elastic and plastic) are important materials for optical waveguides, tunable optoelectronic devices, and photonic integrated circuits. Here, we present highly elastic organic crystals of a Schiff base, 1-((E)-(2,5-dichlorophenylimino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol (1), and an azine molecule, 2,4-dibromo-6-((E)-((E)-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (2). These microcrystals are highly flexible under external mechanical force, both in the macroscopic and the microscopic regimes. The mechanical flexibility of these crystals arises as a result of weak and dispersive C−H⋅⋅⋅Cl, Cl⋅⋅⋅Cl, Br⋅⋅⋅Br, and π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions. Singly and doubly-bent geometries were achieved from their straight shape by a micromechanical approach using the AFM cantilever tip. Crystals of molecules 1 and 2 display a bright-green and red fluorescence (FL), respectively, and selective reabsorption of a part of their FL band. Crystals 1 and 2 exhibit optical-path-dependent low loss emissions at the termini of crystal in their straight and even in extremely bent geometries. Interestingly, the excitation position-dependent optical modes appear in both linear and bent waveguides of crystals 1 and 2, confirming their light-trapping ability.

T1 - Röntgen-Computertomographie-Verfahren zur quantitativen Charakterisierung periodischer Minimalflächenstrukturen (TMPS) N2 - Additiv gefertigte (AM) dreifach periodische metallische minimale Oberflächenstrukturen (TPMSS, aus dem Englischen Triply Periodic Minimum Surface Structures) erfüllen mehrere Anforderungen sowohl im biomedizinischen als auch im technischen Bereich: Abstimmbare mechanische Eigenschaften, geringe Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Herstellungsfehlern, mechanische Stabilität und hohe Energieabsorption. Allerdings stellen sie auch einige Herausforderungen in Bezug auf die Qualitätskontrolle dar, die ihre erfolgreiche Anwendung verhindern können. Tatsächlich ist die Optimierung des AM-Prozesses ohne die Berücksichtigung struktureller Merkmale wie Fertigungsgenauigkeit, interne Defekte sowie Oberflächentopographie und -rauheit unmöglich. In dieser Studie wurde die quantitative zerstörungsfreie Analyse von Ti-6Al-4V-Legierung TPMSS mit Hilfe der Röntgen-Computertomographie (XCT) durchgeführt. Es werden mehrere neue Bildanalyse-Workflows vorgestellt, um die Auswirkungen der Aufbaurichtung auf die Wanddickenverteilung, die Wanddegradation und die Verringerung der Oberflächenrauheit aufgrund des chemischen Ätzens von TPMSS zu bewerten. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Herstellungsgenauigkeit für die Strukturelemente, die parallel und orthogonal zu den hergestellten Schichten gedruckt werden, unterschiedlich ist. Verschiedene Strategien für das chemische Ätzen zeigten unterschiedliche Pulverabtragsfähigkeiten und damit ein Gradient der Wanddicke. Dies wirkte sich auf die mechanische Leistung unter Druck durch die Verringerung der Streckspannung aus. Eine positive Auswirkung des chemischen Ätzens ist die Verringerung der Oberflächenrauhigkeit, die möglicherweise die Ermüdungseigenschaften der Bauteile verbessern kann. Schließlich wurde XCT eingesetzt, um die Menge des zurückgehaltenen Pulvers mit der Porengröße des TPMSS zu korrelieren, wodurch der Herstellungsprozess weiter verbessert werden kann.
