Nachdem man die spezifischen Parameter der Beanspruchung unter Anwendungsbedingungen und die spezifische Empfindlichkeit des Materials erfasst hat, beginnt ein Prozess, der als „Test Tailoring“ häufig abstrakt verwendet, auf den aber nur selten näher eingegangen wird. Genau dieser Prozess soll hier am Beispiel der Entwicklung eines künstlichen Bewitterungstests unter saurer Beaufschlagung, dem in der BAM entwickelten Acid Dew and Fog Test, beispielhaft erläutert werden.

H-1, B-11, C-13 and P-31 NMR experiments using direct excitation with a single pulse and H-1-P-31 cross-polarization (CP) were carried out including 31P(1 H) and C-13{P-31}double-resonance techniques (REDOR: Rotational Echo Double Resonance) on a series of heat-treated samples (580 K-850 K). Because many amorphous phases occur in the solid residues, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy addresses the most important sites carbon, phosphorus and boron, this paper is the key analytical approach for understanding the pyrolysis and flame retarding phenomenon in the condensed phase of PC/SiR/BDP and PC/SiR/BDP/ZnB. For the system PC/SiR/BDP it is shown that (i) at temperatures around 750-770 K (main decomposition step) carbonaceous charring of PC occurs and arylphosphate structures are still present, reacted in part with the decomposing PC; (ii) for higher temperatures from 770 K the phosphorus remaining in the solid phase increasingly converts to amorphous phosphonates and inorganic orthophosphates with a minor amount of crystalline orthophosphates; and (iii) H-1-P-31{H-1} CP REDOR and H-1-C-13{P-31} CP REDOR NMR experiments suggest that the phosphates and phosphonates are bound via oxygen to aromatic carbons, indicating the interaction with the carbonaceous char. When ZnB is added to the system PC/SiR/BDP, (i) ZnB leads to a slightly enhanced PC decomposition for temperatures below 750 K; (ii) alpha-Zn-3(PO4)(2) and borophosphate (BPO4) are formed in small amounts at high temperatures suggesting a reaction between BDP and ZnB during thermal decomposition; and (iii) most of the borate remains in the solid residues, forming an amorphous pure borate network, with the BO3/BO4 ratio increasing with higher temperatures. The NMR data of thermal and fire residues are highly correlated, underlining the importance of this work for understanding the pyrolysis and flame retardancy mechanisms in the condensed phase during the burning of the PC/SiR blends.

As both liquids underwent equal temperature progression, exposure effects of UV radiation and nitric acid as well as of their combination can be separated and compared. On the basis of various property changes after these exposures, synergistic action is evaluated and compared to a damaged Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) from a transport accident. It is found that carbonyl formation goes along with lightness increase in color measurement due to microcracking and with a worsening in mechanical behavior, all of them showing synergistic effects of UV and nitric acid exposure. In contrast, embedding nitrogen compounds goes along with yellowing of the material but cannot be correlated to oxidation. The reason for intensified damaging is the decomposition of the 55-percent nitric acid and formation of nitrogen oxides even at ambient temperatures, caused by UV radiation. Thus, damaging effects become similar to those caused by fuming nitric acid exposure at temperatures above 60 °C, with the result of strong oxidative degradation of the polyethylene. In contrast, exclusive exposure to the 55-percent nitric acid at 40 °C does not cause any failure. It can therefore be assumed that also the damaged IBC had been exposed to both UV radiation and nitric acid, probably outdoors.

Wenn entweder die Empfindlichkeit oder die Beanspruchungen Null sind, ergibt sich auch keine Umweltwirkung und bei beidseitig Werten größer Null das jeweilige Produkt der beiden. Die Akkumulation der nicht-reversiblen Effekte über die Zeit und allen Eigenschaftsänderungen entspricht der Alterung des Materials für den jeweiligen Expositionszeitraum. Die digitale Umweltsimulation gliedert sich hier in drei Teilaspekte. Ein erster, rein materialwissenschaftlicher Teil hat die Aufgabe, alle relevanten Materialempfindlichkeiten experimentell zu quantifizieren. Ein zweiter – unter Umständen numerischer Teil – hat die Aufgabe, das Bauteil und seine Einbaulage zu digitalisieren und aus den makroskopischen Umgebungsbedingungen die relevanten mikroklimatischen Umweltparameter für alle Oberflächen- oder Volumenelemente zu bestimmen. In einem dritten Teil werden die Einwirkungen über den betrachteten Zeitraum berechnet und kumuliert. Dieses Konzept, das auf den so genannten Expositions-Reaktions-Funktionen (ERF) basiert, wird an Beispielen der Photoxidation erläutert. Dieses Vorgehen wurde schon beim ViPQuali-Projekt als Numerische Umweltsimulation umgesetzt. Überprüft werden muss das Modell unbedingt an einer realitätsnahen Validierungsbeanspruchung. Hier werden die ermittelten ERFs mit über den kompletten Beanspruchungszeitraum geloggten Umweltparametern gekoppelt, um die berechnete mit der experimentell erfahrenen Alterungswirkung zu vergleichen. Nur so kann sichergestellt sein, dass alle für die Anwendungsumgebung relevanten Materialempfindlichkeiten einbezogen wurden. T2 - 52.

T1 - Exposure response function for a quantitative prediction of weathering caused aging of polyethylene N2 - The exposure response function of the carbonyl formation over the bulk has been determined for a high-density polyethylene of a thickness of 200 μm, which was used as a weathering reference material according to ISO TR 19032. To this end, spectral sensitivity was studied by local measurement of the effect of spectrally dispersed irradiation. Both the exposure device and the methodology of determination are described. The temperature dependency of photooxidation was determined by UV exposure at various temperatures between 23 and 80 °C. Deviations from linearity and thus reciprocity below 40 °C are discussed and assumed to be related to diffusion limitations. An Arrhenius approach –based on data of linear carbonyl formation – has been incorporated into the exposure response function. Using this exposure response function, aging in terms of the distribution of a quantitative property change over a plastic component can be predicted for a specific outdoor location with real chronologic weather data as input for the exposure. Thus, artificial and natural weathering can be linked and compared. The established exposure response function has been validated by outdoor exposure results from the literature. If an estimated diffusion limitation is taken into consideration, calculations and published data are in good agreement.

T1 - Quantitative Auswertemöglichkeiten bei der spektralen Bestrahlung – Berechnung des Wirkungsspektrums N2 - Für die Bewertung des Wellenlängeneinflusses auf die Alterungsvorgänge bei der Bestrahlung UV- oder lichtempfindlicher Materialien kann die Methode der spektralen Bestrahlung angewendet werden. Im Prinzip wird dabei das linear dispergierte Spektrum einer Strahlenquelle mit kontinuierlichem Spektrum (z.B. Xe-Lampe) auf eine Probenoberfläche abgebildet, so dass Ort einer Materialänderung und Wellenlänge der Bestrahlung einander zugeordnet werden können. Nachfolgende lokal-auflösende Analysemethoden ermitteln eine Eigenschaftsänderung an einem spezifischen Ort der Probe, aus dem sich dann die Bestrahlungswellenlänge ergibt. Der verwendete Aufbau wird beschrieben. Es wird an einem ausgewählten Beispiel gezeigt, wie durch geeignete Anbindung eines Messsystems zur Bestimmung der spektralen Bestrahlungsstärke und ortsaufgelöste Messungen der Eigenschaftsänderungen eine quantitative Auswertung realisiert werden kann. Der Einfluss nichtlinearer Alterungsverläufe wird diskutiert. Grenzen der Methode werden aufgezeigt und Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten dargestellt. T2 - 46.

N2 - Nowadays, in every terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem, even in the remotest areas, small residues of plastics, the so called microplastic (MP) can be found. MPs are particles with a size of 1-1000 µm (ISO/TR 21960:2020), mainly containing synthetic polymers like polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Even styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as an indication for tire wear is included due to similar particle formation. To understand the MPs consequences to the environment, it is of high priority to capture its extent of contamination. It is surprising that in the analysis of polymer masses in environmental samples, PE, PS and SBR are often detected, but only small amounts of PP, although this is the second most commonly produced standard plastic and many MP particles originate from carelessly disposed packaging materials. This presentation provides hypotheses about the reasons of rare PP identification and mass quantification in environmental samples. Different investigations of pristine PP and representative environmental samples, including the pre-treatment by Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE) or with density separation followed by the thermal extraction / desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TED-GC/MS) are presented. The results are discussed according to the material properties and a possible degradation mechanism under different weathering conditions which indicate less stability under relevant storage conditions.

Single-crystal Xray diffraction analysis of the compounds enabled a classification of the dyes into a sterically hindered and a unhindered group. The steric hindrance refers to a blocked rotational motion of the aryl subunit around the bond connecting this moiety to the meso-position of the BODIPY core. The energy barriers related to this rotation were simulated by DFT calculations. As follows from the relatively low rotational barrier calculated to about 17 kcal/mol, a free rotation is only possible for sterically unhindered compounds. Rotational barriers of more than 40 kcal/mol determined for the sterically hindered compounds suggest an effective freezing of the rotational motion in These molecules. With the aid of temperature-dependent spectroscopic measurements, we could show that the ability to rotate directly affects the optical properties of our set of BODIPY dyes. This accounts for the strong temperature dependence of the fluorescence of the sterically unhindered compounds which show a drastic decrease in fluorescence quantum yield and a significant shortening in fluorescence lifetime upon heating. The optical properties of the sterically hindered compounds, however, are barely affected by temperature. Our results suggest a nonradiative deactivation of the first excited singlet state of the sterically unhindered compounds caused by a conical intersection of the potential energy surfaces of the Ground and first excited state which is accessible by rotation of the meso-subunit. This is in good agreement with previously reported deactivation mechanisms. In addition, our results suggest the presence of a second nonradiative depopulation pathway of the first excited singlet state which is particularly relevant for the sterically hindered compounds.

A1 - Emmerling, Franziska T1 - Investigating the role of reducing agents on mechanosynthesis of Au nanoparticles N2 - Control over the bottom up synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NP) depends on many experimental factors, including the choice of stabilising and reducing agents. By selectively manipulating these species, it is possible to control NP characteristics through solution-phase synthesis strategies. It is not known, however, whether NPs produced from mechanochemical syntheses are governed by the same rules. Using the Au NPs mechanosynthesis as a model system, we investigate how a series of common reducing agents affect both the reduction kinetics and size of Au NPs. It is shown that the relative effects of reducing agents on mechanochemical NP synthesis differ significantly from their role in analogous solution-phase reactions. Hence, strategies developed for control over NP growth in solution are not directly transferrable to environmentally benign mechanochemical approaches. This work demonstrates a clear need for dedicated, systematic studies on NP mechanosynthesis.

This combination of methods allows a correlation of the structural evolution with temperature information. The temperature information is crucial for understanding both the thermodynamics and reaction kinetics. The reaction mechanisms of three prototypical mechanochemical syntheses, a cocrystal formation, a C@C bond formation (Knoevenagel condensation), and the formation of a manganese-phosphonate, were elucidated. Trends in the temperature development during milling are identified. The heat of reaction and latent heat of crystallization of the product contribute to the overall temperature increase. A decrease in temperature occurs via release of, for example, water as a byproduct. Solid and liquid intermediates are detected. The influence of the mechanical impact could be separated from temperature effects caused by the reaction.
