A1 - Böhning, Martin T1 - Environmental Stress Cracking of High-Density Polyethylene Applying Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics N2 - The crack propagation rate of environmental stress cracking was studied on high-density polyethylene compact tension specimens under static loading. Selected environmental liquids are distilled water, 2 wt% aqueous Arkopal N100 solution, and two model liquid mixtures, one based on solvents and one on detergents, representing stress cracking test liquids for commercial crop protection products. The different surface tensions and solubilities, which affect the energetic facilitation of void nucleation and craze development, are studied. Crack growth in surface-active media is strongly accelerated as the solvents induce plasticization, followed by strong blunting significantly retarding both crack initiation and crack propagation. The crack propagation rate for static load as a function of the stress intensity factor within all environments is found to follow the Paris–Erdogan law. Scanning electron micrographs of the fracture surface highlight more pronounced structures with both extensive degrees of plasticization and reduced crack propagation rate, addressing the distinct creep behavior of fibrils. Additionally, the limitations of linear elastic fracture mechanisms for visco-elastic polymers exposed to environmental liquids are discussed.

Dabei spielen höherfeste aushärtbare Al-Mg-Si-Legierungen eine wichtige Rolle. Dieser Beitrag konzentriert sich auf die additive Fertigung von Prinzipbauteilen aus einer Al-Mg-Si-Aluminiumlegierung mittels Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing. Werkstoffe dieses Legierungssystems weisen eine ausgeprägte Heißrissanfälligkeit auf, weshalb das artgleiche Fügen dieser Materialien, mittels Metallschutzgasschweißen, heutzutage immer noch eine Herausforderung darstellt. Kommerzielle Al-Mg-Si-Schweißdrähte sind am Markt nicht verfügbar. In dieser Arbeit wird die Anwendbarkeit eines neuartigen Al-Mg-Si-Schweißdrahtes mit zusätzlichen kornfeinenden Elementen für die additive Fertigung mittels MSG-Verfahren gezeigt. Dazu wird der Zusammenhang von verwendeten Prozessparametern und der resultierenden Bauteilqualität untersucht, wobei die Größe und Verteilung von Poren sowie die Kornmorphologie analysiert werden. Darüber hinaus wird der Einfluss einer T6 Wärmenachbehandlung auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften des Werkstoffes untersucht und ein Vergleich zum entsprechenden Referenzmaterial (Knetlegierung) gezogen.

T1 - Summary of ISO/TC 201 Technical Report 23173—Surface chemical analysis—Electron spectroscopies—Measurement of the thickness and composition of nanoparticle coatings N2 - ISO Technical Report 23173 describes methods by which electron spectroscopies, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and synchrotron techniques, can be employed to calculate the Coating thicknesses and compositions of nanoparticles. The document has been developed to review and outline the current state-of-the-art for such measurements. Such analyses of core–shell nanoparticles are common within the literature, however the methods employed are varied; the relative advantages and disadvantages of These methods, and the optimal usage of each may not be clear to the general analyst. ISO Technical Report 23173 aims to clarify the methods that are available, describe them in clear terms, exhibit examples of their use, and highlight potential issues users may face. The information provided should allow analysts of electron spectroscopy data to make clear choices regarding the appropriate analysis of electron spectroscopy data from coated nanoparticle systems and provide a basis for understanding and comparing results from different methods and systems.

A1 - Weidner, Steffen A1 - Falkenhagen, Jana T1 - Reversible Polycondensations outside the Jacobson-Stockmayer Theory and a New Concept of Reversible Polycondensations N2 - L-Lactide was polymerized with tin(II)acetate, tin(II)2-ethyl hexanoate, diphenyltin dichloride and dibutyltin bis(pentafluorophenoxide) at 130 °C in bulk. When an alcohol was added as initiator, linear chains free of cycles were formed having a degree of polymerization (DP) according to the lactide/initiator (LA/In) ratio. Analogous polymerizations in the absence of an initiator yielded high molar mass cyclic polylactides. Quite similar results were obtained when ε-caprolactone was polymerized with or without initiator. Several transesterification experiments were conducted at 130 °C, either with polylactide or poly(ε-caprolactone) indicating that several transesterification mechanisms are operating under conditions that do not include formation of cycles by back-biting. Furthermore, reversible polycondensations (revPOCs) with low or moderate conversions were found that did not involve any kind of cyclization. Therefore, These results demonstrate the existence of revPOCs, which do neither obey the theory of irreversible polycondensation as defined by Flory nor the hypothesis of revPOCs as defined by Jacobson and Stockmayer. A new concept encompassing any kind of revPOCs is formulated in the form of a “polycondensation triangle”.

Polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) materials were investigated against hardened 52100 martensitic bearing steel and 304 austenitic stainless steel with similar roughness (Ra = 0.2 μm). Results indicate that the friction and wear of PI and PEEK materials depend on the counterface material. This effect wasn’t observed for PTFE composites. While the tribological performance of polyimide is better against 52100 in hydrogen, improved sliding behaviour of PEEK materials is observed with 304 counterface, particularly at higher sliding speed. Surface analyses of the transfer film reveal that the influence of the counterface is primarily related to the chemical nature of the steel for PI and to the thermal conductivity of the disc for PEEK materials.

Their geometry is ideal for the study of confinement effects, specifically one-dimensional confinement, on the thermodynamic properties and segmental dynamics of polymers. For this investigation, films of PC are prepared on both glass and silica substrates to measure the dielectric and calorimetric behavior as a function of film thickness. The methodology consists of broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), ellipsometry, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using ellipsometry, the glass transition shows an increase with decreasing film thickness. Compared to a previous investigation of PC where dilatometry was used, an increase in PC was seen, but now only at thicknesses below 20 nm. Therefore, the critical thickness of PC, where the bulk-like layer no longer percolates through the film, is dependent on the method probing the glass transition. The dielectric behavior shows a deviation from bulk behavior with decreasing film thickness, although still showing a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) temperature dependence for all films. The influence of the adsorbed layer on the molecular mobility was also addressed.

Two epoxy adhesives commonly used in the restoration of flat glass, Araldite® 2020 and Hxtal NYL-1™, were investigated. The adhesives were mixed with various silica-based micro- and nano-particles as fillers. Different tests were carried out on the adhesives with and without fillers in order to characterise their chemical and mechanical properties. The tests included colorimetry, dynamic-mechanical methods of analysis and tests on bending strength. No property changes could be ascertained in the bulked adhesives that would be negative for the restoration of delicate flat glass.

T1 - Pushing up the magnetisation values for iron oxide nanoparticles via zinc doping: X-ray studies on the particle's sub-nano structure of different synthesis routes N2 - The maximum magnetisation (saturation magnetisation) obtainable for iron oxide nanoparticles can be increased by doping the nanocrystals with non-magnetic elements such as zinc. Herein, we closely study how only slightly different synthesis approaches towards such doped nanoparticles strongly influence the resulting sub-nano/atomic structure. We compare two co-precipitation approaches, where we only vary the base (NaOH versus NH3), and a thermal decomposition route. These methods are the most commonly applied ones for synthesising doped iron oxide nanoparticles. The measurable magnetisation change upon zinc doping is about the same for all systems. However, the sub-nano structure, which we studied with Mössbauer and X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy, differs tremendously. We found evidence that a much more complex picture has to be drawn regarding what happens upon Zn doping compared to what textbooks tell us about the mechanism. Our work demonstrates that it is crucial to study the obtained structures very precisely when “playing” with the atomic order in iron oxide nanocrystals.
