A1 - Rabe, Torsten T1 - Influence of the calcination procedure on the thermoelectric properties of calcium cobaltite Ca3Co4O9 JF - Journal of Electroceramics N2 - Calcium cobaltite is one of the most promising oxide p-type thermoelectric materials. The solid-state reaction (or calcination, respectively), which is well known for large-scale powder synthesis of functional materials, can also be used for the synthesis of thermoelectric oxides. There are various calcination routines in literature for Ca3Co4O9 powder synthesis, but no systematic study has been done on the influence of calcination procedure on thermoelectric properties. Therefore, the influence of calcination conditions on the Seebeck coefficient and the electrical conductivity was studied by modifying calcination temperature, dwell time, particle size of raw materials and number of calcination cycles. This study shows that elevated temperatures, longer dwell times, or repeated calcinations during powder synthesis do not improve but deteriorate the thermoelectric properties of calcium cobaltite. Diffusion during calcination leads to idiomorphic grain growth, which lowers the driving force for sintering of the calcined powder. A lower driving force for sintering reduces the densification. The electrical conductivity increases linearly with densification. The calcination procedure barely influences the Seebeck coefficient. The calcination procedure has no influence on the phase formation of the sintered specimens.

Here, the vibrational density of states (VDOS) for PIM-1, the prototypical polymer with intrinsic microporosity, is investigated by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The results are compared to data measured for a more conventional high-performance polyimide used in gas separation membranes (Matrimid). The measured data show the characteristic low frequency excess contribution to VDOS above the Debye sound wave level, generally known as the Boson peak in glass-forming materials. In comparison to the Boson peak of Matrimid, that of PIM-1 is shifted to lower frequencies. This shift is discussed considering the microporous, sponge-like structure of PIM-1 as providing a higher compressibility at the molecular scale than for conventional polymers. For an annealed PIM-1 sample, the Boson peak shifts to higher frequencies in comparison to the un-annealed sample. These changes in the VDOS of the annealed PIM-1 sample are related to changes in the microporous structure as confirmed by X-ray scattering.

A1 - Böhning, Martin A1 - Schönhals, Andreas T1 - First clear cut experimental evidence for a glass transition in a polymer with intrinsic microporosity: PIM-1 JF - Journal Physical Chemistry Letters N2 - Polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) represent a novel, innovative class of materials with great potential in various applications from high-performance gas separation membranes to electronic devices. Here for the first time, for PIM-1, as the archetypal PIM, fast scanning calorimetry provides definitive evidence for a glass transition (Tg=715 K, heating rate 3·10^4 K/s) by decoupling the time-scales responsible for glass transition and decomposition. As the rigid molecular structure of PIM-1 prevents any conformational changes, small-scale bend and flex fluctuations must be considered the origin of its glass transition. This result has strong implications for the fundamental understanding of the glass transition and for the physical aging of PIMs and other complex polymers, both topical problems of materials science.

Corresponding pastes were characterized by XRD, SEM, chemical analysis, 29Si MAS NMR and 1H-29Si CPMAS NMR after water storage and after acid exposure. The mortars exhibited a high resistance against sulfuric acid attack, with the best ones conforming to the requirements of DIN 19573:2016-03. The analytical results showed that this was due to precipitation of silica gel at the acid-mortar interface, which formed a mechanically stable layer that protected the subjacent mortar and thus inhibited further degradation. The addition of GGBFS decreased the acid resistance via formation of expansive calcium sulfate phases.

Pastes were cured at elevated temperatures (60–90 °C) and relative humidity (r.H.) of 80–98 %. After curing the pastes at 80 °C and 80% r.H for one day, the reaction virtually ceased. Depending on the silica source either geopolymer- zeolite composites or zeolite-free geopolymeric gel forms. The compressive strength of the geopolymer-zeolite composites was lower as the compressive strength of a pure geopolymer, mainly due to a significantly denser and glassy microstructure with less interfaces of the latter one. The major part of the thermal dehydration occurred between 60 °C and 200 °C. Up to 700–800 °C only minor changes of the phase assemblage have been observed for the composites. Depending on the paste composition either ceramic or amorphous phases form during exposure to 1000 °C. Compared to other AAM, very low ambient drying/wetting shrinkage/expansion was observed for the mortars The mortars furthermore provide very high resistance against sulfuric acid (pH 1). Huge parts of the corroded layer are not dissolved from the specimen and can still provide protection for a potential substrate. In terms of sulfuric acid resistance, above a critical CaO content, the formation of gypsum is introduced. This causes expansion, cracking and the decrease of the sulfuric acid resistance.

T1 - Corrosion protection of steel substrates by magnetron sputtered TiMgN hard coatings: Structure, mechanical properties and growth defect related salt spray test results JF - Surface & Coatings Technology N2 - Hard and wear resistant coatings deposited by PVD techniques have been characterized for decades for their capabilities to protect steel substrates from corrosion. In the present work the effect of Mg incorporated into TiN coatings is described in terms of the corrosion behavior as well as the mechanical and structural properties. TiN and TiMgN films with Mg contents between 10 and 35 at.% were deposited onto mirror polished 100Cr6 (1.3505) steel samples with 2.5 and 5 μm thickness by using DC magnetron sputtering. The corrosion protection capabilities of the coatings were characterized by neutral salt spray (NSS) test, considering the amounts and sizes of growth defects inherent in each coated sample as determined by a recently developed optical scan method (Large Area High Resolution mapping). The defect data were statistically analyzed for improved interpretation of NSS test results. Chosen growth defects were additionally analyzed by focused ion beam technique. Furthermore the coating composition and morphology, the hardness and the tribological behavior were characterized. Polished steel samples coated with 2.5 μm TiMgN containing about 35 at.% Mg were in the plane free of corrosion after 24 h in a NSS test. TiMgN with 10 or 20 at.% Mg only provided a slightly improved corrosion protection in relation to pure TiN coatings, which was limited to certain types of growth defects. The highest Mg containing coatings exhibited a decreased hardness down to 1200 or 1800 HV depending on type of deposition (HV 1200: Ti- and Mg-target with rotating substrate holder, 1800: Mg-plugged Ti-target with static substrate holder), but also showed a strongly improved wear resistance against Al2O3 related to pure TiN. By analyzing the NSS test results it was found that the corrosion behavior of the coated samples did not only depend strongly on the Mg content, but also on the sample individual defect concentrations. Therefore this subject is extensively discussed.

Fachtagung „Messen im Bauwesen“ enthält die Beiträge der Autoren zum diesjährigen Thema „Messtechnische Anwendungen und deren Einbindung in digitale Bauwerksmodelle“ enthält. Building Information Modeling (BIM) ermöglicht einen integralen Entwurfs-, Ausführungs- und Instandsetzungsprozess und verspricht Bauwerke von höherer Qualität bei niedrigeren Kosten und kürzeren Projektlaufzeiten. Was BIM aber im konkreten Anwendungsfall bedeutet, ist generell noch Teil eines umfassenden Diskussionsprozesses, insbesondere für die Integration der Ergebnisse von Bauwerksmessungen aus der Ausführungs- und Betriebsphase. Die diesjährige Ausgabe der Tagung „Messen im Bauwesen“ befasst sich schwerpunktmäßig mit verschiedenen Aspekten des BIM in der bestehenden Baupraxis, beschreibt Technologien hinter BIM und zeigt die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten eines Einsatzes von Messverfahren sowohl in der Bauausführung als auch beim Lebenszyklusmanagement von Bauwerken auf. Auf Basis dieser Schwerpunktsetzung möchten wir wieder aus der Sicht des Bauingenieurs und des Geodäten von Praxisbeispielen aus Hoch- und Tiefbau berichten. Die Vorträge sind zusammengestellt mit Blick insbesondere auf Bau- und Vermessungsingenieure in Ingenieurbüros sowie der Verwaltung in den Bereichen Planung, Ausführung und Betrieb von Infrastrukturbauwerken.

T1 - Impact on a micro-reinforced UHPC: Experimental studies versus numerical modeling T2 - 35th Danubia-Adria Symposium on Advances in Experimental Mechanics, Extended Abstracts N2 - Within the presented research project, experimental and numerical investigations were performed to develop a thin-shelled, modular, mobile element system made of a micro-reinforced ultra-high-performance ductile concrete (DUCON®). Material parameters were experimentally determined to adapt the material model within the numerical analysis applying the Drucker-Prager relationship. Afterwards, for validation of the numerical models, quasi-static and high-velocity impact tests were performed on plate-like structures. Finally, a suitable geometry of transportable barrier elements will be designed, which provides a maximum of resistance against impact by a minimum of weight and a maximum of mobility.

In different Research projects the effect of an autoclavation on the mechanical strength and the phase composition was analyzed. In systematic studies, the concrete mix and the process parameters were varied. The results show that autoclavation leads to an improved pozzolanic and hydraulic reaction and significantly improves the mechanical strength compared to a conventional thermal treatment. If a minimum time-span for hydration is ensured, the achievable strength level is not dependent on the prestorage time. However, the duration of the autoclaving is significant. After the Maximum strength is reached there is only a very slight decrease, even if unrealistically long autoclaving times are applied.
