UCST-type thermoresponsive polymers (i.e. that phase separate from solution upon cooling) present a tremendous potential not only in aqueous media where they can be used in drug delivery, diagnostic and microfluidic applications, but also in water/alcohol mixtures, where they can be used for instance in sensing systems for alcohol-soluble drugs. However, only a few thermoresponsive polymers have been reported that present an UCST in a relevant temperature range and “green” solvents such as water or ethanol.
In this context, acrylamide-based monomers can be very useful building blocks for designing novel non-ionic UCST-type polymers because of their hydrophilic nature (with the appropriate side chain) and propensity to form hydrogen bonds. We will present our latest results on the UCST-type thermoresponsive behaviour of acrylamide- and/or 2,6-diaminopyridine-based homopolymers and copolymers in water or water/alcohol mixtures, and give some insights about the rational design of UCST polymers relying on H-bonding.
Sialic acid (SA) is a cell surface glycan, which has a strong role in many cell activities including differentiation, proliferation, and the immune response. The amount of SA has been found to be correlated with cancer, with an upregulation on more aggressive cancers. Therefore, there is great interest in developing methods for detection of SA on cancer cells. We are screening SA on cancer cell lines by using fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymers, SA-MIPs.Macrophages, which evolve from mono-cytes, are well known for their extraordinary ability to phagocytose foreign objects. This could lead to the hypothesis that the SA-MIPs can be recognized by macrophages as foreign object; thus leading to internalization and potential degradation. We have discovered that SA-MIPs can be detected after incubation with the RAW macrophage cells, with increasing fluorescence over time. The microscopy analysis shows that the RAW cells ingest the SA-MIP particles. This information is important when planning to use SA-MIPs in future in vivo applications.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and its early detection and resultant treatment contributes significantly to patient recovery and survival. Detection is currently based on magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, methods that are expensive, while processing of the results is time consuming. There is a need for low-cost cancer-detection techniques that give conclusive results in the shortest time possible. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) targeting tumor markers on cancerous cells may provide a cheaper solution for cancer detection. Thin MIP layers immobilized on particle platforms are known to give faster response times and increased selectivity in comparison to bulk MIPs. It has been reported that a fluorescent monomer can be incorporated into the MIP layer, allowing for faster detection of the target group, thus significantly shortening the turn-around time for biopsies.
Changes in sialylation patterns of cell surface glycoproteins indicate malignancy. Here, we present the development of MIPs that target sialic acid-terminated glycoproteins (SA MIPs), prepared as a thin layer on a silica nanoparticle platform. A fluorescent monomer is incorporated into the MIP layer, and upon binding of the target group to the specific binding pockets in the MIP, the fluorescence signal is enhanced. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used for structural characterization. To validate the specificity, fluorescence changes of MIPs in the presence and absence of template are compared to their corresponding non-imprinted polymer particles (NIP). Initial binding experiments with tumor cells using fluorescence microscopy demonstrate that the presented technique shows promise as a cheaper alternative to current detection methods, while allowing for relatively shorter analysis of biopsy results.
Häufig ist es wünschenswert, für neue Materialien oder Anwendungen künstliche Bewitterungsverfahren zu benutzen, die auf die spezifischen Anforderungen besser zugeschnitten sind, als es bei bestehenden standardisierten Verfahren der Fall ist. 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.
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers a range of novel applications. However, the manufacturing process is complex and the production of defect-free parts with a high reliability is still a challenge. Thermography is a valuable tool for process surveillance, especially in metal AM processes. The high process temperatures allow one to use cameras usually operating in the visible spectral range. Here, we compare the results of first measurements during the manufacturing process of a commercial laser metal deposition (LMD) setup using a MWIR camera with those from a VIS high-speed camera with band pass filter in the NIR range.
Additive manufacturing (AM) opens the route to a range of novel applications.However, the complexity of the manufacturing process poses a challenge for the production of defect-free parts with a high reliability. Since process dynamics and resulting microstructures of AM parts are strongly influenced by the involved temperature fields, thermography is a valuable tool for process surveillance. The high process temperatures in metal AM processes allow one to use cameras usually operating in the visible spectral range to detect the thermally emitted radiation from the process. In our work, we compare the results of first measurements during the manufacturing processes of a commercial laser metal deposition (LMD) setup and a laser beam melting (LBM) setup using a MWIR camera with those from a VIS high-speed camera with band pass filter in the NIR range.
Two metal matrix composites, 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 were studied. Distribution, orientation, and volume fraction of the different phases was determined by means of synchrotron computed tomography. The load partitioning between phases was investigated by in-situ neutron diffraction compression tests. The internal damage of the eutectic Si phase and Al2O3 fibers after ex-situ compression tests was directly observed in CT reconstructed volumes. Significant debonding between Al-matrix and SiC particles was found. Those observations allowed rationalizing the load transfer among the constituent phases of two different composites. Finally, based on the Maxwell scheme, a micro-mechanical model was utilized for the composite with one and two ceramic reinforcements. The model rationalizes the experimental data, and predicts the evolution of principal stresses in each phase.
Thermoelectric properties of doubly substituted La0.95Sr0.05Co1-xCrxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) ceramics
(2018)
Dense La0.95Sr0.05Co1-xCrxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) ceramics were synthesized by solid-state reaction and conventional sintering. Room-temperature crystal structure and microstructure were investigated and the thermoelectric properties were measured in the temperature range 323 K – 1020 K. All compositions are single phase with rhombohedral structure, and the lattice parameter of La0.95Sr0.05Co1-xCrxO3 increases with increasing Cr content.
La0.95Sr0.05Co1-xCrxO3 is a p-type small polaron conductor. The charge carrier concentration is determined by both substitution of La3+ with Sr2+ and thermally-activated charge disproportionation of Co3+ and / or Cr3+. Above 550 K, the substitution of Co with Cr increases the Seebeck coefficient and reduces the electrical conductivity. Below 550 K, the trend of Seebeck coefficient with Cr content is not clear due to the thermally activated charge disproportionation. At low temperature, the electrical conductivity shows a minimum with Cr content of x = 0.4, as a result of trapped polarons in the Cr sites. By substituting Co with Cr, the power factor below 800 K is reduced and that above 800 K is improved.
The thermal conductivity is effectively reduced by doping Cr. The highest ZT value of 0.053 at 373 K is achieved for x = 0, but it decreases rapidly with increasing temperature. Substitution of Co with Cr can effectively improve the ZT values at high temperatures. In the temperature range 700 K – 1000 K, ZT increases with increasing Cr content, the highest being 0.04 at 1000 K for the composition with x = 0.5, more than 4 times the value of the La0.95Sr0.05CoO3 compound.
