Size exclusion chromatography (SEC or GPC) is one critical component of polymer analysis to meet the increasing requirements in regulatory context – namely, determination of Mn, as well as oligomers of less than 500 g mol-1 and 1000 g mol-1. The underlying test methods (OECD 118/119 and DIN EN ISO 13885 1 to 3) provide a framework for SEC measurements; however, they lack sufficient specificity to obtain accurate results. Previous SEC round robin tests were mostly performed on homopolymers and did not collect data on oligomer contents.
A new round robin test was initiated and conceptualized within the Task force “Method Evaluation for Polymer REACh (MeEP)”, an initiative of “Industrieforum Analytik” within the German Chemical Society (GDCh). Samples for this study were selected to represent both easy benchmark polymers as well as real-life, industry-relevant polymer materials. Data collection focused on the regulatory requirements.
Distribution of samples, gathering of individual results and evaluation were carried out by BAM. A data summary as initial result is reported here. Further evaluation and interpretation are a part of ongoing research.
In order to create sustainable lifestyles and societies in the long term, sustainability goals must be balanced in terms of the environment, the economy and society. However, these targets are sometimes in conflict with each other and cannot be balanced without compromise. Today, the sustainability debate focuses primarily on balancing environmental/climate and economic targets. Social aspects tend to play a marginal role in the debate. This is also the case in the construction industry, which contributes significantly to global energy consumption and high grey and operational CO2 emissions worldwide. For this reason, research and politics have focused intensively in recent decades on ways to reduce climate emissions while maintaining economic efficiency.
Historically, the focus in construction has been on structural safety. The classic credo in engineering was ‘more is more’. In the context of the climate debate, however, ‘less is more’ often applies, so that engineers and architects today face an economic conflict of objectives between the classic requirements for failure probability and the requirements for sustainable, resource-saving construction, which calls for completely new, much more holistic approaches to material development and structural design. The aim here is to build in a way that is both economical and climate-friendly without compromising structural safety, which is already a complex undertaking.
However, the influence of the use of materials, architecture and construction technology on social aspects is often given much less consideration in the sustainability debate, even though enormous population growth and urbanisation processes are expected in the future, particularly in developing economic areas. This inevitably requires a stronger focus on the socio-economic aspects of construction, especially since, in contrast to many current metropolises, many conurbations in these regions will emerge in areas that are not yet densely populated. This provides freedom for innovative concepts that avoid the mistakes of the past and can consider all aspects of sustainability as largely equal. This freedom enables construction methods and urban concepts that use renewable, circular, local materials to create adaptable, accessible and liveable structures that are equitable, inclusive and fair for society.
This position paper deals with the socio-economic footprint of materials and buildings. It was compiled by an interdisciplinary group of international experts and attempts to develop approaches for effective socio-economic life cycle analysis using similar concepts to those used in environmental life cycle analysis of products and buildings. In contrast to economic analyses or environmental life cycle assessments, which can work with reasonably available and clearly defined units to develop indicators, it is often impossible to determine units for socio-economic indicators, data is more difficult to obtain and there is a lack of benchmarks.
During the discussions, a number of relevant parameters were developed, which can provide clearly quantifiable indicators for socio economic effects. These are related to largely available economic and employment data and consider the distribution of project contracts during implementation and the employment figures associated with project implementation. Particularly in the implementation of large-scale projects involving international investors and financial institutions, ‘(green) compliance value extractivism’ effects can occur, whereby partners from the donor countries are given preference over local project partners. This fraction of the loan flow directly abroad and can no longer serve the local economy to grow. This results in economic follow-up costs, even with lower project costs, which can promote social injustices. The higher the proportion of local companies and employees at engineering levels, the more fairly the construction project serves the local economy.
The guideline serves to support quality assurance in preparation, control and assessment of safety cases based on a numerical analysis of problems that are part of the scope of testing and assessment of package designs for the transport of radioactive materials. In particular, it is intended to form the basis for the correct performance of numerical analyses in accordance with the state of the art and to support the verifiability of the numerical safety case. Its application should ensure the traceability of the calculation procedure and the preconditions and assumptions on which the calculations are based.
Die Leitlinie dient der Unterstützung der Qualitätssicherung bei der Erstellung, Kontrolle und Beurteilung von Sicherheitsnachweisen, die auf einer numerischen Analyse von Problemstellungen basieren, welche zum Prüf- und Begutachtungsumfang von Behälterbauarten für den Transport radioaktiver Stoffe gehören. Sie soll insbesondere die Grundlage für die korrekte Durchführung der numerischen Analysen nach dem Stand der Technik bilden und die Prüfbarkeit des numerischen Sicherheitsnachweises unterstützen. Ihre Anwendung soll die Nachvollziehbarkeit des Berechnungsganges und der den Berechnungen zugrundeliegenden Voraussetzungen und Annahmen gewährleisten.

Due to the heavy overuse of fossil energy sources since the last couple of centuries, a range of serious concerns such as depletion of fossil fuels and climate change that is driven by extensive carbon dioxide (CO2) emission has risen. Rechargeable batteries have surged as eco-friendly and sustainable energy source alternative. Lithiumion batteries (LIBs) have been the most successful rechargeable battery since their commercialization. However, owing to exhaustion and instability in price of scarce raw materials, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as the most attractive alternative to LIBs. Nonetheless, there are still burdens to overcome for SIBs to achieve competitiveness over LIBs, particularly in improving their energy density. To address the burdens, diverse materials have been studied to date. Yet, progress and development on achieving high performance negative electrode for SIBs still remain as a key object. Hard carbon (HC) has been considered as attractive candidate, because of its high capacity and low production cost. Despite the attractiveness, inherent limitations of HCs such as excessive formation of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and large irreversible capacity loss have hindered their applications. To confront this challenge, core-shell concept has been suggested by the team of Division 3.6 at BAM. The concept is to create carbon coating (shell structure) around the core material in order to mitigate formation of excessive SEI and enhance performance of the negative electrode. Shu-Han Wu and Paul Alexander Appel from Division 3.6 at BAM have synthesized various core-shell materials and have observed promising results. They made great progress in the research of core-shell materials, for example improving initial coulombic efficiency from 31% to 68%. However, there are still room for improvement. The task of this bachelor thesis work is to enhance the electrochemical performance of the core-shell materials and to investigate a more effective carbon coating method on the core material by exploring various coating parameters and different drying procedures.
In this bachelor thesis, Shu-Han Wu’s synthesis precedure was repeated, ZIF-8 was pyrolyzed at 1000°C with a consequent treatment with HCl gas and washed with deionised water. The material (ZIF8_1000_HCl gas_H2O) was re-synthesized.
Increasement in N2 Physisorption was observed after the acid treatment, consistent to Shu-Han Wu’s syntheis. The as-synthesized material was used as core material throughout this bachelor work. Moreover, 4 different core-shell carbon materials were synthesized by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and ball milling as synthesis methods. was used as core material and toluene was used as carbon precursor for CVD. CVD displayed an effective formation of shell structure evidenced by steep reduction in specific surface area (SSABET) from N2 physisorption characterization. Ball milling revealed to cause defects in shell structure, which was noticeable on increase in SSABET (from 14 to 379 m2 g-1) and pore size distribution characterization. Drying of powder material prior to CVD process did not exhibit a difference in porosity on the final product after CVD. From the galvanostatic cycling tests at a current density of 20 IVmA g⁻¹, it was evident that formation of shell structure enhances the performance of the material. Among the synthesized core-shell materials, the material double 1.5 h CVD with no ball milling in between exhibited the most excellent performance (ICE 60.1%). Powder drying prior to CVD showed a positive influence on improving the electrochemical performance (ICE improved from 45.1% to 51.9%). Increasing drying temperature of electrode resulted in increasements of performance, where the peak performance was reached at drying at 200°C (ICE 57.7%). The investigations of impacts of coating and drying on electrochemical properties of core-shell carbon materials would provide basis and motivation for further development of advanced negative electrode materials for SIBs.
