Chemischer Angriff auf Betonbauwerke - Bewertung des Angriffsgrads und geeignete Schutzprinzipien
(2014)
In verschiedenen Bereichen des Betonbaus ist Beton einem chemischen Angriff von außen ausgesetzt, der die Dauerhaftigkeit des betreffenden Bauteils bzw. des gesamten Bauwerks beeinträchtigen kann. Für einen chemischen Angriff in natürlichen Böden und Grundwässern bestehen normative Vorgaben in DIN 4030-1 [R10] bzw. DIN 1045-2 [R19], um den Angriffsgrad anhand der Art und Konzentration der angreifenden Stoffe in Expositionsklassen XA1 (schwach angreifend) bis XA3 (stark angreifend) einzustufen. Hinsichtlich weiterer maßgeblicher Einflussfaktoren wird an dieser Stelle nicht näher differenziert, ob und inwieweit die Regelungen für Böden und Grundwässer auch auf andere Bereiche mit chemischem Angriff auf Beton zu übertragen sind, ist stets im Einzelfall zu überprüfen. Ebenfalls sind die zu treffenden Maßnahmen über die Vorgaben der DIN EN 206-1/DIN 1045-2 [R19] hinaus anwendungsspezifisch festzulegen. Der Hauptausschuss Baustofftechnik (HABT) des DBV hat daher den Arbeitskreis "Chemischer Angriff auf Beton" beauftragt, dieses Merkblatt zu erarbeiten, das Hilfestellung bei der Bewertung einer projektspezifischen chemischen Angriffssituation auf Beton sowie bei der Planung und Ausführung von Schutzprinzipien leisten soll.
Im Zusammenhang mit Planungs- und Entwicklungsaufgaben, den Forderungen in Normen und Regelwerken, in betrieblichen Arbeitsanweisungen, den Vorgaben für Zulieferteile oder bei der Auseinandersetzung mit Schadensfällen stellen sich häufig Fragen zum Korrosionsschutz sowie zu entsprechenden Prüf- und Untersuchungsverfahren. Die daraus gewonnenen Ergebnisse sollen z. B. eine Eignung von Werkstoffen oder Schutzsystemen unter spezifischen Einsatzbedingungen, die Dauerhaftigkeit des Schutzes, den Nachweis einer gleichbleibenden Qualität, die Vergleichbarkeit bekannter mit neuen Korrosionsschutzkonzepten oder den Wirkungsnachweis für gezielte Systemeingriffe belegen. Schnell wird deutlich, dass sich aus dem Blickwinkel verschiedener Branchen ganz unterschiedliche Anforderungsprofile ergeben, die ihren Niederschlag dann in unterschiedlichen Strategien der Prüf- und Untersuchungsverfahren finden.

Quantitative online NMR spectroscopy of technical mixtures: on the fly quantification of fluids
(2014)
In this paper quantitative NMR spectroscopy is demonstrated as a tool for process analytical technology (PAT) in order to obtain real time information from dynamic processes. Different methods for quantification are presented and as a result the limit of detection for NMR measurement could be determined to 3.3 mg kg-1 (ethanol in water). As model processes esterification reactions and dissolution of pharmaceutical formulations are presented and important process parameters are extracted. Furthermore it is demonstrated that not only 1H-NMR spectroscopy can be used for process monitoring but also 13C-NMR for technical mixtures.
Characterization of randomly branched polymers utilizing liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry
(2014)
Branching in polymers is an important way to modify the materials properties, however the characterization of random branching in polymeric materials is a challenge in polymer analysis. In this work, liquid adsorption chromatography methods are developed for a commercially available hyperbranched polyester (Boltorn™). This Chromatographie techniques was then coupled to offline MALDI-TOF MS analysis, a first in the analysis of randomly branched polymers. The coupling of these two techniques provides superior MALDI-TOF spectra, enabling the easy identification of structural subdistributons based on theoretical molecular weight. Detailed analysis of the MALDI-TOF spectra shows that these Chromatographie conditions separate cyclic Boltorn polymers (with no core molecule) from non-cyclic polymers (with core molecule), and these are the only two architectures observed. MALDI MS also confirms that the Chromatographie Separation mode is adsorption, but further analysis is needed to determine if there is a Separation by degree of branching.
For the accuracy of inertial navigation systems for indoor localization it is important to get high quality sensor data of the multi-sensor system. This can be realized using high quality sensors or the developed 3D-self-calibration-method for low cost sensors. Based on the calibration procedure of the accelerometer (ACC) and the magnetic field sensor (MAG), the additional integration of the gyroscope (GYRO) leads to a reduction of the indoor positioning error. This improves both the approximation for the accelerometer, the magnetic field sensor and the gyroscope so that the standard deviation of a single sensor is minimized. There are errors in the whole system. To determine these error sources it is important to define the measurement uncertainty. In this paper it is presented that the measurement uncertainty can be reduced by the application of the developed 3D-self-calibration method.
The efficiency of wood gasification can be improved by applying membrane based gas separation operations in several of its sub-processes. In the present study the use of membranes made of hardened cement pastes for this purpose was investigated to provide a low cost alternative to conventional membrane materials. The pastes were tested for their diffusional properties in a Wicke-Kallenbach cell and analyzed with regard to their pore structure. The use of low water to binder ratios and slag and/or pozzolans led to a finer pore structure and higher separation factors; in particular, an approximately linear dependence of the separation factors on the threshold radii was observed. The results implicated that Knudsen diffusion is the prevailing diffusion mechanism in the membranes. Deviations from the theoretically expected separation factors were found, which may be ascribed to concentration polarization and channeling effects.
The selective compression of quick response (QR) and Data Matrix code carriers based on shape memory polymer (SMP) with a freely configurable steel ball type indenter and adjacent thermo-mechanical shape fixing gave notched, room temperature (23 °C) stable, temporary shapes with non-decipherable codes. The microscopic investigation of cryomicrotome sections unveiled indentation-related shape fixities of about 90 %. Independent of the selected two-dimensional code, the triggering of the SM effect resulted in sufficient shape recoveries to restore the code readability so that a maximum number of characters including 122 for a QR code (version 7) and 112 in case of a Data Matrix code (version 12) could be read with a scanning and decoding device. Due to the large number of difficult to copy shapes with on demand releasable information, SMPs may serve as viable information carriers for product and brand protection applications.
In einer arbeitsteiligen Wirtschaft erfüllt der Transport eine herausragende Scharnierfunktion. Von der Wirtschaftlichkeit, Zuverlässigkeit und Sicherheit des Transportes hängen vielfältige Arbeitsergebnisse in den unterschiedlichen Prozessen ab. Aus den Bedürfnissen der Wirtschaft ergibt sich i.d.R. ein sogenannter Modal-Split, der die Aufteilung der Wirtschaftsgüter auf die verschiedenen Verkehrsträger Straße, Schiene, Binnenschiff, See und Luft beschreibt. Zuverlässigkeitsangaben und auch Angaben zur Sicherheitslage lassen sich aus den Statistiken herleiten, wie sie z.B. für Deutschland (Statistisches Bundesamt) und Europa (Eurostat) vorliegen. Die Unfallzahlen sind relativ gering, insbesondere aber ist die Tendenz einer stetigen Verringerung der Ereignisse pro Transport zu erkennen.
Der Transport gefährlicher Güter ist integrativer Teil des allgemeinen Gütertransportes und demzufolge erfolgen die Transporte mit Gefahrgut auf den gleichen Verkehrswegen ohne nennenswerte Sonderstellungen, abgesehen von Spezialfällen, wie Transporte für die Bundeswehr. Für die Transporte gefährlicher Güter gibt es spezielle Regelungen, die für die verkehrsträgerunabhängigen Bereiche einheitlich von den Vereinten Nationen ausgearbeitet und als sogenannte Modellvorschriften veröffentlicht werden. In einem Rhythmus von zwei Jahren werden diese Modellvorschriften der Vereinten Nationen dem Stand der Technik angepasst, sodass quasi kontinuierlich die Optimierung der Regelsetzung erfolgt.
Man kann heute davon ausgehen, dass der materielle Inhalt der Regeln der Vereinten Nationen in den wichtigsten Wirtschaftsregionen der Welt in entsprechenden bindenden Regeln seinen Niederschlag gefunden hat, sodass von einem nahezu einheitlichen Regelwerk für den Transport gefährlicher Güter auf der ganzen Welt ausgegangen werden kann.
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a widely known phenomenon and under investigation already for more than a century. This phenomenon, though thoroughly studied, is not yet completely understood, and so far, there are several suggested mechanisms that try to explain the occurrence of HE. One important factor of understanding the HE phenomenon and predicting hydrogen-assisted failure is the descent knowledge about the hydrogen transport behaviour in the material. Neutron radiography is a proven method for tracking hydrogen diffusion and it was applied successfully in various research studies. In the presented study, we examined the hydrogen effusion behaviour in duplex stainless steel by means of neutron radiography and calculated the effective diffusion coefficient from the obtained transmission images.
High strength structural steels are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. A critical combination of stress, amount of diffusible hydrogen and microstructure is believed to cause cold cracking. Especially during welding of high strength structural steels high tensile residual stresses may develop. Therefore, a feasibility study was conducted using synchrotron X-ray diffraction in order to analyze the stress–strain behavior during tensile loading. For that purpose two types of steel showing different hardening mechanisms were used. On the one hand a thermo-mechanically treated S1100MC and on the other hand a quenched and tempered S1300Q were chosen. The samples were electrochemically charged with hydrogen and subsequently stored in liquid nitrogen to prevent effusion. Tensile tests of the samples were conducted in a special load frame allowing for tilting the samples while applying constant loads. High energy synchrotron radiation was used for energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analysis in transmission geometry. This method offers the possibility for measuring several diffraction lines of all contributing crystalline phases of the material. Strains as well as stresses applying the sin²ψ-method were determined for varying load situations. This feasibility study shows how the interaction of hydrogen and the stress/strain response may be assessed by diffraction methods. Examples are presented showing that hydrogen alters the load distribution as well as the strain behavior between different lattice planes in high strength steels.
Im Rahmen einer Bachelorarbeit und in Kooperation mit der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) wurden die eintretenden Schädigungsprozesse während des Spaltzugversuche mittels innovativer Prüfverfahren untersucht. Ziel war es, in Untersuchungen Erkenntnisse über das Versagensverhalten unter statischer und dynamischer Spaltzugbeanspruchung bei der Variation verschiedener Einflussfaktoren zu gewinnen. Hierfür wurde die Aussagekraft innerer und äußerer Schädigungsindikatoren zur Charakterisierung der auftretenden Bruchmechanismen analysiert.
The glass transition behavior of ultra-thin supported polymer films is discussed controversially in the literature for around 20 years. Substantial efforts have been archived to understand it. In this contribution, a combination of methods sensitive to bulk properties of a system, like dielectric or specific heat spectroscopy with surface analytics, for instance, atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to study the glass transition of ultra-thin supported films. All investigations were carried out on identically prepared and treated samples. Different systems with different complexities going from more or less flexible homopolymers over rigid main chain macromolecules to polymer blends have been studied. For the investigated flexible macromolecules, the dynamic glass transition temperature estimated within the frame of the linear response approach is independent of the film thickness down to several nanometers and identical to the bulk value. For polystyrene it was found the thermal glass transition temperatures can depend on the film thickness. This different behavior is not well understood till now and needs further experimental clarification. For the investigated main chain polymers polycarbonate and polysulfone. Dynamic and thermal glass transition temperature estimated from the dielectric measurements increases with decreasing film thickness. This is discussed in the frame of a strong interaction of the polymer segments with the surface of the substrate. In general for homopolymers, the interaction energy of the polymer segments with the substrate surface cannot be considered as the only parameter, which is responsible for the change in the thermal glass transition with the film thickness. For the investigated miscible blend system of polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) at a composition of 50/50 wt-% a decrease of the dynamic glass transition temperature with decreasing film thickness is found. This is explained by the formation of a poly(vinyl methyl ether)-rich surface layer with a higher molecular mobility.
Wear
(2014)
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users perceive “wear” or “oil drain” differently. Spare parts, Services, and accessories contribute to an important portion to the profit of the OEMs. Maintenance and shutdowns define the operational costs of end-users. Thus, the strategy in order to exploit “wear” depends from the market structure and is up to the reader and/or applicant. The topic “Service Life/Durability/Life Cycle” represents a very ambiguous one and was already thematized in earlier times.

Polyalkyleneglycols are oxygen containing base oils, which enable a) polymer-free formulations with high intrinsic viscosity indices favorable for fuel economy, b) bio-no-tox properties and c) low viscosity formulations with low evaporaions. The oxygen present in each monomer of the backbone of polyalkylene glycols defines intrinsic properties, such as high viscosity indices, low NOACK-evaporation, extreme pressure, high hear capacities, etc., thus enabling metal-, ash- and polymer-free engine oil formulations supporting the functional benefits, such as improved of fuel economy or no adverse effects on after-treatment devices.

This review gives representative examples of the various types of synthetic cationic polymers or polyampholytes (chemical structure, architecture, etc) that can be used to complex DNA (forming polyplexes) for their application in gene delivery. In designing polycations for gene delivery, one has to take into account a balance between protection of DNA versus loss of efficiency for DNA condensation and efficient condensation versus hindering of DNA release. Indeed, if the polyplexes are not stable enough, premature dissociation will occur before delivery of the genetic material at the desired place, resulting in low transfection efficiency; on the other hand, a complex that is too stable will not release the DNA, also resulting in low gene expression. The techniques generally used to determine these properties are gel electrophoresis to test the DNA/polymer complexation, ethidium bromide or polyanion displacement to test the affinity of a polymer for DNA, and light scattering to determine the extent of DNA condensation. Moreover, with the development of more precise instruments for physico-chemical characterization and appropriate biochemical and biophysical techniques, a direct link between the physico-chemical characteristics of the polyplexes and their in vitro and in vivo properties can be drawn, thus allowing tremendous progress in the quest towards application of polyplexes for gene therapy, beyond the research laboratory.
