Peptide-polymer bioconjugates combine oligopeptides with synthetic polymer blocks and can be used for various applications in material sciences. In recent years, bioconjugates were applied as compatibilizers and coatings. Biocombinatorial approaches, such as phage display, have been shown to yield strong binding peptides, which exhibit excellent coating properties as peptide-PEO conjugates. Phage display represents a widely exploited strategy to select peptides or proteins that exhibit highly specific affinity to various substrates. Following a phage display experiment, DNA sequencing of binding phage clones is required in order to get the sequence information of the binding peptides. Traditionally, random clone picking followed by Sanger sequencing was applied. However, this method may not necessarily identify the strongest binding clones. Next-generation sequencing made sequencing of whole phage libraries possible, which highly improved the selection of strong binders. Here, we show that the biocombinatorial method of phage display combined with next generation DNA sequencing of whole phage libraries represents a powerful tool for an application in material chemistry. Phage display is used to find specific target binding peptides for polypropylene surfaces (PP). PP binders are of particular interest because thus far gluing or printing on PP is challenging due to its low surface energy. Scripts for sequence data analysis were developed and promising sequences were synthesized as peptide-PEO conjugates. Fluorescence based adsorption experiments on PP surfaces led to the identification of strong binding sequences and a better understanding of the peptide-surface interactions.
The novel lab-based HAXPES spectrometer (ULVAC-PHI Quantes) gives us the possibility to measure XPS at 1486.6 eV (monochromatic Al Kα source) and HAXPES at 5414.9 eV (monochromatic Cr Kα source) on a sample at the same position. The surface analysis with this spectrometer leads to an information depth of about 10 nm for XPS and in comparison, to an analysis of deeper regions of about 30 nm for HAXPES measurements. This method provides a nondestructive way to distinguish between the near-surface region of the nanoparticles and the whole nanoparticle. Additionally, HAXPES gives access to deeper core levels at higher energy.
An application of this technique is presented using nanoparticles. The results shown were obtained with nanoparticles, that were treated differently by means of sterilization for nanosafety (i.e., before studying their toxicity it is important to establish whether nanomaterials are sterile and, if not, to be treated either via microwave or autoclave sterilisation). As a complementary method, the data is compared with SEM and EDX measurements. All methods demonstrate the influence of sterilization. More specifically, these results show that the sterilization step must be considered in the physical-chemical description of the particles for establishing reliable (quantitative structure-activity) relationships.
Since there is a lack of knowledge about the effects of nanomaterials on human health and the environment, and in order to get safe- and sustainable-by-design nanomaterials, it is necessary to find an easy way to assess their properties, without having to perform time-consuming experiments each time. In the European project NanoSolveIT, the behavior of nanoparticles is to be derived from a nanomaterial fingerprint database with standardized physico-chemical properties of nanomaterials. The key element for these grouping and reading across approaches is the collection of standardized information about nanomaterials in combination with modelling and simulations. As parameters the particle size, particle shape, chemical composition and surface chemistry are discussed here.
Measurements of the shape and size were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For the chemical composition energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and for the surface chemistry X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used. As an additional method hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) with a higher information depth than XPS was used, thus we were able to include information not only from the top surface, but also from deeper regions of about 30 nm. Therefore, this method is complementary to EDS.
All these methods have been correlatively used to study nanoparticles of different chemical composition that have been treated differently by sterilization. Such a sterilization step is common, before testing for toxicity. To date, the sterilization step has not been considered in establishing the structure-activity relationship of the nanomaterial.
The effects of sterilization are discussed on exemplary samples. The results demonstrate the influence of sterilization on all investigated properties, indicating a restructuring of the nanoparticles. This implies that samples that have been sterilized after synthesis, may show different toxicity from those used in applications without a sterilization step.

This talk was part of the inauguration event for the new x-ray photoelectron spectrometer with the possibility to measure HAXPES (hard energy x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). With HAXPES detailed chemical information can now be gained not only from the first outermost nanometres of the sample surface, but also from deeper regions. In this talk first results and experiences handling the spectrometer are shown.
Nanosafety is becoming increasingly important as nanomaterials are widely used in industrial processes and consumer products. For nanotoxicity measurements prior sterilization of the samples is necessary, but as structure activity relationships are made with properties of pristine particles, the question arises, if the sterilization process has an impact on the physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles and thus on the biological behavior.
This question will be addressed in this talk. For this purpose, results from SEM and EDS measurements are combined with those of a novel lab-based HAXPES spectrometer in order to obtain a more complete picture. At the end, an influence of sterilization will be evident, which indicates a restructuring of the nanoparticles owing to sterilization.
We investigate the molecular dynamics and electrical conductivity for a homologous series of linear shaped guanidinium based cyclic ILCs that vary in alkyl chain length, CLCRs (R = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) by employing broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), and calorimetry comprised of Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) and temperature modulated FSC (TMFSC). Besides conductivity at high temperatures, the dielectric dispersion reveals two relaxation modes: the fast γ and the slow α1 relaxation. The former is assigned to the localized fluctuations while the latter is due to segmental dynamics of the alkyl chains. The γ mode slows down for long chain length CLCs (12,14,16) compared to their shorter analogues. Calorimetric investigation reveals one process, the α2 process, for all ILCs. The α2 process for CLC10, 12, and 14 has a similar temperature dependence as the dielectric α1 relaxation, while for the CLC8 and 10, it's shifted to a higher temperature. For all CLCRs, the absolute values of DC conductivity increase by 4 orders of magnitude at the transition from the plastic crystalline to hexagonal columnar phase. This increase is due to the change in the underlying conduction mechanism from delocalized electron hopping in the crystalline phase to one-dimensional ion mobility in the columnar phase. The glassy dynamics shifts to higher temperatures with increasing alkyl chain length. Conversely, the DC conductivity drops by 3 orders of magnitude from CLC8 to CLC16.
Liquid crystalline mesophases in nanoconfinement exhibit intriguing orientational order and phase transition behaviors. Here, the plastic crystal to hexagonal columnar, and hexagonal columnar to isotropic transition temperatures are studied for the guanidinium-based ionic discotic liquid crystal confined in self- ordered nanoporous alumina membranes. The phase transition temperature of the plastic crystal to hexagonal columnar phase is reduced with inverse pore diameter. The hexagonal columnar to isotropic transition is suppressed completely in all pores and a possible explanation is given. The results are of technological relevance for the design of liquid crystal-based devices such as batteries and sensors with optimum tunable properties.
We report the dielectric and calorimetric investigations of an homologous series of Janus polynorbornenes with rigid main backbone and flexible -Si(OR)3 side groups, of differing length alkyl chains (R = Propyl, Butyl, Hexyl, Octyl, Decyl). Dielectric dispersion reveals two active processes at low temperatures, denoted as β- and α- relaxation. The former can be assigned to localized fluctuations, whilst the latter relates to the glassy dynamics of the flexible -Si(OR)3 side groups, that creates a nanophase separation in both the alkyl chain rich and backbone rich domains. Temperature modulated DSC measurements and X-ray scattering experiment confirm the nanophase separation. Fast Scanning Calorimetry employing both fast heating and cooling rates detects the glass transition temperatures of the backbone rich domains, which are beyond or near to their degradation temperatures in terms of conventional DSC. The cooperative length scale of glass transition and the size of the alkyl chain rich domains increases with chain length. Alongside these results, a significant conductivity contribution was observed for all Poly(tricyclononenes) with Si(OR)3 side groups, which is interpreted in terms of a percolation model.
Ionic Liquid Crystals (ILCs) are materials that combine the properties of liquid crystals together with ionic conduction. It is known that liquid crystal mesophases in confinement exhibit anomalous dynamics and phase behavior. However, similar studies about factors that control the macroscopic properties of ILCs in confinement are limited. Here, Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS), X-ray scattering, and calorimetry were applied to study the molecular dynamics, and phase behavior of a guanidinium based columnar ionic liquid crystal confined in self-ordered alumina oxide nanopores of pore sizes ranging from 180 nm down to 25 nm. It is aimed to understand how pore size and pore surface wettability (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) influence the molecular dynamics, and phase behavior for this system which are crucial for applications. The DSC measurements show: (i) the crystalline-liquid crystalline transition temperature has non-monotonic dependence on inverse pore diameter and (ii) the liquid crystalline-isotropic transition is completely suppressed for all the confined samples. This thermally suppressed transition was detected by BDS and X-ray scattering and is considered as a continuous phase transition instead of a discontinuous first order transition. BDS investigations reveal several relaxation processes for the bulk and confined scenarios. The relaxation modes are suppressed and become slower for the confined scenarios compared to the bulk. Possible molecular origins for these relaxation processes are discussed, and it is shown that the self-assembly of these ILCs is dynamic in nature.
Suppressed Transition and Dynamic self-asembly of ionic superdiscs in cylindrical nanochannels

Liquid crystalline mesophases in nanoconfinement exhibit intriguing phase transition behaviors and relaxation dynamics. Here, we investigate the molecular mobility and electrical conductivity of a columnar ionic liquid crystal confined in self-ordered nanoporous alumina oxide membranes of pore size ranging from 180 nm down to 25 nm. We use nano-broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and calorimetry to study the dynamics and phase behavior. Calorimetric investigation reveals a complete suppression of the columnar – isotropic transition, while the plastic crystalline – columnar transition temperature decreases with inverse pore size and deviates from the Gibbs – Thomson equation.
For the bulk case, BDS detects two relaxation modes in the crystalline phase, the γ relaxation and the α1 relaxation, and two relaxation modes in the columnar phase, the α2 and α3 relaxation. All relaxation modes slow down for the confined case compared to the bulk. However, a new relaxation mode reflecting the interfacial layer emerges for the 80 and 25 nm. We discuss the possible molecular origins of the different relaxation modes observed. For the bulk ILC, a clear jump of 4 orders of magnitude in the absolute values of DC conductivity occurs at the transition from the plastic crystalline to hexagonal columnar phase, for the confined ILC, this transition is smooth. DC conductivity is reduced for the confined case, except for the 25nm, where the values are similar to the bulk.

We study the molecular mobility and electrical conductivity of a homologous series of linear shaped columnar ionic liquid crystals ILCn, (n = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) using Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS), Specific Heat Spectroscopy (SHS), and X-ray scattering. We aim to understand how the alkyl chain length influences the dynamics and electric conductivity in this system. Two dielectrically active relaxation modes are observed, the and the αcore process, that correspond to the localized relaxation of the alkyl chains, and cooperative motions of the aromatic core in the columns respectively. Both the relaxation and the αcore process slow down with increasing alkyl chain length. SHS reveals one relaxation process, the αalkyl process that has similar temperature dependence as that of the αcore process for ILC12, 14, 16 but shifts to higher temperature for ILC8 and 10. For ILC12, 14, 16 the absolute values of DC conductivity increase by 4 orders of magnitude at the transition from the plastic crystalline to hexagonal columnar phase. For ILC8, 10 the DC conductivity behavior is similar to ionic liquids, where the conductivity is coupled with structural relaxation. Small-Angle X-ray (SAXS) investigations reveal that both the intercolumnar distance and disorder coherence length increase with alkyl chain length, conversely the DC conductivity decreases monotonically.

We summarized our recent findings about the molecular dynamics investigation of bulk and finite ionic liquid crystals. We investigate the molecular dynamics and electrical conductivity for a homologous series of linear shaped guanidinium based cyclic ILCs that vary in alkyl chain length, CLCRs (R = 8, 10, 12, 14, 16) by employing broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS), and calorimetry comprised of Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) and temperature modulated FSC (TMFSC). Besides conductivity at high temperatures, the dielectric dispersion reveals two relaxation modes: the fast γ and the slow α1 relaxation. The former is assigned to the localized fluctuations while the latter is due to segmental dynamics of the alkyl chains. The γ mode slows down for long chain length CLCs (12,14,16) compared to their shorter analogues. Calorimetric investigation reveals one process, the α2 process, for CLC12,14 and 16 and two processes, α2 and α3, for CLC8 and 10. The α2 process of all CLCRs has a similar temperature dependence as the dielectric α1 relaxation, which indicates both BDS and FSC probe the segmental dynamics of alkyl side chains, as observed for the bent shaped cyclic ILCs. We interpret the α3 process of CLC8 and 10 as the segmental dynamics of the cation core. For all CLCRs, the absolute values of DC conductivity increase by 4 orders of magnitude at the transition from the plastic crystalline to hexagonal columnar phase. This increase is due to the change in the underlying conduction mechanism from delocalized electron hopping in the crystalline phase to one dimensional ion mobility in the columnar phase. The glassy dynamics shifts to higher temperatures with increasing alkyl chain length. Conversely, the DC conductivity drops by 3 orders of magnitude from CLC8 to CLC16.
Society is currently confronted with two global challenges, climate change and sustainable development. This reality reverberates amongst the leading nations of the world and is articulated as a priority by the United Nations through the Framework Convention on Climate Change and its seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. In 2016, under the Paris Accord, Mission Innovation, MI, emerged as a global response to climate change and developed eight innovation challenges to mitigate its effect, including Clean Energy Materials, IC6. This innovation challenge focused its efforts on accelerating the development and deployment of clean energy materials by more than a factor of ten through Materials Acceleration Platforms, MAPs – autonomous, self-driving materials laboratories and renewed itself under the current mandate as Materials for Energy, M4E.
Self-driving labs deploy artificial intelligence, robotic automation and high-performance simulation and modeling in a closed loop system of material synthesis and characterization. An international ecosystem for accelerated materials discovery has been established and finds applications in many enabling materials technologies, including nanomaterials. The importance of nanomaterials to catalysis for hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion as well as energy storage in batteries is well known. In this work, the international efforts under Materials for Energy will be elaborated including the development of MINERVA - MAP for Intelligent Nanomaterial synthesis Enabled by Robotics for Versatile Applications. MINERVA was specifically built to include the specialized equipment required for the synthesis, characterization and closed-loop optimization of various nano- and advanced materials, ranging from simple inorganic (silica, metal, metal oxide) or polymeric nanoparticles to more complex core-shell architectures and materials with well-defined porosity or surface chemistry. Currently, we are investigating materials for applications in antimicrobial and antibiofouling surface coatings, sensor materials, as well as the reproducible synthesis of reference materials with this platform.
Einführungsvortrag im Rahmen der Veranstaltung der BAM-Akademie zur Anwendung der OECD TG 124 "Volume Specific Surface Area of Manufactured Nanomaterials" zu Herausforderungen bei der Granulometrie von Nanopulvern. Es werden die Einflüsse von Partikelform, Breite der Partikelgrößenverteilung und Agglomeration/ Aggregation auf das Messergebnis sowie die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse verschiedener Messverfahren dargelegt.
Im Rahmen des 2. BAM-Akademie Info-Tages "Nano or not Nano" wurde die OECD TG 124 "Volume Specific Surface Area of Manufactured Nanomaterials" vorgestellt. Der Vortrag beschreibt detailliert das Messverfahren der He-Gaspyknometrie zur Bestimmung der Skelettdichte von Pulvern und geht auf Anwendbarkeit, Besonderheiten bei Nanopulvern und wichtige Einstellparameter für die Messung ein.
Der Vortrag beleuchtet insbesondere die Herausforderungen die sich bei der Dispergierung der Nanopulver aufgrund der hohen Adhäsivkräfte ergeben. Die Bewertung der Probenpräparation ist nur indirekt zugänglich, aber essentiell für die Zuverlässigkeit der Messergebnisse. Anhand von Beispielen werden Lösungsvorschläge aufgezeigt. Der Vortrag schließt mit einem Vorschlag zur Strategie der Herangehensweise bei der Partikelgrößenbestimmung von Nanopulvern.
The use of increasingly finer starting powders up to nanopowders can also be observed in the field of ceramics. Their advantages consist, for example, in their lower activation energy, an increase in strength or unique optical properties. However, handling and characterization of the powders are much more difficult. The main reason for this is the very high adhesive forces between the particles and between particles and other surfaces, too. Therefore, submicron and even more so nanoparticles tend to agglomerate and their separation into primary particles during sample preparation prior to particle sizing is of particular challenge. A representative measurement sample is only obtained when it no longer contains agglomerates. The evaluation of the dispersion process and a decision on whether it was successful thus increases in importance for the reliability of the measurement results of particle sizing.
The presentation uses examples to show possible approaches and provides information on possible sources of error.
It is shown that successful granulometric characterisation of fine powders requires both an improved dispersion technique and very often an effective combination of two or more measurement methods.

Nach Anwendungsbeispielen und Vergleichen zu Ergebnissen mit anderen Messverfahren, wird das Verfahren in einer Zusammenfassung bewertet.

If the particle size decreases, the ratio of surface area to volume increases considerably. This provides benefits for all surface-driven processes that run faster or at lower temperatures than larger particles. However, handling and characterization of the nanopowders are much more difficult. Particularly polydisperse powders with irregular shape, as grinding products, represent a challenge. Granulometry in the submicron and nanoscale often leads to incorrect results without knowledge of particle morphology.
This presentation demonstrates potentials of using the volume-specific surface area (SV or VSSA) in the granulometric characterization of nanopowders, for instance, correlations between the volume-specific surface area and the median particle size are discussed considering the particle morphology and the model of the logarithmic normal distribution.
Moreover, the presentation deals with the optimal dispersion of nanopowders during sample preparation. Indirect ultrasound device with defined cooling was developed to prevent both contamination by sonotrode abrasion and sample changes by heat.
Successful granulometric characterization of nanopowders demands both improved dispersion technology and very often an effective combination of two or more measurement methods.

Graphene has been commercialized for over a decade. It is usually used in the form of suspensions or inks. In this study, we analyze the starting material for commercial functionalized graphene (FG) solutions and inks as well as their starting material (FG powders) using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Graphene was functionalized with fluorine, oxygen, ammonia, and carboxylic acid.
Our results suggest a significant effect of water and commercial resins on the presence as well as the morphological behavior of graphene and associated functionalized group. For example, XPS analysis shows some significant differences between the solutions and the starting materials (powders). These changes can be explained by the location of the functionalization at the outer most surface as indicated by Chemello et al.

In den vergangen Jahren hat das Umweltbewusstsein in der Bevölkerung stark zugenommen und somit auch das Interesse an der Vermeidung von anthropogenen (Schad-)Stoffen in der Umwelt. Eine (neue) Substanzklasse, deren Umweltauswirkungen noch nicht vollständig untersucht sind und die in den vergangenen Jahren immer mehr an Bedeutung gewonnen hat, sind (metallbasierte) Nanomaterialien. Im Gegensatz zu bspw. Elementspezies weisen Nanomaterialien eine Vielzahl von Eigenschaften auf und lassen sich nicht über nur ein Merkmal beschreiben - dies stellt eine große analytische Herausforderung dar. Hier haben sich vor allem die Feld-Fluss-Fraktionierung (AF4) und die single-particle-ICP-MS als leistungsstarke analytische Methoden herausgestellt. In (aquatischen) Umweltmatrizes (z.B. Oberflächengewässern) liegen neben artifiziellen auch natürliche Partikel vor, was eine weitere große Herausforderung für den Nachweis von Nanomaterialien darstellt.
Neben dem Nachweis von anthropogenen Stoffen in der Umwelt ist zudem deren ökotoxikologische Bewertung wichtig. In der aquatischen Ökotoxikologie werden hierzu Testorganismen mit den jeweiligen Substanzen über die Wasserphase exponiert. Effektkonzentrationen (EC50) werden dabei auf Basis der Konzentrationen in der Wasserphase abgeleitet - tatsächlich bioakkumulierte Mengen werden hierbei jedoch meist nicht ermittelt; eine weitere große Herausforderung besteht zudem in der Bewertung von Mischungstoxizitäten. Gängige Testorganismen sind u.a. Kieselalgen (Diatomeen). Diatomeen stehen am Anfang der Nahrungskette - toxikologisch relevante Metalle/Nanomaterialien können sich hierüber im Nahrungsnetz der Oberflächengewässer anreichern und ggf. nachhaltig auswirken.
Im ersten Teil des Vortrages werden zunächst neue elementanalytische Methoden zum Nachweis von metallbasierten Nanopartikeln in Umweltmatrizes auf Basis der AF4/ICP-SFMS sowie stabilen Isotopenlabeln am Beispiel von Eisennanopartikeln vorgestellt.
Im zweiten Teil wird eine neue elementanalytische Methode als komplementäre Technik zur ökotoxikologischen Bewertung von (Schad-)Stoffen vorgestellt. Die neue Methode basiert auf der on-line Kopplung von HPLC mit der single-cell-ICP-(ToF)-MS (sc-ICP-(ToF)-MS) [1, 3-5]. Hierüber konnten wir erfolgreich die automatisierte Multielementanalytik einzelner Diatomeen realisieren und zur Analyse von mit Metallen inkubierten Diatomeen (cyclotella meneghiniana) einsetzen. Wir konnten zeigen, dass die sc-ICP-ToF-MS zukünftig eine leistungsstarke, komplementäre Technik in der aquatischen Ökotoxikologie zum z.B. Test von Metallen und Nanomaterialien darstellt.
In recent years, the fabrication of laser-generated surface structures on metals such as titanium surfaces have gained remarkable interests, being technologically relevant for applications in optics, medicine, fluid transport, tribology, and wetting of surfaces.
The morphology of these structures, and so their chemistry, is influenced by the different laser processing parameters such as the laser fluence, wavelength, pulse repetition rate, laser light polarization type and direction, angle of incidence, and the effective number of laser pulses per beam spot area.
However, the characterization of the different surface structures can be difficult because of constraints regarding the analytical information from both depth and the topographic artifacts which may limit the lateral and depth resolution of elemental distributions as well as their proper quantification. A promising technique to investigate these structures even at the nano-scale is Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), a very surface sensitive technique that at the same time allows to perform depth-profiling, imaging and 3D-reconstruction of selected ion-sputter fragment distributions on the surface.
In this study we combine chemical analyses such as Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses with ToF-SIMS to fully characterize the evolution of various types of laser-generated micro- and nanostructures formed on Ti and Ti alloys at different laser fluence levels, effective number of pulses and at different pulse repetition rates (1 – 400 kHz), following irradiation by near-infrared ultrashort laser pulses (925 fs, 1030 nm) in air environment or under argon gas flow.
We show how this combined surface analytical approach allows to evaluate alteration in the surface chemistry of the laser-generated surface structures depending on the laser processing parameters and the ambient environment.
Reliable characterization of materials at the nanoscale regarding their physio-chemical properties is a challenging task, which is important when utilizing and designing nanoscale materials. Nanoscale materials pose a potential toxicological hazard to the environment and the human body. For this reason, the European Commission amended the REACH Regulation in 2018 to govern the classification of nanomaterials, relying on number-based distribution of the particle size.
Suitable methods exist for the granulometric characterization of monodisperse and ideally shaped nanoparticles. However, the evaluation of commercially available nanoscale powders is problematic. These powders tend to agglomerate, show a wide particle size distribution and are of irregular particle shape.
Zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and cerium oxide with particle sizes less than 100 nm were selected for the studies and different preparation methods were used comparatively.
First, the nanoparticles were dispersed in different dispersants and prepared on TEM-supported copper grids. Furthermore, individual powders were deposited on carbon-based self-adhesive pads. In addition, the samples were embedded by hot mounting and then ground and polished.
The prepared samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (including the transmission mode STEM-in-SEM) and Dynamic Light scattering. The software package ImageJ was used to segment the SEM images and obtain the particle sizes and shapes and finally the number-based particles size distribution with size expressed as various descriptors.
Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, nanoparticles are well established in research and industrial applications. A reliable characterization of their size, shape, and size distribution is not only mandatory to fully understand and exploit their potential and develop reproducible syntheses, but also to manage environmental and health risks related to their exposure and for regulatory requirements. To validate and standardize methods for the accurate and reliable particle size determination nanoscale reference materials (nanoRMs) are necessary. However, there is only a very small number of nanoRMs for particle size offered by key distributors such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and, moreover, few provide certified values. In addition, these materials are currently restricted to polymers, silica, titanium dioxide, gold and silver, which have a spherical shape except for titania nanorods. To expand this list with other relevant nanomaterials of different shapes and elemental composition, that can be used for more than one sizing technique, we are currently building up a platform of novel nanoRMs relying on iron oxide nanoparticles of different shape, size and surface chemistry. Iron oxide was chosen as a core material because of its relevance for the material and life sciences.
Electron microscopy applied in different operating modes, e.g., SEM, TEM or STEM-in-SEM, is the gold standard method to investigate the exact size and shape of individual nanoparticles. However, when fine nanoparticles with a non-monodisperse size distribution and non-spherical shapes are analysed, achieving an accurate result is challenging. Deviations in size measurements of more than 10% may occur. Understanding of the contrasts and sensitivities characteristic to the individual operating modes of an electron microscope is key in interpreting and evaluating quantitatively the measurement uncertainties needed for an eventual certification of specific nanoparticles via traceable results. Further, beyond the pure measurement, the other components in the analysis workflow with significant impact on the overall measurement uncertainties are the sample preparation and the image segmentation. In the present study the same areas of selected iron oxide fine nanoparticles (<25 nm) as reference nanomaterial (candidate) prepared on substrate for electron microscopy imaging are analysed correlatively with SEM, STEM-in-SEM and TEM with respect to their size and shape distribution. Individual significant measurement uncertainties are discussed, e.g., the sensitivity of secondary electron detectors of InLens-type to the surface morphology, particularly to the presence of an ultrathin organic coating or signal saturation effects on the particle edges, to electron beam exposure, to surface contamination, or the selection of the threshold for image segmentation. Another goal of this study is to establish a basis of analysis conditions which shall guarantee accurate results when both manual and particularly (semi-)automated segmentation approaches are applied. Advantages as well as limitations of the use of different electron microscopy operating modes, applied individually and correlatively, are highlighted.
The fabrication of laser-generated surface structures on titanium and titanium alloys has recently gained remarkable interests, being technologically relevant for applications in optics, medicine, fluid transport, tribology, and wetting of surfaces. The morphology of these structures, and so their chemistry, is influenced by the different laser processing parameters such as the laser fluence, wavelength, pulse repetition rate, the effective number of laser pulses per beam spot area, etc. A simple way to characterize laser-generated surface structures is by means of optical microscopy (OM) or white light interference microscopy (WLIM). The latter can address the surface topography, while having a lateral resolution limit of ~(lambda)/2 (lambda = illumination wavelength). To resolve morphologies with spatial periods significantly smaller than (lambda)/2, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is often used, taking benefit of the reduced de Broglie wavelength associated to the electrons of several keV energy. However, all the above-mentioned techniques lack the necessary depth-resolution to reveal and quantify sub-surface material modifications of these laser-generated structures. Time-of-Flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) represents a promising surface analytical technique for studying laser-induced chemical surface alterations since the method combines a high surface sensitivity with the capability to perform a depth-profiling of the laser-affected surface zone. In this study we combine WLIM and high-resolution SEM with ToF-SIMS to fully characterize the evolution of various types of laser-generated micro- and nanostructures formed on Ti-6Al-4V alloys upon irradiation by near infrared ultrashort laser pulses (1030 nm, 925 fs) at different laser fluence levels, effective number of pulses, and at different pulse repetition rates (1 – 400 kHz). We show how this combined surface analytical approach allows to evaluate alterations in the surface chemistry and topography of the laser-generated surface structures depending on the laser processing parameters
The European Commission has identified Advanced Manufacturing and Advanced Materials as two of six Key Enabling Technologies (KETs). It is considered that Metrology is a key enabler for the advancement of these KETs. Consequently, EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, has strengthened the role of Metrology for these KETs by enabling the creation of a European Metrology Network (EMN) for Advanced Manufacturing. The EMN is comprised of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs) from across Europe and was formally established in October 2021. The aim of the EMN is to provide a high-level coordination of European metrology activities for the Advanced Manufacturing community.
The EMN itself is organized in three sections representing the major stages of the manufacturing chain: 1) Advanced Materials, 2) Smart Manufacturing Systems, and 3) Manufactured Components & Products. The EMN for Advanced Manufacturing is engaging with stakeholders in the field of Advanced Manufacturing (large companies & SMEs, industry organisations, existing networks, and academia), as well as the wider Metrology community, including Technical Committees, to provide input for the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) on Metrology for Advanced Manufacturing.
This contribution will give an overview about the first version of the SRA prepared by the EMN for Advanced Manufacturing.
Interactions between a polymer and a substrate interface play a vital role in understanding the improvement in thin film material properties as well as serving as a model for nanocomposites. For any non-repulsive polymer-substrate interactions, polymer segments form an irreversibly adsorbed layer and show a slowdown in the glassy dynamics and thus an increase in the thermal glass transition temperature compared to the bulk-like values. The growth kinetics of the adsorbed layer showed a deviation for both poly (bisphenol-A carbonate) (PBAC) and polysulfone (PSU), two bulky polymers containing a functional group (phenyl ring) in the backbone, compared to conventional polymers previously studied like poly-2-vinyl pyridine (P2VP). This deviation was attributed to the bulkiness of the phenyl rings. . Further investigations into the influence of the adsorbed layer on glassy dynamics were conducted. The molecular mobility and glass transition for thin films of PBAC and PSU were compared to bulk samples of each polymer. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and ellipsometry were primarily used and additionally supported by sum frequency generation spectroscopy.

For any non-repulsive polymer-substrate interactions, polymer segments form an irreversibly adsorbed layer and show a slowdown in the glassy dynamics and thus an increase in the thermal glass transition temperature compared to the bulk-like values. The growth kinetics of the adsorbed layer obey a two-step mechanism: formation of immobilized layer with flat segmental conformations and a loosely bound layer with stretched chains pinned to the surface. Here the adsorbed layer was studied for: poly (bisphenol-A carbonate) (PBAC) and polysulfone (PSU), two bulky polymers containing a functional group (phenyl ring) in the backbone and compared to poly (2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP), where the backbone is a vinyl-derivative and the functional group (pyridine) is in the side chain. The growth kinetics for PBAC and PSU were found to deviate from the well-known mechanism, observed for polymers such as P2VP. Atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry were used for this investigation and was additionally supported by broadband dielectric spectroscopy.

In recent years, chromium (III) complexes have received a lot of attention as novel near-infrared (NIR) emitters triggered by the report on the first molecular ruby Cr(ddpd)2(BF4)3 with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 13.7% of its near infrared (NIR) emission band and a long luminescence lifetime of 1.122 ms at room temperature.[1] However, in an oxygen-containing environment, the photoluminescence quantum yields and luminescence lifetimes of these chromium(III) complexes show only very small values. This hampers their application as NIR luminescence labels. This application, that cannot be tackled by conventional deoxygenating approaches, requires suitable strategies to protect the luminescence of the chromium(III) complexes from oxygen quenching. An elegant approach to reduce the undesired luminescence quenching by triplet oxygen explored by us presents the incorporation of these chromium(III) complexes into different types of amorphous, non-porous silica nanoparticles, that can be simply surface functionalized, e.g., with targeting ligands and/or other sensor molecules. In this work, as first proof-of-concept experiments, a set of chromium (III) complexes constituting of different ligands and counter anions, were embedded into the core of silica nanoparticles. Subsequently, the optical properties of the resulting luminescent silica nanoparticles were spectroscopically assessed by steady state and time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. First results of time-resolved luminescence measurements confirm our design concept of nanoscale NIR emissive Cr(III) complex-based reporters
The Meticulous Approach: Fully traceable X-ray scattering data via a comprehensive lab methodology
(2021)
To find out if experimental findings are real, you need to be able to repeat them. For a long time, however, papers and datasets could not necessarily include sufficient details to accurately repeat experiments, leading to a reproducibility crisis. It is here, that the MOUSE project (Methodology Optimization for Ultrafine Structure Exploration) tries to implement change – at least for small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS).
In the MOUSE project, we have combined: a) a comprehensive laboratory workflow with b) a heavily modified, highly automated Xenocs Xeuss 2.0 instrumental component. This combination allows us to collect fully traceable scattering data, with a well-documented data flow (akin to what is found at the more automated beamlines). With two full-time researchers, the lab collects and interprets thousands of datasets, on hundreds of samples for dozens of projects per year, supporting many users along the entire process from sample selection and preparation, to the analysis of the resulting data.
While these numbers do not light a candle to those achieved by our hardworking compatriots at the synchrotron beamlines, the laboratory approach does allow us to continually modify and fine-tune the integral methodology. So for the last three years, we have incorporated e.g. FAIR principles, traceability, automated processing, data curation strategies, as well as a host of good scattering practices into the MOUSE system. We have concomitantly expanded our purview as specialists to include an increased responsibility for the entire scattering aspect of the resultant publications, to ensure full exploitation of the data quality, whilst avoiding common pitfalls.
This talk will discuss the MOUSE project1 as implemented to date, and will introduce foreseeable upgrades and changes. These upgrades include better pre-experiment sample scattering predictions to filter projects on the basis of their suitability, exploitation of the measurement database for detecting long-term changes and automated flagging of datasets, and enhancing MC fitting with sample scattering simulations for better matching of odd-shaped scatterers.
By automatically recording as much information as possible in automated laboratory setups, reproducibility and traceability of experiments are vastly improved. This presentation shows what such an approach means for the quality of experiments in an X-ray scattering laboratory and an automated synthesis set-up.
A brief introduction to the efforts we have done in our lab towards AI/ML analysis of SAXS data. For this, we need to extend the data with an extensive, structured hierarchy of metadata and associated data. A practical look into the information stored in our files, and the organization of the files in a data catalog is presented.
