Die Entwicklung von Wasserstoffbarrieren aus Glas erfordert die genaue Messung geringster H2-Permeabililtäten. Bisherige Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die VHE-Pulvermethode diesbezüglich eine besonders hohe Empfindlichkeit bietet. Hierbei wird die isotherme Gasabgabe aus sphärischen Partikeln im Rahmen klassischer Diffusionsmodelle gefittet und daraus der Diffusionskoeffizient bestimmt. Für die Untersuchung von Gläsern mit möglichst geringer H2-Permeabilität ist jedoch eine Validierung der Genauigkeit der Methode notwendig. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgte die numerische Modellierung der H2-Abgabe mit Hilfe des Programms COMSOL Multiphysics®. Im Poster wird der Einfluss der Korngrößenverteilung der Glaspulverpartikel, der Partikelform sowie der Effekt einer nichthomogenen H2-Startverteilung auf die mittels Pulvermethode ermittelten Diffusionskoeffizienten diskutiert.

Advanced methods for 3D green density characterization like computed tomography and 3D FE sinter modeling can be utilized for increasing the reliability of sintered components. The experimental in situ observation of sin-tering, however, is currently restricted to silhouette methods, i.e. heating microscopy. For complex shaped sam-ples, in situ shape screening during shrinkage would allow better validation of 3D sinter simulation models. Further, by revealing temporary sinter warpage, 3D high-temperature shape screening would allow to locate potential defects of complex sintered components. Against this background, BAM developed a testing device for in situ 3D high-temperature shape screening for ceramic and glass-ceramic tapes up to 1000°C [1-3]. Current work is focused on dropping this restriction in sample shape and temperature. The poster illustrates the current state of this work and possible applications of the method e.g. in detecting sinter warpage of metallized glass-ceramic LTCC tapes.
Um den Abbau primärer Rohstoffe zu reduzieren, wurden deponierte oder niederwertig eingesetzte industrielle Reststoffe hinsichtlich einer höherwertigen Verwendung im Betonbau untersucht. Zur Bewertung des Einsatzpotentials als Zementbestandteil oder Betonzusatzstoff erfolgte zunächst eine chemisch-mineralogische und betontechnologische Charakterisierung der Materialien. Reststoffe, die die normativen Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Zementzusammensetzung erfüllen, wurden anschließend zu verschiedenen Anteilen als Zementsubstitut in Mörtel eingesetzt. In vergleichenden Untersuchungen erfolgte die Ermittlung der Frisch- und Festmörteleigenschaften.
Kalorimetrische Untersuchungen sollten die Auswirkungen der Reststoffe auf die Zementhydratation zeigen. Ausgewählte Untersuchungsergebnisse an Reststoffen aus der Industrieabwasseraufbereitung, dem Altpapierrecycling, der Biomasseverbrennung und der Metallurgie werden vorgestellt.
Kiefernholz wird durch Imprägnieren mit einem Vorkondensat aus organischen Disäuren und Glycerin, das kolloidale Kieselsäure enthält, sowie nachfolgende Ofenhärtung in Kieselsäure/Alkydharz/Holz-Verbunde umgewandelt. Diese Nanoverbunde haben eine geringere Porosität als Holz, da Teile der Holzzellen mit Harz und Kieselsäure ausgefüllt sind. Die kugelförmigen, etwa 60 nm großen (SiO1)x-Teilchen liegen in der Polymermatrix mikrophasensepariert vor. Der kolloidale Zustand der eingebrachten Polykieselsäure bleibt erhalten. Durch ihr günstiges Eigenschaftsprofil sind die Verbundmaterialien als modifizierter Holzbaustoff interessant.
Hausmüllverbrennungsasche soll aufgrund ihrer chemisch-mineralogischen Eigenschaften als Gesteinskörnung zur Herstellung von Normalbetonen eingesetzt werden. Durch Bestandteile, wie Chloride, metallisches Aluminium und Altglasfragmente, entstehen aber in kürzester Zeit beträchtliche Betonschäden. Durch zusätzliche mechanische, chemische oder thermische Aufbereitungsschritte können diese betonschädigenden Inhaltsstoffe minimiert werden. Dadurch lässt sich die Qualität der Asche soweit verbessern, dass sie gut zur Betonherstellung verwendbar ist.
In the course of miniaturizing modern technology down to the molecular scale, much remain unknown about the materials behavior and the deviations from the bulk that might arises from confinement effects. Here, a combination of nano-sized relaxation spectroscopies (Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and Specific heat spectroscopy (SHS); employing AC nanochip calorimetry) were utilized to investigate the glassy dynamics of ultra-thin films of Poly (vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) and of blends PVME / Polystyrene (PS) 50:50 wt-%,, which are miscible in bulk (thicknesses: ca. 8 nm – 160 nm, film thickness was controlled by ellipsometry, film topography by AFM). Both methods are sensitive to different probes; where SHS senses entropy fluctuations while BDS measures dipole fluctuations. For BDS measurements, a recently developed nano-structured electrode sample arrangement is employed, where ultra-thin films are spin-coated on an ultra-flat highly conductive silicon wafer, sandwiched between a wafer with nanostructured SiO2 nano-spacers with heights between 35 nm and 70 nm. For PVME films, two thickness independent processes were observed and interpreted to be the α-processes of a bulk-like layer and a process due to an absorbed layer to the substrate. This adsorbed layer further undergoes a confinement effect that results in the localization of the segmental dynamics, which results in an Arrhenius-like temperature dependence. A detailed analysis of the dielectric strengths of both processes reveals that the thickness of the adsorbed layer decreases with increasing temperature, while that of the bulk-like layer increases. For the blend system, by measuring the dynamic Tg in dependence of the film thickness, SHS showed that the Tg of the whole film was strongly influenced by a nanometer-thick surface layer at the polymer/air interface due to a self-assembling process. The dynamic Tg obtained from the SHS measurements decreased with decreasing film thickness. On the other hand, BDS measurements showed a completely different behavior. At high temperatures, the temperature dependence of the relaxation times of the films follows that of bulk-like PS/PVME; obeying the VFT-law. With decreasing temperature, the temperature dependence deviates from the VFT to an Arrhenius law; where the apparent activation energy decreases with decreasing film thickness. This is the first example where confinement induced changes were observed by BDS for ultra-thin films. All results were analyzed in detail in a comprehensive discussion.
Successful implementation of an optical polarimetry measurement setup. Due to wall anchoring interactions HAT6 embedded in an untreated alumina membrane exhibits a radial orientation for pore sizes in between 30 nm and 80 nm. Embedded in large membranes, pore size of 180 nm, HAT6 forms the favored hexagonal columnar phase along the pore axis.
In the last years, secondary low-energy electrons (LEE) emerged as important, if not predominant, reductive pathway in ionizing damage of biomolecules. These electrons are created in copious amount as result of inelastic scattering of high energy radiation at water. Until now, all experiments the quantification of the effects of LEEs on the biomolecular damage was either performed in vacuum with LEE sources or with DNA on surfaces in humid atmosphere.
We present a new experimental setup to irradiate biomolecules with electrons under physiological conditions. In combination with monte carlo simulations this setup makes it possible to determine microdosimetric quantities for biomolecules in liquid environment under electron irradiation.
This opens up new possibilities in radiation research to access the LEE damage under well defined physiological condition, for more complex systems, such as DNA-Protein complexes and even living cells.
Time-resolved studies on the formation of maghemite nanoparticles combining fast-XANES and SAXS
(2016)
Iron oxide nanoparticles find application in different areas like sensing, magnetic storage media, and biomedicine, due to their magnetic properties and environment-friendliness.
In the present contribution, we report on the in situ investigation of an iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis by coupled X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The combination provides simultaneously information about the size of particles (SAXS) and on the oxidation state and the local structure of the iron atoms (XANES). The co-precipitation synthesis was exemplary studied, using a stabilization agent to decelerate the fast precipitation of the iron oxides. This allows to detect intermediates in situ. The measurements were performed using a custom-made acoustic levitator as sample holder. From the data, a mechanism was derived indicating different phases of particle Formation and oxidation state changes.
The ability to penetrate dielectric materials makes T-rays attractive to reveal discontinuities in polymer and ceramic materials. Changes of travelling time (ToF) and pulse shape due to the interactions of THz pulses with the dielectric material and its inherent discontinuities can be observed. A tomogram of the object under the test can be reconstructed from time of flight diffraction (ToFD) scans if a synthetic focusing aperture (SAFT) algorithm is applied.
Ceramic components with complex shape cannot be produced frequently by usual ceramic forming and sintering processes. Therefore, numerous joining methods were developed and introduced in industrial scale. Nowadays, multi-stage Mo-Mn-process and active brazing are preferentially used, if temperature-stable and gastight joints are required. Unfortunately, both processes involve cost-intensive thermal processes: hydrogenous atmosphere is essential for metallization in Mo-Mn-process and active brazing takes place under vacuum. Thermal processes can be drastically simplified by using Reactive Air Brazing (RAB). Joining under air atmosphere is an interesting alternative, especially to join oxide ceramic components among themselves. So far, main disadvantage of RAB is low strength of join connections.
Aim of this investigation was the development of high-strength, thermal shock resistant and gastight ceramic-ceramic joints by RAB. Therefore,
- commercial, silver and copper oxide containing RAB soldering composition was modified by addition of ceramic particles with low thermal expansion coefficients (TEC). Hence, thermal misfit between TEC of solder and ceramic components was significantly reduced.
- RAB soldering paste was replaced with newly developed RAB composite tapes, produced by ceramic “doctor blade” technology. Thereby, improved potential exist to tailor the brazing layer relating to composition, thickness and thickness uniformity.
Gastight alumina-alumina, alumina-zirconia and zirconia-zirconia joints with strongly improved strength were produced by novel composite tapes. No strength degradation of joints was observed after thermal cycling up to 700°C.
The wetting behavior of material surfaces can be controlled by surface structures. We functionalized inorganic material surfaces, such as steel, titanium alloy and silicon, to modify the wetting behavior using ultrashort laser pulses (fs- to ps-range). The laser processing was performed by scanning the laser beam across the surface of initially polished flat sample material. A combined experimental and theoretical study of the laser processing parameters (peak fluence, scan velocity, line overlap) allowed the identification of different regimes associated with characteristic surface morphologies (laser-induced periodic surface structures, grooves, micro cones, dimples, etc.). Analyses of the surface using optical as well as scanning electron microscopy allowed the identification of morphologies providing the optimum similarity to the natural skin of lizards. For mimicking skin structures of moisture-harvesting lizards towards an optimization of the surface wetting behavior, additionally, a two-step laser processing strategy was established for realizing hierarchical micro- and nanostructures. In this approach, a laser-generated regular array of small dimples was superimposed (step 2) to the micron-scaled capillaries processed before (step 1). Optical focus variation imaging measurements finally revealed the three dimensional topography of the laser processed surfaces derived from lizard skin structures. The functionality of these surfaces was analyzed in view of wetting properties.
Large area periodic surface structures were generated on steel surfaces using 30-fs laser pulses at 790 nm wavelength. Two types of steel exhibiting a different corrosion resistance were used, i.e. a plain structural steel (corrodible) and a stainless steel (resistant to corrosion). Homogeneous fields of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were realized utilizing laser fluences close to the ablation threshold while scanning the sample under the focused laser beam in a multi-pulse regime. The nanostructures were characterized with optical and scanning electron microscopy. For each type of steel, more than ten dentical samples were laser-processed.
These samples were subjected to microbial adhesion tests, investigating bacterial adhesion behavior on the laser structures in comparison to polished reference surfaces. Short term experiments (<24h) were carried out to determine initial biofilm development. E. coli as a typical bacterium representing pathogenic bacteria and Shewanella putrefaciens as metal corrosive bacterium were used for biofilm development analyses. Bacterial cell adhesion was determined microscopically after DAPI cell staining (DNA staining). Comparison of the coverage areas between nanostructured and polished surfaces revealed differences in cell adhesion behavior and biofilm structure.
Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were generated on titanium nitride (TiN) hardcoating surfaces (deposited on metallic substrates) upon irradiation with multiple linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses in air (30 fs duration, 790 nm wavelength, 1 kHz pulse repetition rate). The conditions were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry for the processing of large surface areas (5 mm x 5 mm) covered homogeneously by nanostructures with sub-wavelength periods ranging between ~200 nm and 700 nm. For these nanostructures the coefficient of friction was characterized under reciprocating sliding condition against a ball of hardened steel at 1 Hz using different lubricants (regime of mixed friction). After 1000 cycles, the corresponding wear tracks were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy. High-resolution energy dispersive X-ray analyzes (EDX) allowed the visualization of chemical alterations within the wear tracks. For specific conditions, the nanostructures endured the tribological treatment. Our experiments provide a qualification of the tribological performance of the fs-LIPSS on TiN surfaces.
Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS, ripples) were generated on steel and titanium surfaces upon irradiation with multiple linear polarized femtosecond laser pulses (pulse duration 30 fs, central wavelength 790 nm). The experimental conditions (laser fluence, spatial spot overlap) were optimized in a sample-scanning geometry for the processing of large surface areas covered homogeneously by the nanostructures. The irradiated surface regions were subjected to optical microscopy (OM), white light interference microscopy (WLIM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealing sub-wavelength spatial periods. The nanostructured surfaces were tribologically tested under reciprocal sliding conditions against a sphere of hardened 100Cr6 steel at 1 Hz using paraffin oil and engine oil as lubricants. After 1000 sliding cycles at a load of 1.0 N, the corresponding wear tracks were characterized by OM and SEM. For specific conditions the laser-generated nanostructures endured the tribological treatment. Simultaneously, a significant reduction of the friction coefficient was observed in the laser-irradiated (LIPSS-covered) areas when compared to the non-irradiated surface, indicating the potential benefit of laser surface structuring for tribological applications.
For the characterization of disperse and porous solids, usually single gas adsorption(GA) is employed. In the case of liquid adsorption (LA), the extraction of information on solids immediately becomes a more sophisticated matter since information on geometric as well energetic parameters of the solids is both superposed by liquid-mixture effects and displayed in excess terms. We have to ask if reliable solid parameters can be also obtained from LA isotherms. The enlarged data bank of gas and liquid adsorption measurements enables us to change systematically solid parameters (e.g., the pore width of MCM-41, the pore entrances of SBA-16, chemical heterogeneity) and to study in this way the influence of solid parameters on LA.
Ionic Liquids (ILs) are employed in various fields, for example, reaction engineering (reactions with gases, such as hydroformylation (CO, H2), hydrogenation (H2), oxidation (O2)) or separation technology (separations of gases, reactants, and high-volatility reaction products). For the basic engineering of such processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory. This contribution reports on recent experimental results from our laboratory: – for the simultaneous solubility of a binary gas mixture in a pure ionic liquid – for the solubility of a single gas in a binary liquid solvent mixture.
The term „Alternative Solvents“ often refers to ionic liquids (ILs), mainly to distinguish these substances from traditional (i.e., molecular) solvents.
In applications, any „alternative“ is required to perform better than something that is proven and tested.
To bring ILs into practical use, availability and costs are the fundamental points to be addressed.
There are two ways to proceed:
▬ tailoring a molecule, implanting the expected characteristics
advantage: optimization of the targeted performance possible
risks: outcome not always foreseeable, costly and time-intensive (“trial and error“)
▬ to target on mixtures of well-characterized ILs with molecular solvents
advantage: substance characteristics are known, less costly, less time-consuming,
mixture composition another tunable parameter
risks: the same but with less impact
For the basic engineering of technical processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of
mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory.
This contribution reports on recent experimental results from our laboratory:
▬ the solubility of CO2 in a mixture of water and [bmim][CH3SO4]
▬ the solubility of CO2 in a mixture of methanol and [bmim][PF6]
While polymorphism is a common phenomenon in the crystallization processes of organic compounds, polyamorphism has gained importance only recently. Using sophisticated sample environments and applying in situ scattering methods and vibrational spectroscopy, the complete crystallization process of organic compounds from solution can be traced and characterized. Diffuse scattering from amorphous intermediates can be investigated by analyzing the atomic pair Distribution function (PDF) to gain further insights into molecular pre-orientation. The crystallization behavior of Paracetamol was studied exemplarily under defined, surface-free conditions. Based on the choice of the solvent, the formation of different polymorphs is promoted. The thermodynamically stable form I and the metastable orthorhombic form II could be isolated in pure form directly from solution. For both polymorphs, the crystallization from solution proceeds via a distinct amorphous precursor phase. PDF analyses of these different amorphous states indicate a specific pre-orientation of the analyte molecules introduced by the solvent. The resulting crystalline polymorph is already imprinted in these proto-crystalline precursors. Direct experimental evidence for the polyamorphism of paracetamol is provided.
One-part-geopolymers, produced by addition of water to a mixture of solid silica and sodium alumi-nate, are a less exhaustively studied approach to form geopolymeric binders. Depending on the silica source, the reaction products show significant amounts of zeolite Na-A besides amorphous compounds. Previously, 29Si MAS NMR has been used to analyze the chemical structure of such one-part geopolymers, having crystalline structures and amorphous phases (Q2, Q3, Q4).
In this work, pure zeolites and three different one-part-geopolymers cured for 1 day were investigated by 29Si-27Al TRAPDOR NMR. It was used to identify aluminum phases in overlapping silicon sites. Zeolites Na-X (Si/Al=1.4) and Na-Y (Si/Al=2.7) served as model systems to measure the TRAPDOR effect of the structural units Q4(mAl). Both materials show several Q4(mAl) signals, which are all separated by their chemical shifts. The more aluminum surrounds the silicon tetrahedron the higher are the normalized TRAPDOR difference signals (S0/∆S). The intensity ratios between Q4(mAl) to Q4({m-1}Al) of these signals is fixed but vary slightly between both zeolites. These results are transferred to the complex geopolymer structure.
Mechanochemistry is increasingly used for synthesizing various materials including cocrystals and metal organic compounds. Although this synthesis approach offers a fast and pure synthesis in high yields there is a lack in understanding the mechanisms of milling reactions. The driving forces triggering the formation of cocrystals under milling conditions were investigated using a set of multi-component competitive milling reactions. In these reactions, different active pharmaceutical ingredients were ground together with a further compound acting as coformer. The study was based on new cocrystals including the coformer anthranilic acid. The results of the competitive milling reactions indicate that the formation of cocrystals driven by intermolecular recognition are influenced and inhibited by kinetic aspects including the formation of intermediates and the stability of the reactants.
Ultrasonic echo testing has become a common method in civil engineering for the investigation of concrete structures. The detection of inhomogeneities, reinforcing elements and the geometry of the object is required for quality assurance and Inspection. This assessment depends on the quality of ultrasonic images which can be improved by using Reverse Time Migration (RTM) rather than the standard method, Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT). Although RTM provides a better mapping of circular objects and (dipping) reflectors, the image is corrupted by migration noise. To suppress the image noise, we have tested various filter methods in the spatial domain, frequency domain as well as in the curvelet domain on ultrasonic RTM images. We found that either a spatial edge detection filter in combination with a lowpass filter (Laplacian of Gaussian filter) or two lowpass filter with different filter parameters (Difference of Gaussian filter) removed artefacts. An additional smoothing was obtained by applying the first generation curvelet transform after downsampling the image matrix and adding Gaussian noise. The proposed filter scheme is able to suppress RTM noise and enhance the image quality such that the objective interpretation of ultrasonic images for Quality assessment of concrete specimen is simplified.
One of the alternative renewable fuels is biomass but it is a difficult fuel because of its diversity and complexity. It can contain high percentages of K and Cl responsible for corrosion together with sand that have additionally an abrasive effect during combustion. Because of permanently extending the surface reaction due to abrasion the corrosion of the materials increases. In particular in power plants, the superheater tubes are exposed to a corrosive abrasive attack that is one of the main sources of concern. The development of new alloys for multilayer surface, which combines corrosive and abrasive resistance is therefore of high importance. Those new technical approaches must be at the same time cost-effective to be an alternative to conventional materials. The aim of the presented investigation methods is to test and develop suitable alloys for coatings for the super heater tubes of biomass power plants. First results of abrasion investigations show improved abrasion resistance compared to the multi-component reference material Alloy 625.
The integration of finite element method (FEM) into the least-squares adjustment presented in is further extended for a joint evaluation of an elastostatic model and displacement field measurement. For linear solids which obey the Hooke's law, the material parameters determination from measurements is being examined.
Hard materials consist of a hard phase embedded in a metallic binder. In order to achieve high toughness and strength, it is necessary to have a perfect mixing of hard phase and binder, which is mainly achieved by ball milling. Niobium carbide (NbC) has a high potential to substitute tungsten carbide as hard material.
The publication presents the development of stable homogeneous and de-agglomerated NbC-dispersions. To prevent agglomeration of the powder, stable suspensions were achieved by surface treatments with the dispersants (PD and HD), which resulted in a charge reversal from a negative to a positive zeta potential. This surface-modified powder guaranteed a stable re-dispersion in the binder suspension. Nickel powder was added as metallic binder. This suspension was suited for 3D-printing. The green samples could be sintered in vacuum or Argon atmosphere.
Microbial induced corrosion (MIC) is a crucial problem in many technical plants as well as fuel tanks, leading to considerable damage and huge financial losses. Successful prevention of MIC requires the localization of first signs of corrosion as well as the identification of factors influencing the corrosion process. In this respect, also the determination of corrosion rates can be of interest for the possible prevention of MIC. Hence, there is a growing need for sensitive and preferably inexpensive tools that enable the early detection of MIC. Of special interest are methods, which provide spatially and time-resolved information and allow the study of changes on metal surfaces as prerequisites for a more detailed analysis of ongoing corrosion processes at a MIC-affected site.
Biofilm formation can lead to changes in pH, oxygen and chloride concentration as well as to the release of certain metal ions like Fe(II) and Mn(II) depending on the type of metal surface involved. Hence, optical methods enabling the detection of these analytes at very low concentration and monitoring of their changes can be used for MIC detection. Here, we propose to utilize polymeric nanosensors for MIC detection via the determination of the local pH value changes in different biofilms. Such nanosensors are known to have several advantages in imaging applications such as intracellular pH measurements including the ease of doping or labeling with a multitude of analyte-responsive and inert dye molecules for the realization of a high analyte sensitivity and ratiometric sensing. Moreover, they can be surface functionalized with target-specific ligands e.g., lectins, for the specific binding to the outer surface of certain types of bacteria. In this respect, different polymer architectures will be studied to identify an optimal candidate in terms of imaging performance in conjunction with several classes of pH-responsive fluorescent dyes like cyanines, aza-BODIPYs, and xanthenes, utilizing different mechanism of signal generation such as photo-induced electron transfer or protonation-induced changes in the spectral position of absorption and emission spectra.
Current pollen screening information networks are based on time-consuming, microscopic determination of the genus-specific pollen morphology. Additionally, the given information relies on prediction of plant growth, wind direction and seasonal information.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was introduced for rapid analysis of complex biological samples. MALDI-TOF provides the possibility to measure species-specific mass peak patterns of pollen and offers a powerful tool for investigation of taxonomic relations.
Our objective is to develop a fast, reliable, routine method for detecting single pollen grains in pollen mixtures. The obtained spectra are analyzed by multivariate statistics.
The controlled production of supramolecular aggregates formed by the self-assembly of dendritic amphiphiles is of great interest owing to their potential application in the fields of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Dendritic amphiphiles as building blocks offer the advantage that their structure and size can be precisely tuned through organic synthesis. This synthetic flexibility enables the fine-tuning of the hydrophobic to hydrophilic ratio of the dendritic segments, which mainly controls the morphology of the self-assembled structures.
A promising method for the controlled preparation of supramolecular assemblies is based on the use of micromixers.[5,6] Due to their mixing times in the range of milliseconds at the microscale level, the application of such microfluidic systems benefits from a high mixing efficiency, a low mixing time and a reproducible synthesis compared to conventional batch-based techniques such as the solvent injection method or the film hydration method.
Herein, we report on the microfluidic-assisted self-assembly of several dendritic amphiphiles and the impact of the mixing parameters on the self-assembly process.
The use of high-performance concretes holds great promise for many structural applications. This paper investigates the performance of these materials when used in combination with traditional reinforcing bars. An improved understanding of failure during reinforcing bar pull-out from high-performance concretes is needed in order to better predict the embedment length required to develop full reinforcing bar pull-out strength and the required thickness of reinforcing bar cover for adequate corrosion protection. The cracking structures surrounding the reinforcing bars were analyzed using x-ray computed tomography (CT) in order to determine the stress states causing failure. This was accomplished by conducting in-situ reinforcing bar pull-out experiments during CT scanning. A conventional concrete, a high-strength concrete, and a high-strength fiber reinforced concrete were all tested during the experiments. The results of these experiments showed that the levels of brittleness of the different concrete materials had a major impact on the failure mechanisms that they experienced during reinforcing bar pull-out. It was also clear that the specimen geometry and the casting method had a major impact on fiber orientation. The inclusion of fibers within concrete was also found to significantly improve strength and corrosion protection during reinforcing bar pull-out.
High resolution in situ monitoring of the initial cement hydration influenced by organic admixtures
(2015)
Numerous admixtures are used in the building practice to customize the properties of the cement paste during application. The influences of admixtures on the course of cement hydration and formation of hydrate phases have to be considered. Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based polymeric superplasticizers (SPs) are known to retard the setting of the cement paste. The extent of the retardation differs depending on the molecular structure of the SP. Additionally, the presence of a stabilizing agent (SA) in the cement paste has a retarding side effect on the setting. The initial cement hydration processes and the detailed mechanisms of the retardation influenced by PCEs, as well as their interactions with particular SAs, are insufficiently understood. Up to now, only the results of phenomenological studies were taken into account to describe this retardation process. A detailed structure analysis monitoring the change of the phase composition during the hydration was never applied. Both SP and SA affect the adsorption of the sulphate ions on the clinker particles, causing changes in the formation of ettringite during the initial hydration, and are therefore a crucial part of the setting process itself. Here, the initial hydration of cement influenced by the interaction of SP and SA was monitored in situ by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The high time resolution of the measurements allowed a continuous detection of the hydrates formed. The hydration was followed from the starting point of water addition and for couple of hours afterwards. The hydration of the levitated cement pellets containing starch as SA was initialized by adding aqueous solutions of different commercial SPs. Changes in the ettringite formation were detected in comparison to the reference hydration of pure cement.

Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is characterized by high strength and high durability. This is achieved by an optimized grain size distribution, especially within fine grains, and addition of superplasticizer, which allow the reduction of the water/cement ratio in the cement paste and thereby the increase of the density of UHPC. Thermal treatment, i.e. curing at elevated temperature and pressure, contributes to a further increase of compressive strength. The aim of the presented study was to analyze the effect of thermal treatment at 90 ◦C and atmospheric pressure on UHPC samples. Varying factors were the age of the samples when heat treatment started (initial storage time), the duration of heat treatment and the type of heat treatment. It was applied in three ways: 1. treated without any protection, 2. sealed in plastic foil and 3. treated in hot water. Afterwards the samples were analyzed with respect to their mechanical properties and their phase composition. Furthermore, the weight (water absorption) of the samples was observed over 28 days and was correlated with the strength test results. The development of strength depends on the combination of initial storage time and the duration of heat treatment and is also influenced by the type of thermal treatment. The highest compressive strengths have been observed by implementing the hot water treatment. Thereby the weight of the samples increase due to additional absorbed water. This enables an increased hydration of cement clinker inducing a higher strength.
Lightweight granules are mineral, spherical and porous particles with bulk density less than 2000 kg m . New types of lightweight granules are made from masonry -3 rubble as an alternative to the commonly used expanded clay and shale. They are produced in a multistage manufacturing process by thermal or hydrothermal treatment. Studies of the microstructure of the new lightweight granules are very important to optimise the engineering properties with regard to different applications from lightweight concrete to planting substrates and wastewater treatment. Here, the results of porosity and pore structure measurements are presented. Characteristic samples with different bulk densities of both thermally and hydrothermally hardened granules have been analysed by means of various methods.
Leichte Gesteinskörnungen mit Kornrohdichten < 2 g/cm³ werden industriell aus natürlichen Rohstoffen, wie Ton und Schiefer, hergestellt. Dabei fallen hohe Energiekosten an, während außerdem fortwährend die Verfügbarkeit geeigneter Rohstoffe sinkt. Eine Alternative stellen Leichtgranulate, die aus mineralischen Bau- und Abbruchabfällen hergestellt werden, dar.
Im Forschungsprojekt „Aufbaukörnungen“ wurde eine Technologie zur Herstellung hochwertiger leichter Gesteinskörnungen aus Mauerwerkbruch entwickelt. Ziegelhaltige Bau- und Abbruchabfälle fallen in Deutschland mit bis zu 26 Mio. t pro Jahr an und weisen größere Verwertungsdefizite als Betonbruch auf. Der neuen Verwertungsstrategie liegt die Idee des rohstofflichen Recyclings zu Grunde.
Die leichten Gesteinskörnungen werden am Ende eines mehrstufigen Herstellungsprozesses durch thermische oder hydrothermale Erhärtung im Labor- und halbtechnischen Maßstab produziert. Für Herstellungstechnologie und Eigenschaften der Leichtbetone sind neben Kornfestigkeit und Rohdichte die Porosität und Wasseraufnahme der leichten Gesteinskörnungen entscheidende Größen, die wiederum von Kornform, Oberflächenrauigkeit, Sinterschale und Porenstruktur der Körnungen beeinflusst werden.

Worldwide, cement and concrete experts are at the cutting-edge to sustainable, green, healthy but nonetheless high-Performance concrete. The current relatively low development of the cement and concrete industry in Africa offers the unique opportunity to start directly on the best achievable and sustainable Level, if only Expertise is sufficiently available. It should not be neglected that concrete is a product with comparably low Transport ranges, which means that an improved concrete market will mainly Support the local economy without exceeding financial Drains to the international market, thus fostering the fight against poverty, which is an urgent Need in most African countries.

Die Fixierung der Stahlanker im Felsfundament zur Stabilisierung der Schwergewichtsmauer werden mit integrierten faseroptischen Dehnungssensoren überwacht.
In die Glasfaser sind Reflektoren eingebaut; zwei Reflektoren bilden jeweils eine Messstrecke, die Auskunft über die Fixierung geben. Am Ankerkopf wird der Zustand der Messstrecken abgefragt.
Im Hinblick auf eine nachhaltige Entwicklung sollen nach dem KrW/AbfG der Rohstoffeintrag und der Abfallaustrag in den Lebensphasen eines Bauwerks durch weitgehende Verwertung von Sekundärrohstoffen (Reststoffen) möglichst gering gehalten werden. Ein Einsatz von Reststoffen wie Hausmüllverbrennungsaschen (MV-Aschen) im Betonbau kann potenziell einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur nachhaltigen
Entwicklung leisten.
Untersucht wurde der Einfluss der Applikationsart (konventionelle und gespritzte Herstellung, Wasserlagerung bis zur Prüfung), der Einfluss von Fasern (konventionelle Herstellung, Wasserlagerung bis zur Prüfung) und der Einfluss von Schwindreduzierern (konventionelle Herstellung, Luftlagerung bis zur Prüfung).
Modern CO2-reduced power plants with Oxyfuel-Combustion operate with gas compositions of high CO2 partial pressure and steam (Boiler, Recycling). The corrosion process occurring under such service conditions is different from that under current conditions with air combustion. The effect of temperature, pressure, chromium content on the corrosion reaction of typical power plant steels in CO2 -H2O and CO-H2O-O2 was investigated.
Beim bispektralen Verfahrensprinzip (auch 2-Monochromatoren-Methode genannt) zur Charakterisierung fluoreszierender Reflexionsproben wird das Probenmaterial monochromatisch bestrahlt und für jede dieser anregenden Wellenlängen das emittierte Spektrum monochromatisch gemessen. Dies hat gegenüber einer polychromatischen Anregung (z. B. Normlichtart D65) den Vorteil, dass spektrale Materialfunktionen (Gesamt-, Reflexions- und Lumineszenz-Strahldichtefaktoren sowie das Lumineszenz-Anregungsspektrum) und diverse Farbmaßzahlen (Sicherheits- und Kontrastfarben; Referenzmaterial) für beliebige Anregungsspektren (Normlichtarten) bestimmt werden können.

Modern municipal solid waste incinerator plants produce bottom ashes, which are used in building industry, especially as base course in road constructions. Because of a highly sophisticated reprocessing technique, the ashes Show a relatively stable composition, comparatively well defined properties and environmentally relevant Parameters below legal Limits. Due to its chemical and mineralogical characteristics, the bottom ash can in principle be used as Aggregate in the production of normal strength concrete. However, if the ash contains concrete damaging components Recycling becomes problematic.
To assess the use of municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (MSWI bottom ash) as Aggregate in concrete, different additionally treated ashes were chemical and physical characterised. Furthermore, concrete specimens with bottom ash as aggregates were produced and their Engineering properties were studied.
Holzschutzmittel gegen den biologischen Angriff von Insekten, Pilzen und Bakterien besitzen eine erhebliche volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung. Zur Vermeidung einer in der DIN EN 252 beschriebenen rein visuellen Beurteilung wurde 1996 durch die BAM auf Grundlage des in der DIN 52186 enthaltenen Biegeversuchs eine alternative Strategie vorgeschlagen. In weiterführenden Untersuchungen soll ergänzend zur Prüfmaschine die Stereo-Fotogrammetrie als optisches 3D-Messverfahren eingesetzt werden. Die Entwicklung eines möglichst objektiven und technisch einfachen Nachweisverfahrens der Schutzwirkung und die vergleichende Bewertung der Aussagekraft beider Normen sind von besonderem Interesse.
Processed building rubble containing about 90 % of crushed concrete can be used as recycling aggregates. The reuse for the production of new high-grade concrete requires a knowledge of the engineering properties as well as the pore structure of These materials. Two recycling aggregates and the concretes made with them were studied.
Inorganic-organic nanocomposites are synthesised from polyethylene glycol with an average molar mass of 600 g/mol containing colloidal silica (silicic acid) and diphenyl methane diisocyanate as compact and foamed materials according to the European patent EP1414880. Beside the macroscopic properties, the pore structure and the structure of the polymer matrix of the silica/polyurethane nanocomposites with varying silica contents were studied.
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is characterised by compressive strengths above 150 MPa and an outstanding durability. These properties are achieved by optimisation of the mixture composition, the mixing procedure as well as the curing conditions of the concrete. Heat curing as well as the use of vacuum mixers may contribute to the high strength. The very high brittleness of UHPC can be compensated by the addition of steel or polymer fibres.
UHPC is produced using a very low water/cement ratio of 0.25 or smaller in combination with adding of polycarboxylate ether based superplasticisers. Furthermore, finest cements with contents of 500 kg/m³, defined selections of coarse and fine aggregates with a maximum grain size between 0.5 and 8 mm and fine pozzolanic (silica fume, fly ash) and inert additives (quartz filler) are used. In doing so, the aim is to obtain a very high packing density of the cement paste matrix and the aggregate/paste interface while a very homogeneous microstructure with a high calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) portion is formed.
In the case of optimal mixing and curing conditions, UHPC contains almost no pores and microcracks. Therefore, studies of porosity and pore structure are very important to characterise UHPC materials in connection with the mixture optimisation. Here, the experimental results for UHPC are presented in comparison with those of high-strength concrete (100 MPa) and normal-strength concrete (35 MPa), respectively.
Im Rahmen eines DFG-Forschungsvorhabens (FOR 537) wird ein Teilprojekt an der BAM bearbeitet. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die quantitative Beschreibung und Bewertung des Korrosionsfortschrittes an Stahlproben mit kleinen Kathodenflächen (Eigenkorrosion) mittels elektrochemischer Messungen. Für die Untersuchungen wurden Betonproben mit eingebetteten Stahlelektroden hergestellt. Dabei wurden gezielt betontechnologische Parameter variiert. Dabei ist der Beton als Elektrolyt zu betrachten. Nach bestimmten Zeitintervallen werden die Betonproben aufgebrochen und die eingebetteten Stahlelektroden durch visuelle Inspektion und anschließende Bestimmung des Masseverlustes bewertet. Zur Charakterisierung des Betons (Elektrolyt) dient das Verfahren der Quecksilberporosimetrie. Mit dem Verfahren lassen sich die Zusammenhänge zwischen den betontechnologischen Parametern und der Porenstruktur aufzeigen und mittels der umfangreichen Variation der Betonparameter die Auswirkung auf den Korrosionsfortschritt nachweisen.
Ultrahochfeste Betone (UHPC) sind durch Druckfestigkeiten > 150 MPa und eine besonders hohe Dauerhaftigkeit gekennzeichnet. Ihre Herstellung gelingt durch die Optimierung der Mischungszusammensetzung, des Mischprozesses und der Nachbehandlung. Maßnahmen dazu bestehen in der Verwendung feinstgemahlener Zemente, puzzolanischer und inerter Feinststoffe, dem Einsatz gezielt ausgewählter grober und feiner Gesteinskörnungen, der Reduktion des Wasser/Bindemittel-Wertes bei Zugabe von Fließmitteln auf Polycarboxylat-Basis sowie einer Wärmebehandlung der Betone.
Das Ziel dabei ist es, eine möglichst hohe Packungsdichte in der Bindemittelmatrix bei Ausbildung einer sehr gleichmäßigen und extrem dichten Gefügestruktur mit einem hohen Anteil an Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen zu erreichen. Deshalb sind Untersuchungen zur Porosität und Porenstruktur ein wichtiger Bestandteil zur Materialcharakterisierung im Rahmen der Mischungsoptimierung. Die Ergebnisse der Mikrostrukturuntersuchungen werden im Vergleich zu denen an einem hochfesten Beton und einem Normalbeton betrachtet.
Im Rahmen von MICROCON, einem europäischen CRAFT-Projekt,
besteht eine wesentliche Zielsetzung in der Optimierung von selbstverdichtendem Beton (SVB) im Hinblick auf Kosten und Leistungsfähigkeit durch den Einsatz von teilweise puzzolanischen Microfillern. Um die Puzzolanität bei der Beurteilung besser bewerten zu können, wird ein Referenzbeton benötigt, der aus weitestgehend inerten Zusatzstoffen besteht. Die Entwicklung eines solchen Referenzbetons fand an der BAM nach der japanischen Methode nach Okamura statt.
Ziel der Untersuchungen war es, herauszufinden ob die Druckfestigkeit hochfester Betone zerstörungsfrei mit dem Rückprallhammer PROCEQEQUOSCHMIDT durch Ermittlung des klassischen Rückprallwerts R in Kombination, mit einem aus der Untersuchung von Metallen bekannten neuen Messwert L mit ausreichender Sicherheit beschrieben werden kann.
Die Regelwerke (RL SIB, ZTV-ING) setzen für die Instandsetzung mit Betoninstandsetzungssystemen vergleichsweise hochwertige Betonuntergründe voraus. Speziell bei älterenWasserbauwerken sind oftmals nur geringerfeste Betonuntergründe vorhanden für die es bis jetzt keine geeigneten und geprüften Instandsetzungssysteme gab. Grundlage für die Entwicklung solcher Systeme sind entsprechende Referenzbetone als Untergrundbeton für die Verbundkörperprüfung.
Der Filterschlamm (FS) fällt als Reststoff bei der Abwasserbehandlung des Chemiewerkes an. Er liegt als feinteiliges Granulat vor und enthält als Hauptbestandteil amorphe Kieselsäure. Damit eröffnet sich die Möglichkeit, ihn wie einen mineralischen Zusatzstoff bei der Beton- und Mörtelherstellung zu verwenden.
Als Betonzusatzstoff werden fein aufgeteilte Zusätze zum Beton bezeichnet, die durch chemische und/oder physikalische Wirkung die Betoneigenschaften beeinflussen, und die als Stoffraumkomponente zu berücksichtigen sind.
Recyclingzuschläge (rezyklierte Gesteinskörnungen, Betonsplitt) werden großtechnisch aus dem Material, das beim Abbruch von Betonbauwerken anfällt, hergestellt. Sie bestehen zu mehr als 90% aus Altbeton. Die Wiederverwendung dieser Materialien zur Herstellung von neuen hochwertigen Beton erfordert umfangreiche Kenntnisse über ihre betontechnologischen und chemisch-physikalischen Eigenschaften. Zwei unterschiedliche Recyclingzuschläge und die damit hergestellten Betone wurden im Vergleich zu einem Referenzbeton mit natürlichen Zuschlägen gleicher Sieblinie untersucht.
Hochfeste Betone werden durch die Zugabe puzzolanischer Zusatzstoffe (Microsilica, Flugasche) und die Reduzierung des Wasser-Zement-Wertes bei gleichzeitiger Verwendung eines Fließmittels hergestellt. Diese Modifizierungen des Betons beeinflußen die Zusammensetzung und die Mikrostruktur seiner Mörtelmatrix.
Das Hochtemperatur-Laserprofilometer der BAM4 ermöglicht eine 3D-Formerkennung an keramischen Folien oder anderen flachen Objekten während thermischer Behandlungen wie zum Beispiel bei laufenden Entbinderungs- oder Sinterprozessen. Mit dem Lasertriangulationssensor werden das Höhenprofil, die lateralen und axialen Schwindungen und andere charakteristische Maße der Probe wie die Folienbreite und -dicke, Abstände zwischen spezifischen Merkmalen oder Krümmungen bestimmt. Somit können insbesondere auch Deformationen und Verwerfungen der Objekte sowie Schwindungsinhomogenitäten an strukturierten Objekten erkannt und mit dem Herstellungsprozess verknüpft werden.
