A new R2R capable process to produce platinum-poor fuel cells was presented in the lab scale. Platinum particles were deposited electrochemically on a mesoporous carbon carrier with various carbon carriers (Super P Li, Denka Black Li 400, Denka Black Li 435, Ketjenblack EC300). FESEM images showed particles in the range of 50 nm one the electrode surface. The catalyst containing electrodes were transferred via hot press from different metallic and polymeric decal materials on a polymer exchange membrane. First functional membrane electrode assemblies show the proof-of-principles of this new process. / Ein neuer R2R-fähiger Prozess für die Herstellung platinumarmer Brennstoffzellen wurde im Labormaßstab etabliert.

The yarn tension and balloon form are the most important physical process parameters to characterize the dynamic yarn path in ring spinning. The present research work focuses on the in situ measurement of yarn tension in different regions of the yarn path in a developed turbo ring spinning tester with a friction-free superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) twisting system and at an angular spindle speed of up to 50,000 rpm. The influence of different parameters, such as angular spindle speeds (15,000–50,000 rpm), yarn counts (15–40 tex) and balloon control ring (one or multiple), were evaluated to identify the influence of acting forces, for example, centrifugal forces. The effects of these process parameters were analyzed statistically using an analysis of variance. The yarn tension between the delivery rollers and the yarn guide was measured using a modified one-roller tensile yarn tension sensor. The yarn tension between the yarn guide and the SMB system was determined with an already existing optical approach at a higher angular spindle speed. As the highest yarn tension theoretically occurs between the SMB system and the cop, it was estimated in this region by measuring the coefficient of friction between the yarn and the yarn guide using the friction module of the constant tension tester equipment. The maximum balloon diameter was determined from the recorded balloon form between the yarn guide and the SMB system with respect to different angular spindle speeds. The results provide valuable information about the highest possible spinnable speed and enable a better understanding of the dynamic yarn path in the SMB spinning system. Keywords

Aktuelle Arbeitsinhalte des Teams Industrielle Bauteilreinigung am Fraunhofer IVV Dresden sind filmische Verunreinigungen, Reinigungsanalysen und -optimierung, Reinigungstechnik, Verschmutzungssensorik und die Prozesskettenanalyse. Neben der vorhandenen Sachkenntnis zur wässrigen Bauteilreinigung erweitert das Fraunhofer IVV Dresden Know-How zu alternativen Verfahren zur Funktionsflächenreinigung wie der CO2-Schneestrahl-, Atmosphärendruckplasma- und Trockendampfreinigung. Im Vortrag wird deshalb das SAB/EFRE-geförderte Projekt 'Lernfabrik' vorgestellt, bei dem ein innovatives Reinigungszentrum für Anwender entsteht. Neben einem Zugang zu breitem Forschungsdienstleistungs- und Technologieportfolio werden zukünftig Beratungen und Schulungen angeboten.

This paper examines how the initial austenite grain size in quench and partitioning (Q-P) processes influences the final mechanical properties of Q-P steels. Differences in austenite grain size distribution may result, for example, from uneven heating rates of semi-finished products prior to a forging process. In order to quantify this influence, a carefully defined heat treatment of a cylindrical specimen made of the Q-P-capable 42SiCr steel was performed in a dilatometer. Different austenite grain sizes were adjusted by a pre-treatment before the actual Q-P process. The resulting mechanical properties were determined using the upsetting test and the corresponding microstructures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These investigations show that a larger austenite grain size prior to Q-P processing leads to a slightly lower strength as well as to a coarser martensitic microstructure in the Q-P-treated material.

Growth of mould fungi on packaging material reduces the product quality. Eco-fungicidal substances ensure an environmentally friendly approach to prevent this problem during the service life of the product. The bark of poplar trees, as a by-product of short rotation plantations, can be a new source for obtaining bio-fungicidal substances. The types and amount of the eco-fungicidal substances in different poplar clones were investigated with GC/MS and extracted from the raw material with different methods and adapted solvent series. After applying the eco-fungicidal substances to packaging material exposed to a mixture of mould fungi, the resistance against mould growth was monitored for several weeks. The bark extracts have shown promising results in reducing the growth speed of the mould and testing of separate fungicidal substances in the bark showed that substances such as phenol, chatecol and salicylic alcohol can prevent the mould growth.:1 Introduction 2 Material and Methods 2.1 Poplar bark 2.2 Bark Extraction 2.3 Bark fibre production 2.4 Laboratory sheets 2.5 Mould fungi 3 Results and discussion 3.1 Fungicidal components in poplar bark 3.2 Evaluating the fungicidal properties 4 Outlook 5 Acknowledgement 6 Literature / Ein Wachstum von Schimmelpilzen auf Verpackungsmaterialien reduziert deren Produktqualität. Biofungizide Substanzen stellen eine umweltfreundliche Variante zur Vermeidung dieses Problems während der Nutzungsdauer des Produktes dar. Pappelrinde als Nebenprodukt von Kurzumtriebsplantagen ist neue Quelle für die Gewinnung fungizider Substanzen.
