The kink is pronounced for certain thicknesses of the Au quantum well and vanishes in the very thin limit. We identify the kink as induced by the coupling between the Au(111) surface state and emergent quantum-well states which probe directly the buried gold-tungsten interface. The signatures of the coupling are further revealed by our time-resolved measurements which show that surface state and quantum-well states thermalize together behaving as dynamically locked electron populations. In particular, relaxation of hot carriers following laser excitation is similar for both surface state and quantum-well states and much slower than expected for a bulk metallic system. The influence of quantum confinement on the interplay between elementary scattering processes of the electrons at the surface and ultrafast carrier transport in the direction perpendicular to the surface is shown to be the reason for the slow electron dynamics.}, language = {en} } @misc{MachatschekSchoeneRaschdorfetal.2019, author = {Machatschek, Rainhard Gabriel and Sch{\"o}ne, Anne-Christin and Raschdorf, Elisa and Ihlenburg, Ramona and Schulz, Burkhard and Lendlein, Andreas}, title = {Interfacial properties of morpholine-2,5-dione-based oligodepsipeptides and multiblock copolymers}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {1106}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-46975}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-469755}, pages = {170 -- 180}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Oligodepsipeptides (ODPs) with alternating amide and ester bonds prepared by ring-opening polymerization of morpholine-2,5-dione derivatives are promising matrices for drug delivery systems and building blocks for multifunctional biomaterials.

The interplay of these parameters thus largely controls device performance. In order to obtain a quantitative understanding on how these factors control the resulting electronic properties of P3HT, we measured absorption in solution and in thin films as well as the resulting field effect mobility in transistors. By a detailed analysis of the absorption spectra, we deduce the fraction of aggregates formed, the excitonic coupling within the aggregates, and the conjugation length within the aggregates, all as a function of solvent quality for molecular weights from 5 to 19 kDa. From this, we infer in which structure the aggregated chains pack. Although the 5 kDa samples form straight chains, the 11 and 19 kDa chains are kinked or folded, with conjugation lengths that increase as the solvent quality reduces. There is a maximum fraction of aggregated chains (about 55 +/- 5\%) that can be obtained, even for poor solvent quality. We show that inducing aggregation in solution leads to control of aggregate properties in thin films. As expected, the field-effect mobility correlates with the propensity to aggregation. Correspondingly, we find that a well-defined synthetic approach, tailored to give a narrow molecular weight distribution, is needed to obtain high field effect mobilities of up to 0.01 cm2/Vs for low molecular weight samples (=11 kDa), while the influence of synthetic method is negligible for samples of higher molecular weight, if low molecular weight fractions are removed by extraction.}, language = {en} } @misc{FeldmannMaduarSanteretal.2016, author = {Feldmann, David and Maduar, Salim R. and Santer, Mark and Lomadze, Nino and Vinogradova, Olga I. and Santer, Svetlana}, title = {Manipulation of small particles at solid liquid interface}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-100338}, pages = {10}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The strong adhesion of sub-micron sized particles to surfaces is a nuisance, both for removing contaminating colloids from surfaces and for conscious manipulation of particles to create and test novel micro/nano-scale assemblies.

Trotz großer Produktionskapazit{\"a}ten und einem geeigneten Eigenschaftsprofil findet St{\"a}rke nur als hydrophile, mit Weichmachern verarbeitete thermoplastische St{\"a}rke (TPS) in Form von Blends mit z. B. Polyestern Anwendung. Gleiches gilt f{\"u}r Kunststoffe auf Proteinbasis. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Entwicklung von Biokunststoffen auf St{\"a}rkebasis zum Ziel, welche ohne externe Weichmacher thermoplastisch verarbeitbar und hydrophob sind sowie ein mechanisches Eigenschaftsprofil aufweisen, welches ein Potenzial zur Herstellung von Materialien f{\"u}r eine Anwendung als Verpackungsmittel bietet. Um die Rohstoffbasis f{\"u}r Biokunststoffe zu erweitern, soll das erarbeitete Konzept auf zwei industriell verf{\"u}gbare Proteintypen, Zein und Molkenproteinisolat (WPI), {\"u}bertragen werden. Als geeignete Materialklasse wurden Fetts{\"a}ureester der St{\"a}rke herausgearbeitet. Zun{\"a}chst fand ein Vergleich der S{\"a}urechlorid-Veresterung und der Umesterung von Fetts{\"a}urevinylestern statt, woraus letztere als geeignetere Methode hervorging. Durch Variation der Reaktionsparameter konnte diese optimiert und auf eine Serie der Fetts{\"a}urevinylester von Butanoat bis Stearat f{\"u}r DS-Werte bis zu 2,2-2,6 angewandt werden. M{\"o}glich war somit eine systematische Studie unter Variation der veresterten Fetts{\"a}ure sowie des Substitutionsgrades (DS). S{\"a}mtliche Produkte mit einem DS ab 1,5 wiesen eine ausgpr{\"a}gte L{\"o}slichkeit in organischen L{\"o}sungsmitteln auf wodurch sowohl die Aufnahme von NMR-Spektren als auch Molmassenbestimmung mittels Gr{\"o}ßenausschlusschromatographie mit gekoppelter Mehrwinkel-Laserlichtstreuung (GPC-MALLS) m{\"o}glich waren. Durch dynamische Lichtstreuung (DLS) wurde das L{\"o}slichkeitsverhalten veranschaulicht. S{\"a}mtliche Produkte konnten zu Filmen verarbeitet werden, wobei Materialien mit DS 1,5-1,7 hohe Zugfestigkeiten (bis zu 42 MPa) und Elastizit{\"a}tsmodule (bis 1390 MPa) aufwiesen. Insbesondere St{\"a}rkehexanoat mit DS <2 sowie St{\"a}rkebutanoat mit DS >2 hatten ein mechanisches Eigenschaftsprofil, welches insbesondere in Bezug auf die Festigkeit/Steifigkeit vergleichbar mit Verpackungsmaterialien wie Polyethylen war (Zugfestigkeit: 15-32 MPa, E-Modul: 300-1300 MPa). Zugfestigkeit und Elastizit{\"a}tsmodul nahmen mit steigender Kettenl{\"a}nge der veresterten Fetts{\"a}ure ab. Ester l{\"a}ngerkettiger Fetts{\"a}uren (C16-C18) waren spr{\"o}de. {\"U}ber Weitwinkel-R{\"o}ntgenstreuung (WAXS) und Infrarotspektroskopie (ATR-FTIR) konnte der Verlauf der Festigkeiten mit einer zunehmenden Distanz der St{\"a}rke im Material begr{\"u}ndet werden. Es konnten von DS und Kettenl{\"a}nge abh{\"a}ngige Glas{\"u}berg{\"a}nge detektiert werden, die kristallinen Strukturen der langkettigen Fetts{\"a}uren zeigten einen Schmelzpeak. Die Hydrophobie der Filme wurde anhand von Kontaktwinkeln >95° gegen Wasser dargestellt. Blends mit biobasierten Polyterpenen sowie den in der Arbeit hergestellten Zein-Acylderivaten erm{\"o}glichten eine weitere Verbesserung der Zugfestigkeit bzw. des Elastizit{\"a}tsmoduls hochsubstituierter Produkte. Eine thermoplastische Verarbeitung mittels Spritzgießen war sowohl f{\"u}r Produkte mit hohem als auch mittlerem DS-Wert ohne jeglichen Zusatz von Weichmachern m{\"o}glich. Es entstanden homogene, transparente Pr{\"u}fst{\"a}be. Untersuchungen der H{\"a}rte ergaben auch hier f{\"u}r St{\"a}rkehexanoat und -butanoat mit Polyethylen vergleichbare Werte. Ausgew{\"a}hlte Produkte wurden zu Fasern nach dem Schmelzspinnverfahren verarbeitet. Hierbei wurden insbesondere f{\"u}r hochsubstituierte Derivate homogenen Fasern erstellt, welche im Vergleich zur Gießfolie signifikant h{\"o}here Zugfestigkeiten aufwiesen. St{\"a}rkeester mit mittlerem DS ließen sich ebenfalls verarbeiten. Zun{\"a}chst wurden f{\"u}r eine {\"U}bertragung des Konzeptes auf die Proteine Zein und WPI verschiedene Synthesemethoden verglichen. Die Veresterung mit S{\"a}urechloriden ergab hierbei die h{\"o}chsten Werte. Im Hinblick auf eine gute L{\"o}slichkeit in organischen L{\"o}sungsmitteln wurde f{\"u}r WPI die Veresterung mit carbonyldiimidazol (CDI)-aktivierten Fetts{\"a}uren in DMSO und f{\"u}r Zein die Veresterung mit S{\"a}u-rechloriden in Pyridin bevorzugt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass acyliertes WPI zwar hydrophob, jedoch ohne Weichmacher nicht thermoplastisch verarbeitet werden konnte. Die Erstellung von Gießfolien f{\"u}hrte zu Spr{\"o}dbruchverhalten. Unter Zugabe der biobasierten {\"O}ls{\"a}ure wurde die Anwendung von acyliertem WPI als thermoplastischer Filler z. B. in Blends mit St{\"a}rkeestern dargestellt. Im Gegensatz hierzu zeigte acyliertes Zein Glas{\"u}berg{\"a}nge <100 °C bei ausreichender Stabilit{\"a}t (150-200 °C). Zeinoleat konnte ohne Weichmacher zu einer transparenten Gießfolie verarbeitet werden. S{\"a}mtliche Derivate erwiesen sich als ausgepr{\"a}gt hydrophob.
