These functionalized polymers could then go through modular synthetic pathways such as click cycloaddition (copper-catalyzed or copper-free) or amidation to couple synthetic polymers to other synthetic polymers, biomolecules or silica monoliths. Using this general strategy and designing these co/polymers so that they are thermoresponsive, yet bioinert and biocompatible with adjustable cloud point values (as it is the case in the present thesis), the whole generated system becomes "smart" and potentially applicable in different branches. The applications which were considered in the present thesis were in polymer post-functionalization (in situ functionalization of micellar aggregates with low and high molecular weight molecules), hydrophilic/hydrophobic tuning, chromatography and bioconjugation (enzyme thermoprecipitation and recovery, improvement of enzyme activity). Different α-functionalized co/polymers containing cholesterol moiety, aldehyde, t-Boc protected amine, TMS-protected alkyne and NHS-activated ester were designed and synthesized in this work.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Wohlgemuth2012, author = {Wohlgemuth, Stephanie-Angelika}, title = {Functional nanostructured hydrothermal carbons for sustainable technologies : heteroatom doping and superheated vapor}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-60120}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The underlying motivation for the work carried out for this thesis was the growing need for more sustainable technologies. The aim was to synthesize a "palette" of functional nanomaterials using the established technique of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). The incredible diversity of HTC was demonstrated together with small but steady advances in how HTC can be manipulated to tailor material properties for specific applications. Two main strategies were used to modify the materials obtained by HTC of glucose, a model precursor representing biomass. The first approach was the introduction of heteroatoms, or "doping" of the carbon framework. Sulfur was for the first time introduced as a dopant in hydrothermal carbon. The synthesis of sulfur and sulfur/nitrogen doped microspheres was presented whereby it was shown that the binding state of sulfur could be influenced by varying the type of sulfur source. Pyrolysis may additionally be used to tune the heteroatom binding states which move to more stable motifs with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Importantly, the presence of aromatic binding states in the as synthesized hydrothermal carbon allows for higher heteroatom retention levels after pyrolysis and hence more efficient use of dopant sources. In this regard, HTC may be considered as an "intermediate" step in the formation of conductive heteroatom doped carbon. To assess the novel hydrothermal carbons in terms of their potential for electrochemical applications, materials with defined nano-architectures and high surface areas were synthesized via templated, as well as template-free routes. Sulfur and/or nitrogen doped carbon hollow spheres (CHS) were synthesized using a polystyrene hard templating approach and doped carbon aerogels (CA) were synthesized using either the albumin directed or borax-mediated hydrothermal carbonization of glucose. Electrochemical testing showed that S/N dual doped CHS and aerogels derived via the albumin approach exhibited superior catalytic performance compared to solely nitrogen or sulfur doped counterparts in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) relevant to fuel cells. Using the borax mediated aerogel formation, nitrogen content and surface area could be tuned and a carbon aerogel was engineered to maximize electrochemical performance. The obtained sample exhibited drastically improved current densities compared to a platinum catalyst (but lower onset potential), as well as excellent long term stability. In the second approach HTC was carried out at elevated temperatures (550 °C) and pressure (50 bar), corresponding to the superheated vapor regime (htHTC). It was demonstrated that the carbon materials obtained via htHTC are distinct from those obtained via ltHTC and subsequent pyrolysis at 550 °C. No difference in htHTC-derived material properties could be observed between pentoses and hexoses. The material obtained from a polysaccharide exhibited a slightly lower degree of carbonization but was otherwise similar to the monosaccharide derived samples. It was shown that in addition to thermally induced carbonization at 550 °C, the SHV environment exhibits a catalytic effect on the carbonization process. The resulting materials are chemically inert (i.e. they contain a negligible amount of reactive functional groups) and possess low surface area and electronic conductivity which distinguishes them from carbon obtained from pyrolysis. Compared to the materials presented in the previous chapters on chemical modifications of hydrothermal carbon, this makes them ill-suited candidates for electronic applications like lithium ion batteries or electrocatalysts. However, htHTC derived materials could be interesting for applications that require chemical inertness but do not require specific electronic properties. The final section of this thesis therefore revisited the latex hard templating approach to synthesize carbon hollow spheres using htHTC. However, by using htHTC it was possible to carry out template removal in situ because the second heating step at 550 °C was above the polystyrene latex decomposition temperature. Preliminary tests showed that the CHS could be dispersed in an aqueous polystyrene latex without monomer penetrating into the hollow sphere voids. This leaves the stagnant air inside the CHS intact which in turn is promising for their application in heat and sound insulating coatings. Overall the work carried out in this thesis represents a noteworthy development in demonstrating the great potential of sustainable carbon materials.}, language = {en} } @article{Peters2012, author = {Peters, Friedrich Ernst}, title = {Jochen Pahl un de Subrekter}, series = {Digitale Edition : Friedrich Ernst Peters}, journal = {Digitale Edition : Friedrich Ernst Peters}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59637}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Humorvolle kleine Geschichte um einen naiven Bauern, der sich in der Stadt ein bisschen wichtig machen, „dick doon" will und den sein Plattdeutsch dazu verleitet, den Begriff „Subrektor" falsch zu verstehen.}, language = {de} } @article{Peters2012, author = {Peters, Friedrich Ernst}, title = {Redensarten schlagen die Augen auf}, series = {Digitale Edition: Friedrich Ernst Peters}, journal = {Digitale Edition: Friedrich Ernst Peters}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59626}, year = {2012}, abstract = {In diesem durch Erlebnisse aus der Zeit seiner Kriegsgefangenschaft in Frankreich (1914-1920) inspirierten Text erl{\"a}utert Peters die urspr{\"u}ngliche Bedeutung der plattdeutschen Redensart „to Stock doon" und der hochdeutschen Redensart „etwas auf dem Kerbholz haben".}, language = {de} } @article{Peters2012, author = {Peters, Friedrich Ernst}, title = {"O du fr{\"o}hliche ..."}, series = {Digitale Edition: Friedrich Ernst Peters}, journal = {Digitale Edition: Friedrich Ernst Peters}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59605}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Der Begriff „Kindjees" (Kind Jesus) bezeichnete lange Zeit in l{\"a}ndlichen Gegenden Norddeutschlands den Weihnachtsmann.

In order to obtain materials with defined properties, the chemoselective copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (or Click Chemistry) was used for the synthesis of gelatin-based hydrogels. Alkyne-functionalized gelatin was reacted with four different diazide crosslinkers above its sol-gel transition to suppress the formation of triple helices. By variation of the crosslinking density and the crosslinker flexibility, the swelling (Q: 150-470 vol.-\%;) and the Young's and shear moduli (E: 50 kPa - 635 kPa, G': 0.1 kPa - 16 kPa) could be tuned in the kPa range. In order to understand the network structure, a method based on the labelling of free functional groups within the hydrogel was developed. Gelatin-based hydrogels were incubated with alkyne-functionalized fluorescein to detect the free azide groups, resulting from the formation of dangling chains. Gelatin hydrogels were also incubated with azido-functionalized fluorescein to check the presence of alkyne groups available for the attachment of bioactive molecules. By using confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy, the amount of crosslinking, grafting and free alkyne groups could be determined. Dangling chains were observed in samples prepared by using an excess of crosslinker and also when using equimolar amounts of alkyne:azide. In the latter case the amount of dangling chains was affected by the crosslinker structure. Specifically, 0.1\% of dangling chains were found using 4,4'-diazido-2,2'-stilbene-disulfonic acid as cosslinker, 0.06\% with 1,8-diazidooctane, 0.05\% with 1,12-diazidododecane and 0.022 \% with PEG-diazide. This observation could be explained considering the structure of the crosslinkers. During network formation, the movements of the gelatin chains are restricted due to the formation of covalent netpoints. A further crosslinking will be possible only in the case of crosslinker that are flexible and long enough to reach another chain. The method used to obtain defined gelatin-based hydrogels enabled also the synthesis of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels with tailorable properties. Alkyne-functionalized hyaluronic acid was crosslinked with three different linkers having two terminal azide functionalities. By variation of the crosslinking density and crosslinker type, hydrogels with elastic moduli in the range of 0.5-3 kPa have been prepared. The variation of the crosslinking density and crosslinker type had furthermore an influence also on the hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation of gelatin-based hydrogels. Hydrogels with a low crosslinker amount experienced a faster decrease in mass loss and elastic modulus compared to hydrogels with higher crosslinker content. Moreover, the structure of the crosslinker had a strong influence on the enzymatic degradation. Hydrogels containing a crosslinker with a rigid structure were much more resistant to enzymatic degradation than hydrogels containing a flexible crosslinker. During hydrolytic degradation, the hydrogel became softer while maintaining the same outer dimensions. These observations are in agreement with a bulk degradation mechanism, while the decrease in size of the hydrogels during enzymatic degradation suggested a surface erosion mechanism. Because of the use of small amount of crosslinker (0.002 mol.\% 0.02 mol.\%) the networks synthesized can still be defined as biopolymer-based hydrogels. However, they contain a small percentage of synthetic residues. Alternatively, a possible method to obtain biopolymer-based telechelics, which could be used as crosslinkers, was investigated. Gelatin-based fragments with defined molecular weight were obtained by controlled degradation of gelatin with hydroxylamine, due to its specific action on asparaginyl-glycine bonds. The reaction of gelatin with hydroxylamine resulted in fragments with molecular weights of 15, 25, 37, and 50 kDa (determined by SDS-PAGE) independently of the reaction time and conditions. Each of these fragments could be potentially used for the synthesis of hydrogels in which all components are biopolymer-based materials.}, language = {en} } @misc{OPUS4-5782, title = {Ern{\"a}hrung garantiert?}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59905}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Alle Menschen haben elementare Gemeinsamkeiten: Um zu {\"u}berleben, m{\"u}ssen sie atmen, trinken - und essen.
