Today, the sterilization of food packages is predominantly accomplished by gaseous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in combination with heat. In order to monitor this sterilization process, calorimetric gas sensors as differential set-up of two platinum temperature sensors representing a catalytically active (additionally deposition of MnO2) and a passive segment have been recently developed. The temperature rise of the exothermic decomposition serves as an indicator of the present H2O2 concentration. In the present work, a theoretical approach considering the sensor's thermochemistry and physical transport phenomena was formulated to evaluate the temperature rise based on the energy content of gaseous H2O2. In a further part of this work, three polymers have been analyzed with respect to their application as passivation materials. The examined polymers are photoresist SU-8, perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). Thermal analyses by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been conducted to determine the operation limits of the polymers. The overall chemical resistance and stability of the polymers against the harsh environmental conditions during the sterilization process have been examined by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).}, language = {en} } @article{MiyamatoSakakitaWagneretal.2015, author = {Miyamato, Ko-ichiro and Sakakita, Sakura and Wagner, Torsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Application of chemical imaging sensor to in-situ pH imaging in the vicinity of a corroding metal surface}, series = {Electrochimica Acta}, volume = {183}, journal = {Electrochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0013-4686}, doi = {10.1016/j.electacta.2015.07.184}, pages = {137 -- 142}, year = {2015}, abstract = {The chemical imaging sensor was applied to in-situ pH imaging of the solution in the vicinity of a corroding surface of stainless steel under potentiostatic polarization.

The pH images obtained during polarization showed correspondence between the region of lower pH and the site of corrosion.

In the present work, polymer-modified electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (PMEIS) sensors have been applied for monitoring an enzymatically catalyzed degradation of polymers for the first time. The thin films of biodegradable polymer poly(d,l-lactic acid) and enzyme lipase were used as a model system. During degradation, the sensors were read-out by means of impedance spectroscopy. In order to interpret the data obtained from impedance measurements, an electrical equivalent circuit model was developed. In addition, morphological investigations of the polymer surface have been performed by means of in situ atomic force microscopy. The sensor signal change, which reflects the progress of degradation, indicates an accelerated degradation in the presence of the enzyme compared to hydrolysis in neutral pH buffer media. The degradation rate increases with increasing enzyme concentration. The obtained results demonstrate the potential of PMEIS sensors as a very promising tool for in situ and real-time monitoring of degradation of polymers.}, language = {en} } @article{DiktaKuehlheimMendoncaetal.2015, author = {Dikta, Gerhard and K{\"u}hlheim, Ren{\´e} and Mendonca, Jorge and Una-Alcarez, Jacobo de}, title = {Asymptotic representation of presmoothed Kaplan-Meier integrals with covariates in a semiparametric censorship model}, series = {Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference}, volume = {Vol. 171}, journal = {Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0378-3758}, doi = {10.1016/j.jspi.2015.12.001}, pages = {10 -- 37}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{DuongNguyenStaat2015, author = {Duong, Minh Tuan and Nguyen, Nhu Huynh and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Physical response of hyperelastic models for composite materials and soft tissues}, series = {Asia pacific journal on computational engineering}, volume = {2}, journal = {Asia pacific journal on computational engineering}, number = {3 (December 2015)}, issn = {2196-1166}, doi = {10.1186/s40540-015-0015-x}, pages = {1 -- 18}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{OberlaenderJildehKirchneretal.2015, author = {Oberl{\"a}nder, Jan and Jildeh, Zaid B. and Kirchner, Patrick and Wendeler, Luisa and Bromm, Alexander and Iken, Heiko and Wagner, Patrick and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Study of Interdigitated Electrode Arrays Using Experiments and Finite Element Models for the Evaluation of Sterilization Processes}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {15}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {10}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1424-8220}, doi = {10.3390/s151026115}, pages = {26115 -- 26127}, year = {2015}, abstract = {In this work, a sensor to evaluate sterilization processes with hydrogen peroxide vapor has been characterized.
