Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 14Development of Electrically Conductive and Anisotropic Gel-Coat Systems Using Cnts(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Selamet, YusufElectrical conductivity of an unsaturated thermoset polyester based gel-coat system containing 0.05 wt.% of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. The CNTs used were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method by methane decomposition and Raman characterization showed that they were mostly single walled and high quality. To disperse CNTs in the gel-coat resin, 3-roll milling technique was used. It was found that as the CNTs are added to gel-coat system, resistivity value decreases significantly while neat gel-coat showed a high resistivity. By the application of an AC electrical field during curing process, it was attempted to align CNTs in the gel-coat resin and an electrically anisotropic polymer was obtained. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The effect of humidity on the specimens was examined using a scanning probe microscope (SPM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which showed that the degree of hydration was noticeably less in the intergranular bond phase compared to the periclase crystallites. The SPM study indicated significant growth of hydrates on the refractory grain surface. Growth rate of the hydrate layer was least on (0 0 1) orientation, higher for the (1 0 3) orientation, and highest for the (1 0 1) oriented grain. The rate of loss of refractory phases by hydration on a (1 0 1) oriented grain was 4.53 nm/h. This material loss may be insignificant for a bulk brick, but is a serious threat for a magnesia castable consisting of fine magnesia powder due to large surface area exposed to humidity or water itself. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

The samples were left in a hydration chamber with an 88% relative humidity for 18 h at room temperature. The effect of humidity on the samples was examined by scanning probe microscope (SPM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) which showed that the degree of hydration was noticeably influenced by the crystallographic orientation. It was found that the MgO with (1 1 1)-orientation has the highest tendency to hydrate than the other orientations. Second most affected sample was (1 1 0) crystal. Loss of MgO on the surface by hydration is most severe when the crystal is oriented in (1 1 1) plane with the maximum hydrate layer thickness of 174 nm after 18 h of exposure.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Thermostable Tensoresistors of Co Doped Gasb-Fega1.3 Eutectic Composites(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Rahimov, R. N.; Khalilova, A. A.; Arasly, D. H.; Aliyev, M. I.; Tanoğlu, Metin; Özyüzer, LütfiThe microstructure and tensoresistive properties of GaSb-FeGa1.3 eutectic composites doped with 0.1% Co have been investigated. It was found that the Co impurity atoms mainly accumulate in the metallic inclusions. The length of the inclusions in GaSb-FeGa1.3〈Co〉 was measured to be about half of those in undoped GaSb-FeGa1.3 eutectics. The tensometric characteristics of gauges based on GaSb-FeGa1.3〈Co〉 have been found to be more thermostable than undoped samples. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Mg and B films were prepared using DC magnetron sputtering and thermionic vacuum arc techniques, respectively. The MgB2 thin films showed superconducting critical transition at 33 K after annealing at 650 °C.
