Conference Object Molecular Dynamics Study of the Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Coated Copper(Avestia Publishing, 2019) Toprak, Kasım; Ersavaş, GizemIn this study, the thermal conductivity of various size of pure copper, pure graphene and, different number of layer graphene coated copper models are studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Our findings show that the thermal conductivity of graphene coated copper is higher than the uncoated ones. Furthermore, results also indicate that single layer graphene (SLG) model has the highest thermal conductivity as compared to the other model. Even though multiple layer graphene (MLG) has lower thermal conductivity value compare to SLG, this study shows that the thermal conductivity of MLG coated copper has higher thermal conductivity than SLG coated one. The most important finding in this study suggests that the thermal conductivity of copper can be improved using high thermal conductivity materials like graphene. © 2019, Avestia Publishing.Article Citation - WoS: 76Citation - Scopus: 79Near-Surface Viscosity Effects on Capillary Rise of Water in Nanotubes(American Physical Society, 2015) Vo, Truong Quoc; Barışık, Murat; Kim, BoHungIn this paper, we present an approach for predicting nanoscale capillary imbibitions using the Lucas-Washburn (LW) theory. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the effects of surface forces on the viscosity of liquid water. This provides an update to the modified LW equation that considered only a nanoscale slip length. An initial water nanodroplet study was performed to properly elucidate the wetting behavior of copper and gold surfaces. Intermolecular interaction strengths between water and corresponding solid surfaces were determined by matching the contact angle values obtained by experimental measurements. The migration of liquid water into copper and gold capillaries was measured by MD simulations and was found to differ from the modified LW equation. We found that the liquid layering in the vicinity of the solid surface induces a higher density and viscosity, leading to a slower MD uptake of fluid into the capillaries than was theoretically predicted. The near-surface viscosity for the nanoscale-confined water was defined and calculated for the thin film of water that was sheared between the two solid surfaces, as the ratio of water shear stress to the applied shear rate. Considering the effects of both the interface viscosity and slip length of the fluid, we successfully predicted the MD-measured fluid rise in the nanotubes.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Functional Characterization of New Mutations in Wilson Disease Gene (atp7b) Using the Yeast Model(Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH und Co. KG, 2015) Şimşek Papur, Özlenen; Terzioğlu, Orhan; Koç, AhmetThe Wilson disease gene, a copper transporting ATPase (Atp7b), is responsible for the sequestration of Cu into secretory vesicles, and this function is exhibited by the orthologous Ccc2p in the yeast. In this study, we aimed to characterize clinically relevant new mutations of human ATP7B (p.T788I, p.V1036I and p.R1038G-fsX83) in yeast lacking the CCC2 gene. Expression of human wild type ATP7B gene in ccc2δ mutant yeast restored the growth deficiency and copper transport activity; however, expression of the mutant forms did not restore the copper transport functions and only partially supported the cell growth. Our data support that p.T788I, p.V1036I and p.R1038G-fsX83 mutations cause functional deficiency in ATP7B functions and suggest that these residues are important for normal ATP7B function.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 41Batch and Column Studies on Heavy Metal Removal Using a Local Zeolitic Tuff(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra; Can, ÖzgeIon exchange is considered to be one of the most cost effective methods if low cost ion exchangers such as natural zeolites are used in waste water treatment. In this study, a zeolitic tuff rich in clinoptilolite from Gördes Manisa Turkey was examined to evaluate its ion exchange performance for the removal of copper, nickel and cobalt ions from metal (II) nitrate solutions at various concentrations by performing both batch and packed column experiments. A clinoptilolite tuff with purity around 60% was used in ion exchange experiments. Copper, nickel and cobalt exchange capacities of the tuff were determined as 8.3mg (0.26meq) Cu2+/g, 6.6mg (0.23meq) Ni2+/g and 4.5mg (0.15meq) Co2+/g, respectively. The equilibrium behavior of the system was best described by classical Langmuir model. The experimental breakthrough curves from the column experiments were fitted to solid diffusion control model. The study showed that efficient metal ion removal can be done by using the local clinoptilolite rich tuff. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 249Citation - Scopus: 268Silver, Zinc, and Copper Exchange in a Na-Clinoptilolite and Resulting Effect on Antibacterial Activity(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Top, Ayben; Ülkü, SemraAg+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ equilibria for clinoptilolite-rich mineral from Gördes (Western Anatolia) were investigated at 25 °C and 0.1 N total solution normality. While silver exchange was favorable over the whole concentration range, zinc and copper were partially exchanged and preferred only at low concentrations. The standard free energies of exchanges for Ag+-Na+, Zn2+-Na+, and Cu2+-Na+ pairs were found as -6.0, 2.03, and 3.09 kJ/equiv., respectively. From these values, selectivity sequence was determined as Ag+>Na+ >Zn2+>Cu2+. Antibacterial activities of the exchanged samples were measured as a function of exchange level against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Considering the selectivity sequence of the clinoptilolite and antibacterial activity results, Ag-clinoptilolite seemed to be promising antibacterial material.
