Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Study of Chemical and Physical Changes During Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film Production(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2003) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Sipahioğlu, Muzaffer; Sipahioğlu, Muzaffer; Arkış, Esen; Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPolypropylene films obtained during the biaxial orientation process were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy. Inorganic particles with Al, Si, Na, Mg, Ti, K,O elements were present in biaxially oriented films. Polypropylene had molecules with both isotactic configuration and it was crystallized only in isotactic α phase. The films drawn in one and two directions had unit cells with b axis parallel to surface of the films. The antioxidants present in the films were consumed during processing, preventing polypropylene oxidation in air at high processing temperatures. One surface of the films contained less polypropylene and had functional groups rich in oxygen such as C=O and COO.Article Citation - WoS: 187Citation - Scopus: 208Synergistic Effect of Natural Zeolites on Flame Retardant Additives(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Demir, Hasan; Arkış, Esen; Ülkü, Semra; Ülkü, Semra; Demir, Hasan; Arkış, Esen; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe thermal degradation and flammability of intumescent fire-retardant polypropylene matrix composites consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as an acid source and blowing agent, pentaerythritol (PER) as a carbonisation agent and natural zeolite (clinoptilolite rich, Gördes II) as a synergistic agent were examined. APP and PER combinations were examined at different ratios (0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4) for optimisation of the formulation for flame retardancy. The zeolite was incorporated into flame retardant formulation at four different concentrations (1, 2, 5, and 10 wt%) to investigate the synergism between the flame retardant materials. The thermal degradation and flammability of composites were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and by limiting oxygen index (LOI) measurement and horizontal burning (HB) tests. A synergistic effect in flame retardancy was observed when natural zeolites were used in combination with APP and PER.
