Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1A Recycling Route of Plastics Via Electrospinning: From Daily Wastes To Functional Fibers(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019) Isık, Tuğba; Horzum,N.; Demir, Mustafa MuammerSince large-scale plastic production has begun in the 1940s, plastics have been produced and used globally, bringing many advantages to modern life. The consumption of plastics has increased exponentially due to their low cost, chemical resistance, lightness, durability and ability to combine with other materials. However, plastic materials represent high tonnage in urban wastes, and it is known that these plastics discarded at the end of their useful life by filling the landfill sites. Electrospinning is a well-established and versatile technique for the fabrication of submicron fibers. In addition, it is a promising approach for the recycling of waste polymers without using complex methodologies. In this chapter, utilization of electrospinning approach for the recycling of daily wastes will be discussed. The literature about the daily wastes of both synthetic materials and natural/agricultural materials will be analyzed, and the applications of these materials will be given in detail. © 2019 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.

Various types of organic pigments have been employed for this purpose such as BODIPY, perylene diimide, Rhodamine B, pyrene, Nile red, etc. Among those, BODIPY-based organic dyes appear to be promising candidate for white light generation. In this work, for the first time, red and green emitting BODIPY-based organic molecules have been used as colour conversion layer. These molecules were associated with PMMA in DMF solution and the resulting solution was subjected to electrospinning. Colorful electrospun mats were embedded into PDMS matrix and their free-standing PDMS composite films were used as color conversion layers over blue LED to produce white light such that CRI of 95 and CCT of 4200 K was achieved. These values show that BODIPY-based organic molecules containing fiber composites are promising candidates to be used as color conversion layers for white light applications.Article Citation - WoS: 63Citation - Scopus: 65Amidoxime Functionalized Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (pim-1) Electrospun Ultrafine Fibers for Rapid Removal of Uranyl Ions From Water(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Satılmış, Bekir; Isık, Tuğba; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Uyar, TamerThe Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity (PIM-1) is considered as one of the most promising polymer candidates for adsorption applications owing to its high surface area and the ability to tailor the functionality for the targeted species. This study reports a facile method for the preparation of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 fibrous membrane (AF-PIM-FM) by electrospinning technique and its practical use for the extraction of U(VI) ions from aqueous systems via column sorption under continuous flow. Fibrous membrane form of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 (AF-PIM-FM) was prepared by electrospinning method owing to its excellent processability in dimethylformamide. Bead-free and uniform fibers were obtained as confirmed by SEM imaging and average fiber diameter was 1.69 +/- 0.34 mu m for AF-PIM-FM. In addition, electrospun PIM-1 fibrous membrane (PIM-FM) was prepared as a control group. Structural and thermal characterization of powder and membrane forms of the materials were performed using FT-IR, H-1 NMR, XPS, Elemental analyses, TGA, and DSC. The porosity of the samples was measured by N-2 sorption isotherms confirming amidoxime PIM-1 still maintain their porosity after functionalization. Amidoxime functionality along with membrane structure makes AF-PIM-FM a promising material for uranyl adsorption. First, a comparison between powder and membrane form of amidoxime functionalized PIM-1 was investigated using batch adsorption process. Although membrane form has shown slightly lower adsorption performance in the batch adsorption process, the advantage of using the membrane in column adsorption processes makes membrane form more feasible for real applications. In addition, amidoxime modification enhanced the uranium adsorption ability of PIM-FM up to 20 times. The effect of initial concentration and pH were investigated along with regeneration of the adsorbents. AF-PIM-FM was successfully used for five adsorption-desorption cycles without having any damage on the fibrous structure.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 14Optimization and Performance of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots as a Color Conversion Layer for White-Led Applications(Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2019) Güner, Tuğrul; Yüce, Hürriyet; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Şimşek, Eren; Savacı, Umut; Genç, Aziz; Demir, Mustafa MuammerIn this study, green-emitting nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDots) were synthesized and incorporated into drop-cast composite films for use as color conversion layers in a white-LED configuration to generate white light. In order to resolve the red deficiency of this configuration, a commercial red phosphor was integrated into the system. Moreover, the N-CDots were also processed into polymer/N-CDot composite fibers, for which we determined the amount of N-CDots that yielded adequate white-light properties. Finally, we showed that white light with excellent properties could be generated by employing both of the fabricated N-CDot composites either as drop-cast films or composite fibers. Hence, N-CDots provide a promising alternative to inorganic phosphors that are commonly employed in white-LED configurations.Other Macromol. Mater.

In this study, highly selective molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized in submicron-sizes and converted to an SPME fiber coating through electrospinning process in order to determine parabens in water samples. Conversion of MIP to a fiber is achieved via creation of spacial knitting around MIP by polystyrene. The selectivity and extraction ability of the fibers were compared with the commercial fibers and the corresponding non-imprinted polymer (NIP) coated fiber. The coated fiber showed better extraction ability among them. Also, the results revealed that the fiber has better selectivity for benzyl paraben and the other structurally-related compounds, such as methyl and propyl paraben. Extraction efficiency of prepared fibers for three parabens has been tested by spiking bottled, tap and sea water samples. The recoveries changed between 92.2 ± 0.8 and 99.8 ± 0.1 for three different water types. This method could be used for selective and sensitive determination of parabens in aqueous samples.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 39Polarized Emission From Cspbbr3 Nanowire Embedded-Electrospun Pu Fibers(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018) Güner, Tuğrul; Topçu, Gökhan; Savacı, Umut; Genç, Aziz; Sarı, Emre; Demir, Mustafa MuammerInterest in all-inorganic halide perovskites has been increasing dramatically due to their high quantum yield, band gap tunability, and ease of fabrication in compositional and geometric diversity. In this study, we synthesized several hundreds of nanometer long and ∼4 nm thick CsPbBr3 nanowires (NWs). They were then integrated into electrospun polyurethane (PU) fibers to examine the polarization behavior of the composite fiber assembly. Aligned electrospun fibers containing CsPbBr3 NWs showed a remarkable increase in the degree of polarization from 0.17-0.30. This combination of NWs and PU fibers provides a promising composite material for various applications such as optoelectronic devices and solar cells.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Investigation of Lithium Sorption Efficiency Using Swcnt Functionalized Electrospun Fiber Mats From the Hypersaline Geothermal Brine(Trans Tech Publications, 2018) Çelik, Aslı; Topçu, Gökhan; Isık, Tuğba; Baba, Alper; Horzum, Nesrin; Demir, Mustafa MuammerGeothermal mining from brines becomes increasingly important with the increasing demand for rare earth elements in various engineering applications. Geothermal fluids contain valuable minerals and metals such as silica, zinc, lithium, and other materials that can be processed to recover these products. Solution mining by nature is challenging because of variable composition as well as the concentration of the interfering ions, particularly calcium and magnesium, and the presence of interfering ions increases the recovery costs requiring additional steps. The aim of this study is the fabrication of single-walled carbon nanotube functionalized electrospun chitosan, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber mats. Effect of polymer type, dilution factor, and surface modification on the sorption of lithium (Li+) ions was investigated. The maximum sorption performance was obtained with SWCNT functionalized PAN (15 wt%) fiber mats and they have sorption percentage as 55% at diluted (1/100) brine samples.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 29Hydrophobic Coatings From Photochemically Prepared Hydrophilic Polymethacrylates Via Electrospraying(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Işık, Tuğba; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Aydoğan, Cansu; Çiftçi, Mustafa; Yağcı, YusufLinear poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(HEMA-co-MMA) and poly(dimehylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(DMAEMA-co-MMA) and their corresponding hyperbranched copolymers were synthesized by conventional photoinitiated free radical polymerization and self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) using Type I and Type II photoinitiators, respectively. Then, the polymers were processed by electrospraying in N, N-dimethylformamide. The surface of the resulting electrospray coatings was examined by SEM, XPS, and WCA then compared with those prepared by drop casting. Regardless of the structural nature of the polymers, electrospraying allows the preparation of rough surface that shows more hydrophobic behavior. Electrospray coatings with linear and hyperbranched copolymers exhibited WCA as ∼150° and ∼130°, respectively, indicating that branching reduces the WCA.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Use of Electrospun Fiber Mats for the Remediation of Hypersaline Geothermal Brine(Desalination Publications, 2017) Çelik, Aslı; Koç, Gonca; Erdoğan, Emre; Shahwan, Talal; Baba, Alper; Demir, Mustafa MuammerGeothermal brines display high contents of various metal ions that can adversely affect surface and groundwater resources. Nevertheless, it is possible to sequestrate these metals and use some of them in certain engineering applications. The aim of this study was to fabricate electrospun chitosan fiber mats and remove heavy metal cations from geothermal brine of the Tuzla geothermal field (TGF) by employing these mats. TGF is located on the Biga Peninsula in the northwestern part of Turkey. The brine of TGF has high salinity (EC > 91 mS/cm) and high temperature (reservoir temperature is 173°C). The brine is rich in terms of metal cations. For instance, the concentration of lithium ion in geothermal fluid ranges from 17 to 35 mg/L, with little seasonal variations. A horizontal electrospinning setup was employed to obtain a non-woven mat comprising submicron diameter chitosan fibers at 2.0 kV∙cm−1. This material was then utilized as a stable membrane for the removal of metal ions present in the brine through sorption at 25°C overnight. The results showed that the chitosan fiber mats sequestrate various ions in the brine. Under the studied conditions, the material was capable of removing 46%, 44%, 50%, 44%, 40%, 67% and 48% of Li+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Sr2+, Mn2+, Ca2+ and K+ from the geothermal brine, respectively.
