Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 31Fluoroacrylate-Aromatic Acrylate Copolymers for Viscosity Enhancement of Carbon Dioxide(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Kılıç, Sevgi; Enick, Robert M.; Beckman, Eric J.The effect of the structure of aromatic acrylate-fluoroacrylate copolymers on CO2 viscosity at elevated pressures was investigated. These copolymers were all found to be miscible with CO2 at pressures between 10-15 MPa (295 K) and induce an increase in the viscosity to some degree. It appears that stacking of aromatic rings is the key factor in viscosity enhancement. The results showed that viscosity of the solution increases with the increasing content of the aromatic acrylate unit in the copolymer, but a point is reached beyond which additional comonomer causes the relative viscosity to drop, suggesting that the aromatic rings associate through intramolecular rather than intermolecular interactions beyond the optimum value. The most effective CO2 thickener identified in this study was the 29% phenyl acrylate-71% fluoroacrylate copolymer. However, the presence of a spacer (methyl or ethyl) between the backbone and the aromatic group substantially diminished the viscosity enhancement.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Quantification of Peg40st Squeeze Out From Dspc/Peg40st Monolayers at Higher Molar Ratios(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Kılıç, SevgiMixtures of 1,2 Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) and polyoxyethylene-40-stearate (PEG40St) were prepared at different molar ratios and their miscibility were investigated using Langmuir isotherms. Pure DSPC monolayer exhibited a liquid-condensed (LC) phase whereas PEG40St monolayer exhibited liquid-expanded (LE) phase at the air-water interface at 22 ± 2 °C. At the collapse pressure of 33 mN/m, the PEG40St mean molecular area was calculated to be 28 Å2/molecule for 9:1 composition and 50 Å2/molecule for 5:5 composition, showing an increasing trend with the emulsifier content. A quantification method was developed to estimate the squeeze out amount of PEG40St from Langmuir isotherms of the DSPC/PEG40St mixtures at different molar ratios. Almost 93%, 82%, and 53% of PEG40St displaced for the 9:1, 7:3, and 5:5 mixtures, respectively, at the end of the first collapse plateau and showed a decreasing trend with the PEG40St content. Remaining PEG40St squeezed out at the end of the second collapse plateau, where 20% of PEG40St still contained within the 5:5 composition. It was concluded that increasing PEG40St content would be advantageous to design more stable lipid based microbubbles.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31Nano-Caco3 Synthesis by Jet Flow(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremA new methodology was introduced to produce hollow nano calcite particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. The design consisted of a jet flow system in which the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The newly produced nano CaCO3 particles of about 140 nm were removed from the crystallization region as quickly as possible into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. In the stages of crystallization, the particles started to dissolve from their edges which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores closed. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. Different particles with different morphologies can be produced by adjusting the stages in the crystallization.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rice-Like Hollow Nano-Caco3 Synthesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremWe have shown that Ca(OH)2 solution is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3 particles. We designed a CO2 bubbling crystallization reactor to produce nano-CaCO3 particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. In the experimental set-up, the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The produced nanoparticles were removed from the crystallization region into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. It was shown that rice-like hollow nano-CaCO3 particles in about 250 nm in size were produced with almost monodispersed size distribution. The particles started to dissolve through their edges as CO2 bubbles were injected, which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores were closed as a result of dissolution-recrystallization of the newly synthesized CaCO3 particles. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. The present methodology can be used in drug encapsulation into inorganic CaCO3 particles for cancer treatment with some modifications.Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 46Influence of Tert-Amine Groups on the Solubility of Polymers in Co2(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Kılıç, Sevgi; Wang, Yang; Johnson, J. Karl; Beckman, Eric J.; Enick, Robert M.There is a need to develop new, non-fluorous polymers that are highly soluble in CO2. Experimental evidence indicates that tertiary amine and pyridine groups may exhibit favorable Lewis acid-Lewis base type interactions with CO2. It is therefore reasonable to assume that incorporation of tertiary amines into the side chain or backbone of non-fluorous polymers may impart a degree of CO2-solubility to the polymer. We present experimental results for eight different tert-amine-containing polymers. Of these polymers, only propyl dimethylamine-functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) is soluble in CO2 at temperatures and pressures accessible in our experiments, but even this polymer is less soluble than non-functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) at the same chain length. We have performed ab initio calculations on tertiary amine-containing moieties representative of some of the polymers examined experimentally. Our calculations confirm that amine-CO2 interactions are indeed energetically favorable. However, we also find that the moiety self-interactions are typically more favorable than the CO2-moiety interactions. This indicates that the lack of solubility of amine-containing polymers in CO2 is a direct result of strong polymer-polymer interactions.
