Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 21Humidity Sensing Properties of Chitosan by Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance Method(American Scientific Publishers, 2012) Havare, A. Kemal; İlgü, Hüseyin; Okur, Salih; Şanlı Mohamed, Gülşah; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyHumidity adsorption kinetics of chitosan films was investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique. In this study, chitosan was synthesized from chitin by deacetylation process in 2.0% (v/v) acetic acid solution and then coated on QCM to measure humidity response. The Langmuir model was used to determine the adsorption rates and Gibbs free energy for various relative humidity between 11% and 94%. The average Gibbs free energy for adsorption was obtained as 12.93 kJ/mol. Our reproducible experimental results show that chitosan films are very sensitive to relative humidity changes at room temperature.

Department of Pyhsics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe report a simple synthetic route to fabricate crystalline ZnO and CeO2/ZnO nanofibrous mats and their sensing characteristics against volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, propanol, ethanol, and dichloromethane. Precursor fibers were fabricated by electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol) and metal salt(s) at 2.5 kV cm-1 in aqueous solution. The fibers were directly deposited on the crystal surface of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The crystal, which was coated by nanostructured PVA/metal precursor(s) fibers, was subjected to calcination in air at 500 °C for 5 h. The formation of an oxide based nanofiber mat was revealed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Upon exposure of the nanofiber mats to the VOCs, the compounds adsorbed onto the surface of oxidic fibers. The physisorption of the compounds was confirmed by FTIR and QCM. Both systems showed sensitivity to the VOCs and they hold a broad promise particularly for sensing applications of volatile alcoholic compounds. The introduction of CeO2 into the ZnO structure reduced the sensitivity of ZnO most probably due to the decrement of oxygen vacancies.Article Citation - WoS: 74Humidity Sensing Properties of Zno-Based Fibers by Electrospinning(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Okur, Salih; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyZinc oxide (ZnO) based fibers with a diameter of 80-100 nm were prepared by electrospinning. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate dihydrate were dissolved in water and the polymer/salt solution was electrospun at 2.5 kV cm-1. The resulting electrospun fibers were subjected to calcination at 500 °C for 2 h to obtain ZnO-based fibers. Humidity sensing properties of the fiber mats were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method and electrical measurements. The adsorption kinetics under constant relative humidity (RH) between 10% and 90% were explained using Langmuir adsorption model. Results of the measurements showed that ZnO-based fibers were found to be promising candidate for humidity sensing applications at room temperature.
