Conference Object Structural and Thermal Characterization of Ti+o Ion Implanted Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Öztarhan, Ahmet; Urkaç Sokullu, Şadiye Emel; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, N.; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Nikolaev, A.In this work, Metal-Gas Hybrid Ion Implantation technique was used as a tool for the surface modification of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Samples were Ti + O ion implanted by using Metal-Vapour Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion implanter to a fluence of 5x10(16) ion/cm(2) for each species and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Untreated and surface treated samples were investigated by Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS) Spectrometry, Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Results indicate that Ti + O ion implantation can be applied on UHMWPE surfaces successfully. ATR-FTIR spectra indicate that the C-H concentration on the surface decreased after Ti + O implantation. Thermal characterization with TGA and DSC shows that polymeric decomposition temperature is shifted after ion implantation.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Effect of the Zeolite Filler on the Thermal Degradation Kinetics of Polypropylene(Scibulcom Ltd., 2006) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Pehlivan, Hilal; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraIn this study, the thermal degradation behaviour of polypropylene (PP) and polypropylene-zeolite composites was investigated. Clinoptilolite, a natural zeolitic tuff, was used as the filling material into the composites. Effect of both pure clinoptilolite and silver ion exchanged form of clinoptilolite addition on the thermal degradation kinetics of polypropylene composites was studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) techniques. Polymer degradation was evaluated by using DSC with heating rates of 5, 10, and 20 degrees C/ min from room temperature up to 500 degrees C. Silver concentration (4.36, 27.85 and 183.8 mg Ag/g zeolite) was the selected parameter under consideration. From the DSC curves, it was observed that the heat of degradation values of the composites containing 2-6% silver exchanged zeolites (321-390 kJ/kg) were larger compared to that of the pure PP free of silver and zeolite (258 kJ/kg). From the DSC results it was confirmed that PP-zeolite composites can be used at higher temperatures compared to the pure PP polymer because of its higher thermal stability. The thermal decomposition activation energies of the composites were calculated by using both the Kissenger and Ozawa models. The values predicted from these two equations were in close agreement. From the TGA curves, it was found that zeolite addition into the PP matrix speeds down the decomposition reaction, however, silver exchanged zeolite addition into the matrix accelerates the reaction. The higher the silver concentration, the lower the thermal decomposition activation energies were obtained. As a result, PP was found to be much more susceptible to thermal decomposition in the presence of silver exchanged zeolite.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 43Preparation and Barrier Properties of Chitosan-Layered Silicate Nanocomposite Films(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2010) Oğuzlu, Hale; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaIn this study, chitosan nanocomposite films were prepared using a solvent-casting method by incorporation of an organically modified montmorillonite (Cloisite 10A). The effect of filler concentration on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, mechanical and thermal properties of the composite films was evaluated. The structure of nanocomposites and the state of intercalation of the clay were characterized by XRD. The water vapor permeability of pure chitosan films was measured as a function of relative humidity (RH). It was found that the permeability value increased with an increase in RH. The water vapor and gas permeability values of the composite films decreased significantly with increasing filler concentration. Permeation data was fitted to various phenomenological models predicting the permeability of polymer systems filled with nanoclays as a function of clay concentration and aspect ratio of nanoplatelets. According to the XRD results, an increase in basal spacing was obtained with respect to pure clay for chitosan/clay nanocomposites. This demonstrated the formation of intercalated structure of clay in the polymer matrix. Tensile strength and elongation at break of the composites increased significantly with the addition of clay, however the thermal and color properties of the films were not much affected by the intercalation of clay into polymer matrix.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 13Preparation and Characterization of Polylactide-Hydroxyapatite Biocomposites(Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Gültekin, Naz; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Çiftçioğlu, Rukiye; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye ŞebnemIn the present study, the preparation and characterization of polylactide-Hydroxyapatite(HA) composite films for biomedical applications have been studied. The effects of number of parameters such as polymer type, HA loading, surface modification and its concentration on the mechanical and microstructural properties of the composites were investigated. Poly-L-Lactide and 96/4 Poly(L-Lactide co D-Lactide) copolymer-HA composites containing 10-40 wt% HA particles have been prepared by solvent casting technique. The HA powder was synthesized by precipitation technique. Interfacial interactions between HA and polylactide polymer were modified to improve filler compatibility and mechanical properties of the composites by surface treatment of the HA with two different silane coupling agents; 3-aminopropyltriemoxysilane (AMPTES) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) at three different concentrations(0.5-2 wt%). Silane treatment indicated improvements in the mechanical properties of the composites compared to the untreated HA loaded polylactide composites. Tensile test results showed that the maximum improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites was obtained for PLA composites containing 1 wt% aminofunctional silane treated HA and 0.5-wt% mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silane treated HA for PDLA composites. Scanning electron microscopy studies also revealed better dispersion of silane treated HA particles in the polymer matrix.
