    Influence of Thixotropy Determined by Different Test Methods on Formwork Pressure of Self-Consolidating Concrete
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Tuyan, Murat; Ahari, Reza Saleh; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Andiç Çakır, Özge; Ramyar, Kambiz
    In this experimental study, the influence of thixotropy determined by different test methods on the formwork pressure of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with varying compositions was investigated. In order to determine the effect of water/binder (w/b) ratio, slump flow diameter and coarse aggregate/total aggregate (CA/TA) ratio on thixotropy and formwork pressure of SCC, fifteen concrete mixtures were prepared. Four different test methods i.e., “structural break-down area” (SBDA), “break-down percentage” (BDP), “drop in apparent viscosity” (DAV) and “yield value at rest” (YVR) were performed to determine the thixotropy of the SCC mixtures. Test results showed that the SBDA, DAV and YVR methods were more appropriate to evaluate the thixotropy of SCC than the BDP method. A strong correlation between thixotropy and formwork pressure was found using SBDA, DAV and YVR methods in SCC mixtures having low w/b ratio. There was a strong relationship between thixotropy determined by SBDA, BDP and DAV methods and formwork pressure in low slump flow SCC mixtures, while thixotropy determined by the YVR method showed good correlation with the formwork pressure in SCC mixtures having high slump flow values. Finally, new models were developed to estimate the formwork pressure of all kinds of mixtures as a function of thixotropy and time. The models were found to be successful for each of the thixotropy measurement method.

    Non-Iridescent Structural Colors From Uniform-Sized Sio2 Colloids
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Topçu, Gökhan; Güner, Tuğrul; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Structural colors have recently attracted interest from diverse fields of research due to their ease of fabrication and eco-friendliness. These types of colors are, in principle, achieved by periodically arranged submicron-diameter colloidal particles. The interaction of light with a structure containing long-range ordered colloidal particles leads to coloration; this usually varies depending on the angle of observation (iridescence). However, the majority of the applications demand constant color that is independent of the viewing angle (non-iridescence). In this work, silica colloids were obtained using the Stöber method at different sizes from 150 to 300 nm in an alcoholic dispersion. The casting of the dispersion on a substrate leaves behind a photonic crystal showing a colorful iridescent film. However, centrifugation and redispersion of the SiO2 particles into fresh solvent may cause the formation of small, aggregated silica domains in the new dispersion. The casting of this dispersion allows for the development of photonic glass, presumably due to the accumulation of aggregates showing stable colloidal film independent of viewing angle. Moreover, depending on the size of the silica colloids, non-iridescent photonic glasses with various colors (violet, blue, green, and orange) are obtained.

    Simultaneous Identification of Spectral Properties and Sizes of Multiple Particles in Solution With Subnanometer Resolution
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Karabudak, Engin; Brookes, Emre; Lesnyak, Vladimir; Gaponik, Nikolai; Eychmüller, Alexander; Walter, Johannes; Segets, Doris; Peukert, Wolfgang; Wohlleben, Wendel; Demeler, Borries; Cölfen, Helmut
    We report an unsurpassed solution characterization technique based on analytical ultracentrifugation, which demonstrates exceptional potential for resolving particle sizes in solution with sub-nm resolution. We achieve this improvement in resolution by simultaneously measuring UV/Vis spectra while hydrodynamically separating individual components in the mixture. By equipping an analytical ultracentrifuge with a novel multi-wavelength detector, we are adding a new spectral discovery dimension to traditional hydrodynamic characterization, and amplify the information obtained by orders of magnitude. We demonstrate the power of this technique by characterizing unpurified CdTe nanoparticle samples, avoiding tedious and often impossible purification and fractionation of nanoparticles into apparently monodisperse fractions. With this approach, we have for the first time identified the pure spectral properties and band-gap positions of discrete species present in the CdTe mixture.
