    Analysis of Adhesively Bonded Joints of Laser Surface Treated Composite Primary Components of Aircraft Structures
    (Elsevier, 2023) Martin, Seçkin; Nuhoğlu, Kaan; Aktaş, Engin; Tanoğlu, Metin; İplikçi, Hande; Barışık, Murat; Yeke, Melisa; Türkdoğan, Ceren; Esenoğlu, Gözde; Dehneliler, Serkan
    The performance of the adhesively bonded aerospace structures highly depends on the adhesion strength between the adhesive and adherents, which is affected by, in particular, the condition of the bonding surface. Among the various surface treatment methods, as state of the art, laser surface treatment is a suitable option for the CFRP composite structures to enhance the adhesion performance, adjusting the roughness and surface free energy with relatively minimizing the damage to the fibers. The aim of this study is the validation and evaluation of the adhesive bonding behavior of the laser surface-treated CFRP composite structures, using the finite element technique to perform a conservative prediction of the failure load and damage growth. Such objectives were achieved by executing both experimental and numerical analyses of the secondary bonded CFRP parts using a structural adhesive. In this regard, to complement physical experiments by means of numerical simulation, macro-scale 3D FEA of adhesively bonded Single Lap Joint and Skin-Spar Joint specimens has been developed employing the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) technique in order to simulate bonding behavior in composite structures especially skin-spar relation in the aircraft wing-box.

    Staphylococcus Epidermidis Adhesion on Surface-Treated Open-Cell Ti6al4v Foams
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, Mustafa; Sudağıdan, Mert
    The effect of alkali and nitric acid surface treatments on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to the surface of 60% porous open-cell Ti6Al4V foam was investigated. The resultant surface roughness of foam particles was determined from the ground flat surfaces of thin foam specimens. Alkali treatment formed a porous, rough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer on Ti6Al4V particles, while nitric acid treatment increased the number of undulations on foam flat and particle surfaces, leading to the development of finer surface topographical features. Both surface treatments increased the nanometric-scale surface roughness of particles and the number of bacteria adhering to the surface, while the adhesion was found to be significantly higher in alkali-treated foam sample. The significant increase in the number of bacterial attachment on the alkali-treated sample was attributed to the formation of a highly porous and nanorough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer.

    The Effect of Fiber Surface Treatments on the Tensile and Water Sorption Properties of Polypropylene-Luffa Fiber Composites
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Demir, Hasan; Atikler, Ulaş; Balköse, Devrim; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    The effects of coupling agents on the mechanical, morphological, and water sorption properties of luffa fiber (LF)/polypropylene(PP) composites were studied. In order to enhance the interfacial interactions between the PP matrix and the luffa fiber, three different types of coupling agents, (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (AS), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanethiol (MS), and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) were used. The PP composites containing 2-15 wt% of LF were prepared in a torque rheometer. The tensile properties of the untreated and treated composites were determined as a function of filler loading. Tensile strength and Young's modulus increased with employment of the coupling agents accompanied by a decrease in water absorption with treatment due to the better adhesion between the fiber and the matrix. The maximum improvement in the mechanical properties was obtained for the MS treated LF composites. The interfacial interactions improved the filler compatibility, mechanical properties, and water resistance of composites. The improvement in the interfacial interaction was also confirmed by the Pukanszky model. Good agreement was obtained between experimental data and the model prediction. Morphological studies demonstrated that better adhesion between the fiber and the matrix was achieved especially for the MS and AS treated LF composites. Atomic force microscope (AFM) studies also showed that the surface roughness of LFs decreased with the employment of silane-coupling agents.

    Effect of Various Treatment and Glazing (coating) Techniques on the Roughness and Wettability of Ceramic Dental Restorative Surfaces
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Aksoy, Gökhan; Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; Çoşkun, G.
    Surface treatment procedures such as grinding and polishing are needed to provide the ceramic dental restorative materials with proper fitting and occlusion. The treated surfaces are customarily glazed to improve the strength and smoothness. Though smoothness and wetting of the dental surfaces are important to minimize bacterial plaque retention, influence of the surface treatment and glazing procedures on the final surface roughness and its correlation to wettability are overlooked. In this work, effect of various treatment (diamond fraising, stoning, sanding and aluminum oxide and rubber polishing) and glazing (auto and overglazing) techniques on the final roughness and the resulting wettability of dental ceramic surfaces were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans, 75 scans per sample. The surfaces were characterized and assigned an average roughness measure, Ra. The wettability of the same surfaces was evaluated using micro-contact angle measurements (25 micro-bubbles placed on a grid on each surface) to correlate the final surface roughness and wettability. The results show that overglazing prevails over surface irregularities from different treatment procedures and provides homegeneously smooth surfaces with mean Ra < 10 nm. It also produces uniformly wetted surfaces with low contact angles around 20°. The autoglazed surfaces are less smooth (mean Ra around 50 nm) and displays sporadic topographic irregularities. They display larger and less uniform contact angles ranging between 35° and 50°. The results suggest that overglazing should be preferred after surface treatment to obtain a smooth and well-wetted dental ceramic surface.

    The Effect of Nitric Acid Surface Treatment on Cap Deposition of Ti6al4v Open-Cell Foams in Sbf Solution
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Türkan, Uğur; Güden, Mustafa
    The effect of nitric acid surface treatment on CaP deposition of an open-cell Ti6Al4V foam (60% porous and 300–500 m in pore size), prepared by means of the space holder method using 94 and 66 μm average particle size powders, was investigated in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution up to 14 days. Although, nitric acid surface treatment did not change the foam flat surface roughness values significantly, it increased surface area difference greatly by introducing nano scale undulations on the surface. The increased surface area difference was found to be more pronounced in smaller particle size foam samples. A continuous relatively thin CaP coating layer formed after 5 and 14 days of SBF immersion in nitric acid surface treated small and larger average particle size foam specimens, respectively. Whereas, the cells of untreated foam specimen were observed to be filled with CaP precipitates and a continuous CaP layer development was found after 14 days of SBF immersion. These results were also confirmed with the grazing incidence XRD and FTIR analysis of SBF immersed specimens.
