Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 23Influence of Microstructure on the Rheological Behavior of Dense Particle Gels(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2005) Wyss, Hans M.; Şakar Deliormanlı, Aylin Müyesser; Deliormanlı, Aylin M.; Tervoort, Elena V.; Gauckler, Ludwig Julius; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyRheological measurements are performed on highly concentrated alumina gels. By using an in situ mechanism based on enzyme-catalyzed internal reactions, we are able to form gels of highly concentrated particles without disturbing the microstructures that develop during the gelation process. These gels are produced by two different destabilization mechanisms: Either the pH of the suspension is shifted toward the isoelectric point (ΔpH method) or the ionic strength of the suspension is increased at a constant pH (ΔI method). The two destabilization mechanisms lead to gels of significantly different microstructures. We find notable differences in the rheological behavior of the two systems, suggesting a bond-bending mechanism for stress transmission in the case of ΔpH gels and a bond-stretching mechanism in the case of ΔI gels. In addition, for both kinds of gels we compare the in situ properties to those obtained after altering the microstructure by shearing. Results suggest an increase in elastic and yield properties of concentrated particle gels with decreasing homogeneity of their microstructures.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 30Glycidyl-Methacry Late-Based Electrospun Mats and Catalytic Silver Nanoparticles(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2008) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Uğur, Gökçe; Gülgün, Mehmet A.; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Z.; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyP(AN-GMA) and PGMA fibers coated with monodisperse silver nanoparticles have been prepared by a combination of electrospinning and electroless plating. The morphology of the electrospun fibers remains unchanged after surface hydrazination. Oxidation of hydrazine in an ammoniacal solution of AgNO 3 reduces and deposits silver atoms along the fiber surface, which then coalesce to Ag particles. The size of the silver nanoparticles is varied between 20-60 nm. Since the density of the active sites for silver reduction is lower in P(AN-GMA), a smaller particle size could be obtained. The catalytic activity of the silver nanoparticles has been confirmed.
