Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Supercritical Fluid Reactive Deposition: a Process Intensification Technique for Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials(Elsevier, 2022) Yousefzadeh, Hamed; Akgün, Işık Sena; Barım, Şansım Bengisu; Sarı, Tarık Bercan; Eriş, Gamze; Uzunlar, Erdal; Bozbağ, Selmi Erim; Erkey, CanSupercritical fluid reactive deposition (SFRD) is a promising process intensification technique for synthesis of a wide variety of nanostructured materials. The enhanced mass transfer characteristics of supercritical fluids (SCFs) coupled with high solubilities of reducing gases in SCFs provide many advantages related to equipment size and time minimization over conventional techniques. Among SCFs, the emphasis has been placed on supercritical CO2 (scCO2) which is non-toxic, cheap and leaves no residue on the treated medium. Moreover, in SFRD, multiple processes such as dissolution, adsorption, reaction, and purification are combined in a single piece of equipment which is an excellent example of process integration for process intensification. In this review, the fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the technology are described in detail. The studies in the literature on synthesis of a wide variety of nanostructured materials including supported nanoparticles, films, and ion-exchanged zeolites by SFRD are reviewed and summarized. The applications of these materials as catalysts and sensors are described. The review hopes to lead to further studies on further development of this technology for a wide variety of applications.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 14Electroactive Nanogel Formation by Reactive Layer-By Assembly of Polyester and Branched Polyethylenimine Via Aza-Michael Addition(American Chemical Society, 2021) Yıldırımkaraman, Öykü; Özenler, Sezer; Günay, Ufuk Saim; Durmaz, Hakan; Yıldız, Ümit HakanWe here demonstrate the utilization of reactive layer-by-layer (rLBL) assembly to form a nanogel coating made of branched polyethylenimine (BPEI) and alkyne containing polyester (PE) on a gold surface. The rLBL is generated by the rapid aza-Michael addition reaction of the alkyne group of PE and the -NH2 groups of BPEI by yielding a homogeneous gel coating on the gold substrate. The thickness profile of the nanogel revealed that a 400 nm thick coating is formed by six multilayers of rLBL, and it exhibits 50 nm roughness over 8 mu m distance. The LBL characteristics were determined via depth profiling analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and it has been shown that a 70-100 nm periodic increase in gel thickness is a consequence of consecutive cycles of rLBL. A detailed XPS analysis was performed to determine the yield of the rLBL reaction: the average yield was deduced as 86.4% by the ratio of the binding energies at 286.26 eV, (C CN-C bond) and 283.33 eV, (C C triple bond). The electrochemical characterization of the nanogels ascertains that up to the six-multilayered rLBL of BPEI-PE is electroactive, and the nanogel permeability had led to drive mass and charge transfer effectively. These results promise that nanogel formation by rLBL films may be a straightforward modification of electrodes approach, and it exhibits potential for the application of soft biointerfaces.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Effects of Tib2 Nanoparticle Content on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Aluminum Matrix Nanocomposites(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017) Kandemir, SinanThe present work reports the fabrication of A357 alloy matrix nanocomposites reinforced with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt.-% TiB2 nanoparticles (20-30 nm) by a novel method which is the combination of semi-solid mechanical mixing and ultrasonic dispersion of nanoparticles in liquid state. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the fabricated nanocomposites were investigated. The microstructural studies conducted with optical and advanced electron microscopes indicated that reasonably effective deagglomeration and uniform distribution of TiB2 nanoparticles into the matrix were achieved. Transmission electron microscopy studies also confirmed that the nanoparticles were embedded into the matrix and a good bonding was obtained between the matrix and the reinforcement. Increasing nanoparticle content led to grain refinement and significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. The addition of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.-% TiB2 nanoparticles increased the 0.2 % proof stress of matrix alloy by approximately 31, 48 and 61 %, respectively. The contribution of different mechanisms to the strength enhancement is discussed. It is proposed that the strengthening is mainly due to Orowan mechanism and dislocation generation effect by the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the TiB2 nanoparticles and the matrix.Conference Object Graphene-Based Integrated Electronic, Photonic and Spintronic Circuit(SPIE, 2013) Potasz, P.; Güçlü, Alev Devrim; Özfidan, Işıl; Korkusinski, Marek; Hawrylak, PawelTo create carbon-based nanoscale integrated electronic, photonic, and spintronic circuit one must demonstrate the three functionalities in a single material, graphene quantum dots (GQDs), by engineering lateral size, shape, edges, number of layers and carrier density. We show theoretically that spatial confinement in GQDs opens an energy gap tunable from UV to THz, making GQDs equivalent to semiconductor nanoparticles. When connected to leads, GQDs act as single-electron transistors. The energy gap and absorption spectrum can be tuned from UV to THz by size and edge engineering and by external electric and magnetic fields. The sublattice engineering in, e.g., triangular graphene quantum dots (TGQDs) with zigzag edges generates a finite magnetic moment. The magnetic moment can be controlled by charging, electrical field, and photons. Addition of a single electron to the charge-neutral system destroys the ferromagnetic order, which can be restored by absorption of a photon. This allows for an efficient spin-photon conversion. These results show that graphene quantum dots have potential to fulfill the three functionalities: electronic, photonic, and spintronic, realized with different materials in current integrated circuits, as well as offer new functionalities unique to graphene.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 17Porous Nanocomposites Prepared From Layered Clay and Pmma [poly(methyl Methacrylate)](Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Tanoğlu, Metin; Ergün, YeldaThe aim of the present work is the preparation of PMMA based porous nanocomposites that contain clay (montmorillonite, MMT) platelets as reinforcements within the cell walls of the porous structure. To render the clay layers organophilic, MMT was surface treated by an ion exchange reaction between interlayer cations of the clay and ammonium ions of a surfactant. Clay/PMMA based porous nanocomposites were prepared by polymerization of water-in-oil emulsions with and without clay addition. The microstructure and compressive mechanical behavior of the nanocomposites were investigated. The results of mechanical tests showed that the porous systems with the addition of 1 wt.% of organoclay (OMMT) exhibited a 90% and 50% increase of collapse stress and elastic modulus values, respectively, as compared to neat porous PMMA.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Effect of Humidity on Electrical Conductivity of Zinc Stearate Nanofilms(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Öztürk, Serdar; Balköse, Devrim; Okur, Salih; Umemura, JunzoIn this work, stearic acid (StAc) and zinc stearate (ZnSt2) nanofilms were deposited on glass and silver substrates using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film technique and their structural and electrical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction and IR techniques revealed that more crystalline and better films were obtained from ZnSt2 compare to StAc. Electrical conductivity of ZnSt2 LB films with 13 layers having 28 nm thickness were measured in the range of humidity of 20-60% and it is seen that the conductivity was very sensitive to relative humidity (RH) above 40% at 25 °C and showed no hysteresis during adsorption and desorption of water vapor. Water vapor adsorption isotherm of ZnSt2 powders was determined and conductivity increase with humidity was attributed to water vapor adsorption. Constant electrical conductivity of the ZnSt2 films at low relative humidities and at low voltage values is an advantageous property which allows using them as organic nanofilms with insulating properties.Article Citation - WoS: 74Citation - Scopus: 77Full Bulk Spin Polarization and Intrinsic Tunnel Barriers at the Surface of Layered Manganites(Nature Publishing Group, 2005) Freeland, John W.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Berghuis, Peter; Badica, E.; Kavich, Jerald J.; Zheng, Hong; Mitchell, John F.The affect of full bulk spin polarization and intrinsic tunnel barriers on the surface of layered manganites were studied using a combination of surface-sensitive x-ray and tunnelling process. The surface bilayer of air-cleaved layered manganites forms an antiferromagnetic insulating nanoskin composed of a single bilayer unit. It was shown that for the quasi-two-dimensional bilayer manganites the outermost Mn-O bilayer is affected while the next bilayer displays the full spin polarization of the bulk. The results show that the outermost bilayer act as an intrinsic barrier between the fully spin-polarized bilayer beneath and a subsequently deposited ferromagnetic counterelectrode.Article Citation - WoS: 185Pmma/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites Prepared by In-Situ Bulk Polymerization(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Memesa, Mine; Castignolles, Patrice; Wegner, GerhardDispersing surface-modified zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnO) in methyl methacrylate (MMA) improves the free radical bulk polymerization process as well as the thermal stability of the formed polymer. Hydroxy groups available on the ZnO surface may induce a degenerative transfer. This suppresses the gel effect, which leads to a better control of the heat evolution during the late stages of polymerization. The formation of chains having vinylidene end groups and head-to-head links is suppressed, which shifts the onset of thermal decomposition to the regime where decomposition occurs by random chain scission.Article Citation - WoS: 83Precipitation of Monodisperse Zno Nanocrystals Via Acid-Catalyzed Esterification of Zinc Acetate(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2006) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Muñozz-Espí, Rafael; Lieberwirth, Ingo; Wegner, GerhardA wet-chemical method to produce zinc oxide nanocrystals of monodisperse size distribution (diameter range of 20-80 nm) is presented. The synthesis starts from zinc acetate dihydrate which is converted to ZnO in the presence of 1-pentanol in m-xylene at 130 °C. We report for the first time catalysis of this reaction by p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate (p-TSA), which allows a shorter reaction time and improves both the reproducibility of the particle size distribution and the crystallinity of the particles. The reaction can be scaled up to give multigram quantities of product per batch. Particles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and photoluminesence (PL) spectroscopy. Room temperature PL spectra of ZnO prepared without catalyst exhibit a strong and sharp UV emission band at ca. 385 nm and a weak and very broad green-yellow visible emission centered at ca. 550-560 nm. However, for nanoparticles precipitated in the presence of p-TSA, the UV emission is enhanced by a factor of 4, which can be correlated with the improvement of crystal perfection. A particle formation mechanism is discussed.
