Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Influence of Filler Surface Modification on the Properties of Pp Composites(Wiley, 2015) Balköse, Devrim; Balköse, Devrim; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis chapter reviews the fillers have been grouped as silica, glass, silicates, magnesium hydroxide and eggshell, cellulose and carbon, and their surface modification techniques. It explains the effects of the surface modification of fillers on the properties of composite materials having polypropylene as the matrix. The surface modification of fillers affects the properties of the polypropylene matrix composites in different aspects depending on the types of the filler and the modifications. The polypropylene phase was also functionalized by treating PP with MA or ammines. The properties most affected are the tensile strength, Young modulus, and elongation at break of the composites. If crosslinking occurs between the filler and functionalized PP, the tensile strength increases and elongation at break decreases owing to decrease in mobility. PP crystallite formation at the interface also increases the adhesion between filler and matrix. © 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

Faculty of ScienceIn this study, reactivity of single-layer GaAs against Ge atoms is studied by means of ab initio density functional theory calculations. Firstly, it is shown that Ge atoms interact quite strongly with the GaAs layer which allows the formation of Ge islands while it hinders the growth of detached germanene monolayers. It is also predicted that adsorption of Ge atoms on GaAs single-layer lead to formation of two novel stable single-layer crystal structures, namely 1H-GaGeAs and 1H(A)-GaGeAs. Both the total energy optimizations and the calculated vibrational spectra indicate the dynamical stability of both single layer structures. Moreover, although both structures crystallize in 1H phase, 1H-GaGeAs and 1H(A)-GaGeAs exhibit distinctive vibrational features in their Raman spectra which is quite important for distinguishing the structures. In contrast to the semiconducting nature of single-layer GaAs, both polytypes of GaGeAs exhibit metallic behavior confirmed by the electronic band dispersions. Furthermore, the linear-elastic constants, in-plane stiffness and Poisson ratio, reveal the ultrasoft nature of the GaAs and GaGeAs structures and the rigidity of GaAs is found to be slightly enhanced via Ge adsorption. With their stable, ultra-thin and metallic properties, predicted single-layer GaGeAs structures can be promising candidates for nanoscale electronic and mechanical applications.Article Citation - WoS: 52Citation - Scopus: 60A Step Forward To a More Efficient Wastewater Treatment by Membrane Surface Modification Via Polymerizable Bicontinuous Microemulsion(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Galiano, Francesco; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Figoli, Alberto; Deowan, Shamim Ahmed; Johnson, Daniel; Alsoy Altınkaya, Sacide; Veltri, Lucia; De Luca, Giorgio; Mancuso, Raffaella; Hilal, Nidal; Gabriele, Bartolo; Hoinkis, Jan; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAn innovative hydrophilic and anti-fouling coating material for application in membrane technology for wastewater treatment has been developed by polymerization of a polymerizable bicontinuous microemulsion (PBM) and used for surface modification of a commercial flat polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The novel nanostructured coating has been produced using acryloyloxyundecyltriethylammonium bromide (AUTEAB) as a co-polymerizable surfactant, obtained through a synthetic method characterized by a lower cost and a higher reproducibility compared to other known polymerizable surfactants. The novel composite membranes have been characterized and compared with the uncoated PES membranes. Coated membranes resulted in a smoother surface and a higher hydrophilicity with respect to the uncoated ones, and showed a particular nano-size channel-like morphology making them highly resistant to the fouling phenomenon. The covalent anchorage of the surfactant on the membrane surface ensured the embedment of the molecule in the polymeric matrix avoiding its leaching and also leading the coated membranes to have significant antimicrobial activity, which is very important for reducing the biofouling phenomenon.All these aspects make the tailored coating material an ideal and efficient coating for modifications of commercial membrane surfaces, to be used in membrane processes in wastewater treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 36Surfactant-Assisted Formation of Organophilic Ceo2 Nanoparticles(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Tunusoğlu, Özge; Muñoz-Espí, Rafael; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe report a simple one-pot method to prepare organically functionalized CeO 2 nanoparticles by controlled chemical precipitation. The particles were nucleated by mixing aqueous solutions of Ce(NO 3) 3·6H 2O and ammonia at room temperature. Different small organic molecules were chosen as capping agents and injected into the reaction medium at the beginning of the synthesis: 3-(mercaptopropyl) trimethoxy silane (MPS), hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), 3-mercapto propionic acid (3-MPA), and thioglycolic acid (TGA). The resulting nanocrystals were quasi-spherical and had a narrow mean size distribution with an average size smaller than 10nm. Dynamic nuclear polarization enhanced NMR (DNP-NMR) and FTIR measurements suggested a chemical grafting of the surfactant and a homogeneous surface modification. The colloidal stabilities were characterized by dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The stabilization by aliphatic groups was tested with a frequently used hydrophobic monomer, methyl methacrylate. According to the results, CTAB is the most effective of the used stabilizing surfactant. The mechanism of formation of the organophilic CeO 2 nanoparticles is discussed.
