Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Influence of Calcination Temperature on Microstructure and Surface Charge of Membrane Top Layers Composed of Zirconia Nanoparticles(Springer Verlag, 2015) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinThe purpose of the research is to investigate the changes in microstructure and physicochemical characteristics, mainly surface charge (i.e. zeta potential) of zirconia membrane top layer during calcination. Zirconia is one of the most commonly preferred materials for ceramic membrane top layers due to its superior durability. The physicochemical properties of the top layer composed of submicron / nano particles is necessary not only for Donnan exclusion but also for dynamics of membrane fouling. In the present research the possibility of preparation of zirconia top layers with varying surface charge with changing calcination temperature was shown and a correlation between phase transformation and surface charge was determined.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Effect of Compaction Pressure on Structural and Superconducting Properties of Bi-2223 Superconductors(Springer Verlag, 2010) Kocabaş, Kemal; Gökçe, Melis; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Bilgili, ÖzlemIn this work, effects of compaction pressure on the structural and superconducting properties of BSCCO ceramic superconductors were investigated. The study was carried out on two systems which were, System I: Bi 1.7Pb 0.3Sr 2Ca 2Cu 3O y and System II: Bi 1.6Pb 0.3Ag 0.1Sr 2Ca 2Cu 3O y, respectively. Ceramic powders were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 850°C after compaction at five different pressures in the 150-750 MPa range. Critical temperatures of samples were determined by resistivity-temperature determinations made by four-point probe method in liquid nitrogen conditions. XRD analysis was conducted by powder X-ray diffraction method. Morphology of the grains present in the samples were determined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs at 2 K× and 2.5 K× magnifications for System I and System II, respectively. Sintered densities of the superconducting ceramics were measured by Archimedes water displacement method and unit cell parameters were additionally obtained from XRD data. T c values for System I was determined to be in the 109-115 K with sample D having the highest T c of 115 K while T c varied in the 104-109 K range and sample B had the highest T c value of 109 K for System II. The transition width, which is a sign of the purity of the samples, was determined to be narrow for both systems. The data obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that 2223 high-T c phase was dominant in both systems. The determination of the optimum pellet compaction pressure for BSCCO ceramic superconductors was the main purpose of this work. The results of this work indicated that compaction at around 450 MPa improves the superconducting and structural properties of the BSCCO ceramic superconductors. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 42Sol-Gel Derived Mesoporous and Microporous Alumina Membranes(Springer Verlag, 2010) Topuz, Berna; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinStable polymeric and colloidal boehmite sols were prepared by sol-gel process through controlled hydrolysis/condensation reactions. The particle sizes of the colloidal sols were in the 12-25 nm range depending on the process parameters and about 2 nm for polymeric sols. The presence of a significant increase in the microporosity content of the heat treated polymeric membranes relative to the mesoporous colloidal membranes might make the design of thermally stable microporous alumina membranes with controlled pore structures possible. The phase structure evolution in the 600-800 °C range had shown that the crystallization of the gamma alumina in the amorphous matrix starts at about 800 °C. This indicated that the pore structure stability may be enhanced through processing up to this relatively high temperature in polymeric alumina derived unsupported membranes. The permeance values of the two and three layered colloidal alumina membranes were observed to be independent of pressure which implies that the dominant gas transport mechanism is Knudsen diffusion in these structures. This was also supported by the 2.8 nm BJH pore sizes of the colloidal membranes. The Knudsen diffusion equation derived permeances of the polymeric alumina membranes with thicknesses of about 300 nm were determined to be very close to the experimentally determined permeance values. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12The Effect of Zn Substitution of Ca in Bipbsrcacuo Superconductors Sintered at 830°c(Springer Verlag, 2009) Kocabaş, Kemal; Şakiroğlu, Serpil; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Ercan, İsmail; Epik, Hakan; Bilgili, ÖzlemThe effect of partial substitution of Ca by Zn in Bi 1.7Pb 0.3Sr 2Ca 2-x Zn x Cu 3O y at x=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 levels on the electrical and structural properties was investigated in this work. The characterization of the ceramics prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method were done by resistance-temperature measurements, XRD, SEM and density analysis. Low levels of Zn substitution of Ca caused significant changes in the properties of the ceramics. The low-T c superconducting properties were enhanced and the fraction of the low-T c (2212) phase were found to increase at x=0.15 level of Zn substitution at 830°C sintering temperature. Zero resistance was observed only in sample D with x=0.15 and the T c was determined as 92 K. The SEM micrographs and the density analysis have shown that this was the densest packed ceramic.
