Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Design and Performance Comparison of Polymer-Derived Ceramic Ambigels and Aerogels(American Chemical Society, 2023) Soraru, Gian Domenico; İçin, Öykü; Semerci, Tuğçe; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar VakıfThis work reports the synthesis and characterization of preceramic-and polymer-derived SiOC aerogels obtained from a commercial siloxane resin. The preceramic aerogels were obtained by ambient pressure drying (ambigels) and CO2 supercritical drying. Despite different drying processes, the final ceramic ambi/aerogels have very similar microstructural features in density, porosity, pore size, and specific surface area. Both materials have shown promising results for oil sorption and water cleaning. Supercritically dried-SiOC aerogel had low thermal conductivity with 0.046 W.m(-1).K-1 at RT and 0.073 W.m(-1).K-1 at 500 degrees C. These results suggest that substituting the rather complicated and expensive CO2-SC drying with the more friendly and cheap ambient pressure drying can be done without having to accept significant microstructural/property degradation.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Polymer-derived ceramic molten metal filters(Springer, 2022) Dizdar, Kerem Can; Kulkarni, Apoorv; Dışpınar, Derya; Soraru, Gian Domenico; Ahmetoğlu, Çekdar Vakıf; Semerci, TuğçeThis paper reports the synthesis and the performance of polymer-derived ceramic filters for molten metal filtration. Two different filter types were studied: foam filters produced from flexible polyurethane (PU) foams and additive manufacturing (AM) filters produced from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cellular structure, and the results from all filter types were compared with that of the commercially used SiC foam filters. In both cases, the urethane-based polymeric template was impregnated with the preceramic solution, followed by pyrolysis. The produced ceramic components were then used to filter a molten Al alloy (A357), and the resulting Al samples were characterized for their mechanical properties. When filters were used, more reproducible and reliable mechanical properties were achieved compared to the samples obtained without any filtration. Among the different filters tested, the foam filters demonstrated better performance in comparison with the AM ceramic filters due probably to the three-dimensional interconnected porosity compared with the unidirectional cellular structure of the AM ceramic filters.
