Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 31Cure Kinetics of Epoxy Resin-Natural Zeolite Composites(Springer Verlag, 2008) Cansever Erdoğan, Beyhan; Seyhan, Abdullah Tuğrul; Ocak, Yılmaz; Tanoğlu, Metin; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraThe cure kinetics of epoxy resin and epoxy resin containing 10 mass% of natural zeolite were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The conformity of the cure kinetic data of epoxy and epoxy-zeolite system was checked with the auto-catalytic cure rate model. The results indicated that the hydroxyl group on the zeolite surface played a significant role in the autocatalytic reaction mechanism. This group was able to form a new transition state between anhydride hardener and epoxide group. The natural zeolite particles acted as catalyst for the epoxy system by promoting its curing rate.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 48Temperature Dependence of Electrical Conductivity in Double-Wall and Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotube/Polyester Nanocomposites(Springer Verlag, 2007) Şimşek, Yılmaz; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Seyhan, Abdullah Tuğrul; Tanoğlu, Metin; Schulte, KarlThe aim of this study is to investigate temperature dependence of electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT)/polyester nanocomposites from room temperature to 77 K using four-point probe test method. To produce nanocomposites, various types and amounts of CNTs (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 wt.%) were dispersed via 3-roll mill technique within a specially formulized resin blend of thermoset polyesters. CNTs used in the study include multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) with and without amine functional groups (-NH2). It was observed that the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into resin blend yields electrically percolating networks and electrical conductivity of the resulting nanocomposites increases with increasing amount of nanotubes. However, nanocomposites containing amino functionalized carbon nanotubes exhibit relatively lower electrical conductivity compared to those with non-functionalized carbon nanotubes. To get better interpretation of the mechanism leading to conductive network via CNTs with and without amine functional groups, the experimental results were fitted to fluctuation-induced tunneling through the barriers between the metallic regions model. It was found that the results are in good agreement with prediction of proposed model.
