Article Investigating the Effects of Functionalized Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes on the Cure Behavior of a Carbon/Epoxy Prepreg System by an Optimized Parameter Approach(Wiley, 2025) Oz, Murat; Uz, Yusuf Can; Tanoglu, Gamze; Tanoglu, Metin; Barisik, MuratCarbon/Epoxy composite materials are used in a wide range of applications due to their superior performance. However, their properties are strongly related to cross-linking reactions occurring during the curing process, and a prior estimation of curing parameters is the key to manufacturing the desired material. This study builds a mathematical model to solve the inverse kinetic problem based on differential scanning calorimetry data and later presents its use in curing experiments. The method derived (Gamze-Murat-Neslisah (GMN) approach) determines the pre-exponential and activation energy of the curing process. Later, an extended experimental study was performed. Functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes (F-SWCNTs) were prepared by oxidizing their surface with carboxyl to enhance the dispersion of the nanoparticulates. The epoxy resin systems were modified with 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% wt. F-SWCNTs, which were impregnated on carbon fibers (CFs). The curing behavior was studied, cure kinetic parameters were determined, and the thermal behavior was characterized. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data sets for CF/epoxy prepregs containing F-SWCNTs were used for the verification of the proposed method. It was found that the GMN approach is in good agreement with the experimentally measured data for all kinetic parameters. The addition of F-SWCNTs increased the material's curing efficiency as the CNTs enhanced heat transport in composites, reducing the activation energy. The results obtained from the GMN algorithm were also found in good agreement with the well-known Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Kissinger methods, while the current GMN method revealed itself as an accurate algorithm to obtain the activation energy.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Development of Resin-Based Dental Composites Containing Hydroxyapatite and Zirconia Nanoparticles(Wiley, 2024) Taskiran, Senagul Tunca; Tanoglu, Metin; Cerci, Nazife; Cevahir, Aref; Damar, Ceren Turkdogan; Unver, Elcin; Aktas, Mustafa IlkerIn clinical applications, resin-based dental composites primarily face challenges with fractures and secondary caries. To overcome these issues, the physical characteristics of dental composites, especially mechanical properties, need to be improved. Hydroxyapatite (HA), present in the structure of the teeth, is preferred due to its biological properties, and zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles are known to enhance the mechanical properties of this type of composites. The aim of this study is to develop resin-based dental composites containing HA and ZrO2 nanoparticles. The study also aims to explore the synergistic effect of these two nanoparticles on the physical properties of the developed composites. Composites with nine different compositions were prepared by mixing the components with the help of a mortar mill. The flexural and compressive strength, polymerization shrinkage, depth of cure and water sorption, and solubility properties of the prepared composites have been investigated. All composites have been found to meet the requirements of ISO 4049 standard. Among them, composite containing 5 wt. % HA and 1 wt. % ZrO2 (H5Z1) has exhibited the highest flexural strength with an increase of 58% compared to the control sample, and composite containing 3 wt. % HA and 2 wt. % ZrO2 (H3Z2) has exhibited the highest compressive strength with an increase of 22% compared to the control sample. Other physical properties of the composites have been found to be in an acceptable level.Highlights Dental composites with HA and ZrO2 fillers were developed by a mortar mill.
