    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, Murat
    Carbon/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.

    Development 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 Ilker
    In 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.

    Improving Mechanical Behavior of Adhesively Bonded Composite Joints by Incorporating Reduced Graphene Oxide Added Polyamide 6,6 Electrospun Nanofibers
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Yeke, Melisa; Barisik, Murat; Tanoglu, Metin; Ulas, M. Erdal; Nuhogu, Kaan; Esenoglu, Gozde; Iris, M. Erdem
    Adhesive joining of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites requires adequate interface tailoring and careful surface preparation to obtain a strong bond between components. This study aimed to improve the mechanical performance of adhesively bonded unidirectional carbon fiber-based (CFRP) composite parts by modifying joint surfaces with graphene-added electrospun Polyamide 6,6 (PA66) nanofibers. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was dispersed at 10 % wt/v PA66 solution at three different concentrations below rGO saturation limits. Bead-free nanofibers with homogenous graphene distribution were obtained on a prepreg by electrospinning. Addition of up to 2 % rGO yielded complete dispersion through the nanofiber network while the higher values created local agglomerations. Surface wetting experiments showed conversion of slightly hydrophobic surfaces to complete hydrophilic with electrospun nanofiber coating and the lowest contact angle was obtained at 2 % wt/v rGO addition (26.18 degrees +/- 2.03 degrees). Composite plates were produced in a hot press keeping the modified prepregs on top. Plates with different surface treatments joined by secondary bonding using 3 plies of FM 300 K film adhesive. Mechanical properties of adhesively bonded composites were tested by Single lap joint and Charpy impact tests. We achieved an 18 % increase in shear strength and 31 % increase in impact strength by adding 2 % wt/v ratio rGO into PA66 electrospun nanofiber.
