    Determination of Activation Energy for Carbon/Epoxy Prepregs Containing Carbon Nanotubes by Differential Scanning Calorimetry
    (SAGE Publications, 2022) Uz, Yusuf Can; Tanoğlu, Metin
    The aim of the present study is the thermal characterization of laboratory-scale carbon fiber/epoxy-based prepregs by incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Investigation of the cure behavior of a prepreg system is crucial for the characterization and optimization of the fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite. To affect dispersion characteristics, SWCNTs were functionalized by oxidizing their surface with carboxyl (-COOH) group using an acid treatment. The modified resin system contained 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 wt. % functionalized SWCNTs (F-SWCNTs). Carbon fiber (CF) reinforced prepregs containing various amount of F-SWCNTs were prepared using drum-type winding technique. FTIR was performed to identify new bonding groups formed after the functionalization of SWCNTs. Cure kinetics of prepregs prepared with/without F-SWCNTs were investigated using isoconversional methods.

    Anticorrosion Coating for Magnesium Alloys: Electrospun Superhydrophobic Polystyrene/Sio2 Composite Fibers
    (TUBITAK, 2018) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Kap, Özlem; Farzaneh, Amir
    Superhydrophobic nanocomposite coatings for magnesium surfaces with remarkable corrosion resistance were fabricated by electrospinning in the presence of fluorosilane-functionalized silica (SiO2) nanoparticles. The effects of surface-modified silica (mod-SiO2) nanoparticles on the superhydrophobicity and corrosion resistance of polystyrene (PS)/mod-SiO2 fiber coatings were evaluated. The incorporation of the SiO2 nanoparticles endows PS fibers with rough surfaces exhibiting a water contact angle (WCA) of 165◦. The surface wettability, corrosion resistance, and their relation to the inorganic content in the PS fibers and the contact angle of the composite coatings were explored. Analysis of the corrosion results confirmed that the PS/mod-SiO2 coating protected the Mg surface from corrosion. In addition, PS fibers containing mod-SiO2 nanoparticles showed improved hydrophobicity, and excellent corrosion resistance was achieved with PS fibers containing 4 wt% SiO2 nanoparticles.

    Polyglycolide-Montmorillonite as a Novel Nanocomposite Platform for Biosensing Applications
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Ünal, Betül; Yalçınkaya, Esra Evrim; Gümüştaş, Sıla; Sönmez, Burak; Özkan, Melek; Balcan, Mehmet; Odacı Demirkol, Dilek; Timur, Suna
    In catalytic biosensors, the immobilization of biomolecules in a suitable matrix is one of the vital parameters for obtaining improved systems. Clays, which are intercalated with various organic compounds, have a great tendency to develop biosensors with high stability, sensitivity and reproducibility. Herein, a polymer/clay nanocomposite based on natural silicate montmorilonite (Mt) and a biodegradable polymer polyglycolide (PGA) was prepared and characterized by FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Then, the resulting matrix was used as a fixation matrix for pyranose oxidase (POx), which was selected as a model enzyme. The bioactive layer was fabricated by immobilization of POx on glassy carbon electrodes by means of PGA-Mt and bovine serum albumin. The POx biosensor revealed a good linear range from 0.01 to 0.5 mM glucose with a LOD of 1.2 μM. After the optimization of the working and preparation conditions, characterization studies were performed for glucose detection. Finally, the PGA-Mt/POx biosensor was confirmed to have detected glucose in beverages without needing any sample pre-treatment.
