    Developments in Antimicrobial Food Packaging From Zein Incorporating Natural Active Agents
    (Elsevier, 2025) Yemenicioğlu, A.
    In this chapter, the current developments in using zein for antimicrobial food packaging have been discussed with particular emphasis on incorporated natural active agents. Although zein could be incorporated with antimicrobial enzymes and peptides, incorporation of phenolic compounds, essential oils, and organic acids into zein packaging have gained a particular interest as these natural antimicrobial agents also help reducing classical brittle nature of zein films. The composites or blends of zein with lipids and fatty acids still maintain their importance as antimicrobial films having sustained release properties. However, recent developments have also addressed different benefits of using zein nanofibers, nanoparticles, and nanoemulsions in packaging. Moreover, zein has also become a promising material to obtain antimicrobial electrospun mats. This chapter discusses not only traditional antimicrobial zein films and coatings, but also recently developed zein-based antimicrobial materials. © 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Development of Lightweight Geopolymer Composites Containing Perlite and Vermiculite
    (International OCSCO World Press, 2023) Korniejenko, Kinga; Pławecka, Kinga; Bulut, Alperen; Şahin, Baran; Azizağaoğlu, Göksu; Figiela, Beata
    Purpose: The aim of this work was to prepare and characterise geopolymer composites containing lightweight aggregates-perlite and vermiculite. Design/methodology/approach: The geopolymer matrix was prepared on the basis of fly ash, sand and a 6M sodium hydroxide solution with sodium silicate. The properties of the materials were tested 28 days after the preparation of the samples. The following research methods were used to characterise the composites: compressive and flexural strength tests, microstructural tests using a scanning electron microscope, and thermal conductivity were measured. Findings: The results obtained showed a slight effect of the additives on the strength properties. Lightweight aggregates are characterised by good coherence with the matrix material. Their addition allowed to reduce the density and lowered the thermal conductivity of the materials. The results obtained indicate that the proposed additives can improve the properties of the geopolymer composite for use in the construction industry. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on geopolymer composites with perlite and involve fire-resistant and water-absorption tests. Practical implications: The production of lightweight building materials brings a number of benefits, such as reducing the density of building elements and, at the same time, the entire structure, which results in a reduction in their weight, as well as lower transport costs. Such elements have better thermal and acoustic insulation, reflected in the parameters of buildings. An additional advantage is the reduced environmental impact through better insulation properties, lower fuel consumption during transport, etc. Originality/value: The density of the material can be reduced by using lightweight aggregates or obtaining porous material in the foamed process. In the case of geopolymer composites, a number of studies related to foamed materials have been provided, but there is only a few previous research connected with lightweight aggregates such as perlite and vermiculite. © by International OCSCO World Press.

    Development of Composite Drive Shaft Tube for Automotive Industry
    (Applied Mechanics Laboratory, 2019) Arslan Özgen, Gizem; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin; Yücetürk, Kutay
    Weight, vibration, fatigue, and critical speed limitations have been recognized as serious problems in drive shafts in automotive industry for many years. Conventional drive shaft is made up into two parts to increase its fundamental natural bending frequency. This present work deals with the replacement of conventional steel drive shaft with a composite counterparts. The benefits of eliminating the two piece shafts are significant reductions in weight, noise, vibration and harshness. In this work, one-piece propeller shaft composed of carbon/epoxy and glass/epoxy composites have been designed and manufactured for a rear wheel drive automobile. The performance measures are static torque transmission capability, torsional buckling and the fundamental natural bending frequency. The tubular composite shaft samples are being manufactured by using filament winding technique. To predict the torsional properties, fatigue life and failure modes of composite tubes for different fiber orientation angle and stacking sequence, finite element analysis (FEA) has been used. The predicted and experimental values has been reported for comparison. The next phase of work consists of optimization of shaft for the objective function as weight and fundamental natural frequency considering different stacking sequence and fiber orientation. © CCM 2020 - 18th European Conference on Composite Materials.

    Mechanical Properties of Hydroxyapatite Composites Reinforced With Hydroxyapatite Whiskers
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2004) Şimşek, Deniz; Çiftçioğlu, Rukiye; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Harsa, Hayriye Şebnem
    Sintering and mechanical behavior of pure and hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced HA composites were investigated in this work. Pure and composite samples were prepared by using a commercial powder and whiskers prepared by molten salt synthesis. The dry-pressed samples were sintered in the 800 and 1300°C range. The effect of whisker-addition on the mechanical properties of HA was investigated through compression and hardness testing. Compressive strength and fracture strain were observed to increase by the addition of whiskers.
