    Pmma/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites Prepared by In-Situ Bulk Polymerization
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Castignolles, Patrice; Wegner, Gerhard; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Dispersing surface-modified zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnO) in methyl methacrylate (MMA) improves the free radical bulk polymerization process as well as the thermal stability of the formed polymer. Hydroxy groups available on the ZnO surface may induce a degenerative transfer. This suppresses the gel effect, which leads to a better control of the heat evolution during the late stages of polymerization. The formation of chains having vinylidene end groups and head-to-head links is suppressed, which shifts the onset of thermal decomposition to the regime where decomposition occurs by random chain scission.

    Sic-Particulate Aluminum Composite Foams Produced by Powder Compacts: Foaming and Compression Behavior
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Elbir, Semih; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Güden, Mustafa; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.; Yılmaz, Selahattin; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The foaming behavior of SiC-particulate (8.6% by volume) aluminum composite powder compacts contained Titanium Hydride blowing agent was investigated by heating above the melting temperature (750°C) in a pre-heated furnace. Aluminum powder compacts were also prepared and foamed using similar compaction and foaming parameters in order to determine the effect of SiC-particulate addition on foaming and compression behavior. The linear expansions of the compacts at various furnace holding times were ex situ determined. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to characterize prepared and deformed foams microstructures. The SiC-particulate addition was found to increase the linear expansion and reduce the extent of the liquid metal drainage and cell coarsening of the aluminum compacts. The composite foam samples also showed higher compressive stresses, but a more brittle behavior as compared with aluminum foams.
