Article Citation - WoS: 84Citation - Scopus: 85A Review on Halide Perovskites as Color Conversion Layers in White Light Emitting Diode Applications(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2018) Güner, Tuğrul; Demir, Mustafa MuammerIn the last decade, halide perovskites have attracted great interest due to many reasons, including their low cost, solution-processability, superior PL properties, broad range of color tunability, color purity, and defect tolerance, among others. They are in increasing demand for a wide range of applications, such as solar cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs), white LEDs (WLED), and lasers. Yellow phosphors have been heavily employed in solid-state lighting, since its illumination by blue yields white light with various optical features, such as high/low CRI, CCT, and luminous efficiency. However, phosphors as pigments are seldom found and are costly material. In this sense, halide perovskites may offer a promising alternative to phosphors for future solid-state lighting. In this study, the synthesis and optical properties of halide perovskites, as well as their application in WLED as a conversion layer are investigated.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 29Hydrophobic Coatings From Photochemically Prepared Hydrophilic Polymethacrylates Via Electrospraying(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Işık, Tuğba; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Aydoğan, Cansu; Çiftçi, Mustafa; Yağcı, YusufLinear poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(HEMA-co-MMA) and poly(dimehylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) P(DMAEMA-co-MMA) and their corresponding hyperbranched copolymers were synthesized by conventional photoinitiated free radical polymerization and self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) using Type I and Type II photoinitiators, respectively. Then, the polymers were processed by electrospraying in N, N-dimethylformamide. The surface of the resulting electrospray coatings was examined by SEM, XPS, and WCA then compared with those prepared by drop casting. Regardless of the structural nature of the polymers, electrospraying allows the preparation of rough surface that shows more hydrophobic behavior. Electrospray coatings with linear and hyperbranched copolymers exhibited WCA as ∼150° and ∼130°, respectively, indicating that branching reduces the WCA.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Utilization of Electrospun Polystyrene Membranes as a Preliminary Step for Rapid Diagnosis(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Işık, Tuğba; Horzum, Nesrin; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, Bo; Demir, Mustafa MuammerRecent advances in clinical practice drive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as an important class of biomarker. Monitoring the change in their concentration suggests the initiation and/or progression of various disorders. However, low quantity of DNA biomarkers in body fluids requires a delicate isolation methodology that provides efficient separation and easy handling. This study describes a newer-generation separation technology relying on electrospun fibers of sub-micrometer diameter of a commodity polymer for DNA biomarkers in simulative serum. Fibrous polystyrene membranes are prepared by electrospinning and they are subjected to post-modification with Au. The composite membranes may provide a convenient environment for the removal of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from BSA and DNA mixtures. The eluent can be used as an efficient tool for detection of DNA biomarkers associated with diagnosis of numerous life-threatening diseases.Article Citation - WoS: 42Citation - Scopus: 43Investigation of Oxygen Permeation Through Composites of Pmma and Surface-Modified Zno Nanoparticles(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2009) Hess, Sandra; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Yakutkin, Vladimir; Baluschev, Stanislav; Wegner, GerhardOxygen permeabilities of nanocomposite films consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and different amounts of spherical zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were determined to investigate the barrier effect of this material with respect to particle content. A method was applied which is based on quenching of an excited phosphorescent dye by oxygen. Possible effects of the nanoparticles on the response of the dye molecules were investigated and were ruled out.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 30Glycidyl-Methacry Late-Based Electrospun Mats and Catalytic Silver Nanoparticles(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2008) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Uğur, Gökçe; Gülgün, Mehmet A.; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Z.P(AN-GMA) and PGMA fibers coated with monodisperse silver nanoparticles have been prepared by a combination of electrospinning and electroless plating. The morphology of the electrospun fibers remains unchanged after surface hydrazination. Oxidation of hydrazine in an ammoniacal solution of AgNO 3 reduces and deposits silver atoms along the fiber surface, which then coalesce to Ag particles. The size of the silver nanoparticles is varied between 20-60 nm. Since the density of the active sites for silver reduction is lower in P(AN-GMA), a smaller particle size could be obtained. The catalytic activity of the silver nanoparticles has been confirmed.Article Citation - WoS: 185Pmma/Zinc Oxide Nanocomposites Prepared by In-Situ Bulk Polymerization(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Memesa, Mine; Castignolles, Patrice; Wegner, GerhardDispersing 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.Article Citation - WoS: 15Aggregation of Fillers Blended Into Random Elastomeric Networks: Theory and Comparison With Experiments(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Ziya; Erman, BurakA theoretical model describing aggregation of filler particles in amorphous elastomers is proposed. The model is based on a counting technique originally used in genome analysis to characterize the size and distribution of overlapping segments randomly placed on a DNA molecule. In the present model, the particles are first assumed to aggregate randomly upon mixing into the elastomer and then-sizes are calculated. The sizes and distributions of aggregates are also studied in the presence of attractive interparticle forces. Results of the proposed model are compared with experimental data on silica-filled end-linked poly(dimethyl-siloxane) networks. Comparison of the theory and experiment shows that the random aggregation assumption where no attractive forces exist between the particles is not valid and a significant attraction between the silica particles is needed in the theory to justify the experimental data obtained using atomic force microscopy. For filler content below 1.45 vol.-%, the model agrees, qualitatively, with experiment and shows the increase in cluster size with increasing amount of filler. It also explains the increase in the dispersion of aggregate sizes with increasing amount of filler.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rhodamine-Immobilised Electrospun Chitosan Nanofibrous Material as a Fluorescence Turn-On Hg2+ Sensor(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Horzum, Nesrin; Mete, Derya; Karakuş, Erman; Üçüncü, Muhammed; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Demir, Mustafa MuammerA turn-on fluorescence sensing system for mercuric (Hg2+) ions relying on a modified rhodamine B–chitosan fluorophore moiety was developed. This novel sensing approach relies on the simultaneous electrospinning of chitosan and rhodamine B hydrazide with phenylisothiocyanate functionality in hexafluoroisopropanol solution at 3.4 kV cm−1. The electrospun mats exhibited not only considerably enhanced fluorescence intensity in the presence of mercury ions, a result attributed to the ring opening of the spirolactam unit of the rhodamine-based fluorophore, but also a remarkably high sensitivity and selectivity toward Hg2+. In effect, the strategy has the potential to open new avenues in the design and development of other high-performance nanofibrous sensing materials for detecting target metal species of environmental interest.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 53Challenges in the Preparation of Optical Polymer Composites With Nanosized Pigment Particles: a Review on Recent Efforts(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2012) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Wegner, GerhardBlends of nanosized pigment particles and polymers are widely believed to offer the potential for the design of novel or at least improved materials. This review critically evaluates the recent literature with regard to the following issues: (a) why and how does the size of the particles matter, (b) what are the requirements to create compatibility between amorphous polymers and nanoparticles, (c) carbon allotropes as nanosized pigments, (d) bulk polymerization of monomer/pigment mixtures, (e) interaction of growing chains with the particles in the polymerization, (f) depletion flocculation as a mechanism to counteract homogeneous distribution of the particles in the polymer matrix and ways to suppress the undesirable flocculation, and (g) optical properties of the blends as well as methods of optical characterization.
