Book Part Water Sorption of Polyvinyl Chloride-Luffa Cylindrica Composites(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Demir, Hasan; Balköse, DevrimNatural Luffa Cylindrica fibers were modified with 0.1M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for removing lignin and hemicellulose. Natural and modified Luffa fibers were characterized by using IR spectroscopy. Composites were produced with PVC plastisol and natural Luffa fiber. Natural Luffa fiber is a highly hydrophilic substance. This feature increased the water sorption capacity of the composites. Flexible PVC-luffa cylindrica composites had higher liquid water sorption capacity (0.3-0.6%) compared to that of flexible PVC (0.1%). There was no volume change of composites due to liquid water sorption.Book Part Control of the Particle Size and Purity of Nano Zinc Oxide(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Özmıhçı Ömürlü, Filiz; Balköse, DevrimEffects of template, mechanical mixing and/or ultrasound mixing on the size of the ZnO crystals obtained by precipitation at 30 °C from aqueous zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide solutions were investigated by 2k factorial design. Precipitation method is employed to synthesize nano zinc oxide particles. Monodisperse nano ZnO having 29 nm particle size was produced by adding triethyl amine and applying simultaneously mechanical and ultrasound mixing. The surface area and the density of the powder were 21 m2/g and 4.8 g/cm3. It contains 5.2% impurities present as CO3-2 and bound OH- groups. Volumetric resistivity was found as 1.3 × 107ohm cm. Absorption spectrum of the powder showed absorption peak at 353 nm. The room temperature fluorescence spectrum of the powder revealed a strong and sharp UV emission band at 391 nm due to free exciton or bound exciton of ZnO and a weak and broad violet emission band at 405 nm due to zinc vacancies.
