    Microstructural Development of Interface Layers Between Co-Sintered Alumina and Spinel Compacts
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Yalamaç, Emre; Carry, Claude; Akkurt, Sedat
    Tests were performed to investigate the microstructure of the interface between alumina and spinel materials after high temperature thermal treatment (1500°C). The first test involved co-sintering of co-pressed alumina and spinel compacts. Microstructures were investigated by SEM, EDS, WDS and EBSD. A microstructurally distinct layer with columnar grains of up to 40μm length and 5μm width was observed after 16h at 1500°C. Growth rate of the columnar spinel grains from parent spinel towards alumina follows parabolic kinetics, controlled by a mixed process of O2- ion diffusion and interface reaction. Diffusion couples of spinel and alumina were investigated. Same columnar spinel grains were observed at the interface which grew into alumina during thermal treatment with the same kinetics as in co-sintering experiments. The shape of the phase boundaries between spinel and alumina can be a further indication of the direction of their growth.

    Dispersion of Organophilic Ag Nanoparticles in Ps-Pmma Blends
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Tüzüner, Şeyda; Demir, Mustafa Muammer.
    Abstract The preparation of stable composites with well-controlled particle location is one of the challenges in formulating new polymer/nanoparticle mixtures. In this study, cetyltriammonium bromide (CTAB)-capped monodisperse Ag nanoparticles were prepared and mixed with an equimass blend of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in solution. The surface of the blend film without nanoparticles showed spherical pits with a size of 4.5 μm in diameter. The integration of CTAB-capped nanoparticles into the blend film developed surface bumps with a size of 0.4 μm in diameter. The organophilic Ag nanoparticles were distributed heterogeneously in the immiscible PS-PMMA blend. When the diameter of particle domains reached approximately 20 nm, particles were preferentially located at the interface of the PS and PMMA domains. Larger particle domains with a diameter of 90 nm were found to be in the PMMA-rich phase. Isothermal post-treatment of the PS-PMMA/Ag composite films directs the particle domains into PS domains. Thermodynamic factors that contribute to the observed morphologies are discussed.
