Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Study of Chemical and Physical Changes During Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film Production(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2003) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Arkış, Esen; Sipahioğlu, MuzafferPolypropylene films obtained during the biaxial orientation process were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy. Inorganic particles with Al, Si, Na, Mg, Ti, K,O elements were present in biaxially oriented films. Polypropylene had molecules with both isotactic configuration and it was crystallized only in isotactic α phase. The films drawn in one and two directions had unit cells with b axis parallel to surface of the films. The antioxidants present in the films were consumed during processing, preventing polypropylene oxidation in air at high processing temperatures. One surface of the films contained less polypropylene and had functional groups rich in oxygen such as C=O and COO.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 58Effect of Additives on Flexible Pvc Foam Formation(Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Demir, Hasan; Sipahioğlu, Muzaffer; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraIn this study, effects of Ca/Zn stearate and organotin heat stabilizers and zeolite, CaCO3, cellulose and luffa flours fillers, and their concentrations (2.5, 5, 10 and 20% by weight) on production of flexible PVC foams by chemical blowing agent, azodicarbonamide were investigated. Foam morphology, foam density, compressive mechanical properties and water uptake capacities of samples were determined. Morphology of the sample without any filler showed that employment of Ca stearate and Zn stearate heat stabilizers instead of organotin stabilizers increases foam formation and decreases pore sizes and regularity in pore size distribution. Foams having organotin stabilizer were more resistant to heat than the ones with Ca/Zn stearate for long heating periods. Foams, including organotin-based heat stabilizers, have compact structure. It was observed that, samples containing zeolite, CaCO3, cellulose or luffa flour had lower pore volume but higher Young's modulus and stress values compared to unfilled samples.
