Conference Object Citation - WoS: 24Effect of pH and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces(2006) Polat, Mehmet; Sato, Kimiyasu; Nagaoka, Takaaki; Watari, Koji; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 03.02. Department of Chemical EngineeringNormal and lateral interaction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using Atomic Force Microscopy-Colloid Probe Method at different pH. The normal force curves exhibit a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum at acidic pH and the DLVO theory shows excellent agreement with the data. The normal forces are always repulsive at basic pH and the theory fails to represent the measurements. Lateral forces are almost an order of magnitude smaller in the basic solutions. These differences, which have important implications in the study of stability and rheology, are attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface at basic pH. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Hydrogen Production From Sugar Beet Wastewater in the Presence of Perovskite Type Catalysts by Photocatalysis(Amer Chemical Soc, 2019) Yüksel Özşen, Aslı; Orak, Ceren; 01.

Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyNano-sized nickel borate hydrate were precipitated from equimolar mixtures of dilute nickel nitrate and borax solutions at 25°C. Produced nickel borate samples were characterized by TGA, DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM, Elemental Analysis (EDX), Titration (nickel determination by EDTA, B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> determination by NaOH), Particle Size Distribution, and Dehydration. The particles with 55 nm, 80 nm and 70 nm sizes were obtained for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000 in the reaction mixture respectively. The empirical formula of the vacuum dried precipitates were NiO.1.3B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O, NiO.1.2B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.6 H<inf>2</inf>O and NiO.1.0B<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>.5.4 H<inf>2</inf>O for the cases without template, with span 60 and PEG 4000. The density of the nickel borate hydrates was around 2 g/ml and they had a color described by 157, 199 and 158 in RGB color scale. The nickel borate hydrates were amorphous in structure and no sharp peaks related to a crystal structure was present in their x-ray diffraction diagram. The effect of presence of span 60 and PEG 4000 were not significant on the particle size and chemical composition of the nanoparticles. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Citation - Scopus: 5Aluminium-Coated Polymer Films as Infrared Light Shields for Food Packing(Apple Academic Press, 2014) Hamrang, Abbas; Balköse, Devrim; Balköse, Devrim; Arkış, Esen; 03.02.

Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyLubricants consist of base oils and chemical additives such as dispersants, surfactants, oxidation inhibitors, and antiwear agents. Organic and inorganic boron-based additives increase wear resistance and decreases friction. Hexagonal boron nitride and metal borates are used for this purpose. Zinc borate is a synthetic hydrated metal borate. The production techniques of zinc borate generally include the reaction between zinc source materials (zinc oxide, zinc salts, zinc hydroxide) and the boron source materials (boric acid and borax). The nano zinc borate particles were prepared from zinc nitrate and borax in the present study by using low initial zinc and borate concentrations and low temperature to prevent particle growth. The templates span 60 and PEG 4000 were used to control the particle size. The particles were separated from mother liquor by centrifugation, washed with ethanol, dried and ground and used as additive to base oil. The particles have H2O and B(3)-O vibrations in their FTIR spectra. The empirical formula of the nanoparticles was approximately 3ZnO.2B2O3.4H2O from EDX and TGA analysis. X-ray diffraction diagram indicated the particles were in amorphous state. When the nanoparticles were added to light neutral oil the wear scar diameter and friction coefficient was lowered 50% and 20% respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 35Sustainable Bio-Nano Composite Coatings for the Protection of Marble Surfaces(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2015) Ocak, Y.; Sofuoglu, A.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Böke, H.; Sofuoğlu, Aysun; Böke, Hasan; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of ArchitectureWater repellency on natural stone surfaces is the most important issue in the protection of stone monuments from effects of atmospheric pollutants. In this study, effectiveness of a bio-nano composite coating, composed of a biodegradable polymer (poly-L-lactide [PLA]) and montmorillonite clay (MMT) was investigated for the protection of marble surfaces from pollution. The clay dispersion in polymer matrices was analyzed by using Scanning Tunnel Electron Microscopy (STEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), while protection performance was investigated by the measurement of surface roughness, wettability, water vapor permeability, capillary water absorption, and color changes on the marble surfaces. As a result, no alteration on the color of coated marbles was observed, significant improvement was obtained for hydrophobicity of the surface and inhibition of sulfation reaction on the exposed marble surfaces under acidic atmosphere. It could be said that PLA based nanocomposites seem to be promising materials as protective coating agents in reducing the effects of water and atmospheric pollutants on marble surfaces. © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 40Olive Leaf Extract as a Crosslinking Agent for the Preparation of Electrospun Zein Fibers(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015) Erdogan, I.; Demir, M.; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Erdoğan, İpek; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIncorporating active agents, reinforcing structure by crosslinking, thus changing release properties, can be listed as possible modifications in preparation methods of biopolymer fibers. This study introduces oleuropein, major component of olive leaf extract (OLE), as a natural functional crosslinker for electrospun zein fibers, owing to its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Incorporation of OLE causes morphological and structural changes indicated by a decrease in fiber diameter up to 27%, an increase in intensity of NH bending region due to interaction with -OH groups and observation of characteristic oleuropein bands. Extract addition also enhances thermal stability. Zein fibers without OLE is fully degraded at 600C, whereas 10% of OLE loaded zein fibers is left undegraded. Fifty percent of initial phenolic content loaded into fibers is released which indicate the effect of OLE incorporation as accumulation of oleuropein. OLE-incorporated fibers immersed in PBS are less fused than pure zein fibers, due to the crosslinking effect. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 29Effect of Ph and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Polat, M.; Polat, Mustafa; Polat, Mehmet; Watari, K.; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyInteraction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using an AFM-colloid probe method at different pHs. For an α-alumina-sapphire system at acidic pH, the force curve exhibited a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum. At basic pH, the interactive force was repulsive at all separations with no primary minimum. Lateral force measurements under the same conditions showed that frictional forces were nearly an order of magnitude smaller at basic pH than those observed at acidic pH. This behavior was attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface. Normal and lateral force measurements with the strongly hydrated ρ-alumina surfaces supported these findings. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
