    Effect of pH and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces
    (2006) Polat, Mehmet; Sato, Kimiyasu; Nagaoka, Takaaki; Watari, Koji
    Normal 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.

    Pomza ve Nsdd-pomza ile Sabit Yataklı Kolon Reaktörde Metilen Mavisi Giderimi: Deneysel ve Modelleme Çalışması
    (2019) Balcı, Esin; Ökten, Hatice Eser; Genişoğlu, Mesut; Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur
    Nano sıfır değerlikli demir (nSDD) yüksek renk konsantrasyonlarına sahip tekstil atıksularının arıtımında ekonomik ve çevre dostu bir adsorban olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak nSDD partikülleri sulu çözeltilerde elektrostatik etkileşimler sebebiyle kolayca topaklaşmakta ve bu da arıtma veriminin düşmesine neden olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla düşük maliyetli, doğal poröz yapıda ve ortalama 2m2/gr spesifik yüzey alanına sahip pomza, nSDD topaklaşmasını önleyici bir malzeme olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada sadece pomza ve pomzanSDD (ağırlıkça 9:1) karışımının kullanıldığı kolon reaktörde 25, 50, 75 ve 100 mg/L metilen mavisi konsantrasyonları için arıtma verimleri incelenmiştir. Pomzanın ve pomza-nSDD karışımının 100 mg/L metilen mavisi deneyindeki toplam kapasiteleri sırasıyla 2,8 ve 4,2 mg/g-adsorban olarak bulunmuştur. Özellikle düşük konsantrasyonlarda, pomza-nSDD karışımının arıtma performansını önemli ölçüde arttırdığı görülmüştür. Thomas modeli deneysel verilere uygulanmış ve modelin öngörü gücünün düşük konsantrasyonda yüksekken, yüksek konsantrasyonlarda ortalama olduğu kanısına varılmıştır.

    A Study on Absorption and Reflection of Infrared Light by the Uncoated and Al Coated Surfaces of Polymer Films Techniques
    (Apple Academic Press, 2014) Arkış, Esen; Balköse, Devrim
    Polymer films coated with a thin layer of aluminum or aluminum oxide are extensively used in food packing as heat shields. The infrared rays were not transmitted through the films and were reflected protecting the contents from the harmful effects of infrared light. The quantitative measurement of the film thickness and infrared light reflection and absorption capacities of aluminum coated films used as packing materials were possible using infrared spectroscopy. © 2015 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.

    Calcium Soap Lubricants
    (CRC Press, 2015) İzer, Alaz; Kahyaoğlu, Tuğçe Nefise; Balköse, Devrim
    The reparation and characterization of calcium stearate (CaSt2) and a lubricant by using calcium stearate were aimed at in this study. Calcium stearate powder was prepared from sodium stearate and calcium chloride by precipitation from aqueous solutions. CaSt2 and the Light Neutral Base oil were mixed together to obtain lubricating oil. It was found that CaSt2 had a melting temperature of 142.8 °C and in base oil it had a lower melting point, above 128 °C. It was dispersed as lamellar micelles as the optical micrographs had shown. From rate of settling the size of dispersed particles were found to be 1.88 µm and 0.11 µm for lubricants having 1% and 2% CaSt2, respectively. The friction coefficient and wear scar diameter of base oil 0.099 and 1402 nm were reduced to 0.0730 and 627.61 nm respectively for the lubricant having 1% CaSt2. Lower wear scar diameter (540 nm) was obtained for lubricant with 2% CaSt2. CaSt2 improved the lubricating property of the base oil but did not improve its oxidative and thermal stability. © 2015 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.

    Nanolifli yapıda, sinir büyüme faktörü yüklü mikro küreleri içeren jalatin bazlı doku iskelelerinin hazırlanması ve karakterizasyonu

    In living organisms most of the tissues have the capability of regeneration; on the other hand, this situation is different in mammalian adult neural cells since they loose their ability of proliferation. Compared to peripheral nervous system, central nervous system has restricted regeneration capability which results in trauma, stroke and neuropathology etc. The first studies for the regeneration of nervous system concentrated on the use of autographs, tissue transplanted from one part of the body to another in the same individual, but it has limitations including short-age. Another type of investigation was allograft, which is transplantation of cells isolated from cadavers to the patient, but this approach is also not suitable because of host immune rejection. A new hope to cure neurodegenerative diseases appeared with biomaterials and tissue engineering studies. In this study, it is aimed to develop a novel, nanofibrous scaffolds with the capability of controlled releasing neural growth factor loaded in microspheres. Nanofibrous and oriented scaffolds were prepared from gelatin by a combination of thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), porogen-leaching and molding techniques while alginate microspheres were produced in oil in water emulsion through cross linking of alginate with calcium ions. The bioactivity of the growth factor released from microspheres was determined using PC12 cell line, derived from rat adrenal medulla and differentiate when treated with nerve growth factor. The scaffolds including connected pores with a high porosity, nanofibrous structure which mimic the extracellular matrix and properties similar to natural brain tissure were produced. Compared to solid walled scaffolds, nanofibrous scaffolds allow attachment of cells without any change in their morphologies. Model protein Į-chemotripsin and bovin serum albumin used for protecting the activity of nerve growth factor were loaded in alginate microspheres with an encapsulation efficiency of 100 %. It was found that NGF loaded into microspheres can maintain its activity and it can even differentiate PC-12 cells in a shorter time compared to NGF directly added into cell culture medium.

    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016) Yüksel, Aslı
    Bu makalede selülozu değerli kimyasallara, özellikle levulinik asite, parçalamak amacı ile suyun kaynama noktası üzerinde ve kritik noktası altında (374. 15 °C ve 22.1 MPa) çalışılan sıcak-basınçlı su, reaksiyon ortamı olarak kullanılmıştır. Reaksiyon sıcaklığı, basıncı, süresi, oksitleme ajanı çeşidi ve miktarının selülozun parçalanmasına ve ürün dağılımına olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Selüloz bozunma yüzdesi ve levulinik asit oluşum verimini kıyaslamak amacı ile deneyler hem oksitleme ajanı (H2SO ve H2O) kullanarak, hem de kullanmayarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Farklı sıcaklık (150 - 280 °C), basınç (5-64 bar) ve tepkime sürelerinde (30 - 120 dk.) oluşan likit ürünlerin analizleri HPLC ve GC-MS ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ana sıvı ürünler olarak levulinik asit, 5-HMF ve formik asit tespit edilmiştir. 125 mM sülfürik asit eklenerek 200 °C sıcaklıkta ve 60 dk boyunca gerçekleştirilen tepkime sonucunda, %73 selüloz bozunmuş ve %38 verimle levulinik asit elde edilmiştir.

    Effect of Some Physical, and Chemical Variables on Flocculation and Sediment Behaviour
    (A.A. Balkema Publishers, 2000) Polat, Hürriyet; Polat, Mehmet; İpekoğlu, Üner
    Effect of some chemical and physical variables on the settling rate, final sediment height, sediment viscosity and supernatant turbidity of a clay sample was studied using various polyacrylamide type flocculants. Increasing flocculant concentration significantly increased both the settling rate and sediment viscosity. More importantly, changes in the final sediment, height, hence the packing density, was minimal for all the conditions tested once the sediment was allowed to consolidate. Also, the mode of addition of the polymer, at once or continuous, did not seem to affect any of the parameters measured. Conditioning time seemed to alter the settling rate at low polymer concentrations, but had no effect at high polymer concentrations. However, increasing the conditioning time caused a decrease in the sediment viscosity. Different types of the polyacrylimides generated different settling rates at a given concentration, but the final sediment height was nearly independent of polymer type.
