    Cure Kinetics of Epoxy Resin-Natural Zeolite Composites
    (Springer Verlag, 2008) Cansever Erdoğan, Beyhan; Seyhan, Abdullah Tuğrul; Ocak, Yılmaz; Tanoğlu, Metin; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, Semra
    The cure kinetics of epoxy resin and epoxy resin containing 10 mass% of natural zeolite were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The conformity of the cure kinetic data of epoxy and epoxy-zeolite system was checked with the auto-catalytic cure rate model. The results indicated that the hydroxyl group on the zeolite surface played a significant role in the autocatalytic reaction mechanism. This group was able to form a new transition state between anhydride hardener and epoxide group. The natural zeolite particles acted as catalyst for the epoxy system by promoting its curing rate.

    Chemical Characterization of Cretan Clays for the Design of Restoration Mortars
    (Springer Verlag, 2008) Budak, Meral; Maravelaki-Kalaitzaki, Pagona; Kallithrakas-Kontos, Nikolaos
    Three clays and a marly-limestone from the West of Chania, Crete, fired at temperatures ranging from 200 to 1200°C, were characterized by XRD, FTIR, EDXRF and wet chemical analyses. The aim of this study was to assess the pozzolanic and hydraulic properties of these materials for potential use as binders in the design of restoration mortars. The mineralogical composition of the clays is quartz, illite, calcite, plagioclase, kaolinite and hematite. The identification of larnite and gehlenite in the calcined marly-limestone established it as potential cementious binder. Among the clays, one with low amount of calcite and considerable kaolinite content exhibited the best pozzolanic activity upon heating at 600°C. Therefore, it can be considered as an appropriate material for restoration purposes. It is deduced that the pozzolanic activity of fired clays is greatly dependent on the firing temperature and is enhanced in clays containing low calcite and high kaolinite amounts. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.

    Sic-Particulate Aluminum Composite Foams Produced by Powder Compacts: Foaming and Compression Behavior
    (Springer Verlag, 2003) Elbir, Semih; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    The foaming behavior of SiC-particulate (8.6% by volume) aluminum composite powder compacts contained Titanium Hydride blowing agent was investigated by heating above the melting temperature (750°C) in a pre-heated furnace. Aluminum powder compacts were also prepared and foamed using similar compaction and foaming parameters in order to determine the effect of SiC-particulate addition on foaming and compression behavior. The linear expansions of the compacts at various furnace holding times were ex situ determined. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to characterize prepared and deformed foams microstructures. The SiC-particulate addition was found to increase the linear expansion and reduce the extent of the liquid metal drainage and cell coarsening of the aluminum compacts. The composite foam samples also showed higher compressive stresses, but a more brittle behavior as compared with aluminum foams.
