Article Analyzing the Surface Properties of Acrylic-Based Water-Soluble Polymers(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Topaloğlu Yazıcı, Demet; Çetinkaya, Hayrullah; Şölener, Musa; Albayrak, AdileThe surface properties of newly synthesized N-methoxy isopropyl acrylamide, N-methoxy isopropyl methacrylamide, cyclo propyl acrylamide, and cyclo propyl methacrylamide polymers were investigated using inverse gas chromatography. The highest dispersive component of the surface energy value was obtained for cyclo propyl methacrylamide at 30°C. The values obtained for all polymers were decreasing with the increasing temperature. The values obtained for the acidic and the basic parameters revealed strong basic characters for the surface of N-methoxy isopropyl methacrylamide and cyclo propyl methacrylamide polymers and weak basic characters for the surface of N-methoxy isopropyl acrylamide and cyclo propyl acrylamide polymers.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Evaluation of Boron Industrial Solid Waste in Composite Materials(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Topaloğlu Yazıcı, Demet; Çetinkaya, HayrullahBoron industrial solid waste is used as reinforcement for preparing composite materials. This waste has boron trioxide which holds unique properties may affect the surface or interface of the composite. The prepared composites are characterized in order to determine the dispersion and the structure by means of inverse gas chromatography (IGC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). There is a strong relation between the dispersion of reinforcement and the properties of newly formed composite. The dispersive component of the surface energies of the composites and components are determined by IGC. This parameter is difficult to measure by other methods and it is related to the wettability and adhesive characters of solid materials. The effect of compounding ratios of reinforcement is also examined. Furthermore, XRD diffractograms and SEM images of composites showed well dispersion. Thermal analysis revealed that the addition of the boron industrial solid waste to the polymer increased the thermal stability of pure polymer. Infrared spectra of the composites indicated that the composites were formed from the waste reinforcement and the polymer matrix.Article Citation - WoS: 73Citation - Scopus: 77Zinc Oxide and Zinc Hydroxide Formation Via Aqueous Precipitation: Effect of the Preparation Route and Lysozyme Addition(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Top, Ayben; Çetinkaya, HayrullahAqueous precipitation products of Zn(NO3)2 and NaOH obtained by changing the method of combining the reactants and by using lysozyme as an additive were investigated. In the case of single addition method, octahedral ε-Zn(OH)2 and plate-like β-Zn(OH)2 structures formed in the absence and in the presence of lysozyme, respectively. Calcination of these Zn(OH)2 samples at 700 °C yielded porous ZnO structures by conserving the template crystals. When zinc source was added dropwise into NaOH solution, predominantly clover-like ZnO crystals were obtained independent of lysozyme addition. Mixed spherical and elongated ZnO morphology was observed when NaOH was added dropwise into Zn(NO3)2 solution containing lysozyme. Lysozyme contents of the precipitation products were estimated as in the range of ∼5-20% and FTIR indicated no significant conformational change of lysozyme in the composite. These results suggest that lysozyme-ZnO/Zn(OH)2 composite materials may have a value as an antibacterial material.
