Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Water Vapour Adsorption on Organic and Inorganic Polymers(Springer Verlag, 2003) Balköse, Devrim; Özkan, Fehime; Ulutan, Sevgi; Ülkü, SemraWater vapour adsorption on polymers affects their processing behaviour and useful properties. Water vapour adsorption on organic polymers, silk, Nylon 6 fibres in undrawn and permanent set forms, polyester micro fibres, plasticised PVC films with 60 phr dioctylphthalate (OOP) and inorganic polymer sepiolite particles were investigated in this study. The materials were examined using the BET equation. The surface areas of silk, cast Nylon 6 and muss Nylon 6 were determined as 108, 46 and 23 m2 g-1, respectively. Sepiolite did not fit BET equation. Polyester and PVC adsorbed very small amounts of moisture.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15A Study of Adsorption of Water Vapour on Wool Under Static and Dynamic Conditions(Springer Verlag, 1998) Ülkü, Semra; Balköse, Devrim; Çağa, Tayfun; Özkan, Fehime; Ulutan, SevgiAdsorption of water vapour on wool provides not only textile comfort, but also convenience in transportation due to increase in its bulk density. The adsorption and desorption isotherms of water vapour for wool were determined by both volumetric technique using a Coulter Omnisorp 100CX instrument and gravimetric method employing a Cahn 2000 electronic microbalance. Adsorption isotherm fitting to B.E.T. model and hysteresis on desorption was observed. The average effective diffusion coefficient of water in wool was found to be 8.4 × 10-14 m2 s-1 at 25°C from gravimetric data. The effects of packing height and air velocity on the breakthrough curves were also investigated in the wool packed columns. For pseudo first order model, k values changing between 0.33 × 10-6 -69 × 10-6 s-1 was obtained for 2.2-6.4 cm s-1 air velocity and 0.05-0.20 m packing height ranges.
