Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Impact of Simulated Inflammation and Food Breakdown on the Synergistic Interaction Between Corrosion and Wear on Titanium(Elsevier, 2024) Lima, A.R.; Pinto, A.M.P.; Toptan, F.; Alves, A.C.This paper investigates the impact of lactic acid and phosphoric acid additives in artificial saliva (AS), simulating inflammation and food breakdown, on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behavior of titanium. The results showed that, unlike lactic acid, phosphoric acid significantly reduced corrosion resistance, mainly due to local damage and heterogeneities on the passive film. Non-additivated AS caused greater wear volume loss, with mechanical wear identified as the main mechanism. However, when additives were present, a synergistic interplay between corrosion and wear was observed. The study concludes that prolonged exposure to food breakdown could accelerate material degradation in titanium. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle A Study on Recyclability of Alsi7mg0.3 Machining Waste(2023) Gökelma, Mertol; Önen Tüzgel, Rabia; Kaya, Ahmet Yiğit; Özaydın, OnurAluminium products are widely used in the automotive industry. One of the important aluminium products in the automotive is wheel production. Turkish wheel production is expected to reach 360000 tons in 2025. The wheels are produced by Low-Pressure Die Casting at the first stage and the machining process in CNC machines is used to create the final form. A significant amount of machining waste (swarf, turnings, and chips) is created during the machining and the importance of secondary aluminium has been increasing due to environmental and economic concerns. This study focuses on the recycling of AlSi7Mg0.3 cast alloy machining waste. The turnings were sorted into two size fractions and remelted separately under a salt flux in a resistance heating furnace. Two different salt mixtures with different melting points and different salt factors were studied in this work. Metal yield and coagulation yield after remelting were discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 2The Effect of the Temperature of Heat Treatment Process and the Concentration and Duration of Acid Leaching on the Size and Crystallinity of Nano-Silica Powders Formed by the Dissociation of Natural Diatom Frustule(American Scientific Publishers, 2022) Ülker, Sevkan; Güden, MustafaThe present study focused on the processing of nano-silica powders in varying sizes and crystallinities through IP: 846247.10 On: Wed, 14 Dec 2022 07:29:25 heat treatment (900-1200 degrees C), hydrofluoric acid leaching (1-7 N), and ball milling (1 h, 500 rpm) of natural Copyright American Scentfic P blishers diatom frustules. The starting natural frustules were determined to be composed of amorphous silica (88%) Delivered by Ingenta and quartz. The partially ordered crystalline low-quartz and or precursor to low-cristobalite started to form at-900 degrees C. As the heat treatment temperature increased, the crystallinity of the frustules increased from 9.3% at 25 degrees C to 46% at 1200 degrees C. Applying a ball milling reduced the mean particle sizes of the as-received and heat-treated frustules from 15.6-13.7 mu m to 7.2-6.7 mu m, respectively. Acid leaching of the as-received and heat-treated frustules resulted in a further increase in the crystallinity. Furthermore, a ball milling applied after an acid leaching was very effective in reducing the particle size of the as-received and heat-treated frustules. The mean particle size of the acid-leached frustules decreased to 774-547 nm with a crystallinity varying between 12 and 48% after ball milling. A partially dissolved amorphous phase was observed in between crystalline silica grains after acid leaching, which resulted in a rapid fracture/separation of the frustules in ball milling.Article Ferroelectricity of Ca9fe(po4)7 and Ca9mn(po4)7 Ceramics With Polar Whitlockite-Type Crystal Structure(Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, 2020) Adem, UmutCa9Fe(PO4)7 is a member of the double phosphate family having polar whitlockite-type crystal structure. The phase transition from the room temperature polar R3c to the high temperature non-polar R c phase has been called a ferroelectric phase transition using complementary experiments such as temperature dependent second harmonic generation and dielectric constant measurements however no ferroelectric hysteresis measurement has been reported. In order to be able to call these polar materials ferroelectric, measurement of a saturated ferroelectric hysteresis loop is necessary to demonstrate that the electrical polarization of these materials is switchable. In order to realize this goal, we have synthesized Ca9Fe(PO4)7 as well as structurally identical Ca9Mn(PO4)7 using solid state synthesis. Crystal structure of the ceramics were confirmed using Rietveld refinement of the x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements revealed phase transition temperatures of 848 and 860 K for Ca9Fe(PO4)7 and Ca9Mn(PO4)7, respectively. Our ferroelectric hysteresis measurements and current electric field loops (I-E) derived from the hysteresis loops showed that the loops cannot be saturated and the direction of the electrical polarization of both materials cannot be switched up to the largest applied electric field of 100 kV/cm. Possible origins of this behaviour are discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 7Understanding the Impact of Sri2 Additive on the Properties of Sn-Based Halide Perovskites(Elsevier, 2022) Yüce, Hürriyet; Perini, Carlo A. R.; Hidalgo, Juanita; Castro-Mendez, Andres-Felipe; Evans, Caria; Demir, Mustafa MuammerOrganic-inorganic halide perovskites have been identified as favorable candidates for the next generation of photovoltaics. Adding alkali metal halides to perovskite films has been shown to be a viable option to improve the perovskite film quality and to modulate their fundamental properties. In this work, we perform optical and electron-beam based characterizations of mixed Sn/Pb based perovskite films to investigate the effect of the addition of the alkaline metal halide SrI2. By analyzing structural (X-ray diffraction), morphological (Scanning Electron Microscopy), optical (photoluminescence), and chemical properties (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), we show a complex interplay of effects upon addition of Sr2+ into the perovskite solution. Low concentrations of Sr2+ increases lattice strain, which hints at incorporation of the additive into the perovskite lattice and improves the film optoelectronic properties. As the additive concentration increases beyond 0.5 mol %, microstrain decreases. At concentrations >0.5 mol %, Sr2+ induces significant reduction of the average domain size, which impacts both structural and optical properties of the perovskite film.Patent Bir fosfor dönüşümlü beyaz led paketi(Türk Patent ve Marka Kurumu, 2020)Bu buluş bir fosfor dönüşümlü beyaz LED paketi ile, özellikle fosfor kullanım miktarını azaltmayı ve ışık rengi sıcaklığının ayarlanmasını sağlayan cam küre formunda optik elemanlar içeren bir fosfor dönüşümlü beyaz LED paketi ile ilgilidir.Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 64Electrospun Gelma Fibers and P(hema) Matrix Composite for Corneal Tissue Engineering(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Arıca, Tuğçe A.; Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Yıldız, Ahu Arslan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerThe development of biocompatible and transparent three-dimensional materials is desirable for corneal tissue engineering. Inspired from the cornea structure, gelatin methacryloyl-poly(2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate) (GelMA-p(HEMA)) composite hydrogel was fabricated. GelMA fibers were produced via electrospinning and covered with a thin layer of p(HEMA) in the presence of N,N?-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker by drop-casting. The structure of resulting GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was characterized by spectrophotometry, microscopy, and swelling studies. Biocompatibility and biological properties of the both p(HEMA) and GelMA-p(HEMA) composite have been investigated by 3D cell culture, red blood cell hemolysis, and protein adsorption studies (i.e., human serum albumin, human immunoglobulin and egg white lysozyme). The optical transmittance of the GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was found to be approximately 70% at 550 nm. The GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was biocompatible with tear fluid proteins and convenient for cell adhesion and growth. Thus, as prepared hydrogel composite may find extensive applications in future for the development of corneal tissue engineering as well as preparation of stroma of the corneal material. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
