Yayın Films formed from polystyrene latex/clay composites: A fluorescence study(Springer New York, 2005-07) Uğur, Şaziye; Alemdar, Ayşe; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis study reports a steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique for studying film formation from surractant-free polystyrene (PS) latex and Na-montmorillonite (SNaM) composites. The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles and SNaM clay at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures in 10-min intervals above glass transition temperature (T-g) of polystyrene. During the annealing processes, the transparency of the fllm improved considerably. Scattered light (I-s) and fluorescence intensity (I-s) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of composite films was monitored by using photon transmission intensity, I-tr Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect the variation in physical structure of annealed composite-films. Minimum flIm formation temperature, T-o, and healing temperatures, T-h, were determined. Void closure and interdiff-usion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined. It was observed that both activation energies increased as the percent of SNaM was increased in composite films.Yayın The effect of clay particles on film formation from polystyrene latex(Wiley, 2006-06) Uğur, Şaziye; Alemdar, Ayşe; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex was performed in the presence of 5% Na-montmorillonite (NaMMT). The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures above the glass-transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Scattered light (I-s) and fluorescence intensity (I-p) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of composite film formation. Minimum film formation temperature, T-o, and healing temperatures, T-h, were determined. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were measured. From these results, it was found that the presence of NaMMT in the PS latex film only affects the minimum film formation, but does not affect the void closure and backbone motion activities.
