Yayın Reversible film formation from PS doped PNIPAM particles in various compositions(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-02) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from polystyrene (PS) doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles was studied using photon transmission technique. The transmitted light intensity, Itr, was monitored during film formation process. Films were prepared by mixing PS and PNIPAM particles in various compositions ranging from 5 to 50 %. Samples were separately heated and cooled in constant rate at temperatures ranging from 10 to 100 C. The increase and decrease in Itr during heating-cooling cycles were explained by void closure and void reconstruction processes. The corresponding activation energies were measured during the reversible film formation process. Percolation model was used to interpret the distribution of PS particles in PNIPAM lattice.Yayın Poly (styrene) latex/modified na-activated bentonite nanocomposite films: a fluorescence study(Elsevier Science BV, 2008-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Günister, Ebru; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderWe studied film formation of composites of surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles and modified Na-activated bentonite (MLB), by steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique. The films were prepared from a mixture of pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles and MLB at various compositions at room temperature. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures above the glass transition (T(g)) temperature of polystyrene for 10 min. Scattered light (I(S)) and fluorescence intensities (I(P)) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of the composite films was monitored by using photon transmission intensity, I(tr) Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to detect the variation in physical structure of annealed composite films. The nanocomposite films exhibited a percolation threshold at 20 wt.% MLB content. Below this fraction two distinct film formation stages were observed which are known as void closure and interdiffusion and above this fraction no film formation was detected. At 0-20 wt.% MLB, minimum film formation, T(0), void closure, T(v) and healing, T(h) temperatures were determined. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined. Void closure activation energies decreased as the percent of MLB increased, no variation was observed in backbone activation energies.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.Yayın Reversible film formation from nano-sized PNIPAM particles below glass transition(Springer-Verlag, 2007-01) Uğur, Şaziye; Elaissari, Abdelhamid; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderReversible film formation process from nano-sized Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgel particles were studied during heating-cooling cycles at various rates. Photon transmission technique was used and transmitted photon intensity I (tr) was monitored during heating-cooling cycles. The increase and decrease in I (tr) during heating and cooling was explained with the void closure and void reconstruction processes, and the corresponding activation energies were measured. It was observed that PNIPAM microgels required less energy during reconstruction of voids than their closure.
