Yayın Vapor-induced film formation from low-T-g particles for different solvent compositions(Elsevier Inc, 2006-05-15) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Saraç, Ayfer; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission method was used to study latex film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) particles induced by two different solvents. Films with the same latex content were prepared from PVAc particles and exposed to vapor of ethanol-water and acetone-water mixtures in various compositions. Transmitted photon intensities, I-tr, from these films increased with increasing vapor exposure time. The increase in I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the polymer-polymer junction. The Prager-Tirrell model was employed to obtain the back-and-forth frequency, v, of the reptating polymer chain during film formation induced by solvent vapor. It was observed that the produced v values increase as the solvent content is increased for both solvents. Abilities of both solvents to form films were interpreted with the solubility parameters of the solvents and the PVAc.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 Time evolution of film formation from polystyrene particles: a percolation approach(Springer, 2005-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports the film formation process from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex particles. Steady state fluorescence and photon transmission techniques were used to study the evolution of film formation. The films were prepared from fluorescein (F)-labeled PS latex particles at room temperature and annealed in 2.5-min-time intervals above the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PS. Fluorescence intensity (I-F) from F was measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of latex films was monitored by using the photon transmission intensity, I-tr. Drastic increase in I-tr and I-F above the critical annealing times t(r) and t(c) respectively, were attributed to the percolation behavior of the PS material. Critical exponents, beta, of percolation clusters were measured and found to be around 0.31 and 0.37 for Itr and IF measurement, respectively, which were attributed to the site percolation model.Yayın Percolation approach to film formation from surfactant-free polystyrene particles(Taylor & Francis, 2005-09) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderIn this study, a film formation process from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex particles is reported. Steady state fluorescence (SSF) and photon transmission (UVV) techniques were used to study the evolution of film formation. The latex films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles at room temperature and annealed at time intervals of 2.5 min above the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PS. During the annealing processes, the transparency of the film changed considerably. Fluorescence intensity (I-0P) from P was measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of latex films were monitored by using photon transmission intensity, I-tr. A drastic increase in I-tr and I-0P above the critical annealing times, t(r) and t(c) were attributed, respectively to percolation behavior of PS material from one side to the other side of the latex film. Critical exponents, beta of percolation clusters were measured and found to be around 0.35 and 0.25 for I-tr and I-0P measurements, respectively.Yayın Critical behavior of thermal phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution(Elsevier B.V., 2006-07-15) Özbek, Haluk; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderIn situ photon transmission method was applied to study thermal phase transitions of ?-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution. Coil-to-helix (c-h) and helix-to-dimer (h-d) transitions were detected upon cooling. An extra dimer-to-dimer (d-d) transition was observed as well during cooling at low-temperature region. Upon heating only dimer-to-helix (d-h) and helix-to-coil (h-c) transitions were detected. Photon transmission intensity, Itr was monitored against temperature to determine several phase transitions and transition temperatures. It was observed that the c-h transition in ?-carrageenan-CaCl2 system performs a crossover between 3D percolation to classical theory. Upon heating, the specific heat exponent over the d-h transition was extracted from the transmitted intensity data and was found to be 0.045.Yayın Film formation from nano-sized polystrene latex covered with various TiO2 layers(Wiley, 2006-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Sunay, Selin; Elaissari, Abdelhamid; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady-state fluorescence technique was used for studying film formation from TiO2 covered nano-sized polystyrene latex particles. The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles by covering them with various layers of TiO2 at room temperature. These films then annealed at elevated temperatures in 10 min time interval above glass transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Five different composite films were studied in various TiO2 layer contents. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-P from P was measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Films present significant increase in I-P above the certain onset temperature called minimum film forming temperature, To. However, at higher annealing temperatures, I-P showed a decrease. Increase and decrease in I-P were modeled by void closure and interdiffusion processes and related activation energies were determined, respectively. Dissolution of annealed PS film, with high TiO2 content presented a nice, ordered nanosized ceramic structure, which may predict the construction of nano-layer photonic crystals.Yayın Film formation stages for poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles: a photon transmission study(Springer-Verlag, 2006-07) Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Saraç, Ayfer; Arda, ErtanPhoton transmission technique was used to monitor the evolution of transparency during film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex particles. The latex films were prepared below the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PVAc. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures in various time intervals above the T-g of PVAc. It is observed that transmitted photon intensity (I-tr) from these films increased as the annealing temperature is increased. It is seen from I (tr) curves that there are two film formation stages. These successive stages are named void closure (viscous flow) and interdiffusion. The activation energies for viscous flow (Delta H) and backbone motion (Delta E (b)) were obtained by using well-defined models. The averaged values of the backbone (Delta E (b)) and the viscous flow activation energies (Delta H) were found to be 188.6 and 5.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The minimum film formation (tau (M),T (M)) and healing points (tau (H),T (H)) were determined. Minimum film formation (Delta E (M)) and healing activation energies (Delta E (H)) were measured using these time-temperature pairs. Delta E (M) and Delta E (H) were found to be 32.5 and 28.3 kcal/mol, respectively.Yayın Effect of annealing rate on film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission technique was used to monitor the time and temperature evolution of film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex particles. The latex films were prepared below the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PVAc. These films were annealed at various annealing rates above the Tg of PVAc. It was observed that transmitted photon intensity (I-tr) from these films increased at all annealing rates as the annealing time and temperature are increased. The increase in the I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the junction surface. The healing points (tau(H), T-H) were determined for various annealing rates and the healing activation energy (Delta H) was measured and found to be 43.4 kcal/mol. The interdiffusion (backbone) activation energies (Delta E) and reptation frequencies (nu) of PVAc chains were measured. The averaged value of Delta E was found to be 226.6 kcal/mol. It is observed that Delta E is unchanged but nu is increased as increasing the annealing rates.Yayın DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gozlemevi) telescope mount performances(SPIE, 2024) Marchiori, Gianpietro; Rampini, Francesco; Amalfi, Manfredi; Bressan, Riccardo; Ghedin, Leonardo; Battistel, Cristina; Manfrin, Cristiana; Vio, L.; Niero, Tiziano; Marchiori, Tommaso; Pirnay, Olivier; Gabriel, Eric; Méant, Laurence; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, OnurThe DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) Eastern Anatolia Observatory is an astronomical project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Atatürk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATASAM).
