In recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for the synthesis of carbazole-EDOT based electrochromic copolymers since this combination of structures facilitates the obtaining of a free standing film on the working electrode and improves the electrochromic properties of the polycarbazole (PC) polymer. In this study, carbazole-EDOT based copolymers with electrochromic properties in the literature were classified into three groups and the effect of changing the carbazole/EDOT order on the polymer chain on the electrochromic properties of the obtained copolymer was tried to be revealed. Moreover, as an example, a new candidate for carbazole-EDOT based electrochromic random copolymer was introduced. Carbazole and EDOT monomers were copolymerized electrochemically in nonacidic medium for a clear and basic comparison. The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies show that the corresponding copolymer, poly(C-co-EDOT), contains freestanding property on working electrode and shows multielectrochromic property. The copolymer gave a λmax value at about 545 nm with a band gap of 1.74 eV. As expected, EDOT monomer inserting to the polycarbazole chain improves electrochemical and optical properties of homopolymer PC. The electrochromic performance of new copolymer was also compared with its homopolymers components (polymer of carbazole (C) and EDOT) and carbazole-EDOT based electrochromic random copolymers in literature. The experiments showed that poly(C-co-EDOT) was an electroactive material with higher coloration efficiency (CE) (258 cm2/C at 900 nm) than that of PC and carbazole-EDOT based random copolymers in literature. DFT theoretical and experimental calculations were also achieved in order to find HOMO and LUMO energy levels besides band gap and compared with each other. No such a theoretical calculation related electrochromic PC polymer and that kind of random electrochromic copolymer has ever been encountered in the studies carried out so far. Since this research is a baseline study for the valuable design of carbazole-EDOT based electrochromic copolymer, it is thought to shed light on the scientists who will work on this subject in the future.

The Combination of benzotriazole and n-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1h-pyrrole units to investigate the electrochromic properties of conjugated polymers Rende, Eda; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Chemistry (2013) Synthesis of new conducting polymers is desired since their electrochemical and optical properties enable them to be used as active layers in many device applications. Benzotriazole and nfunctionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1h-pyrrole (SNS Series) containing polymers showed very promising results as electrochromic materials. In order to observe the effect of the combination of these two units three new monomers 2-(6-(2,5-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2- yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]t...
A Polymeric material for lumbar bone defects / Günay, Büşra; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2015) This thesis aims to develop a polymeric composite material that can be used as a lumbar fusion cage material. Lumbar fusion cages are one of the devices used in spinal fusion procedures for some spinal disorders such as spondylosis and degenerative disc disease that may occur due to age, trauma or genetic reasons. These devices are most frequently made of metals (e.g. titanium) and polymers (e.g. PEEK). The mechanical properties of such a device should not be much higher than that of the bone so that stress...

A Modeling Study on the Layout Impact of with-in-die Thickness Range for STI CMP Kıncal, Serkan; BAŞIM DOĞAN, GÜL BAHAR (2012-10-01) Chemical Mechanical Planarization process has a proven track record as an effective method for planarizing the wafer surface at multiple points of the semiconductor manufacturing flow. One of the most challenging aspects of the CMP process, particularly in applications like Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), is the difference in relative removal rates of the different materials that are being polished. A certain amount of over-polish is required to clear oxide on top of the nitride, however, this over-polish m...
A DFT Study of Ethylene Hydrogenation Reaction Mechanisms on Ni-13 Nanocluster Yilmazer, N. D.; FELLAH, MEHMET FERDİ; Önal, Işık (2013-06-01) Metal nanoclusters can potentially exhibit high catalytic activity and selectivity due to not only a high number of exposed surface atoms but also active sites with different coordination numbers as compared to bulk catalyst surface. In this study ethylene hydrogenation was used as a model reaction in an effort to elaborate reactivity of small Ni nanoclusters and the ethylene hydrogenation reaction mechanism. Two mechanistic pathways; representing Eley-Rideal and Horiuti-Polanyi type of mechanism for ethyle...
