In this study, barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films with different compositions (Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3, Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3) were produced by chemical solution deposition technique. BST solutions were prepared by dissolving barium acetate, strontium acetate and titanium isopropoxide in acetic acid and adding ethylene glycol as a chelating agent and stabilizer to this solution, at molar ratio of acetic acid/ethylene glycol, 3:1. The solution was then coated on Si and Pt//Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds. Crack-free films were obtained up to 600 nm thickness after 3 coating 6 pyrolysis cycles by using 0.4M solutions. Crystal structure of the films was determined by x-ray diffraction while morphological properties of the surface and the film-substrate interface was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ferroelectric parameters of the films were measured. Sintering temperature, film composition and the thickness of the films were changed in order to observe the effect of these parameters on the measured electrical properties. The dielectric constant of the films was decreased slightly in 1kHz-1 MHz range. It was seen that dielectric constant and loss of the films was comparable to chemical solution deposition derived films on literature. Maximum dielectric constant was obtained for the Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 composition at a sintering temperature of 800C for duration of 3 hours. Dielectric constant increased whereas dielectric loss decreased with increasing film thickness. BST films have composition dependent Curie temperature. For Ba content greater than 70 %, the material is in ferroelectric state. However, fine grain size of the films associated with chemical solution deposition and Sr doping causes the suppression of ferroelectric behaviour in BST films. Therefore, only for

Preparation and Characterization of Antibacterial Zeolite-Polyurethane Composites Kamisoglu, K.; Çatman Aksoy, Emine; Akata Kurç, Burcu; Hasırcı, Nesrin; BAÇ, NURCAN (2008-12-05) In this study, antibacterial properties were induced in polyurethane (PU) films by the incorporation of Ag+-loaded zeolites as fillers. The mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared composites were also investigated. For this purpose, two different types of zeolite microparticles, high-silica zeolite beta crystals and low-silica zeolite A crystals, were synthesized. Ag+ was added by ion exchange, and these particles were incorporated into the PU prepolymer, which was prepared from its main component...
Design and synthesis of novel substituted indole-acrylamide derivatives and evaluation of their anti-cancer activity as potential tubulin-targeting agents Hawash, Mohammed; Kahraman, Deniz Cansen; OLĞAÇ, ABDURRAHMAN; Ergun, Sezen Guntekin; Hamel, Ernest; Cetin-Atalay, Rengul; BAYTAŞ, SULTAN (2022-04-01) Novel compounds containing polar and nonpolar substitutions on the prop-2-en-1-on linker of the trans-indol-3-ylacrylamide scaffold were designed by modeling within the colchicine site of tubulin and then synthesized to determine the role of such substitutions on tubulin polymerization. We first determined the in vitro antiproliferation activities of the compounds against cancer cell lines with a particular focus on hepatocellular carcinoma. The results indicated that five of the compounds showed moderate a...
Improvement in magnetic properties of La substituted BaFe12O19 particles prepared with an unusually low Fe/Ba molar ratio Sozeri, H.; KÜÇÜK, İLKER; Ozkan, H. (2011-07-01) In this study, effect of lanthanum substitution on the phase composition, lattice parameters and magnetic properties of barium hexaferrite has been studied in samples synthesized in ammonium nitrate melt. Samples, prepared with different lanthanum amount and having various initial Fe/(Ba + La) ratios in between 12 and 2 {(Ba1-xLax).n Fe2O3, where 0 <= x <= 1 and 1 <= n <= 6)}, are sintered at temperatures from 800 to 1200 degrees C. The lattice parameters, both a and c, decreases with increasing La amount w...
Studies on interaction of electromagnetic waves with barium hexaferrite ceramics Gürkan, Nurdan; Timuçin, Muharrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2008) M-type barium hexaferrite powders doped with titanium and/or cobalt have been synthesized according to the stochiometric formulations BaFe(12 (4/3)x)TixO19, BaFe12-xCoxO19 , BaFe12-2xTixCoxO19 (x varying from 0 to 1.5 with an increment of 0.5) by the mixed oxide approach. The powders were used to manufacture small ceramic tiles by sintering each composition at 1250 °C with soaking times ranging from 1 to 16 hours. XRD work revealed formation of the magnetoplumbite crystal structure in all ceramics. The var...
Preparation of biosensors by immobilization of polyphenol oxidase in conducting copolymers and their use in determination of phenolic compounds in red wine Boyukbayram, A. Efif; Kiralp, Senem; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Yusuf (2006-10-01) Electrochemically produced graft copolymers of thiophene capped polytetrahydofuran (TPTHF1 and TPTHF2) and pyrrole were achieved by constant potential electrolysis using sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) as the supporting electrolyte. Characterizations were based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrical conductivities were measured by the four-probe technique.
