Incorporation of monoacetylferrocene to the sulfonated polystyrene ionomers imparted some changes in the properties of sulfonated polystyrene. Sulfonation was carried out by acetic anhydride and concentrated sulphuric acid. The sulfonation reaction and the degree of sulfonation were determined by analytical titration and adiabatic bomb calorimeter . For this purpose, sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) samples with varying percentages of sulfonation were prepared between 0.85% and 6.51%. Monoacetyl ferrocene was used in equivalent amount of sulfonation through addition procedure. FTIR Spectroscopy was one of the major techniques used to support the successful addition of AcFe to the SPS samples. Altering the sulfonation degree did not change the characteristic peak positions, but increased the peak intensities with increasing the degrees of sulfonation. Mechanical properties of resultant polymers were investigated. As a result, elastic modulus of polymers decreased by the amount of monoacetylferrocene. Thermal characteristic were found by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). Thermal analysis revealed that sulfonated polystyrene samples after addition of monoacetylferrocene displayed lower values of Tg. Microscopic analysis were made by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and single phase for each sample was observed. Besides, energy dispersed micro analysis showed an increase in the intensity of the iron (II) peaks that is related to the amount of monoacetylferrocene added to the SPS samples. Flame retardancy for each polymer was also examined and found that addition of monoacetylferrocene to sulfonated polystyrene does not change the Limiting Oxygen Index value (LOI)(17). However, LOI value for polystyrene is 18.

Preparation and Characterization of Low Density Polyethylene/Ethylene Methyl Acrylate Glycidyl Methacrylate/Organoclay Nanocomposites Coskunses, Fatma Isik; Yılmazer, Ülkü (Wiley, 2011-06-05) The effects of organoclay type, compatibilizer, and the addition order of components during melt-blending process on the morphology and thermal, mechanical, and flow properties of ternary nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were investigated. As a compatibilizer, ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA), as organoclays Cloisites (R) 15A, 25A, and 30B were used. All samples were prepared by a corotating twin screw extruder, followed by injection molding. The highest incre...

Conducting polymers have variety of application fields like solar cells (OPVs), electrochromic devices, biosensors and light emitting diodes. Up to date, the donor-acceptor (D-synthesis of conducting polymers to obtain low band gap polymers for desired applications. Recently, quinoxaline and benzodithiop...
Synthesis of triazene-substituted homoconjugated push-pull chromophores by formal [2 + 2] cycloadditions Erden, Kübra; Dengiz, Çağatay (Elsevier BV, 2019-07-25) 1-(4-Ethynylphenyl)-3,3-dialkyltriaz-1-enes, well-known building blocks for branched dendrimer syntheses, were utilized as a new type of electron-donor component in formal [2 + 2] cycloadditions. The click-type, atom-economic reactions proceed efficiently under ambient conditions without any catalyst. The resulting products are structurally interesting push-pull chromophores and were investigated in the context of optoelectronic properties using UV/Vis spectroscopy, NMR studies, and computational chemistry
Synthesis of graphene oxide/magnesium oxide nanocomposites with high-rate adsorption of methylene blue Heidarizad, Mahdi; Şengör, Sema Sevinç (2016-12-01) A series of graphene oxide/magnesium oxide nanocomposites (GO/MgO NCs) were and applied for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The prepared NCs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that MgO particles was successfully decorated on GO. The impacts of different experimental variables on the remova...
