Tribological properties of a tightly woven Carbon/Carbon (C/C) composite were assessed experimentally in accord with the ASTM pin on disk technique. The C/C composite used in this study was a commercial material (K-Karb) obtained in a panel form. The composite consists of graphite fiber reinforced graphite matrix developed for aerospace applications. The fiber reinforcement was in a plain weave woven fabric form. The tests were conducted by sliding zirconia ball against the C/C composite. The friction coefficient and wear rate were determined as functions of applied load, sliding speed, sliding distance and lubrication in ambient laboratory conditions. Mean friction coefficient of the composite was 0.135 æ when tested at ambient atmosphere and 0.113 æ in lubricated environment at a load of 5 N, sliding speed of 0.5 cm/s, and sliding distance of 100 m. The wear volumes determined from surface profile traces obtained on the wear tracks after completion of the tests were used for calculations of the specific wear rates. The specific wear rates of the composite were 0.754 x 10-4 mm3/N.m at ambient atmosphere and 0.437 x 10-4 mm3/N.m in lubricated environment at the load of 5 N, sliding speed of 0.5 cm/s, and sliding distance of 100 m. The specific wear rate of the composite decreased with increasing sliding distance, sliding speed, applied load and also, decreased in lubricated environment. Keywords: C/C composite, tribology, friction, wear, lubricant.

Immobilization of tyrosinase in polysiloxane/polypyrrole copolymer matrices Arslan, A; Kiralp, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yagci, Y (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) Immobilization of tyrosinase in conducting copolymer matrices of pyrrole functionalized polydimethylsiloxane/polypyrrole (PDMS/PPy) was achieved by electrochemical polymerization. The polysiloxane/polypyrrole/tyrosinase electrode was constructed by the entrapment of enzyme in conducting matrices during electrochemical copolymerization. Maximum reaction rate (V-max) and Michaelis-Menten constant were investigated for immobilized enzyme. Enzyme electrodes were prepared in two different electrolyte/sol vent sy...
Axisymmetric crack problem for a hollow cylinder imbedded in a dissimilar medium Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-01) The analytical solution for the linear elastic problem of flat annular crack in a transversely isotropic hollow cylinder imbedded in a transversely isotropic medium is considered. The hollow cylinder is assumed to be perfectly bonded to the surrounding medium. This structure, which can represent a cylindrical coating-substrate system, is subjected to uniform crack surface pressure. Because of the geometry and the loading, the problem is axisymmetric. The z = 0 plane on which the crack lies, is also a plane ...
Structural properties of an engineered outer membrane protein G mutant, OmpG-16SL, investigated with infrared spectroscopy Yilmaz, Irem; Yildiz, Ozkan; KORKMAZ ÖZKAN, FİLİZ (Informa UK Limited, 2019-05-31) The structural and functional differences between wild type (WT) outer membrane protein G and its two mutants are investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Both mutants have a long extension to the primary sequence to increase the number of beta-strands from 14 (wild type) to 16 in an attempt to enlarge the pore diameter. The comparison among proteins is made in terms of pH-dependent conformational changes and thermal stability. Results show that all proteins respond to pH change but at dif...
Heat treatment of iron ore agglomerates with microwave energy Çırpar, Çiğdem; Arol, Ali İhsan; Department of Mining Engineering (2005) Pelletizing is a size enlargement technique employed to process fine-grained iron-bearing concentrates and powder ores. Mechanical strength of fired pellets is important for handling. When the pellets undergo metallurgical processing, their mechanical strength is a measure of their resistance to degradation by breakage due to impacts and abrasion to which they are exposed in the upper part of the blast furnace. In this study, heat treatment of iron ore agglomerates with microwave energy is investigated. Fir...
An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor based on a conducting polymer Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Kolb, Marit; TİMUR, SUNA; Bahadir, Muefit; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) An amperometric acetylcholine biosensor was prepared by the generation of the conducting polymer poly(4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly(SNS-NH2)) on graphite electrodes. For pesticide detection, the enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized onto the conducting polymer poly(SNS-NH2) films using covalent binding technique. Electrochemical polymerization was carried out using a three-electrode cell configuration via cyclic voltammetry. Characteri...
