New compounds consisting of 3-thienyl and aniline units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry. In the case of 3-thienyl derivatives two compounds, 1,12-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (MI) and 1,15-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane (MII) were synthesized utilizing literature methods and their corresponding polymers, poly(I) and poly(II) were prepared in an electrolytic solution containing 0.1 M terabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) dissolved in CH3CN. On the other hand, polymerization of aniline derivatives, 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxyethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dianiline (MIII) and 2,2'-[oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyloxyethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dianiline (MIV), was achieved in an aqueous solution containing 3.0 mol.L-1 H2SO4. Spectroelectrochemical (SPEL) properties and thermal analysis of the resulting polymers have been investigated using UV-vis, and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). MIII was also polymerized via chemical oxidation for comparison purposes. The polymers were characterized using 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, copolymers of MIII and MIV with aniline (ANI) were also studied with cyclic voltammetry (CV). SPEL behavior and electrical conduction mechanism of resulting copolymers were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopic technique and four-point probe technique, respectively.

Synthesis and characterization of polythiophene/montmorillonite and polythiophene/polypropylene composites Dülgerbaki, Çiğdem; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2006) In this study, polythiophene(PTP)/montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ intercalative polymerization and chemical oxidative polymerization. In in situ intercalative polymerization method, composites containing 90 and 95% MMT were prepared. In chemical oxidative polymerization method, a series of composites ranging from 1 to 15% by weight MMT were synthesized. Thermal and morphological properties of samples were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Thermal Gravim...
Synthesis and characterization of polypyrrole nanoparticles and their nanocomposites with polypropylene Baytekin, Sevil; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) Conducting polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles were synthesized via microemulsion polymerization system. The characterization of PPy nanoparticles was done by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Nanocomposites were prepared by melt-mixing of polypyrrole with polypropylene (PP) and processed with injection molding. The amount of PPy in nanocomposites varied in the range of 1-20% by weight. The effect of PPy nanoparticles on mechanical, electrical properties and ...
Synthesis of block conducting copolmers of cholesteryl functionalized thiophene and their use in the immobilization of cholesterol oxidase Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2004) Synthesis and characterization of conducting copolymers were achieved by using thiophene-3-yl acetic acid cholesteryl ester (CM) and poly (3-methylthienyl methacrylate) (PMTM). A new polythiophene containing a cholesteryl side chain in the b- position was chemically polymerized in nitromethane/carbon tetrachloride using FeCl3 as the oxidizing agent. Polymerization was also achieved by constant current electrolysis in dichloromethane. Subsequently, conducting copolymers of thiophene-3-yl acetic acid choleste...
Synthesis and characterization of polybenzoxazine Efe, Tuğba; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) A new method for polybenzoxazine synthesis was developed and carried out throughout this work. Bisphenol-A, hexamethylenediamine, and paraformaldehyde were reacted through Mannich condensation reaction forming polybenzoxazine precursors. The reaction was followed by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) as a molecular weight determination method in order to decide the end of reaction. The synthesized product, polybenzoxazine precursors, was polymerized thermally. Polybenzoxazine precursors were also character...
Synthesis of polythiophene and polypyrrole derivatives and their application in electrochromic devices Ak, Metin; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) Different substituted thiophene and pyrrole monomers namely hexamethylene (bis-3-thiopheneacetamide) (HMTA), N-(4-(3-thienylmethylene)-oxycarbonylphenyl)maleimide (MBThi), 2,4,6-Tris-(4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenoxy)-[1,3,5]triazine (TriaPy), 2,4,6-Tris-(thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)-[1,3,5] triazine (TriaTh), and N-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)methylcarbonyloxyethyl) maleimide (NMT) were synthesized. The chemical structures of the monomers were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) and Fourier Transform Infr...
