Micron size non-treated / silane coupling agent (SCA) treated serpentine filled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) composite preparation and characterization of composites in terms of mechanical, thermal, flow properties and morphology were studied in this work. First step of the study was the size reduction of the as collected serpentine mineral. Secondly, three types of silane coupling agent treatments were applied to serpentine which were gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (A-174), beta-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimethoxysilane (A-186) and gamma-mercapto-propyltrimethoxysilane (A-189). Non-treated and three different types of SCA treated serpentine minerals were melt mixed with ABS. Non-treated serpentine filled ABS composites had the serpentine weight fractions of 2%, 5%, 10% and 20%. On the other hand, SCA treated ones had serpentine weight fractions of 2%, 5% and 10%. Morphological analysis showed that SCA treatment was partly effective in interface interaction enhancement and A-186 gave the best results according to micrographs. There wasn’t any critical mechanical property loss up to 20% serpentine addition. Tensile tests revealed that SCA treatment increased the yield strength values of composites compared to non-treated serpentine filled composites. In accordance with morphological study, best result was obtained from 5% A-186 treated serpentine filled ABS as 12.9% improvement in yield strength value. Percent elongation at break values were increased with filler addition and greatest increase was observed in A-189 treated samples. Serpentine addition had no net effect on Young’s Modulus values. According to the impact testing results, A-189 treated samples had improved toughness compared to non-treated samples in accordance with elongation at break values. However increasing filler content resulted with decrease in impact strength values. DSC analysis showed that glass transion temperatures, especially for SCA treated samples, were decreased compared to neat ABS with filler addition. This result suggests that SCA may had the plasticizing effect on the composite. Flow properties of composites were not different from neat ABS up to 2% addition, when the filler concentration was further increased melt flow index values were dramatically decreased.

Fabrication and Characterization of Gold-Tin Eutectic Bonding for Hermetic Packaging of MEMS Devices
DEMIR, Eyup Can; TORUNBALCI, M. Mert; DONMEZ, Inci; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Akın, Tayfun (2014-12-05)
This paper presents the fabrication of wafer-level hermetic encapsulation for MEMS devices using low-temperature (300 degrees C) Au-Sn bonding together with their pre- and post-bonding characterization. Thermal evaporation method was used for metallization which is easy and controllable method for low thickness metallization. In this respect, the current study represents preliminary characterization results of Au-Sn pre-and post-bonding with an average thickness of less than 1.5 mu m processed by thermal ev...
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...
Preparation and Characterization of Polypropylene/Serpentine Composites
Tan, Semra; Tincer, İsmail Teoman (Wiley, 2011-07-15)
Composites of serpentine and polypropylene (PP) were prepared by twin-screw extrusion. Serpentine was collected as rocks from the Ankara-Beynam region and ground into powder with an average particle size of about 3 mu m for composite production. Both as-received (rock) and powdered serpentine were characterized. A silane coupling agent (SCA), gamma-aminopropyl triethoxy silane, was used for the surface treatment of serpentine. Mechanical properties of the composites were measured in terms of impact strength...
Preparation of a conducting flexible material from silane coupling agent and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene rubber by hydrolysis and condensation
Karatas, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Tincer, T (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01)
Synthesis and characterization of a flexible polymer produced from silane coupling agent (SCA) and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) were performed. Mechanical properties of chemically and electrochemically prepared conducting composites synthesized from this polymer were investigated. Conductivities of the composites were also measured. Polypyrrole enhanced the mechanical properties of the chemically prepared conducting composite. Doping with iodine greatly changed the conductivity of the composite....
Preparation, modification, and characterization of acrylic cements
Basgorenay, B; Ulubayram, K; Serbetci, K; Onurhan, E; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2006-03-15)
Acrylic cements with different compositions were prepared by mixing the solid part (composed of poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, and benzoyl peroxide, BPO) and the liquid part (composed of methyl methacrylate, MMA, and N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, DMPT), modified by addition of hydroxyapatite (HA) and ammonium nitrate (AN) and characterized by measuring thermal and mechanical properties. Three sets of samples were prepared. For B-group, the total amount of solid including HA was constant but the PMMA to HA rat...
