In this work, newly synthesized poly (vinyl amino-N, N’-bis-propane diol) (GPVA) and copolymer, poly (vinyl amino-N, N’-bis-propane diol-co-DADMAC) (GPVA-co-DADMAC) were efficiently exploited for boron removal via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Boron concentration could be reduced from 10ppm down to 0.4ppm using GPVA whereas it could be reduced from 10ppm down to 0.8ppm with copolymer GPVA-co-DADMAC at pH 9 and loading (boron-to-polymer mass ratio) 0.001 via continuous polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Experiments revealed that GPVA shows the highest PEUF boron retentions (96% at pH 9.0) reported so far, without precipitation in a wide concentration range. Detailed investigations such as effect of pH, loading and polymer concentration showed that, the boron binding is highly pH dependent and increases with polymer concentration at constant loading for all the synthesized polymers. Furthermore, permeate flux was found as nearly independent of polymer concentration within the range of parameters studied (polymer concentration≤10g/L; pressure drop: 200kPa). High pH and concentration dependency of boron binding makes it possible to have polymer regeneration and boron recovery. In addition, gyration radius of GPVA in solution increases with increasing pH and polymer concentration in the presence of boron as inferred from Dynamic and Static Light Scattering measurements. Furthermore, a two-step equilibrium model was correlated with the experimental boron retention data, to explain the compexation behavior of polymer. Regarding with high efficiency and hydrolytic stability of the synthesized polymers, their use in combination with PEUF would be of interest for large scale and long term use in boron removal.

Novel boron specific copolymers with quaternary amine segments for efficient boron removal via PEUF Zerze, Hasan; Ozbelge, H. Onder; Bicak, Niyazi; AYDOĞAN, NİHAL; Yılmaz, Levent (2013-02-01) In this study, a copolymer, poly (vinyl amino-N, N'-bis-propane diol-co-DADMAC) (GPVA-co-DADMAC) was synthesized in three comonomer ratios (2%, 5% and 10%) and efficiently exploited for boron removal via polymer enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). Boron concentration could be reduced from 10 ppm down to 0.8 ppm by the employment of novel copolymer in continuous PEUF at pH 9 and boron-to-polymer mass ratio (loading) of 0.001. Polymer precipitation was not observed even after complexation with boron. Boron reten...
Donor acceptor type neutral state green polymer bearing pyrrole as the donor unit Celebi, Selin; Balan, Abidin; Epik, Bugra; Baran, Derya; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01) A new neutral state green polymer, poly (2,3-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5,8-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) quinoxaline) (PTBPPQ) was synthesized and its potential use as an electrochromic material was investigated. Spectroelectrochemistry studies showed that polymer reveals two distinct absorption bands as expected for a donor-acceptor type polymer, at 408 and 745 nm. In addition, polymer has excellent switching properties with satisfactory optical contrasts and very short switching times. Outstanding optical contrast in ...
Preparation and characterization of polymer composites containing boron compounds Topçuoğlu, Elif; Bayram, Göknur; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016) Epoxy (EP) is a thermosetting polymer which has high dimensional stability. However, the brittleness, low resistance to impact failure and flammability are some limitations of the epoxy polymer. These properties limit the usage of epoxy in the applications where high mechanical strength and flame retardancy properties are needed. The purposes of this study are to improve both mechanical and flame retardancy properties of epoxy by the addition of boron containing compounds (BCC) mainly boron carbide (B4C), a...
Bidirectional switching of near IR emitting boradiazaindacene fluorophores Deniz, Erhan; Isbasar, G. Ceyda; Bozdemir, Oe. Altan; YILDIRIM, LEYLA; Siemiarczuk, Aleksander; AKKAYA, Engin Umut (2008-08-21) Two novel distyryl-boradiazaindacene dyes with dimethylaminostyryl and pyridylethenyl substituents display opposite spectral shifts on protonation with TFA in organic solvents. This bidirectional switching of the dyes can be shown to be directly related to ICT donor and acceptor characteristics of the substituents attached to the BODIPY core. The observed spectral response of these dyes could be very useful in the design of novel NIR fluorescent ratiometric probes for pH.
Characteristics of polylactide composites involving montmorillonite and boron compounds Akar, Alinda Öykü; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2016) Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer and it is accepted as a promising alternative to the petroleum based materials. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the type and the amount of boron compounds with the addition of nanoclay to thermal, mechanical properties and flame retardancy of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) based nanocomposites. By this aim, zinc borate (ZnB), benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (BDBA) and Cloisite 30B (C30B) are used as an additive in PLA ...
