Employability of graphene-based materials in various technological applications in order to exploit its exceptional properties is achieved/improved via their interactions with various atoms, molecules, nanostructures and surfaces. In this thesis, the interaction of cyclohexane and derived molecules, carbon nanotubes and metallic surfaces with both pristine and defected graphene structures are investigated using density functional theory.

A joint density functional and classical molecular dynamics study on interface characteristics of graphene and polyetheretherketone Sert, Elif; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2020-10-9) Graphene is a single layer allotrope of carbon with a honeycomb arrangement of atoms, characterized by excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, high Young’s modulus as well as desirable electrical properties such as high electron mobility. Due to these superior properties, it is considered an important material in numerous technological applications. Among these, graphene-polymer composites have attracted significant interest in the materials research community in recent years. T...
A 5-Parameter Isothermal Creep Model For Polymeric Liners Güner, Doğukan; Öztürk, Hasan (null; 2019-07-12) Polymeric materials are commonly used as load-carrying components in different structural applications due to the ease of manufacture, installation and long lifetime properties. In civil and mining engineering applications, fast-setting thin polymeric liners are in demand as areal support elements in underground openings. The stability of the openings is maintained by polymeric liners that might sustain the constant loads due to the presence of wedge blocks. Therefore, their time-dependent mechanical respo...
An experimental study on the dispersion stability of alumina-water nanofluids via particle size distribution and zeta potential measurements Elcioglu, Elif Begum; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2016-01-01) The concept nanofluids have attracted attention due to the possibility of gaining increments in transport properties including thermal conductivity. While such increments have been verified to some extent, their maintenance is a concern. Since the sustainability of the properties strongly depend on the colloidal behavior, a fundamental understanding on the dispersion stability of nanofluids is essential. This study is a demonstration of evaluating the dispersion stability of one-year old Alumina - Water nan...
A density functional study on some cyclic N10 isomers Türker, Lemi (Elsevier BV, 2019-4) Polynitrogen compounds, comprising only nitrogen atoms, are rare. They are considered as promising candidates of clean (green) high energy density materials because of their high energy content and their sole decomposition product is N2. Extending the previous work which was on cyclic N8 isomers, in this study some cyclic N10 isomers having 1e4 cycles are considered within the limitations of density functional theory at the levels of B3LYP/6-311þþG(d,p) and B3LYP/cc-PVTZ. Some of the structures, includ...
Computational studies on nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and charged forms Türker, Burhan Lemi; Atalar, Taner (2009-02-15) An energetic material, nitratoethylnitramine (NENA), its tautomers and also its charged forms are considered quantum chemically, using various basis sets at the levels of ab initio and density functional theories (DFT). NENA has been found to be sensitive to negative charge development, resulting in rupture of O-NO(2) bond. Also conformational and molecular dynamics (MD) studies have been performed on NENA. Various geometrical parameters, energies and infrared spectra have been obtained and discussed. Also,...
