Bioreactors are systems that use a biological agent to perform a chemical reaction. Developments on the field of biotechnology made production of even previously known non-renewable petro-chemical products to be produced by microorganism by use of bioreactors possible. Also developments on tissue engineering made it possible to produce organs by using bioreactors. Therefore, bioreactors become integral parts of future economy and technology. In this study prototyping of a small scale bioreactor was performed. Heat transfer system which can cause temperature change of minimum 0.2 °C/seconds was produced. Also an agitation system that can operate up to 1500 rpm without any contamination risk was developed and produced. For effective foam/level control a miniature multi-probe foam/level sensor with 2 mm sensitivity and 50 mm working range was developed and tested.

Structural and thermal characterization of polymers via pyrolysis mass spectrometry Argın, Emir; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Chemistry (2005) In the first part of this study, the structtural and thermal characterization of electrochemically and chemically polymerized poly(paraphenylene vinylene), (PPV), have been investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Thermal characteristics, and degradation products of electrochemically prepared poly(paraphenylene vinylene). Pyrolysis study indicated that thermal decomposition of PPV occurs at least two steps. The first being due to the loss of supporting electrolyte present and the second being dec...
Synthesis of conducting block copolymers and their use in the immobilization of invertase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme Kıralp, Senem; Kıralp, Senem; Department of Chemistry (2004) A new thiophene derivative containing menthyl group (MM) was synthesized and polymerized via chemical and electrochemical methods. Polymers obtained and MM itself were used to synthesize copolymers with pyrrole under conditions of constant potential electrolysis. Cyclic Voltammetry, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed for the characterization of samples. Immobilization of invertase and polyphenol oxidase enzymes was performed in the matrices obtained via copolymerizatio...
A NEW DIFUNCTIONAL ANIONIC INITIATOR SOLUBLE IN NONPOLAR-SOLVENTS NUGAY, T; KUCUKYAVUZ, S (Wiley, 1992-01-01) The reaction between 1,5-diethenylnaphthalene and sec-butyllithium produces a new difunctional organolithium initiator which is soluble in non-polar solvents and effective in the synthesis of styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer. Monomodal molecular weight distributions are observed for block copolymers and styrene homopolymers. The microstructure of polyisoprene blocks is similar to those polymers initiated by butyllithium in the same solvent.
Pyrolysis mass spectrometric analysis of copolymer of polyacrylonitrile and polythiophene Oğuz, Gülcan; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) In the first part of this work, the structural and thermal characteristics of polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylonitrile films treated under the electrolysis conditions in the absence of thiophene, polythiophene and the mechanical mixture and a conducting copolymer of polyacrylonitrile/polythiophene have been studied by pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The thermal degradation of polyacrylonitrile occurs in three steps; evolution of HCN, monomer, low molecular weight oligomers due to random chain cleavages a...
Synthesis and characterization of polypropylene based ion-exchange resin Ecevit, Safiye Tuba; Aras, Leyla; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012) The synthesis of ion-exchange resin which can be used in various separation and chemical purposes, such as diffusion dialysis, electro dialysis, electrolysis and fuel cells has of considerable interest. For all these applications, the interactions of the ionic groups and the resulted morphologies are critical for establishing the unique properties. Considerable researches have been continued to understand the microstructure of these materials. The aim of this study is to synthesize polypropylene (PP) based ...
