In this thesis, fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage. After the optimization of the process parameters for the depositions, only TiO2 layer was successfully deposited while other oxides did not form continuous films on AISI-304 SS surface despite the efforts. SEM analysis, supported by back-scatter imaging, revealed thickness values of the layers for FTO and TiO2, individually. Heating performances of the samples with various sheet resistance values were examined under various applied voltages. Heating experiments showed that 300 oC can be reached with 10 V of applied voltage without occurrence of an electrical breakdown of FTO coating having 160 nm thickness with TiO2 intermediate layer of 660 nm. 28.6% efficiency of converting electrical energy into heat was calculated for thin FTO film while stainless steel showed only 7.3% efficiency. Also, cyclic heating experiments and humidity test indicated that FTO coatings are resistant against cyclic loadings and humid environment.

Conducting fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for heating applications Süer, Başar; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2021-06-01) Fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 SS using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage.

EQUIVALENT STRAIN AND STRESS HISTORY IN TORSION TESTS TEKKAYA, AE (1994-02-01) Bulk and plane torsion tests are being used in industry to determine the flow curve of metals up to very high plastic strains. Despite their wide usage the experimental results obtained in torsion tests are still not being evaluated uniformly. Differences arise basically due to the conversion of the measured angle of twist into the corresponding equivalent strain. This paper shows that the often used equivalent strain expression by Nadai and Davis as well as Eichinger is invalid, since the so-called redunda...
FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TiO2 THIN FILM FOR DEVICE APPLICATIONS HOSSEINI, AREZOO; GÜLLÜ, HASAN HÜSEYİN; COŞKUN, EMRE; Parlak, Mehmet; Erçelebi, Ayşe Çiğdem (2019-07-01) Titanium oxide (TiO2) film was deposited by rectification factor (RF) magnetron sputtering technique on glass substrates and p-Si (111) wafers to fabricate n-TiO2/p-Si heterojunction devices for the investigation of material and device properties, respectively. The structural, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of TiO(2 )film were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visual (UV-Vis) spectral and dark curre...
Miscibility of methylmethacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer with magnesium, zinc, and manganese sulfonated polystyrene ionomers Alkan, C; Yurtseven, N; Aras, L (2005-01-01) The miscibility of methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid polymer (MMA-MAA) with metal neutralized sulfonated polystyrene ionomers was investigated by viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared radiation spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Polystyrene (PS) was sulfonated by acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid and the sulfonation degree was found to be 2.6 mole percent, and 2.6 mole percent sulfonated polystyrene was neutralized by Mg, Zn, and Mn salts. The miscibility be...
Bactericidal and in vitro osteogenic activity of nano sized cobalt-doped silicate hydroxyapatite Alshemary, Ammar Z.; Hussain, Rafaqat; Dalgic, Ali Deniz; Evis, Zafer (2022-10-01) Hydroxyapatite (HA) particles with enhanced antibacterial properties can be prepared by integrating metal ions into the crystal structure of the nanoparticles. Cobalt and silicate ions containing HA (Co/Si-HA) with the formula Ca10-xCox(PO4)6-y(SiO4)y(OH)2 (x = 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 and y = 0.5) was successfully synthesised by using microwave-assisted wet precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and inductively coupled...
