Parylene C has been preferred in various microfluidic and packaging applications as a chemical barrier; therefore, its durability in chemicals is critical to maintain functionality of the devices. In this paper, we investigated solvent compatibility of Parylene C in a range of solvents with regard to swelling of it and the change in its surface roughness at room temperature. The results of Parylene C swelling were associated with solubility parameter, delta (cal/cm(3))(1/2), which is predicted from the parameters of dispersion, polar, and hydrogen-bonding forces. Solvents that swelled Parylene C film layer mostly were benzene, chloroform, trichloroethylene, and toluene, while methanol, 2-propanol, ethylene glycol, and water did not cause any swelling. Subsequently, the adverse effects of diffusion of solvents through a Parylene C film layer were demonstrated by stripping of the encapsulated photoresist. In addition, a comparison was made between Parylene C and poly(dimethyl) siloxane (PDMS) considering the data of swelling ratios obtained from the experimental findings and the literature, respectively. Experimental findings showed that Parylene C is much more compatible to solvents than PDMS in high-throughput microfluidic and packaging applications. These results will be of great value to scientists for understanding compatibility of any selected solvent on Parylene C in the applications of micro devices. [2013-0113]

UTILIZATION OF CURCUMIN AND BIODEGRADABLE POLYMERS IN INTELLIGENT AND ACTIVE FOOD PACKAGING YILDIZ, Eda; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Kahyaoğlu, Leyla Nesrin; Department of Food Engineering (2022-12-21) The main purpose of this study is to produce smart and active packages with curcumin using biodegradable polymers. To fulfill this aim, two different film making methods namely electrospinning and casting were used. Firstly, to take benefit of the halochromic properties of curcumin, it was encapsulated into chitosan/PEO based nanofibers to monitor food freshness. The average diameter of the fibers was found to be between 283 ± 27 nm and 338 ± 35 nm. It was concluded that increasing the chitosan amount in na...
Fate and degradation kinetics of nonylphenol compounds in aerobic batch digesters Omeroglu, Seçil; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2014-11-01) Nonylphenol (NP) compounds are toxic and persistent chemicals that are not fully degraded either in natural or engineered systems. Current knowledge indicates that these compounds concentrate in sewage sludge. Therefore, investigating the degradation patterns and types of metabolites formed during sludge treatment are important for land application of sewage sludge. Unfortunately, the information on the fate of nonylphenol compounds in sludge treatment is very limited. This study aims to investigate the bio...
Solvent recovery from photolithography waste using cellulose ultrafiltration membranes Savaş Alkan, Aygen; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep; Department of Chemical Engineering (2021-8) Cellulose flat sheet ultrafiltration membranes were fabricated for the investigation of their separation performance in Organic Solvent Ultrafiltration (OSU) applications and for the solvent recovery from photolithography wastes. Firstly, cellulose acetate membranes were produced and then, these were converted into cellulose membranes via alkaline hydrolysis. The membranes were cast from polymer solutions containing cellulose acetate as polymer with 20-30% concentration range, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as s...
Solvent extraction of scandium from pregnant leach solution of nickel laterites Ferizoğlu, Ece; Gürbüz, Rıza; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) The aim of this thesis study is the extraction and recovery of scandium from lateritic nickel-cobalt ores by using the solvent extraction method. In this study, different organic and scrubbing reagents were investigated in order to find the most suitable organic extractant for the extraction of scandium with low impurity co-extraction and scrubbing reagent to remove the extracted impurities from the loaded organic phase. In the first part, different organic reagents that are DEHPA, Cyanex 272, Cyanex 923, I...
Polymer foaming with supercritical carbon dioxide Novendra, Novendra; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015) High molecular weight semi crystalline poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was processed with environmentally benign and non-toxic supercritical carbon dioxide with and without the addition of two different additives to form porous polymeric thin films for biomedical applications such as drug delivery. One of the additives was a CO2-philic additive, trifluoropropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TFPOSS), and the other was a non CO2-philic additive, octamethyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OMPOSS). Eve...
