The zinc nitrate salt acts as a solvent in the ZnX-C12EO10 (ZnX is [Zn(H2O)(6)](NO3)(2) and C12EO10 is C12H25(OCH2CH2)(10)OH) lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) mesophase with a drastic dropping on the melting point of ZnX. The salt surfactant LLC mesophase is stable down to -52 degrees C and undergoes a phase change into a solid mesostructured salt upon cooling below -52 degrees C; no phase separation is observed down to -190 degrees C. The ZnX-C12EO10 mesophase displays a usual phase behavior with an increasing concentration of the solvent (ZnX) in the media with an order of bicontinuous cubic(V-1)-2D hexagonal(H-1) - a mixture of 2D hexagonal and micelle cubic(H-1 + I)-micelle cubic(I)-micelle(L-1) phases. The phase behaviors, specifically at low temperatures, and the first phase diagram of the ZnX-C12EO10 system was investigated using polarized optical microscopy (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Raman techniques and conductivity measurements.

Production of boron nitride by carbothermic and mechanochemical methods, and nanotube formation Camurlu, HE; Aydogdu, A; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali; Sevinc, N (2003-09-12) The formation of hexagonal boron nitride by carbothermic reduction of boron oxide and nitridation has been examined. Experiments were conducted in the temperature range of 1100-1500degreesC for durations between 15-240 minutes. Products were examined by X-ray, SEM and chemical analysis. The results showed that the reaction proceeds through a gaseous boron containing species, which is most probably 13203(g). It was found that all of the carbon was consumed and formation of boron nitride was complete in 2 hou...
Optimization of the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting using thermohydrogen processes BILGIN, Guney Mert; Esen, Ziya; Akin, Seniz Kushan; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2017-07-17) 2-step Thermo Hydrogen Process (THP) including hydrogenation and dehydrogenation steps was applied to Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) process to refine the microstructure and to increase the ductility of the alloy. It was observed that as-fabricated alloy's surface was composed of oxides of titanium and aluminum, which may alter the hydrogenation kinetics. The hydrogen treatment for 1 hat 650 degrees C, the maximum hydrogen solubility temperature of the alloy, transformed startin...
Characterization of iron oxide thin films prepared by sol-gel processing Karakuscu, Aylin; Ozenbas, Macit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) Iron oxide thin films were prepared by spin-coating a gel solution of iron(III) nitrate dissolved in 2-methoxyethanol and acetylacetone on glass and quartz substrates. The film thickness was adjusted by changing the spinning rate of the spin coater, Annealing was carried out between 300 degrees C to 600 degrees C to investigate the phases present in the films. Viscosity of the main solution was found as 0.0035 Pa (.) s by viscosity measurement. TGA/DTA analyses showed that heat treatment should be done betw...
Studies on selective adsorption of aqueous glucose or fructose on various cationic forms of Zeolite Y Yeşiltepe, Suat Bora; Kıncal, N. Suzan; Department of Biotechnology (2006) The equilibria of adsorption on calcium and hydrogen forms of zeolite Y by equimolar solutions of 12.5 %, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35% w/v of mixtures of glucose, G and fructose, F; also the non-equimolar mixtures of 20% w/v glucose - 30% w/v fructose, 30% w/v glucose - 20% w/v fructose, 25% w/v glucose 35% w/v fructose, and 35% w/v glucose-25% w/v fructose solutions, which were prepared 24 hours in advance at the experimental temperature, have been studied batch wise at 50ºC. Glucose adsorption, in solutions tha...
Fabrication and characterization of porous hydroxyapatite and biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic as bone substitutes Koc, N; Timucin, M; Korkusuz, Feza (2004-01-01) In the present study, the calcium phosphate powders (HAP, HAP-TCP) were produced by a precipitation technique involving the use of aqueous solutions of calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate. Preforms of calcium phosphate ceramics were produced by using a modified slip casting technique. Porosity in the cast and in the sintered ceramic was obtained through custom made PMMA beads similar to200-300 mum size. The green ceramic samples were prepared by suspending the apatite powder and PMMA beads in ...
