In this study, melt blended poly(lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol), (PLA)/PEG samples involving 10, 15 and 20 wt% PEG were prepared and characterized by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique in addition to classical techniques such differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analyses and mechanical tests. The incorporation of PEG resulted in consistent and significant decrease in the tensile strength and modulus, and reduction in endothermic melting peak of PLA due to the plasticizing effect of PEG with the virgin PLA matrix. Both TGA and DP-MS analyses pointed out that the thermal decomposition of the blend occurred mainly in two steps. In addition, the pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses indicated presence of chains generated by the interactions of ether linkages of PEG and COOH groups of PLA, present either as end groups or due to reactions with water, during the blending and/or pyrolysis process. As a consequence, decrease in the thermal stability of PEG chains was detected. Analyses of the blends prepared by solution mixing for variable periods confirmed that these interactions took place mainly during the blending process. In addition, increase in the thermal stabilities of both components for the blends prepared by stirring for prolonged times was detected and associated with generation of a crosslinked structure.

Thermal degradation of Polylactide/Poly(ethylene glycol) fibers and composite fibers involving organoclay
Ozdemir, Esra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2018-01-01)
In this study, electrospun fibers of melt blended poly(lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol), (PLA)-PEG blends involving 10, 15 and 20 wt% PEG and their corresponding composites with organically modified montmorillonite, Cloisite 30B were prepared and characterized by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The narrower fiber diameters observed for the PLA-PEG fibers involving organoclay compared to the corresponding neat fib...
Characterization of polyaniline via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kücükyavuz, Zühal (2008-04-05)
In this work, direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to investigate the thermal and the structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared HCl and HNO3-doped polyaniline (PANI) films. It has been determined that the thermal degradation of both samples showed three main thermal degradation stages. The first stage around 50-60 degrees C was associated with evolution of solvent and low-molecular-weight species adsorbed on the polymer, the second stage just above 150 degr...
Characterizations of PLA-PEG blends involving organically modified montmorillonite
Ozdemir, Esra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2017-09-01)
In this study, organically modified montmorillonite composites of poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) blends involving 10,15 and 20 wt% PEG were prepared. The characterization of the composite systems was conducted with various techniques such as gel permeation chromatography (GPC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DP-MS) in addition to tensile te...
Investigation of the effect of substituent on the growth of polymer for 3-substituted polythiophenes via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Aslan, Evren; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2005-10-15)
In this study, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of electrochemically polymerized poly(decanedioic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester) and poly(terepthalic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester) were per-formed to investigate structural and thermal characteristics. It was found that when the ester linkages contain hydrocarbon chains, the growth of polymer occurred through both 2- and 5-positions. On the other hand, when the ester linkages contain more rigid groups such as phenyl, steric hindran...
Investigation of the effect of dopant on characteristics of poly(3-methyl thiophene) via pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Gözet, Tuba; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2007-03-01)
In this work, a direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique was applied to investigate the thermal and the structural characteristics of electrochemically prepared PF6- and BF4- doped poly(3-methylthiophene) (PMTh) to explore the effect of dopant on thermal and structural characteristics. It has been determined that the thermal degradation of PMTh occurs in two steps as in the case of polythiophene, (PTh). The first step was assigned to the loss of the dopant, and the second step to the deg...
