This work illustrated the significance of synthesis solution pH on the structural characteristics of MCF and SBA-15-like mesoporous materials. SBA-15 and MCF-like materials synthesized at pH << 1.0 and pH values higher than 1.0 showed highly different structural and morphological properties. XRD, TEM and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms of the synthesized materials showed that the long range order of mesopores of SBA-15 and the cage-window structure of MCF were significantly distorted at higher synthesis solution pH values (all acidic). A totally amorphous material with no ordered pores was obtained at a pH value of 2.0. Surface area and micropore contribution to the total pore volume significantly increased, while average mesopore diameter was decreased by increasing the synthesis pH value to 1.5. This was considered to be due to the increased contribution of corona region and bridging of the mesopores by secondary pores at higher pH. Pore structures of the MCF and SBA-15-like materials prepared at pH 1.5 were rather complex and interconnected. SEM, FT-IR and pyridine adsorbed FT-IR analysis of the materials also showed the importance of synthesis solution pH on the morphology, structure and acidic characteristics of the synthesized materials.

Purification and modification of bentonite and its use in polypropylene and linear low density polyethylene matrix nanocomposites Seyidoğlu, Tijen; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010) The potential use of Reşadiye/Tokat bentonite as a reinforcement in polypropylene (PP) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) polymer matrix nanocomposites filler was investigated. At first, organoclays (OC) were prepared by cation exchange reaction (CER) between the raw bentonite (RB) and three quaternary ammonium salts with long alkyl tails (QA): hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide [HMA] [Br], tetrabutyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate [TBA] [BF4], tetrakisdecyl ammonium bromide [TKA] [Br] and one quater...
Structural, electrochemical and optical comparisons of tungsten oxide coatings derived from tungsten powder-based sols Isik, Dilek; AK, METİN; Durucan, Caner (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-02) Tungsten trioxide (WO3) electrochromic coatings have been formed on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates by aqueous routes. Coating sols are obtained by dissolving tungsten powder in acetylated (APTA) or plain peroxotungstic acid (PTA) solutions. The structural evolution and electrochromic performance of the coatings as a function of calcination temperature (250 degrees C and 400 degrees C) have been reported. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction have shown that amorphous WO3 films ar...
Structural and optical properties of thermally annealed thallium indium disulfide thin films Guler, I; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-30) Structural and optical properties of thallium indium disulfide (TlInS2) thin films, deposited by thermal evaporation technique and thermally annealed at different temperatures, were analyzed. Crystallite size, dislocation density and lattice strain of the thin films were found from X-ray diffraction experiments. The atomic compositions of the films were determined from energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis. Surface morphology of the films was analyzed using atomic force microscopy. From room temperature t...
Design and development of high temperature nickel-based superalloys Eriş, Rasim; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Mekhrabov, Amdulla O.; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Remarkable high temperature mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys are related with the arrangement of ternary alloying elements in L12-type ordered γ'-Ni3Al intermetallics. Therefore, in this thesis, high temperature site occupancy preference and energetic-structural characteristics of atomic short range ordering of ternary alloying X elements (X = Co, Cr, Hf, Mo, Nb, Pt, Re, Ru, Ta and W, respectively) in Ni75Al21.875X3.125 alloy systems have been studied by combining the statistico-thermodynam...
Polymerization and characterization of trihalophenolato cerium(IV) complexes in the solid state and in the melt Senturk, O; Kisakurek, D (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01) The synthesis of trihalophenolate cerium (IV) complexes from an aqueous solution and their characterizations by means of FTIR, DSC, elemental analyses, mass spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements are described. The thermal polymerizations of these complexes were carried out in the solid state and in the melt. Structural analyses of polymers were performed by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR, and FTIR spectroscopic analyses; T-g by differential scanning calorimetry; as well as the molecular weights by visco...
