Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (POSS) are cage-structured inorganic-organic hybrid materials which can be used in various industrial applications. It is recently discovered that POSS structures with certain functional groups can be solubilized in supercritical CO2 allowing their applications in environmentally benign supercritical processing of materials. In this theoretical study, nature and energetics of the interactions of octatrifluoropropyl POSS, octatrifluoromethyl POSS, and octamethyl POSS with CO2 are investigated according to the principles of density functional theory (DFT) by use of Gaussian 09 software. Simulations show that CO2-octamethyl POSS pair has hydrogen bonding between the O atom of CO2 and the H atom of the methyl group, and CO2-octatrifluoromethyl POSS pair has interactions between the C atom of CO2 and the F atom of the trifluoromethyl group. CO2-octatrifluoropropyl POSS pair is found to have both interaction types. The octamethyl, the octatrifluoromethyl and the octatrifluoropropyl POSS structures have interaction energies of -22.18kcal/mol, 23.10 kcal/mol, and 23.77 kcal/mol, respectively. This shows that the presence of Lewis acid-Lewis base interaction between C and F instead of hydrogen bonding between O and H atoms enhances the interaction of the molecule with CO2, while the presence of both interactions between the octatrifluoropropyl POSS-CO2 pair makes the intermolecular interaction even stronger.

Multifunctional properties of polymer foams and composites Özkutlu Demirel, Merve; Bayram, Göknur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-9) Polymer foams are low-density materials that consist of solid and gas phases and are used for insulation and transportation applications. This study aims to produce poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) foams with low density and improved thermal and mechanical properties using syntactic foam production and supercritical CO2 (scCO2) foaming methods. Syntactic foams were produced dispersing 5, 10, and 15 wt.% hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) in the PMMA matrix. Using different HGM types based on their density, su...
Nanoscale considerations responsible for diverse macroscopic phase behavior in monosubstituted isobutyl-POSS/poly(ethylene oxide) blends Caydamli, Yavuz; Yıldırım, Erol; Shen, Jialong; Fang, Xiaomeng; Pasquinelli, Melissa A.; Spontak, Richard J.; Tonelli, Alan E. (2017-12-14) Nanocomposites prepared by incorporating functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) into polymer matrices afford a wide range of versatile hybrid materials for use in technologies ranging from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to sensors and batteries. Here, we investigate the phase behavior of nanocomposites composed of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and monosubstituted isobutyl POSS (iPOSS) modified with different functional moieties. Microscopic analyses of blends containing these iPOSS variants ...
Electrochromic properties of multicolored novel polymer synthesized via combination of benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole units Rende, Eda; Kilic, Cihan E.; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2014-08-20) Synthesis of new conducting polymers is desired since their electrochemical and optical properties enable them to be used as active layers in many device applications. Benzotriazole and N-functionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (SNS Series) containing polymers showed very promising results as electrochromic materials. In order to observe the effect of the combination of these two units, three new monomers; 2-(6-(2,5-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H benzo[d][1,2,3...
Mechanical properties of HTPB-IPDI-based elastomers Haska, SB; Bayramli, E; Pekel, F; Özkar, Saim (1997-06-20) A polyurethane elastomer having mechanical and adhesive properties suitable for liner applications in solid rocket propellants was developed using HTPB as the prepolymer and IPDI as the curing agent. The effects of the NCO/OH ratio (R value) and the triol/diol ratio on the mechanical properties of the polyurethane matrix were investigated. The reaction of HTPB and IPDI is followed by monitoring the changes in the IR absorption bands of the NCO stretching at 2255 cm(-1) and the CO stretching at 1730 cm(-1). ...
Correlation based thermal design of air transport rack chassis Çolpa, Bekir Onur; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) In this thesis, a Thermal Model Tool (TMT) is developed for standard Avionic Transport Rack (ATR) chassis and thermal design of a standard ATR chassis is done using developed TMT. This ATR chassis is a Digital Moving Map (DMAP) of a helicopter and the tool is used to determine the cooling channel details of DMAP. TMT decreases design process steps and eliminates the complexity of the design. Experimental studies are conducted on one of the existing chassis produced in Aselsan Inc. for different operating co...
