High internal phase emulsion polymers (PolyHIPEs) are novel materials that have high porosity and interconnected open-cell structure and are used in various applications such as supports for catalytic systems, media for separation of similar molecules, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this study, 90% porous acrylic based polyHIPE structures with various cellular structure and mechanical characteristics were developed by using stearyl acrylate (SA), isodecyl acrylate (IDA), isobornyl methacrylate (IBMA), and divinylbenzene (DVB). Elastomeric polyHIPEs were produced from the comonomers of SA and IDA, and had high ability of recovery when the applied stress was removed. IBMA based polyHIPEs were brittle and demonstrated higher Young's modulus and compression strength than that of conventional styrene based polyHIPEs at the same void volume. Therefore, by varying the composition, it became possible to alter the mechanical properties of polyHIPEs from brittle to elastomeric, without changing the interconnected cellular structures.

Synthesis of acrylic based high internal phase emulsion polymers and their application in chromatography Tunç, Yeliz; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) High internal phase emulsion polymers (PolyHIPEs) are new generation materials with their high porosity and interconnected open-cell structures and finds applications in areas such as supports for catalytic systems, separation media and tissue engineering scaffolds. Styrene based PolyHIPEs are currently the most popular choice, but solvent compatibility and poor mechanical properties of these materials prevent their applications. Therefore development of new polyHIPEs with desired mechanical and cellular pr...
Mechanism of adsorption for design of role-specific polymeric surfactants Kırtıl, Emrah; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2023-01-01) Polymeric surfactants, compared to low molecular weight surfactants, provide prolonged stability and help modify the system’s rheological properties. In recent years, many studies have been published on conjugation of various proteins and carbohydrates to come up with designer biopolymers with superior properties to already available ones. The path to better predict the behavior of surfactant polymers before attempting an application would be through fundamental understanding of the mechanism of adsorption....
Preparation of crosslinkable high density polyethylene and polypropylene polyblends Koltuksuz, Barış; Tinçer, İsmail Teoman; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015) High density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are two commonly used thermoplastic polymers existing in the commodity plastic market due to their developed and easy post-reactor processability characteristics. Although these two polymers can be subjected to reprocessing, they eventually experience critical losses in their main physical and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. With the aim of preventing these losses in their mechanical and thermal properties in their individual and blende...
Fabrication and characterization of photocrosslinked phase change materials by using conventional and terahertz spectroscopy techniques Aytan, Emre; Aytekin, Yusuf Samet; Esentürk, Okan; KAHRAMAN, MEMET VEZİR (2019-12-01) A series of novel photocrosslinked shape-stabilized phase change materials (PCMs) based on tetradecanol and lauric acid have been prepared by UV technique for the purpose of thermal energy storage applications. Both lauric acid and tetradecanol were reacted with glycidyl methacrylate to form acrylated structures for covalently integrate into polyurethane (PU) based UV matrix to prevent leakage problem. The heating process phase change enthalpy is measured between 9 and 77 J/g, and the freezing process phase...
Synthesis of Optically Complex, Porous, and Anisometric Polymeric Microparticles by Templating from Liquid Crystalline Droplets Wang, Xiaoguang; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Miller, Daniel S; Pantoja, Marco A. Bedolla; Xiang, Jie; Lavrentovich, Oleg D; Abbott, Nicholas L (Wiley, 2016-10-25) It is demonstrated that aqueous dispersions of micrometer-sized liquid crystal (LC) droplets provide the basis of a general and facile methodology for the templated synthesis of spherical and nonspherical polymeric micro-particles with complex internal structure and porosity. Specifically, nematic droplets of reactive (RM257)/nonreactive mesogens with distinct internal configurations are prepared using a range of approaches, the reactive mesogens are photopolymerized, and then the nonreactive mesogens are e...
