Boron doped PVA/Zr-Al acetate nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning using PVA as a precursor. The effect of calcination temperature on morphology and crystal structure was investigated at 250, 500, and 800 degrees C. The study also establishes the effect of boron doping on the morphology of PVA/Zr-Al acetate nanofibers at various calcination temperatures. The measurements showed that the conductivity, pH, viscosity and the surface tension of the hybrid polymer solutions have increased with boron doping. In addition, the fibers were characterized by FTIR, DSC, XPS, XRD and SEM techniques. The addition of boron did not only increase the thermal stability of the fibers, hut also increased the average fiber diameters, which gave stronger fibers. The DSC results indicated that the melting temperature (Tm) of the fibers was increased from 256 to 270 degrees C with the addition of boron. XRD peak patterns showed that after further heat treatment at 800 degrees C, zirconia exists in two phases of tetragonal and monoclinic modifications. Moreover, alumina does not transform into the gamma-Al2O3 and theta-Al2O3 phase at 800 degrees C. The SEM appearance of the fibers showed that the addition of boron resulted in the formation of crosslinked bright surfaced fibers.

Fabrication and characterization of boron doped BaZrO3 nanofibers via an electrospinning technique
TUNÇ, TUNCAY; Uslu, I.; Keskin, Serhat (2011-10-01)
In this study, boron doped and undoped poly(vinyl) alcohol/zirconium-barium acetate (PVA/Zr-Ba) nanofibers were prepared using an electrospinning technique then calcinated at three different temperatures; 250 degrees C, 500 degrees C, 800 degrees C for 2 h. The originality of this study is the addition of boron to metal acetates. The fibers were characterized by FT-IR, DSC, XRD and SEM. The addition of boron did not only increase the thermal stability of the fibers, but also increased their diameters, which...
Synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes from ketoalkynes
Vatansever, Erol Can; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2013)
Synthesis of thiophene containing compounds are of particular interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Besides the importance for synthetic organic chemistry, thiophene derivatives are used in applied research such as drug synthesis and study of functional materials. In this thesis, a new methodology for developing of 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes was developed. This methodology utilizes readily available compounds in a two-step synthesis to provide a facile access to the 2,3-disubstituted thiophenes. In the...

Ilkay, L. S.; ÖZBAYOĞLU, GÜLHAN; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2014-11-01)
Strontium pyrophosphate, Sr2P2O7, was synthesized by solid-state synthesis method; the product was co-doped with copper-silver (Cu-Ag), copper-indium (Cu-In) and manganese-praseodymium (Mn-Pr) oxides (CuO, MnO, In2O3, Pr6O11 and AgNO3) by solid-state reaction method. The variation of dopant concentrations was investigated from 0.5 to 15% by weight. In addition to these processes, chemical characterizations of samples and the investigation of thermoluminescence (TLD) properties of strontium pyrophosphate wit...

A study was carried out on the synthesis of FeTi intermetallics from mixed oxide precursors using the method of electro-deoxidation. Fe2O3 and TiO2 mixed in molar proportions of 1:2 were sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 degrees C to 1300 degrees C. The sintered pellet of mixed oxides, connected as cathode, was then electrolyzed in a molten CaCl2 at 900 degrees C using a graphite anode at a potential of 3.2 V. The electrolysis yielded the target composition FeTi in substantial amounts only when the ...
Synthesis and characterization of aluminoborophosphate compounds by hydrothermal and solid-state methods
Karabıçak, Seher; Kızılyallı, Meral; Department of Chemistry (2004)
The hydrothermal and solid state methods were used in the synthesis of some aluminoborophosphate compounds. The products were investigated by using XRD, IR, DTA, DSC, ICP and SEM methods. The solid state reactions have been studied in the range 700 ا 1200?C. Using several hydrothermal methods a novel aluminum phosphate compound Al3-xBxP3O12 was synthesized. The crystal system was found to be tetragonal with a=17.1629 and c = 12.6084A° unit cell parameters and space group is P4212 (No:90). In anorthite miner...
