Benzoselenadiazole, quinoxaline and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene are the units preferred in conducting polymers due to their electrochemical properties. There are no reports in the literature on polymers containing both moieties. In this study, novel benzoselenadiazole, quinoxaline and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene based monomers; 4-(3a,6a-dihydrothieno[3,2-b]thiophen-2-y1)-7-(thieno[3,2-b]thiophenyl) benzo[c][1,2,51selenadiazole (BSeTT) and 2,3-bis(3,4-bis(decyloxy)phenyl)-5,8-dibromo-2,3dihydroquinoxaline (QTT) were synthesized via Stille Coupling and polymerized electrochemically. These polymers were characterized in terms of their spectroelectrochemical and electrochemical properties by cyclic voltammetry and UV Vis NIR spectroscopy. Spectroelectrochemistry analysis of PBSeTT revealed an electronic transition at 525 nm corresponding to pi-pi* transition with a band gap of 0.93 eV whereas PQTT revealed electronic transitions at 440 and 600 nm corresponding to pi-pi*transitions with a band gap of 1.30 eV. Electrochromic investigations showed that PBSeTT has gray color PQTT switching between green and gray. Switching time of the polymers was evaluated by a kinetic study upon measuring the percent transmittance (%T) at the maximum contrast point.

Pyrolysis mass spectrometric analysis of copolymer of polyacrylonitrile and polythiophene Oğuz, Gülcan; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2004) In the first part of this work, the structural and thermal characteristics of polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylonitrile films treated under the electrolysis conditions in the absence of thiophene, polythiophene and the mechanical mixture and a conducting copolymer of polyacrylonitrile/polythiophene have been studied by pyrolysis mass spectrometry technique. The thermal degradation of polyacrylonitrile occurs in three steps; evolution of HCN, monomer, low molecular weight oligomers due to random chain cleavages a...
Syntheses of benzotriazole bearing donor acceptor type random copolymers for full visible light absorption Öktem, Gözde; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2011) The synthesis and preliminary optoelectronic properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers differing by the acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. Polymers CoP1, CoP2 and CoP3 were designed to yield alternating DA segments with randomly distributed different acceptor units along polymer backbone. The combination of neutral state red colored and neutral state green colored materials resulted in different neutral state colors with respect to their additional acceptor unit. 5,8...
Surface energy and excess charge in (1x2)-reconstructed rutile TiO2(110) from DFT plus U calculations Unal, Hatice; METE, ERSEN; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (2011-09-09) Physically reasonable electronic structures of reconstructed rutile TiO2(110)-(1x2) surfaces were studied using density functional theory (DFT) supplemented with Hubbard U on-site Coulomb repulsion acting on the d electrons, the so called DFT + U approach. Two leading reconstruction models proposed by Onishi and Iwasawa [Surf. Sci. Lett. 313, 783 (1994)] and Park and coworkers [Phys. Rev. B 75, 245415 (2007)] were compared in terms of their thermodynamic stabilities.
DIPOLE-MOMENTS OF ISOTACTIC AND ATACTIC POLY(PROPYLENE OXIDE) SAMPLES KUCUKYAVUZ, Z; ALYURUK, K; AHMAD, AM (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) Dipole moments of poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) samples with different tacticities were determined from dielectric constant and refractive index increment measurements, which were performed on dilute toluene and isooctane solutions. In contrast to previous reports, both refractive index increments and the dipole moment ratios showed a marked dependence on the tacticities of the samples. The dipole moment ratios of isotactic samples were greater than unity and decreased with increasing sequence concentration...
Nanocomposites based on blends of polyethylene Işık, Fatma; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this study the effects of compatibilizer type, organoclay type, and the addition order of components on the morphological, thermal, mechanical and flow properties of ternary nanocomposites based on low density polyethylene, LDPE were investigated. As compatibilizer, ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate, ethylene/glycidyl methacrylate, and ethylene/butyl acrylate/maleic anhydride; as organoclay Cloisite? 15A, Cloisite? 25A and Cloisite? 30B were used. All samples were prepared by a co-rotating t...
