Dual-type polymer electrochromic devices based on [(3-thienyl)methylmethacrylate]-co-[p-vinyl benzyloxy poly(ethylene oxide)]/polythiophene and thiophene-capped poly(ethylene oxide)/polythiophene and ethylene dioxythiophene were constructed via electropolymerization. Spectroelectrochemistry, switching ability and stability of the devices were investigated using UV-visible spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry. These devices exhibit low switching; voltages and short switching times with reasonable switching stability under atmospheric conditions. (C) 2006 Society of Chemical Industry.

Properties of blends prepared from surface-modified low-density polyethylene and poly(vinyl chloride)
Akovali, G; Torun, TT (Wiley, 1997-03-01)
Improvement of adhesion between low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in their blends was attempted by plasma modification of their surfaces. A series of different plasma treatments, vinyl chloride or carbon tetrachloride plasma for PE and acetylene plasma for PVC, were employed. In addition, an oligomeric copolymer of PE-VC was also tested in the blend. After modification, different degrees of improvement were obtained in mechanical properties, ranging from slight for acetylene pla...
Synergistic effect of boron containing substances on flame retardancy and thermal stability of clay containing intumescent polypropylene nanoclay composites
Dogan, Mehmet; Bayramlı, Erdal (Wiley, 2011-12-01)
The functions of nanoclay and three different boron containing substances, zinc borate (ZnB), borophosphate (BPO(4)), and boron silicon containing preceramic oligomer (BSi), were studied to improve the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP)-nanoclay-intumescent system composed of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER). The flame retardancy of PP composites was investigated using limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 standard, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and cone calorimeter.
Nanomorphology and fire behavior of polystyrene/organoclay nanocomposites containing brominated epoxy and antimony oxide
Isitman, Nihat Ali; Sipahioglu, B. Melike; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2012-06-01)
Organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by ultrasound-assisted solution intercalation technique based on polystyrene containing brominated epoxy and a combination of brominated epoxy and antimony oxide. Aspects of nanomorphology and nanodispersion were investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy whereas flammability and reaction to fire were evaluated using limiting oxygen index, UL-94, and mass loss calorimeter tests. Polystyrene/brominated-epoxy-blend-based nanocomposites showed...
Synthesis and characterization of thiophene functionalized polystyrene copolymers and their electrochemical properties
Sahin, E; Camurlu, P; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Mercore, VM; Cianga, I; Yagci, Y (Wiley, 2005-12-01)
Thiophene functionalized polystyrene samples (TFPS) were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene, followed by Suzuki coupling with 3-thiophene (Th) boronic acid. Conducting graft polymer of TFPS with thiophene was achieved at 1.5 V in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate/dichloromethane (TBAFB/DM) by electrochemical methods. Spectroelectrochemical analysis of the resulting copolymers [P(TFPS-co-Th)] reflected electronic transitions at 449, 721 and 880 nm, revealing pi - pi* tra...
Mechanical properties of plasma surface-modified calcium carbonate-polypropylene composites
Akovali, G; Akman, MA (Wiley, 1997-02-01)
Calcium carbonate was surface-modified by plasma-polymerized acetylene and the effect of surface modification on the mechanical properties of calcium carbonate-polypropylene composites was investigated. Two different plasma polymerization conditions were selected and applied. Chemical structures of plasma-polymerized acetylene products were identified. Mechanical and thermal properties of the composites prepared were evaluated and the effects of surface modification on the extent of adhesion of filler to th...
