The mineralogy and spatial distribution of nano-crystalline corrosion products that form in the steel/concrete interface were characterized using synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction (mu-XRD). Two types of low-nickel high-chromium reinforcing steels embedded into mortar and exposed to NaCl solution were investigated. Corrosion in the samples was confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). mu-XRD revealed that goethite (alpha-FeOOH) and akaganeite (beta-FeOOH) are the main iron oxide-hydroxides formed during the chloride-induced corrosion of stainless steel in concrete. Goethite is formed closer to the surface of the steel due to the presence of chromium in the steel, while akaganeite is formed further away from the surface due to the presence of chloride ions. Detailed microstructural analysis is shown and discussed on one sample of each type of steel.

Intrinsic photoconductivity of P3HT films measured by time-resolved THz spectroscopy Esentürk, Okan; Heilweil, Edwin J. (2007-12-01) Intrinsic photoconductivities of P3HT polymers were measured and compared by using optical pump-THz probe spectroscopy. The charge carrier mobility shows a clear dependence on the molecular weight and dispersion index of the polymers.
Microstructural and mechanical characterization of duplex stainless steel grade 2205 joined by hybrid plasma and gas metal arc welding Tolungüç, Burcu; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) In the present study, the applicability of the hybrid plasma arc welding, in which a keyhole is responsible of deep penetration and a filler wire electrode supplies a high deposition rate, was examined. The microstructural evolutions in grade 2205 duplex stainless steel plates joined by keyhole and melt-in techniques were investigated. The specimens obtained from welded plates having thickness of 8 mm were examined via optical and scanning electron microscopy. Metallographic investigations were supported by...
Tailoring the optoelectronic properties of donor-acceptor-donor type pi-conjugated polymers via incorporating different electron-acceptor moieties Tarkuc, Simge; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2012-01-31) Syntheses of donor-acceptor-donor type of pi-conjugated monomers were performed to examine the effect of the acceptor units' strength on the electrochemical and optoelectrochemical properties of the resulting monomer and polymer. Palladium catalyzed Stille cross-coupling reaction of an organotin reagent with an organic electrophile was used for the synthesis of target monomers, 5,8-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]clioxin-6-y1)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,41dioxin-7-yl)quinoxaline (DBQHT) a...
Multiscale characterization of chemical-mechanical interactions between polymer fibers and cementitious matrix Hernandez-Cruz, Daniel; Hargis, Craig W.; Bae, Sungchul; Itty, Pierre A.; Akgül, Çağla; Dominowski, Jolee; Radler, Michael J.; Kilcoyne, David A.; Monteiro, Paulo J. M. (2014-04-01) Together with a series of mechanical tests, the interactions and potential bonding between polymeric fibers and cementitious materials were studied using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and microtomography (mu CT). Experimental results.showed that these techniques have great potential to characterize the polymer fiber-hydrated cement-paste matrix interface, as well as differentiating the chemistry of the two components of a bi-polymer (hybrid) fiber-the polypropylene core and the ethylene acry...
Controlled assemble and microfabrication of zeolite particles on SiO2 substrates for potential biosensor applications Öztürk, Semra; Turan, Raşit; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2008-12-04) Zeolite nanoparticles were organized into functional entities on SiO2 substrates and microfabrication technique was tested to form patterns of zeolite nanoparticles on SiO2 using the electron beam lithography (EBL). The effect of different techniques for efficient zeolite assembly on the SiO2 substrates was investigated. For this purpose, three different assembly techniques were tested. The first two methods are spin-coating (SC) and ultrasound aided strong agitation (US) methods, which were tested using ba...
