A sodium borosilicate glass (SBG) with nominal composition of 55.7SiO2-33.6B2O3-9.2Na2O-1.5Al2O3 (wt %) was produced by the conventional melt-quenching method. The as cast SBG was heat treated at various temperatures to induce phase separation. The phase separated glass was then acid (HCl) leached using three different HCl molarities to dissolve alkali-borate phase hence, to obtain a porous glass (PG). In order to control the pore structure and to find out a correlation between the pore architecture and the resulting properties, PG was subsequently alkali (NaOH) leached or heat treated at 800 °C for 1 h. The effects of the applied heat treatment temperature and acid concentration of leach solution on pore architecture were investigated. Results revealed that the heat treatment temperature influences the width of liquation channels whereas, the primary pores associated with silica precipitates were more affected by the molarity of the acid leaching solution. The total pore volume of PG increased by alkali leaching but decreased by additional heat treatment. The microhardness and tribological properties of parent SBG and PGs were evaluated. The microhardness was lower but, wear rate was higher than that of the parent SBG for all PGs. TiO2 crystals were grown within the pores of PG and the results were evaluated in terms of the appropriateness of this system for wastewater treatment. Methylene Blue (MB) degradation tests revealed that the TiO2 embedded PG (TiPG) has photocatalytic activity under UV illumination and could be utilized as a promising material in wastewater treatment.

Production and properties of phase separated porous glass Ertus, E. Burak; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) A sodium borosilicate glass (SBG) was produced by conventional melt-quenching. As cast glass was heat treated to induce phase separation (SBG-HT), followed by acid leaching with HCl to dissolve one of the separated phases; i.e. alkali rich borate phase, so that a porous glass (PG) was obtained. In order to alter the pore structure, produced PG was subsequently alkali (NaOH) leached or alternatively heat treated. The samples were characterized by techniques including XRD, SEM, N-2 adsorption/desorption. The ...
Characterization of Ti-6Al-4V alloy foams synthesized by space holder technique ESEN, ZİYA; Bor, Sakir (2011-03-25) Ti-6Al-4V foams, biomedical candidate materials, were synthesized by powder metallurgical space holder technique as a result of evaporation of magnesium to achieve desired porosity content. Final products contained porosities in the range similar to 43-64% with an average macropore size between 485 and 572 mu m and a lamellar type Widmanstatten microstructure composed of alpha-platelets and beta-laths. Unlike the case of bulk Ti-6Al-4V alloy tested under compression loading, compression stress-strain curves...
Morphology and magnetic properties of barium hexaferrite ceramics synthesized in x wt% NaCl-(100-x) wt% KCL molten salts Aydogan, Eda; Kaya, Serap; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01) Micron size barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) platelets were prepared by the molten-salt synthesis method in various weight proportions of NaCl-KCl salt mixtures as a liquid medium. The effect of molten salt composition-x wt% NaCl and (100-x) wt% KCl-on the amount of barium hexaferrite phase formation, as well as, on the morphology and magnetic properties of the final products are discussed. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) was used to determine the solubility of the starting materials in ...
Formation Kinetics, Morphology and Magnetic Properties of BaHF Ceramics Synthesized in x wtNaCl- (100-x) wt KCl Molten Salts Kaya, Seray; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi (2013-06-19) Micron size barium hexaferrite (BaHF, BaFe12O19) platelets were prepared by molten-salt synthesis method in various weight proportions of NaCl-KCl salt mixtures as the liquid medium. The effects of calcination temperature and molten salt composition –x wt% NaCl and (100-x) wt% KCl-on the formation kinetics and amount of BaHF phase formation as well as on the morphology and magnetic properties of the final products have been discussed.

SYNTHESIS OF TiO2 NANOSTRUCTURES VIA HYDROTHERMAL METHOD Bilgin, Nursev; Agartan, Lutfi; PARK, JONGEE; Öztürk, Abdullah (2014-10-16) Titania (TiO2) nanostructures were produced via hydrothermal method using amorphous TiO2 powders synthesized by the sol-gel precipitation process. The hydrothermal system was isolated from the environment and hydrothermal reactions were allowed to execute at 130 degrees C for 36 h at autogeneous pressure, and at a stirring rate of 250 rpm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that TiO2 nanofibers formed instead of nanotubes upon utilization of amorphous TiO2 precursor. After hydrothermal syn...
