A dipyrromethane functionalized monomer, 5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)dipyrromethane (DP), was synthesized to examine the spectral differences of its copolymer and blend with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene. Electrochemical polymerization, copolymerization, and blending of DP were achieved in LiClO4/Acetonitrile. Spectral and electrochromic properties of products were investigated. Spectral properties of copolymer and blend revealed great differences from each other and also from their corresponding homopolymers. Effect of monomer feed ratio on the spectral properties of copolymer was also investigated.

Immobilization of tyrosinase in polysiloxane/polypyrrole copolymer matrices Arslan, Ahu; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) Immobilization of tyrosinase in conducting copolymer matrices of pyrrole functionalized polydimethylsiloxane/polypyrrole (PDMS/PPy) were achieved by electrochemical polymerization. The polysiloxane/polypyrrole/tyrosinase electrode was constructed by the entrapment of enzyme in conducting matrices during electrochemical copolymerization. Maximum reaction rate (Vmax) and Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) were investigated for immobilized enzyme. Enzyme electrodes were prepared in two different electrolyte/solven...
Synthesis and characterization of conducting copolymers of thiophene functionalized monomers and polymers Papila, Özge; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2003) Synthesis and characterization of conducting copolymers were achieved by using thiophene end-funtionalized TEMPO initiated polystyrene (PS), decanoic acid dithiophen-3yl-me1hyl ester (DTME) and octanoic acid thiophen-3yl-methyl ester (OTME). Redox behavior of polymer and monomers were done by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). Structural and characterization of samples were carried out by XB., 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermal analyses of resultant conduc...
Biosensor based on interpenetrated polymer network of alginic acid and poly(1-vinylimidazole ) Kartal, Müjgan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2008) A new proton conductor polymer was prepared using alginic acid (AA) and poly (1-vinylimidazole) (PVI). The polymer network was obtained by mixing AA and PVI at various stoichiometric ratios, x (molar ratio of the monomer repeat units). The AA/PVI network was characterized by elemental analysis (EA) and FT-IR spectroscopy. Potential use of this network in enzyme immobilization was studied. Enzyme entrapped polymer networks (EEPN) were produced by immobilizing invertase and tyrosinase (PPO) in the AA/PVI netw...
Conducting graft copolymers of pyrrole and thiophene with random copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 3-methylthienyl methacrylate Guner, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hepuzer, Y; Yagci, Y (2004-08-01) Random copolymers of 3-methyl thienylmethacrylate and methyl methacrylate were synthesized via free radical polymerization. Electro-copolymerizations of random copolymers with thiophene and/or pyrrole were carried out in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB), water-p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) solvent-electrolyte couples. Oxidative polymerization of thiophene functionalized random copolymer was also achieved by constant current electrolysis and chemical polymerization. The characteriza...
Alkyl-end phenanthroimidazole modification of benzotriazole based conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications Cevher, Şevki Can; Keles, Duygu; Hızalan, Gonul; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2018-10-01) A new triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene based copolymer was synthesized to investigate its electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. According to the polymer design, combination of two acceptor units (benzotriazole and quinoxaline) which contribute imine bonds to the structure and a triazoloquinoxaline unit for enhancing electron accepting ability was pursued. As a result of electrochemical studies, the copolymer PTQBDT has a low lying HOMO energy level as −5.23 eV which increases the chem...
