Nanopowder suspensions exhibit much higher viscosities compared to micron size powders. The current viscosity models greatly underestimate the viscosity of nanopowder suspensions and hence are inaccurate. Recently, it was shown that a bound water layer around the particles is partially responsible for the high viscosities of alumina nanopowder suspensions. In the present study, the existence and effect of the bound water layer on suspension viscosity has been validated for other oxide systems such as zirconia, yttria stabilized zirconia and titania. The water melting events were studied by low-temperature differential scanning calorimetry (LT-DSC) to investigate the nature of the bound water and how it varied by different oxide systems. Onset of the bound water for these oxides varied from -1 to -7 degrees C. The variation in melting behavior of bound water was related to the presence of charged species in solution and gel-like hydroxide formation. The bound water content was estimated and incorporated into a modified Krieger-Dougherty (K-D) equation. The modified equation was employed to interpret the experimental data. Intrinsic viscosity values were estimated as 11.6,.6.6, 5.1 and 3.1 at a shear rate of 50 s(-1) for alumina, titania, zirconia and YSZ, respectively. Increasing shear rate predicted lower intrinsic viscosity values. Modified K-D equation could predict the suspension viscosity much better than the other available models in literature while distinguishing the differences between oxide systems.

Influence of ground perlite on the hydration and strength development of calcium aluminate cement mortars Şengül, Kemal; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2021-01-10) © 2020 Elsevier LtdCalcium aluminate cement (CAC) concretes are desirable owing to their rapid strength development and resistance to high temperatures, sulfates and acids. They suffer two drawbacks, however, high cost and strength loss due to conversion of water-rich hydration products to more stable structures, resulting in a drop in strength. Although its rate is dependent on temperature and moisture, the conversion process is thermodynamically inevitable but can be prevented by adding sufficient quantit...
Effect of fiber and resin types on mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced composite pipe Gokce, Neslihan; Yılmazer, Ülkü; SUBAŞI, SERKAN (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2019-09-01) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the types of fiber and resin on the mechanical properties of polyester composite pipes. Orthophthalic, isophthalic and vinyl ester resins were used as the matrix; E-glass, electrical/chemical resistance (ECR)-glass and basalt fibers were used as reinforcement; and 98% silica (SiO2) sand was used as filler in mixtures. Samples were produced by the centrifugal casting method. Samples cut from the produced pipes were tested to determine stiffness and longitu...
Effects of glass fiber content, 3D-printing and weathering on the performance of polylactide Varsavaş, Sakine Deniz; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) The purpose of the first part of this thesis was to investigate how optimum mechanical properties (strength-modulus-toughness) of inherently very brittle polylactide (PLA) could be obtained by reinforcing with E-glass fibers (GF) and blending with thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). Composites and blends were compounded by twin-screw extruder melt mixing, while specimens were shaped by injection molding. SEM analyses revealed that 15 wt% GF reinforcements and 10 wt% TPU domains, alone or together, c...
Effect of TiH2 particle size on foaming of aluminium Kubilay, Ceylan; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2005) A study is carried out on the production of aluminum foams via powder processing. The study deals mainly with the effect of TiH2 particle size on the process of foaming. Mainly two TiH2 particle sizes were used; namely 27,5 ?m and 8,5 ?m. Foaming experiments were carried out at temperatures between 675oC ا 840oC. The viscosity of the system is adjusted by controlled addition of Al2O3. The study shows that choice of foaming agent size is influential in the foaming process. With the use of fine foaming agent,...
Combined effect of fructose and NaCl on the viscosity of alumina nanopowder suspensions Çınar, Simge; Akinc, Mufit (2015-01-01) Many ceramic processing operations involving powder suspensions aim to optimize the solids loading while maintaining low viscosity. Use of nanopowder suspensions are challenging as they exhibit unexpectedly high viscosities. Low molecular weight saccharides were added to decrease the viscosities of alumina nanopowder suspensions as they modify effective solids content. It was also recently reported that suspensions with very low ionic strengths exhibit lower viscosities as they create high repulsive barrier...
