A simple route for the preparation of nanoscopic metallic line patterns from functional block copolymers (BCPs) containing poly (2-vinylpyridine) or poly (methyl methacrylate) blocks is demonstrated. The time evolution of the surface morphologies of BCP thin films exposed to solvent vapors is studied to optimize the conditions for generating BCP microdomains oriented parallel or normal to the substrate. BCP templates are prepared by film. reconstruction or by removal of one of the copolymer microdomains, depending on the properties of the functional BCPs. Finally, metallic line patterns are prepared by either electrochemical etching or direct metal deposition and lift-off processes using the BCP templates.

Kurt, Lütfiye; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2006)
Foam separation is a simple and economic method for separation of surface-active molecules such as proteins and enzymes from aqueous solutions. In this study, lactic acid broth, spent brewer’s yeast extract and residual beer was used to investigate the applicability and efficiency of foam separation technique in partial purification of fermentation products and recovery of valuable components from industrial waste streams. The effects of the process variables initial feed concentration, air flow rate, foami...

Ucan, Didem; Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; KARATAŞ, YUNUS; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2014-10-01)
An amperometric glucose biosensor was prepared successfully based on a conducting polymer, poly(4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-y1)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly( SNS-NH2)) and a flexible hydrophilic polyphosphazene polymer, poly[(methoxyethoxy)ethoxy-co-3-formylphenoxy]phosphazene (PPA). Poly( SNS-NH2) was electrochemically polymerized on a graphite electrode to achieve a conducting immobilization matrix to improve the enzyme immobilization on the transducer surface. Moreover, to strengthen the immobilization, a ...
Production of B4C Coatings by CVD Method in a Dual Impinging-Jet Reactor: Chemical Yield, Morphology, and Hardness Analysis
Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Oezbelge, H. Oender (Wiley, 2009-11-01)
beta-rhombohedral boron carbide (B4C) was deposited on a tungsten substrate from a BCl3-H-2-CH4 gas mixture in a dual impinging-jet chemical vapor deposition reactor. On-line FTIR analysis of the product stream proved the formation of BHCl2 and HCl as by products, in a competing parallel reaction. A maximum of 13% chemical yield of boron carbide was observed, and the yield was found to have increasing trend with an increase in temperature. XRD analysis proved the existence of rhombohedral B4C phase at 1300 ...
Purification and modification of bentonite and its use in polypropylene and linear low density polyethylene matrix nanocomposites
Seyidoğlu, Tijen; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
The potential use of Reşadiye/Tokat bentonite as a reinforcement in polypropylene (PP) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) polymer matrix nanocomposites filler was investigated. At first, organoclays (OC) were prepared by cation exchange reaction (CER) between the raw bentonite (RB) and three quaternary ammonium salts with long alkyl tails (QA): hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide [HMA] [Br], tetrabutyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate [TBA] [BF4], tetrakisdecyl ammonium bromide [TKA] [Br] and one quater...

Wang, Xiaoguang; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Miller, Daniel S; Pantoja, Marco A. Bedolla; Xiang, Jie; Lavrentovich, Oleg D; Abbott, Nicholas L (Wiley, 2016-10-25)
It is demonstrated that aqueous dispersions of micrometer-sized liquid crystal (LC) droplets provide the basis of a general and facile methodology for the templated synthesis of spherical and nonspherical polymeric micro-particles with complex internal structure and porosity. Specifically, nematic droplets of reactive (RM257)/nonreactive mesogens with distinct internal configurations are prepared using a range of approaches, the reactive mesogens are photopolymerized, and then the nonreactive mesogens are e...
