Rheological characterization of TiO2 nanoparticle dispersions in polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) is presented over 1-10 wt% particle mass fraction range in terms of shear viscosity, thixotropy and linear viscoelasticity. A stress controlled rheometer fitted by a cone-and-plate system was employed for the rheological measurements between -10 degrees C and 40 degrees C. The non-linear viscoelastic experiments revealed that TiO2-PEG 200 nanofluid exhibits a shear thinning behavior when particle mass fraction exceeds 1%. No appreciable change in the shear viscosity versus shear rate behavior was detected over the course of four days of dispersion storage. At high particle concentrations the dispersions had a yield stress that was determined by fitting the results through Herschel-Bukley model. Within the studied range of particle concentration, no evidence of thixotropic behavior was observed. In addition, relative viscosity measured at high shear region was found to be independent of the temperature. On the other hand, strong temperature dependency was observed at low shear region particularly at high temperatures. Storage and loss moduli of the TiO2-PEG 200 nanofluid were determined by frequency sweep measurements with applied stresses in the linear viscoelastic region. It was found that when the applied stress is lower than the corresponding yield stress TiO2-PEG 200 nanofluid showed a gel structure especially at high particle mass concentration.

Thermal decomposition of polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) coordinated to co nanoparticles Elmaci, Ayşegül; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kayran, Ceyhan; Sakellariou, Georgios; Hadjichristidis, Nikos (2009-11-01) Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry analyses of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridne), PS-b-P2VP, indicated that the thermal degradation of each component occurred independently through the decomposition pathways proposed for the corresponding homopolymers; depolymerization for PS and depolymerization and loss of protonated oligomers for P2VP by a more complex degradation mechanism. On the other hand, upon coordination to cobalt nanoparticles, thermal decomposition of the P2VP blocks was initiated by loss o...
Surface energy and excess charge in (1x2)-reconstructed rutile TiO2(110) from DFT plus U calculations Unal, Hatice; METE, ERSEN; Ellialtıoğlu, Süleyman Şinasi (2011-09-09) Physically reasonable electronic structures of reconstructed rutile TiO2(110)-(1x2) surfaces were studied using density functional theory (DFT) supplemented with Hubbard U on-site Coulomb repulsion acting on the d electrons, the so called DFT + U approach. Two leading reconstruction models proposed by Onishi and Iwasawa [Surf. Sci. Lett. 313, 783 (1994)] and Park and coworkers [Phys. Rev. B 75, 245415 (2007)] were compared in terms of their thermodynamic stabilities.
Rheological characterization of tahin/pekmez (sesame paste/concentrated grape juice) blends Arslan, Elif; Esin, Ali; Yener, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2003) The aim of this study was to determine the rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Samples were sheared with seven different rotational speeds at an increasing order. The shear rates (0.75-63.9 s-1) were calculated by the Power-law Approximation method. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. T...
Experimental investigation of drag reduction effects of polymer additives on turbulent pipe flow using ultrasound Doppler velocimetry Zeybek Vural, Serife; Bayram, Göknur; Uludağ, Yusuf (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2014-01-01) Drag reduction in fully developed turbulent pipe flow with 4 concentrations (200 to 500 wppm or mg/kg) of low molecular weight sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in aqueous solutions was investigated experimentally. Drag reduction was determined by pressure drop measurements. Maximum drag reduction achieved was 22% using 500 wppm CMC solution. To observe the impact of the presence of CMC on the flow, ultrasound Doppler velocimetry (UDV) was employed to monitor the instantaneous velocity distributions. Expe...
Thermal degradation of Polylactide/Poly(ethylene glycol) fibers and composite fibers involving organoclay Ozdemir, Esra; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2018-01-01) In this study, electrospun fibers of melt blended poly(lactic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol), (PLA)-PEG blends involving 10, 15 and 20 wt% PEG and their corresponding composites with organically modified montmorillonite, Cloisite 30B were prepared and characterized by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. The narrower fiber diameters observed for the PLA-PEG fibers involving organoclay compared to the corresponding neat fib...
