Low temperature (25 degrees C-80 degrees C) synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (<20 nm) at short synthesis periods (similar to 30 min) was achieved by precipitation. The precipitation system was formed using zinc acetate dihydrate as zinc source, ethylene glycol (EG) as solvent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as chelating agent. The size of spherical ZnO nanoparticles was manipulated by the choice of precipitation temperature (13.0 +/- 1.9 nm at 25 degrees C and 9.0 +/- 1.3 nm at 80 degrees C), which essentially changes the nature of adsorption events between ZnO crystals and organic molecules. The particle size can also be regulated by the amount of chelating agent as a result of further enhancement in adsorption between ZnO crystals and organic additives. The spherical ZnO nanoparticles were agglomerated into triangular form when different solvent was used - by substituting water for EG, which has different adsorption ability. Accordingly, formation and growth mechanisms controlling the size and morphology of ZnO nanoparticles have been proposed.

Effect of temperature and membrane preparation parameters on gas permeation properties of polymethacrylates Guelmues, Serguel Acikalin; Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 2007-11-15) Permeabilities of N-2, Ar, O-2, CO2, and H-2 gases in PEMA (Polyethylmethaerylate) membranes have been measured above and below glass transition in the temperature range of 25-70 degrees C. The permeabilities of the gases were observed increasing with temperature. Arrhenius plot of permeability versus temperature data showed that there is a slope discontinuity at near to T-g of PEMA. In addition, the effects of membrane preparation parameters by solvent casting method (percentage of polymer in solvent, anne...
Effect of heat treatment on nickel manganite thin film thermistors deposited by electron beam evaporation Parlak, Mehmet; Hogan, M.J.; Brinkman, A.W. (1999-05-21) Thin ®lms of nickel manganite were deposited onto different substrates by means of electron beam evaporation from a powder source of the compound and annealed at 500 and 6008C for 30 min. in air, oxygen or nitrogen to study the effects of annealing temperature and atmosphere on the structure and properties of grown thin ®lms. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy were used to con®rm the formation of nickel manganite; the integrity of the ®lms and their elemental compositions were assessed using a scan...
Effect of Gas Diffusion Layer Characteristics and Addition of Pore-Forming Agents on the Performance of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells Senguel, Erce; Erkan, Serdar; Eroğlu, İnci; BAÇ, NURCAN (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The performance of five layer membrane electrode assemblies having different characteristics of gas diffusion layers was determined at 70 degrees C cell temperature and ambient pressure. The maximum power density at 0.6 V was 0.36 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with the gas diffusion layer having minimum thickness (SGL BC 30 type). On the other hand, the maximum power density at 0.5 V was 0.44 W/cm(2) for the membrane electrode assembly prepared with SGL BC 34 type gas diffusion layer....
Effect of flaxseed gum addition on rheological properties of native maize starch Wang, Yong; Wang, Li-Jun; Li, Dong; Özkan, Necati; Chen, Xiao Dong; Mao, Zhi-Huai (2008-11-01) Both small amplitude oscillatory and steady shear measurements were carried out at 25 degrees C, 50 degrees C, and 75 degrees C in order to determine the theological properties of the mixtures of flaxseed gum (0.1-0.5%) and native maize starch (3%). It was found that the apparent viscosities of the samples increased with the increasing of flaxseed gum concentration. The apparent viscosities of the samples were fitted well to the power law model (the values of R-2 were between 0.954 and 0.999). The consisten...
Effect of calcium carbonate addition on carbothermic formation of hexagonal boron nitride ÇAMURLU, HASAN ERDEM; SEVİNÇ, NACİ; Topkaya, Yavuz Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) Effect of CaCO3 on formation of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was investigated by holding CaCO3 free and CaCO3 added activated carbon-boric oxide mixtures under nitrogen atmosphere at 1500 degrees C for 30-120 min. Amount of CaCO3 addition was varied in the range of 0-50 wt.% of the initial mixture. Products were characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR analysis, quantitative chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy and BET specific surface area analysis. It was observed that calcium carb...
