Transition metal carbides are versatile materials for diverse industrial applications including catalysis, where their relatively low cost is very attractive. In this work, we present a rather extensive density functional theory study on the energetics of adsorption of a selection of atomic and molecular species on two Mo terminations of the CdI2 antitype phase of Mo2C. Moreover, the coadsorption of CO in the presence of preadsorbed metal atoms and its dissociative adsorption in the absence and presence of preadsorbed Pt and K were investigated. By using CO as a probe to understand the structural/electronic effects of the preadsorption of the metal atoms on the Mo2C(001) surface, we showed that K further enhances CO adsorption/activation on the surface, in contrast to the precious metals considered. Moreover, it was observed that the presence of both Pt and K stabilizes the transition state for the C-O bond dissociation, lowering the activation barrier for the dissociation of the C-O bond by about 0.3 and 0.4 eV, respectively.

Bozkurt, Mirac Onur; Bilge, Kaan; Papila, Melih; Çöker, Demirkan (null; 2017-09-20)
Out-of-autoclave(ooA)treatments in composite manufacturing draw the attention ofmanufacturers anddesigners in aerospace industry by offering numerous advantages over the traditional autoclave processing. Besides, thin ply non crimp fabric (TPNCF) architecture is proven for improved delamination resistance and fracture toughness. The objective of the study is comparingthe bending strength of flat and curved beams of TPNCF [0/45] and Unidirectional (UD)[0/45] aut...
Role of Laminate Thickness on Sequential Dynamic Delamination of Curved [90/0] CFRP Composite Laminates
Uyar, Imren; Tasdemir, B.; Yavas, D.; Çöker, Demirkan (2016-06-09)
In aerospace industry, high demand for the lightweight structures are fostering the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites in a wide variety of shapes, as primary load carrying elements. However, once a composite laminate takes a highly curved shape, such as an L-shape, interlaminar stresses augmented in the curved region cause highly dynamic delamination nucleation and propagation. This paper provides experimental observations of dynamic delamination failure in cross-plied L-shaped composite lam...
Effects of hollow glass microsphere density and surface modification on the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) syntactic foams
ÖZKUTLU DEMİREL, MERVE; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Bayram, Göknur (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-15)
Syntactic foams offer low density polymers for insulation and transportation applications with the advantage of having high mechanical properties. In this study, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) syntactic foams were produced with three different types of hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) as low, medium and high density. It was observed that the density of the syntactic foams was in inverse ratio to the strength properties of the syntactic foams. The lowest measured syntactic foam density was obtained with th...

Ferritic alloys are important for nuclear reactor applications due to their microstructural stability, corrosion resistance, and favorable mechanical properties. Nanostructured ferritic alloys having a high density of Y-Ti-O rich nano-oxides (NOs < 5 nm) are found to be extremely stable at high temperatures up to similar to 1100 degrees C. This study serves to understand the effect of a high density of nano-particles on texture evolution and recrystallization mechanisms in ferritic alloys of 14YWT (14Cr-3W-...
