Pyrrole was grafted on poly[(methyl methacrylate)-co-(2-(N-pyrrolyl) ethyl methacrylate)] (PMMA-co-PEMA) using constant potential electrolyses. The thermal stability of PMMA-co-PEMA was improved as a result of electrochemical grafting with pyrrole. The electrochemical behavior of the films was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Pyrrole was found to be electroactive on PMMA-co-PEMA electrodes.

Electrically conductive polymers from poly(N-vinylimidazole)
Kucukyavuz, Z; Kucukyavuz, S; Abbasnejad, N (1996-07-01)
Poly(N-vinylimidazole) was synthesized by free radical polymerization. It was quaternized with methyl iodide. The samples were doped with iodine and borontrifluoride. Products were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The maximum electrical conductivities achieved were 10(-4) S cm(-1) for BF3-doped and for I-2-doped QPVI. The decrease of electrical conductivity in open atmosphere with time was also studied to understa...
Thermal analysis of a new thiophene derivative and its copolymer
Aslan, E.; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2008-06-01)
Thermal characteristics of a new thiophene derivative, 2-(thiophen-3-yl-)ethyl octanoate (OTE), its homopolymer (POTE), and copolymer with thiophene P(OTE-co-Th) were investigated via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Thermal degradation of the copolymer started by lose of side chains and thiophene involving products evolved almost in the same temperature range where PTh degradation was detected, at slightly higher temperatures than PTh backbone decomposed during the pyrolysis of POTE. The extent of doping and n...

Balci, Z; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Alkan, S; Bakir, U; Yagci, Y (2002-01-01)
Immobilization of yeast cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) in different polymer matrices was performed by constant potential electrolysis. These matrices were polypyrrole (PPy); poly(methyl methacrylate)/polypyrrole (,PMMA/PPy) and thiophene-capped poly(methyl methacrylate)/ polypyrrole (TPMMA/PPy). The characterization of PMMA/PPy copolymer was achieved by Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The invertase activity of...
Conducting block copolymers of thiophene-capped poly(methyl methacrylate) with pyrrole and their uses in immobilization of enzymes
Alkan, Selmiye; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Chemistry (2002)
Conducting block copolymers of thiophene capped poly (methyl methacrylate) with pyrrole were synthesized via electrochemical methods. Two types of poly (methyl methacrylate) having thiophene moiety at one end were previously synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and they were utilized as the insulating polymer matrices for the synthesis of copolymers. Thiophene ended 4,4'Azobis (4-cyano 3-thiphenemethyl pentanate) (ACTMP) was synthesized from 3-thiophenemethanol and 4,4Azobis (4-cyanope...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLAMIDE BY DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER
HACIOGLU, B; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 1989-10-01)
Electroinitiated polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in acetonitrile–tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate by electrolytic reduction of monomer. It was shown by cyclic voltammetry that direct electron transfer from the cathode to the monomer can be achieved in this solvent–electrolyte system. Reduction peak potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry indicated that sodium salts will interfere with such a mechanism. Since the reduction peak potential of sodium salt and dimethylformamide are found to be lowe...
