MTV compositions were prepared by keeping the magnesium/Teflon ratio constant and increasing the Viton content of the mixture up to 14% by an increment of 2% to investigate the effect of binder content on the heat of explosion, which is found to increase with the increasing Viton percentage as the magnesium content concomitantly goes down toward the stoichiometric value. In the second part of the study, fuel-rich MTV compositions were prepared by changing the magnesium content and keeping the Viton fraction constant at a specific value to investigate the effect of magnesium content on the heat of explosion and combustion characteristics. The observed general trend is that the heat of explosion of MTV compositions decreases as the magnesium content increases. All the MTV compositions were tested in a closed vessel to measure the maximum pressure achieved and the rate of reaching this pressure. The ignition performance of three selected MTV compositions was examined in 2.75 inch rocket motor by using the same charge of igniter and the same HTPB/AP composite propellant of the equal amount in each test. Two of them have excellent ignition performance and, therefore, can be used as igniter for the HTPB/AP based composite rocket propellants.

Development of polybenzimidazole/graphene oxide composite membranes for high temperature PEM fuel cells Uregen, Nurhan; Pehlivanoglu, Kubra; Ozdemir, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (2017-01-26) In this study, phosphoric acid doped Polybenzimidazole/Graphene Oxide (PBI/GO) nano composite membranes were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of GO in PBI polymer matrix followed by phosphoric acid doping for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) application. The structure of the PBI/GO composite membranes was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of GO into the FBI polymer matri...
Development of Ru0/MO2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, Ce) catalysts for electrocatalytic hydrogen production from water splitting Demir, Elif; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Department of Chemistry (2017) In this study, Ru0/MO2 catalysts were prepared by reduction of ruthenium(III) chloride on different types of metal oxides, which were TiO2, ZrO2, CeO2 and HfO2, then catalysts were loaded on glassy carbon (GC) electrodes at same mass loading level, and used as electrocatalysts in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Characterization of prepared catalysts were done by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy and X...
Studies on device properties of an n-AgIn5Se8/p-Si heterojunction diode KALELİ, Murat; Parlak, Mehmet; Ercelebi, C. (2011-10-12) In this study, polycrystalline thin films of ternary AgIn5Se8 compounds with n-type conductivity were deposited on p-type Si substrates from the powder of a Ag3In5Se9 single crystal by a thermal evaporation technique. Transport and photo-transport properties of the In/n-AgIn5Se8/p-Si/Al sandwich structure were investigated by analyzing temperature-dependent dc current-voltage (I-V), and photo-response measurements carried out in the temperature range of 200-360 K. In order to obtain the series resistance (R...
Development of novel Ag/bauxite nanocomposite as a heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel production Bet-Moushoul, Elsie; Farhadi, Khalil; Mansourpanah, Yaghoub; Molaie, Rahim; Forough, Mehrdad; Nikbakht, Ali Mohammad (2016-07-01) Ag/bauxite nanocomposites have been prepared using in situ reduction of aqueous AgNO3 solution in a bauxite matrix and investigated for the transesterification of sunflower oil with methanol in order to study their potential as heterogeneous catalysts. The prepared nanocopmosites were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, FT-IR, and TG- DTA. The Central Composite Design of the Response Surface Methodology was used to optimize the effect of reaction temperature, reaction time, catalyst loading and methanol to oil ...
Enhanced capacitive behaviour of graphene based electrochemical double layer capacitors by etheric substitution on ionic liquids Siyahjani, Shirin; Oner, Saliha; Diker, Halide; GÜLTEKİN, BURAK; Varlikli, Canan (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) In this study, we report the effect of etheric substituents in imidazolium and ammonium based ionic liquids (IL) on the performance of electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) consisted of gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) electrode. GPEs contain poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluompropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and the ILs. Ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) differ by their length of etheric groups and etheric group contents, respectively. According to the cyclic vo...
