Novel polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-co-poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA) copolymers at three different compositions (8,12, and 16 mol % PHEA) and their homopolymers were synthesized systematically by emulsion polymerization. Their chemical structures and compositions were elucidated by Fourier transform infrared, H-1-NMR, and C-13-NMR spectroscopy. Intrinsic viscosity measurements revealed that the molecular weights of the copolymers were quite enough to form ductile films. The influence of the molar fraction of hydroxyethl acrylate on the glass-transition temperature (T-g) and mechanical properties was demonstrated by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile test results, respectively. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis of copolymers was performed to investigate the degradation mechanism. The swelling behaviors and densities of the free-standing copolymer films were also evaluated. This study showed that one can tailor the hydrogel properties, mechanical properties, and T-g's of copolymers by changing the monomer feed ratios. On the basis of our findings, PAN-co-PHEA copolymer films could be useful for various biomaterial applications requiring good mechanical properties, such as ophthalmic and tissue engineering and also drug and hormone delivery.

Conducting Polymer Composites of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Filled Doped Polyaniline Yilmaz, Faris; Kucukyavuz, Zuhal (Wiley, 2009-01-15) A multiwalled carbon nanotube (c-MWNT)/polyaniline (PANI) composite was synthesized by an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization process. With the carbon nanotube loading increased from 0 to 30 wt %,, the conductivity also increased and became weakly temperature-dependent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies showed that the synthesis by an in situ process led to effective site-selective interactions between the quinoid ring of the PANI and the multiwalled nanotubes, facilitating charge-transf...
Conducting polymer composites: Polypyrrole and poly(vinyl chloride vinyl acetate) copolymer Balci, N; Bayramli, E; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 1997-04-25) Composites of a polypyrrole (PPy) and poly(vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate) copolymer (PVC-PVA) were prepared both chemically and electrochemically. An insulating polymer was retained in the blend and the thermal stability of the polymer was enhanced by polymerizing pyrrole into the host matrix in both cases. The composites prepared electrochemically gave the best results in terms of conductivity and air stability. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Characterization and Electrical Conductivity of Poly(ethylene glycol)/Polyacrylonitrile/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites Aqeel, Salem M.; Kucukyavuz, Zuhal (Wiley, 2011-01-05) Polymer blends based on poly(ethylene glycol), polyacrylonitrile, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by the solvent cast technique from the dispersion of the MWNTs in the concentration range 0-3.45 wt %. The interaction of the MWNTs with the polymer blend was confirmed by a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy study. The thermal properties of the polymer blend with the MWNTs were carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was evident from DSC that the p...
Fused structures in the polymer backbone to investigate the photovoltaic and electrochromic properties of donoracceptor-type conjugated polymers CEVHER, ŞEVKİ CAN; UNLU, Naime Akbasoglu; OZELCAGLAYAN, Ali Can; APAYDIN, Dogukan Hazar; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (Wiley, 2013-05-01) In this study, two new benzotriazole (BTz) and dithienothiophene (DTT) containing conjugated polymers were synthesized. After successful characterizations of the monomers by proton-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and carbon-NMR (13C NMR) techniques, poly(4-(dithieno[3, 2-b:2,3-d]thiophen-2-yl)-2-(2-octyldodecyl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3] triazole) P1 and poly(4-(5-(dithieno[3,2-b:2,3-d]thiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-2-(2-octyldodecyl)-7-(thiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole) P2 were synthesized via a typica...
Electrorheological properties of kaolinite, polyindole, and polyindole/kaolinite composite suspensions Arslan, Yasin; Unal, Halil Ibrahim; Yilmaz, Hasim; Sari, Bekir (Wiley, 2007-06-05) In this study, polyindole (PIN) and polyindole/kaolinite (PIN/KAO) composite were synthesized by free radical polymerization using FeCl3 as an initiator. Average particle sizes (d(50)) of PIN and PIN/KAO composite were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) as 7.2 and 6.2 mu m, respectively. The samples were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, DSC/TGA and SEM measurements. Suspensions of KAO, PIN, and PIN/KAO composite were prepared in silicone oil (SO) and the sedimentation stabilities were de...
