Montmorillonite-rich local bentonite was modified with four different quaternary alkyl salts: hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide ((HMA)(Br)), tetra(kis)decylammonium bromide ((TKA)(Br)), tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate ((TBA)(BF4)), and tetrabutylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate ((TBP)(BF4)) to produce organoclays. The organoclays produced were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results indicate that the d-spacing of the organoclays increased as a consequence of the exchange of Na+ ions in the clay galleries with the cation of the surfactants with long alkyl tails. The d-spacing of the bentonite increased from 1.2nm to 1.78nm, 2.56nm, 1.48nm, and 1.64nm after modification with HMA, TKA, TBA, and TBP cations, respectively. TGA analysis of the organoclays showed that the decomposition temperatures of the organoclays were higher than the melt processing temperature of polypropylene (PP), permitting the use of these organoclays in melt processing of PP. Ternary composites of PP/PP-grafted maleic anhydride/organoclays were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by injection molding for characterization. Transmission electron microscopy analysis of the composites showed intercalated structures as well as microcomposite formations. Mechanical properties of pure PP were improved through ternary composite formation.

Synthesis of aromatic poly(pyridinium salt)s and their electrochromic properties Keshtov, M. L.; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Kochurov, V. S.; Khokhlov, A. R. (Elsevier BV, 2013-05-15) Synthesis of a series of new conjugated electrochromic polymeric pyridinium salts containing main-chain triphenylamine and their electrochromic properties were demonstrated. All polymers exhibit intense UV absorptions at 336-338 nm in DMF and 340-343 nm in thin film form and fluorescence centered at 410-438 nm in DMF and 460-461 nm in thin film form. The electrochromic properties of the films were investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods. Reversible redox signals with stable electr...
Improvement of organoclay dispersion into polystyrene-based nanocomposites by incorporation of SBS and maleic anhydride-grafted SBS Dike, Ali Sinan; Yılmazer, Ülkü (SAGE Publications, 2020-04-01) In this study, organoclay-containing polystyrene (PS)-based nanocomposites were fabricated by extrusion in the presence of thermoplastic elastomer modifiers. Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) rubber was used as the elastomeric compatibilizer and maleic anhydride (MA) was grafted onto SBS rubber at different ratios. Grafting was made via melt blending. Cloisite (R) 30B was used as the organoclay and it was added to PS and PS/SBS blends using a corotating twin-screw extruder, followed by injection molding. Clay...
Synthesis of conducting block and graft copolymers with polyether segments Yagci, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2000-07-01) Synthesis of block and graft copolymers containing polyether and conducting polypyrrole sequences were described. Pyrrole moieties were incorporated at the chain ends of polytetrahydrofuran and polysiloxane and at the side chains of polyethyl vinylether by ionic polymerization and appropriate chemical reactions. Subsequent electropolymerization with pyrrole through these moities yielded free standing films of the corresponding block and graft copolymers. The formation copolymers was evidenced by FTIR spectr...
Synthesis and Characterization of Conducting Copolymers of Bisphenol A-Diglycidyl Ether with Thiophene Side-Groups and Pyrrole Sahmetlioglu, Ertugrul; Varol, Ramazan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yuruk, Huseyin (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Copolymers of bisphenol A-diglycidyl ether with thiophene side-groups and pyrrole were synthesized by electrochemical polymerization. Bisphenol A-diglycidyl ether with thiophene side-groups (DGEBATh) was obtained from the reaction between bisphenol A-diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) and thiophene-3-acetic acid. The syntheses of copolymers of DGEBATh and pyrrole were achieved electrochemically using three different supporting electrolytes, p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and tetrabutylam...
Synthesis of New Thienylene Pyrrole Monomers and Their Electropolymerizations Eken, Serap; Carbas, Buket Bezgin; Akdağ, Akın; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (The Electrochemical Society, 2014-01-01) In this study, four new 2,5-dithienylpyrroles (SNS) 1-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-FPTP), 1-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-ClPTP), 1-(3-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (m-BrPTP) and 1-(4-bromo-phenyl)-2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole (p-BrPTP) containing meta and para substituted benzene ring at the nitrogen atom were synthesized via Paal-Knorr condensation of 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione with corresponding halo-substituted anilines. The mon...
