Two types of terpolymers, maleic anhydride (MA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) functionalized, are used as compatibilizer in low-density polyethylenewood flour composites. The type and amount of compatibilizer on the tensile, impact, morphological, and water absorption properties of composites are investigated. The effect of preimpregnation with a compatibilizer solution is also studied. The MA functionalized compatibilizer increases the mechanical properties of composites, when it is used either directly or with preimpregnation. GMA functionalized compatibilizer is not as effective as MA functionalized compatibilizer giving rise to small improvements in properties. An important point is doubling of the modulus with MA preimpregnated compatibilizer. With both compatibilizers the water absorption value of composites are reduced and the preimpregnation with both compatibilizers do not change the total amount of absorbed water with respect to the non-preimpregnated ones.

Reactive processing of styrene-maleic anhydride and epoxy functionalized polymer blends
Bayram, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Xanthos, M (1999-05-06)
The reaction of styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) with polyethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) was studied in a batch mixer and in a corotating twin screw extruder. Also, the mixing of a nonreactive blend of SMA with polyethylene/methyl acrylate (E-MA), with similar rheological properties to E-MAG-MA, was studied under the same processing conditions. The mixing products of reactive and nonreactive systems exhibited drastically different properties. Reactive blends showed higher tensile mo...
Use of purified and modified bentonites in linear low-density polyethylene/organoclay/compatibilizer nanocomposites
Seyidoglu, Tijen; Yılmazer, Ülkü (2012-05-05)
Polyethylene-based ternary nanocomposites were prepared with different clay structures, obtained by the modification of purified Resadiye bentonite as the reinforcement, a random terpolymer of ethylene, butyl acrylate, and maleic anhydride with the trade name Lotader3210 as the compatibilizer, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) as the polymer matrix in an intensive batch mixer. The quaternary ammonium/phosphonium salts used for the modification of bentonite were dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium (DMDA) ...
Development of nanofiber based active packaging material by electrospinning technique and food validation
Aydoğdu, Ayça; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
The main objective of this study was to encapsulate gallic acid in Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and legume flours (lentil and pea) based nanofiber by electrospinning and to examine the usage of nanofibers as active packaging materials. Firstly, HPMC based homogenous nanofibers were fabricated and it was observed that the morphology of the fibers changed from the beaded structure to the uniform fiber structure by increasing the concentrations of the solutions. By choosing optimum HPMC concentration, ...
USE OF TIME DOMAIN (TD) AND FAST FIELD CYCLING (FFC) NMR RELAXOMETRY TO DESIGN AND CHARACTERIZE SOFT CANDY PRODUCTS
Poçan, Pelin; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Mert, Behiç; Department of Food Engineering (2021-8-20)
Confectionary gels are considered as composite gel systems consisting of high amount of sugar and gelling agents such as gelatin or starch. Production of low-calorie soft confectionery products has been the interest of the industry in recent years. D‐allulose is classified as one of the rare sugar; sugars which are found in rare amounts in nature. It is a C‐3 epimer of fructose and has 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with much less caloric value of 0.39 kcal/g compared to common sugars. Utilization of D‐all...
