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 loading was kept constant as 2 wt%, and the elastomer content was varied between 0 and 40 wt% throughout the study. MA grafted SBS enhanced the intercalation/exfoliation of clay layers resulting in higher tensile strength, modulus, elongation at break, and impact strength with respect to neat PS. Composites containing 15 wt% MA grafted SBS displayed the optimum average domain size resulting in the high impact strength without deteriorating the tensile strength and modulus values. Elastomer addition increased the glass transition temperature of the samples due to branching or cross-linking during extrusion. PS and PS/SBS exhibited similar melt flow index values with their organoclay-containing composites. MA acted as a plasticizer and decreased viscosity. Scanning electron microscopy study indicated that dispersion of clay layers was observed at the PS-SBS interphase and also in the elastomer phase. Intercalated and exfoliated structures of organoclay layers were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses.

Study of trapping and recombination centres in Tl2InGaTe4 chain crystals by dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity measurements QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) Dark electrical conductivity and photoconductivity of Tl2InGaTe4 single crystals have been measured and analyzed in the temperature region 100-300 K. The dark electrical conductivity measurements revealed an intrinsic- or extrinsic-type of conductivity above or below 210 K, respectively. From intrinsic conductivity data analysis, the energy band gap of Tl2InGaTe4 crystals was determined as 0.85 eV. In the extrinsic region, the dark conductivity arises from a donor energy level located at 0.30 eV below the c...
Enhancement in the high-T-c phase of BSCCO superconductors by Nb addition Sozeri, Huseyin; Ghazanfari, Nader; Ozkan, Husnu; Kilic, Ahmet (IOP Publishing, 2007-06-01) Pure and Nb2O5 added Bi1.6Pb0.4Nbx Sr2Ca2Cu3O delta superconductors ( x varies up to 0.30) were synthesized by the solid state reaction method. Structural and superconducting properties of the samples were investigated. The fraction of the high-T-c phase ( 2223) increases with Nb addition up to x = 0.10, for which a nearly single 2223 phase was obtained. The critical temperature of the samples increases from 96 to 104 K with doping up to x = 0.20 and a further increase in Nb decreases the Tc sharply. Simila...
The structural, electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of perovskite oxides PbM1/2Nb1/2O3 (M = Fe, Co and Ni) ERKİŞİ, AYTAÇ; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; DELİGÖZ, ENGİN (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt; 2018-03-10) In this study, the structural, electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of perovskite oxides PbM1/2Nb1/2O3 (M = Fe, Co and Ni) are investigated. The systems are treated in ferromagnetic order. The calculations are carried out in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) within the plane-wave pseudopotential method. The exchange-correlation potential is approximated by generalized-gradient spin approach (GGA). The intra-atomic Coulomb repulsion is also taken into account in calculations (GGA+U)...
Determination of the influence of TiO2 on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic by ultrasonic velocity measurements Gür, Cemil Hakan; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2005-11-15) The influence of small amount (1 or 2 wt%) of TiO2 additions and crystallization heat treatment on the elastic properties of a mica based glass ceramic have been investigated by ultrasonic velocity measurements. The mica based glass ceramic was prepared through controlled crystallization of a glass in the SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O and F system. Evidences of TiO2 acting as a nucleating agent in this system was demonstrated. The longitudinal and transversal wave velocities of the as-prepared glass and the mi...
Evolution of magnetic and structural properties of TiO2 with Co-doping Topal, Ugur; Ozkan, Husnu; Bakan, Halil I.; Cankur, Oktay; Topal, Kevser (Elsevier BV, 2008-03-15) This paper presents the phase formations and magnetic properties of Co-doped TiO2 synthesized by the colloidal and ammonium nitrate melt techniques (ANMT). The phase formations and ferromagnetic properties were studied with XRD and SQUID magnetometry. Crystallization of the TiO2 rutile lattice was completed at 1000 degrees C and that was preserved during annealing up to 1300 degrees C. For the samples annealed at 1200 degrees C, elemental analysis has shown that the colloidal technique leads to a single-pha...
