The objective of this study is to compare the mechanical properties, structure and degradability of the nanocomposites prepared with tubular nanofillers, halloysite (HNT) and carbon nanotube (CNT) in poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) toughened PLA (T-PLA) matrices. In the PLA matrix, CNT increased, whereas HNT decreased the tensile strength with increasing filler content. Also, the elongation at break and impact strength decreased with increasing CNT content, but these properties were relatively unchanged with increasing HNT content. However, when (TPU) was used as an impact modifier-compatibilizer, addition of HNT further increased the impact strength and the elongation at break of the matrix, since short and straight HNT fibers were pulled out from the extensible, toughened matrix. The long and curvy CNT fillers always caused brittle fracture and affected the impact strength and elongation at break in a negative manner as the CNT content was increased. Both types of fillers did not significantly influence the degradation of PLA or toughened PLA matrices. (C) 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers

Kinetics of polyurethane formation between glycidyl azide polymer and a triisocyanate Keskin, S; Özkar, Saim (Wiley, 2001-07-25) Kinetics of the polyurethane formation between glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and a polyisocyanate, Desmodur N-100, were studied in the bulk state by using quantitative FTIR spectroscopy. The reaction was followed by monitoring the change in intensity of the absorption band at 2270 cm-l for NCO stretching in the IR spectrum, and was shown to obey second-order kinetics up to 50% conversion. The activation parameters were obtained from the evaluation of kinetic data at different temperatures in the range of 50-...
Thermal characterization of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and GAP-based binders for composite propellants Selim, K; Özkar, Saim; Yılmaz, Levent (Wiley, 2000-07-18) Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the thermal behavior of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and GAP-based binders, which are of potential interest for the development of high-performance energetic propellants. The glass transition temperature (T-g) and decomposition temperature (T-d) of pure GAP were found to be -45 and 242 degrees C, respectively. The energy released during decomposition (Delta H-d) was measured as 485 cal/g. The effect of th...
Synthesis, electrochromic characterization and solar cell application of thiophene bearing alternating copolymers with azobenzene and coumarin subunits Kalay, Hüseyin; Yiğit, Deniz; Hizalan, Gonul; Güllü, Mustafa; Depci, Tolga; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacioglu, Serife O. (Informa UK Limited, 2020-08-01) In this study, azobenzene and coumarin functionalized thiophene comprising two copolymers (poly (4-((3"'-hexyl-[2,2 ':5 ',2 '':5 '',2"'-tetrathiophene] - 3 '-yl)methoxy) - 2H-chromen-2-one (P1) and poly (1-(4-((4"'-hexyl-[2,2 ': 5 ', 2 '': 5 '', 2"' - tetrathiophene] - 3 '-yl) methoxy) phenyl) -2-phenyldiazene) (P2)), were designed and synthesized according to the donor-acceptor (D-A) approach to investigate their electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. Among the various copolymerization method...
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...
Comparison of Polyamide 66-Organoclay Binary and Ternary Nanocomposites Mert, Miray; Yılmazer, Ülkü (Wiley, 2009-09-01) Polyamide 66-Lotader (R) 2210 blends (95/5 w/w), polyamide 66-Cloisite (R) 15A binary nanocomposites (98/2 w/w), and polyamide 66-Lotader (R) 2210-Cloisite (R) 15A ternary nanocomposites (93/5/2 w/w) were prepared by twin-screw extrusion, and the changes in mechanical properties, morphology, and flow properties of the materials prepared by different mixing sequences were investigated in this study. Lotader (R) 2210, which is a random terpolymer of ethylene, butyl acrylate, and maleic anhydride, was used as ...
