Performance of carbon black reinforced elastomers strongly depend on the adhesion at the filler-matrix interface. Surface characteristics of carbon blacks can be changed by use of a number of different techniques each with certain advantages and disadvantages and as regards to these, plasma surface modification is a novel one. This study aims to check the limits of applicability of plasma surface modification of carbon black to be used in the tire manufacturing industry. For this purpose, RF range cold plasma has been utilized in styrene or butadiene atmospheres. Tensile strengths and percent elongations of vulcanizates are found to respond differently if modified fillers are used as compared with those prepared by the unmodified fillers. Glass transition temperatures of vulcanizates are found to correlate well with the results of mechanical properties. Findings are also supported by the SEM pictures.

Realization of neutral state green polymeric materials Durmuş, Asuman; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2009) Polymeric electrochromic materials that has as one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue) in the neutral form and become transparent via oxidation (or reduction), has a crucial importance towards use of these materials in electrochromic devices and displays. To reflect red or blue color in neutral state, the materials have to absorb at only one dominant wavelength. On the contrary, to have a green color, there should exist at least two simultaneous absorption bands in the red and blue regi...
A Study of Crystallization in Plasma Modified Polypropylene Mansuroglu, Dogan; Mecit, Giray; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit (2019-01-01) A capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasma discharge is used to improve the surface properties of Polypropylene. The changes in the surfaces are investigated for various plasma discharge parameters. After the plasma modification, the polypropylene material transforms into a para-crystalline form and shows the properties of the monoclinic crystals dominantly, observed using the X-ray diffraction measurements. The results indicate significant improvements in the crystallinity after the plasma exposure. The...
Design and construction of a coating reactor for R.F. thermal plasma system Yıldırım, Hatice Gözde; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2017) Thermal plasma is a common method of surface coatings applied in a number of applications; aerospace, automotive and medical. Among them, medical application is probably the most critical as the coating should satisfy a number of requirements. Although D.C. plasma is the most common method used in coatings in general, R.F. plasma has its advantages, namely an extremely clean deposition condition as no electrode is involved in the process. In this study, a coating reactor was designed and constructed which c...
Effect of carbon nanotube surface treatment on the morphology, electrical, and mechanical properties of the microfiber-reinforced polyethylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate)/carbon nanotube composites Yesil, Sertan; Bayram, Göknur (2013-01-15) The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of carbon nanotube (CNT) chemical properties, CNT content, and molding temperature on the morphology, electrical, and mechanical properties of the microfiber-reinforced polymer composites. These composites were prepared by extrusion and hot stretching the poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/CNT phase in high density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. Surfaces of the CNT were modified by purification with strong acid mixture (HNO3 : H2SO4 mixture 1 : 1 by volume) f...
The use of gold and silver nanoparticles for surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) of Dyes Öztürk, Tacettin; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Chemistry (2010) This study focuses on preparing surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) substrates for use in the enhancement of the emission signal of rhodamine B and fluorescein dyes. Fluorescence spectroscopy has been widely utilized owing to its high sensitivity. SEF is a process where the interactions of fluorophores with the localized surface plasmons of metal nanoparticles results in fluorescence enhancement, increased photostability and rates of system radiative decay which leads to a decreased lifetime. One of the mos...
