Stereoregular polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) by bis-dimethylaluminum oxide (BMAO) was studied. It is found that at 80 degrees C a relatively high initial rate of the process rapidly dies away. Hy measuring and identifying the evolved by-product gases of the polymerization it was concluded that the decay of the rate is due to the transfer of a proton from the methyl (Me) group of PO, to the Me-Al groups of BMAO, by forming an aluminium allylalkoxide bond and a methane molecule. However, this transformation (and also the alcoholysis of Me groups of BMAO with several alcohols) apparently increases the stereoregular yield of the process. The polymerization process as well as the ionization of BMAO and the transport properties of ions were studied in Be presence and absence of solvents, additives and monomer. Although BMAO extensively ionizes in the polymerization solution, the stereoregular yield of process increases as the dielectric constant of the media decreases. On the basis of present data the mechanism of polymerization was discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Polymerization of propylene oxide and copolymerization of carbon disulphide and propylene oxide with xanthate salts Aksoy, S.; Balkan, M.; Alyürük, K. (Elsevier BV, 1989-1) Anionic polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) using several xanthate salts was studied. Low molecular weight oily polymers with variable sulphur content were obtained by using either potassium ethyl xanthate or potassium benzyl xanthate. The highest attainable conversion of PO was limited to ca 10%. The polymerization was accompanied by formation and precipitation of a by-product salt. In the presence of CS2, an oily copolymer with about 40% sulphur was obtained from the above mixtures. In reaction systems...
Fractionation of partially stereoregular poly(propylene oxide) Alyürük, K.; Özden, T.; Colak, N. (Elsevier BV, 1986-12) Partially stereoregular poly(propylene oxide) samples were synthesized via reactions catalysed by a preformed analytically defined trimethylaluminium hydrolysate. These samples were fractionated into two contrastingly different fractions. 1. (i) D-polymers: This fraction constituted the major part (up to 90%). It mainly contained cyclic low molecular weight oligomers (MW < 1000). The linear chains found in D-polymers had hydroxyl end groups. No double bonds could be detected spectroscopically. 2. (ii)...
Stereoregularity of fractionally crystallized poly(propylene oxide) samples by 13C-NMR spectroscopy Alyürük, K.; Alyürük, Kemal (Wiley, 1989-4) Several stereoregular poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) samples were synthesized employing either trimethyl aluminum hydrolyzates or Pruitt–Baggett type catalysts. Dilute isooctane solutions of these samples were fractionally crystallized by stepwise cooling from 333 K down to 273 K. The fractions which dissolve at 273 K were noncrystallizable and were further fractionated by GFC. The isolated fractions were characterized by 13C‐NMR, DSC, and viscometry techniques. Both structural (head‐to‐head and tail‐to‐tail l...
Direct synthesis of Mg-Ni compounds from their oxides Tan, Serdar; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Öztürk, Tayfur; Karakaya, İshak (2010-08-13) A study was carried out on the synthesis of Mg-Ni compounds as well as on the extraction of pure Ni and Mg from their oxides using the method of electro-deoxidation. The oxides sintered at 1200 degrees C were in the form of discrete phases NiO and MgO, suitably proportioned to yield Ni, MgNi2, Mg2Ni and Mg. The oxides were electrolyzed at 3.2 V in a eutectic mixture of CaCl2-NaCl solution maintained at a constant temperature (900-600 degrees C), using a graphite anode. The study has shown that NiO rich mixt...
Hydrothermal zinc oxide nanowire growth using zinc acetate dihydrate salt AKGUN, Mehmet Can; Kalay, Yunus Eren; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2012-06-01) Hydrothermal approach is widely used for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate, zinc acetate and zinc chloride are three common salts that are used for synthesis. Among these, zinc nitrate hexahydrate is primarily used in many studies and zinc chloride is preferred for electrodeposition. In this work, zinc acetate dihydrate salt is used for the growth of ZnO nanowires and the effects of time, temperature, solution concentration and concentration ratios of the precursor chemic...
