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 polymer/MWNTs had a high thermal stability. Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the dispersion of the MWNTs in the polymer blend. To measure the electrical conductivity, the four-point probe method was used. The electrical conductivity showed an ionic conductivity on the order of 4.4 x 10(-4) to 1.2 x 10(-2) S/cm. Relative changes in the conductivity with the concentration and temperatures for the samples were analyzed. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 119: 142-147, 2011

Synthesis and characterization of multi-hollow opaque polymer pigments Asmaoglu, Serdar; Gündüz, Güngör; MAVİŞ, BORA; Colak, Uner (Wiley, 2016-08-05) A new generation multihollow opaque polymer pigment was synthesized by suspension polymerization of water-in-oil-in-water emulsion method, where methyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate monomer mixture was used as oil phase. The effects of surfactant and cosurfactant composition in terms of hydrophilic/lipophilic balance on the stability of the water-in-oil emulsion and the size of water droplets were studied. Low droplet sizes and the optimum stability were obtained with Span 80&Tween 80 surf...
Preparation and Characterization of Low Density Polyethylene/Ethylene Methyl Acrylate Glycidyl Methacrylate/Organoclay Nanocomposites Coskunses, Fatma Isik; Yılmazer, Ülkü (Wiley, 2011-06-05) The effects of organoclay type, compatibilizer, and the addition order of components during melt-blending process on the morphology and thermal, mechanical, and flow properties of ternary nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were investigated. As a compatibilizer, ethylene/methyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA), as organoclays Cloisites (R) 15A, 25A, and 30B were used. All samples were prepared by a corotating twin screw extruder, followed by injection molding. The highest incre...
Synthesis and characterization of epoxy based nanocomposites Basara, G; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Bayram, Göknur (Wiley, 2005-11-01) Epoxy-clay nanocomposites were synthesized to examine the effects of the content and type of different clays on the structure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (epoxy) was reinforced by 0.5-11 wt % natural (Cloisite Na+) and organically modified (Cloisite 3013) types of montmorillonite. SEM results showed that as the clay content increased, larger agglomerates of clay were present. Nano-composites with Cloisite 30B exhibited better dispersion and a lower degree...
Simultaneous novel synthesis of conducting, nonconducting, and crosslinked polymers by microwave initiation Çelik, Güler (Wiley, 2006-12-15) A novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide) (P), conducting polymer (CP), and/or crosslinked polymer (CLP), and/or radical ion polymers (RIP) was achieved simultaneously from sodium 2,4,6-tribromophenolate by microwave energy in a very short-time interval. The synthesized polymers were characterized via elemental analysis, FTIR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, SEM, DSC, TGA, ESR, GPC, conductivity measurement, and light scattering. It was found that polymerization proceeds throug...
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-...
