The influence of polymerization temperature (from -25 to +25 degrees C) on molecular weight, crystallinity, electrical conductivity, thermal and morphological properties of polyaniline has been investigated. Aniline was oxidized in an aqueous medium with ammonium persulfate and 1.0 M hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture freezes below -10 degrees C and hence lithium chloride was used in sufficient amount to prevent freezing. As the reaction temperature decreases, both the molecular weight of polyaniline and its crystallinity increase. Thermal studies show a common three step decomposition pattern irrespective of the temperature used during synthesis. The morphology of polyaniline changes from granular (reaction in liquid medium) to tubular (polymerization in the frozen state). Thermal analysis indicated that the polyaniline stability increased with decreasing synthesis temperatures. Electrical conductivity of polyaniline was found to be independent of the polymerization temperature and, consequently, of the molecular weight.

The Effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 Catalyst's Calcination Temperature and Co/Mo Weight Ratio on Carbon Nanotube Production Hocaoglu, Caner; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (2015-01-01) Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized in the temperature range of 500-700 degrees C over cobalt (Co)- and molybdenum (Mo)impregnated CaCO3 catalysts using acetylene gas. The effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 catalyst's calcination temperature and Co/Mo weight ratio on the carbon deposition rate were investigated. The synthesized CNTs were multiwalled nanotubes with variable outer diameters. They exhibited Type II isotherm, and their surface areas were in the range of 24.8-89.9m(2)/g. It was concluded that the Co/Mo...
A nonintrusive diagnostics technique for flame soot based on near-infrared emission spectrometry Ayrancı Kılınç, Işıl; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) A novel nonintrusive soot diagnostics methodology was developed, validated and applied for in-situ determination of temperature, volume fraction and refractive index of soot aggregates formed inside flames by using near-infrared emission spectrometry. Research was conducted in three main parts, first one addressing development and validation of a comprehensive "direct" model for simulation of line-of-sight radiative emission from axisymmetric sooty flames by coupling sub-models for radiative transfer, radia...
The method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for Nongray media experimental Çayan, Fatma Nihan; Selçuk, Nevin; Department of Chemical Engineering (2006) A radiation code based on method of lines (MOL) solution of discrete ordinates method (DOM) for the prediction of radiative heat transfer in nongray absorbing-emitting media was developed by incorporation of two different gas spectral radiative property models, namely wide band correlated-k (WBCK) and spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases (SLW) models. Predictive accuracy and computational efficiency of the developed code were assessed by applying it to the predictions of source term distributions ...
The effect of substrate and post-annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of polycrystalline InSe thin films Parlak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 1998-06-08) X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, compositional analysis and transmission measurements are performed on InSe thin films grown by thermal evaporation at different substrate and annealing temperatures of 150-250 degrees C and 100-200 degrees C, respectively. An analysis of structural measurements indicates that there exist three phases of In-Se system like InSe, In2Se3 and In6Se7 in the same film at low-substrate temperature, but at high-substrate temperatures, In2Se3 phase was absent. The comp...
The biocatalytic effect of Halobacterium halobium on photoelectrochemical hydrogen production Sediroglu, V; Eroglu, I; Yucel, M; Turker, L; Gündüz, Ufuk (1999-04-30) Hydrogen gas can be produced electrochemically by leading a current through two electrodes immersed in a NaCl solution. Bacteriorhodopsin (BR) a protein found in the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium, is known to pump protons across the membrane upon illumination. In this study, the effect of BR on photoelectrochemical hydrogen production was investigated. A batch type bio-photoelectrochemical reactor was designed and constructed. The photoelectrochemical hydrogen production experiments were perform...
