In order to reveal the effect of reuse solution and the hemodialysis environment on the stability of high flux polyamide hollow fiber membranes, mechanical tests, surface and X-ray diffraction studies were performed on both virgin 17S high flux polyamide hollow fiber and used-processed 17S high flux polyamide hollow fiber membranes. Used fibers were left in 4% formaldehyde solution for 14 hours and then in 5% sodium hypochloride (bleach) solution for 6 hours in order to disinfect the membrane for the reuse idea. Tensile tests performed on both virgin and used-processed fibers reveal that toughness and ductility of the used-processed fibers are lower than the virgin ones. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies performed on virgin and used-processed fiber visualized the morphological changes. Rough surface with defects and cracks was seen in used-processed fiber, whereas a smoother surface morphology was seen in virgin fibers. Alterations in pore morphology and the size of the pores became greater in used processed fibers. Cracks, merging of pores and also more defects were visualized in used-processed fibers. Thus, easy crack initiations and easy propagations were expected in used-processed fibers which were also confirmed by tensile test experiments. In addition to these mechanical and surface studies experiments, X-ray diffractometry studies also revealed the changes in the structure of the used-processed fibers. New or growth of the existing phases and orientations were observed in used-processed fibers. This study showed that dialysis environment caused structural changes on membranes which may cause clinical complications.

A New Method for Leakage Inductance Calculation of Transverse Flux Machines Zafarani, Mohsen; Moallem, Mehdi; Ghadamyari, Mohammad Adib (2011-09-10) This paper presents a new analytical method for leakage inductance calculation of transverse flux permanent magnet machines. In this method, leakage flux paths are predicted base on the finite element results, and then all paths would be modeled by flux tubes. Finally, the inductance of the machine would be obtained by calculation of the permeance of flux tubes. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing the Finite Element results with the results obtained from the proposed approach. Compar...
The impact of [1,2,5]Chalcogenazolo[3,4-f]-Benzo[1,2,3]Triazole structure on the optoelectronic properties of a conjugated polymer Toppare, Levent Kamil; Göker, Seza (null; 2018-09-12) The use of conjugated polymers as an active layer in electrochromic (EC) devices 1,2 and organic solar cells (OPVs) 3,4 became an outstanding research area in the latest century due to their ease of processability, fast switching time, high optical contrasts and changing color easily via structural modifications. Benzotriazole (BTz) has been extensively used as an acceptor moiety in donor-acceptor (D-A) type conjugated polymers in literature and results in low band gap polymers and low LUMO energy levels.5 ...
Effects of injection molding conditions on the mechanical properties of polyamide/glass fiber composites Cansever, Cahit Can; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2007) In this study, effect of injection molding process parameters on fiber length and on mechanical properties of Polyamide-6 / glass fiber composite were investigated to produce higher performance composites. Polyamide-6 was first compounded with an E-grade glass fiber in a co-rotating intermeshing twin screw extruder. Then, by using this composite, twenty-five types of experiments were performed by injection molding by changing the barrel temperature, injection pressure, hold pressure, mold temperature, cooli...
The effect of Esthetic fibers on impact resistance of a conventional heat-cured denture base resin Dogan, Orhan Murat; Bolayir, Giray; Keskin, Selda; Dogan, Arife; Bek, Bulent; Boztug, Ali (Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devices, 2007-03-01) This study was conducted to observe the changes in impact resistance of a denture base resin reinforced with five types of fiber. E-glass, polyester, rayon, nylon 6, and nylon 6/6 fibers were cut into 2, 4, and 6 mm lengths and added into the resin at a concentration of 3% by weight. Five test specimens for each formulation, as well as control specimens without fiber, were prepared using a mold including a V-shaped notch with 55 x 10 x 10 mm dimensions. Impact tests were carried out using a Charpy-type test...
The effects of various heat treating parameters on the hardness and microstructures of the experimental 18% nickel maraging steels Pektas, I; Atala, H (1998-01-01) The effect of the parameters of heat treatment on the experimental 18% maraging steels was studied using hardness tester, optical, scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray metallography techniques. The specimens were solution treated at 815, 900, 1000, 1060 degrees C for periods between 1 and 4 h. After air-cooling to room temperature. a bce martensitic structure was obtained. The higher temperature (1060 degrees C) and longer time (4 h) of the solution treatment caused essentially h...
