A series of binary (1-x)TiO2 xB2O3 glasses with TiO2 content up to 80 mol% were prepared by the sol-gel technique using titanium tetraisopropoxide (C12H28O4Ti) and boric acid (H3BO3) precursors. Effects of initial precursor amount, and calcination temperature and time on the formation and photocatalytic properties of the glasses were investigated. The optimum amount of TiO2 was researched to get a glass possessing self-cleaning ability. The photocatalytic performance of the glasses was evaluated by the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) solution under UV irradiation. The MB degradation of the glasses increased as the TiO2 concentration increased. The highest MB degradation of 90.4% occurred for sample 80T after exposing the sample to UV illumination for 90 min. Glasses were characterized by thermal analyses (TGA and DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Effect of the number of cycles on the optical and structural properties of Mn3O4 nanostructures obtained by SILAR technique BAYRAM, ÖZKAN; Simsek, Onder; GÜNEY, HARUN; İĞMAN, ERDAL; Ozer, Mustafa Murat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01) In this study, nanostructured Mn3O4 (manganese oxide) thin films were successfully obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method on the soda lime glass substrates using Manganese Nitrate (Mn(NO3)(2)) and Ammonium hydroxide (NH4(OH)) as cationic and anionic precursors respectively. Structural and morphological characterizations of the Mn3O4 films obtained at different cycles were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The crystal structure...
Effects of pH, Initiator, Scavenger, and Surfactant on the Ozonation Mechanism of an Azo Dye (Acid Red-151) in a Batch Reactor Oezbelge, Tuelay A.; Erol, Funda (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this study, an initiator (Fe2+) and a scavenger (CO32(-)) were used at different concentrations in a batch reactor to investigate the reaction mechanism of ozonation of a model azo dye, namely Acid Red-151 (AR-151). Also, the effect of a nonionic surfactant known as a major pollutant in many industrial wastewaters, namely polyethylene glycol (PEG), was observed on the degradation rate of AR-151. The experimental parameters and their ranges were: pH (2.5-10), initiator (0.8-50mg/L of Fe2+), surfactant (10...
Effects of boron compound on characteristics of poly(methyl methacrylate) and its nanocomposites Göktaş, Müberra; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2016) In this work, composites of poly(methyl methacrylate) and benzene-1,4diboronic acid (BDBA) and their nanocomposites with organically modified montmorillonite OMMT prepared by solution and melt mixing, were characterized to study effects of boron content and the preparation method on the properties of PMMA. SEM images showed homogeneous dispersion of BDBA particles for the melt blended, whereas, agglomeration for the solution mixed PMMA/BDBA composites. XRD and TEM results of PMMA nanocomposites indicated th...
Influence of the sol-gel preparation method on the photocatalytic NO oxidation performance of TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxides Polat, Meryem; Soylu, Asli M.; Altunöz Erdoğan, Deniz; Erguven, Huseyin; Vovk, Evgeny I.; Ozensoy, Emrah (2015-03-01) In the current work, TiO2/Al2O3 binary oxide photocatalysts were synthesized via two different sol-gel protocols (P1 and P2), where various TiO2 to Al2O3 mole ratios (0.5 and 1.0) and calcination temperatures (150-1000 degrees C) were utilized in the synthesis. Structural characterization of the synthesized binary oxide photocatalysts was also performed via BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic NO(g) oxidation performances of these binary oxides were m...
Effects of surface pretreatments and coating period on hydroxyapatite coating of Ti6Al4V alloy HACIOĞLU, TUĞÇE; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (2020-06-01) In this study, Ti6Al4V plates were gone through three steps of pretreatment process (sandblasting + acid etching + preheating) followed by biomimetic coating of pure hydroxyapatites (HAp) on pretreated substrate. Pretreated substrates were examined by SEM, EDS, AFM, FTIR, and XRD; meanwhile, prepared coatings were examined by SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, XPS, scratch test, and in vitro cell studies (SaOS-2 cell line). Prepared coatings were also investigated in terms of antibacterial property by determining the sur...
