Electrospinning is a process that produces continuous nanofibers through the action of an electric field imposed on a polymer solution. Microfluidization is one of advanced homogenization methods. In this study, it was aimed to produce legume flour based homogeneous nanofibers by electrospinning. The effects of flour concentration and poly(ethylene) oxide (PEO) concentration on nanofiber morphology were discussed. The effect of microfluidization process on apparent viscosity, electrical conductivity and nanofiber morphology was evaluated. Solutions were prepared at alkali pH value of 10 with 0.5% (w/v) hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and with different legume flour concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%, 3.5% 4%, 5%, 6%, 7.5% w/v) and different PEO concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5% w/v). Fiber morphology was affected by both legume and PEO concentration. For both legume flour solutions, SEM images confirmed that homogenous nanofiber formation (HNF) was obtained from the solutions with PEO concentrations equal or greater than 2.5%. Also, fibers become smoother as PEO concentration increased. Microfluidization process was applied on solutions with 3.5% PEO and 5.25% flour concentration and with 2.5% PEO and 7.5% flour concentration. Microfluidization process increased consistency coefficients (k) of both legume flour solutions while decreased electrical conductivity of solutions. Therefore, microfluidization process did not have a positive effect on obtaining homogeneous nanofibers and resulted in fibers with beads.

Characterization of pea flour based nanofibers produced by electrospinning method Oğuz, Seren; Şahin, Serpil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Department of Food Engineering (2018) Electrospinning is a process that produces continuous nanofibers through the action of an electric field imposed on a polymer solution. In this thesis, it was aimed to produce pea flour and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) based homogenous nanofibers by electrospinning. The effects of pH, pea flour and HPMC concentration, and microfluidization on apparent viscosity, electrical conductivity of solutions and nanofiber characteristics were studied. In addition, the effects of voltage and flow rate were ana...
The influence of polymerization temperature on structure and properties of polyaniline Yilmaz, Faris; Kucukyavuz, Zuhal (2009-01-31) 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 a...
The effect of peripheral circuits on the total pi-electron energies of cyclacenes Türker, Burhan Lemi (2000-01-01) Within the framework of the Huckel molecular orbital theory, certain linear models are developed to express the contribution of peripheral circuits of cyclacenes into their total pi -electron energies, which explain why cyclacenes exhibit the cryptoannulenic behavior as their peripheral circuits which are annulenic in character.
A density functional theory study of partial oxidation of propylene on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces Duzenli, Derya; Atmaca, Deniz Onay; Gezer, Miray Gulbiter; Önal, Işık (2015-11-15) This work theoretically investigates propylene epoxidation reaction on Cu2O(001) and CuO(001) surfaces using periodical DFT method to determine the active copper species within the reaction mechanism. The transition states and energy profiles are calculated for the formation of surface intermediates such as oxametallopropylene (OMP) over Cu2O(0 0 1) and oxygen bridging (OB) over CuO(0 0 1) and allylic H-stripping reaction (AHS) over both surfaces as well as for formation of products. Propylene oxide (PO) an...
The evolution of the magnetic moment in a corrugated magnetic field Demokan, O; Mirnov, VV (1997-09-01) In the first part, the equations of motion in a weakly corrugated, periodic magnetic field are linearized and solved by using paraxial approximation, to describe the model and the associated resonance condition. In the second part, the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic moment of resonant particles, in connection with their axial displacement is investigated analytically by using the multiple scale method. It is seen that the linear evolution is converted into a slow and periodic oscillation around the unp...
