Polystyrene / boron nitride nanotube composites: synthesis, processing and characterization Balık, Erdem; Bayram, Göknur; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Department of Chemical Engineering (2015) In recent years, boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have been added to polystyrene (PS) which is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in order to improve its thermal and mechanical properties. Solution mixing and melt blending techniques are commonly used methods to prepare polymer-boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) composites. However, these two composite preparation methods have a common problem about the dispersion of fillers in the polymer matrix. In this study, PS-BNNT composites were prepared using masterbatch...
Polystyrene-based and carbon fabrİc-reİnforced polymer composİtes containing carbon nanotubes: preparation,modification and characterization Erkmen, Berrak; Bayram, Göknur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2020-11-23) Carbon Fabric-Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) attract attention due to their high mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and providing weight reduction solutions in aerospace, automotive, marine, and energy industries. Since recycling, long processing times, non-visible damages, and complex repair procedures of thermoset-based CFRPs cause problems, studies are performed on the application of thermoplastic-based CFRPs. This study aims to produce polystyrene (PS)-based and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and car...
Polyfluorene Thin Films Synthesized by a Novel Plasma Polymerization Method GÖKTAŞ, HİLAL; Mansuroğlu, Doğan; ATALAY, BETÜL; Bilikmen, Sinan; KAYA, İSMET (2012-02-01) The synthesis of polyfluorene (PF) thin films by simultaneously superposing a continuous and pulsed discharge and the characterizations of these samples are presented. The double discharge plasma system is constructed by superposing two discharges; namely, a low pressure dc glow one and a high current pulsed one. The fluorene monomer in powder form was vaporized in the system at argon plasma without any modification, at 0.5 mbar operating pressure. The structure of the thin films was investigated via XPS, U...
Polypyrrole grafts synthesized via electrochemical polymerization Balci, N; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Akbulut, Ural; Stanke, D; Hallensleben, ML (Informa UK Limited, 1998-01-01) Electrically conducting polypyrrole grafts with poly[(methyl meth acrylate)-co-(2-(N-pyrrolyl) ethyl methacrylate)] (PMMA-co-PEMA) were synthesized by constant potential electrolysis. Cyclic Voltammetry, DSC, TGA, SEM and elemental analysis were used in order to characterize the free standing films. Conductivities of the polymers were measured by a four-probe technique.
Polybenzimidazole-modified carbon nanotubes as a support material for platinum-based high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell electrocatalysts Eren, Enis Oguzhan; Özkan, Necati; DEVRİM, YILSER (2021-08-01) We fabricate polybenzimidazole (PBI) wrapped carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as support material for platinum-based fuel cell electrocatalyst. With the aid of microwave-assisted polyol reduction, we obtain very fine platinum (Pt) nanoparticles on PBI/MWCNT support while reducing the amount of Pt waste during synthesis. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) concludes that Pt-PBI/MWCNT has 43.0 m(2) g(-1) of electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) to catalyze hydrogen oxidation. Furthermore, after the 1000th cycle, Pt-PBI/M...
