In the present study, graphene oxide was functionalized by hyperbranched epoxy and then used as an additive in the polyethersulfone membrane. The process of preparation and characterization of the synthesized hyperbranched epoxy, and graphene oxide modification was investigated by some analysis such as XRD, EDAX, FTIR, NMR, and TGA. Morphology of modified nanostructures, their distribution in the membrane matrix, and morphology of membranes were evaluated by TEM, FESEM analysis. Experimental results showed that the microstructure of membranes was affected and improved; the hydrophilicity nature of membranes increased. Pure water flux of prepared nanocomposite membranes was more than neat polyethersulfone one and is at least 69% higher than the non-modified polyethersulfone membrane. The flux recovery ratio, as a measure of antifouling properties, showed that the amount of fouling had been significantly reduced. More importantly, the prepared mixed matrix membranes exhibited excellent performance in the removal of dyes such as methylene blue, methyl orange (MO), bromothymol blue (BTB), crystal violet (CV), acid red 18, and acid yellow 36.

The effect of different solvents on the performance of zeolite-filled composite pervaporation membranes Sener, Tansel; Okumus, Emin; Gurkan, Turker; Yılmaz, Levent (2010-10-15) The aim of this research is to study effect of different solvents on the membrane morphology and on the performance of zeolite-filled composite pervaporation membranes. PAN (polyacrylonitrile) was used as a base polymer and zeolite 13x (32 wt.%) was used as the filler. The solvents considered were DMF (dimethyl formamide), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), DMAc (dimethyl acedamide) and THF (tetrahydrofuran). The cross-sectional morphology of manufactured membranes shows three layers: a zeolite-free polymer layer, ...
Production of epoxide functionalized boehmite nanoparticles and their use in epoxide nanocomposites Coniku, Anisa; Gündüz, Güngör; Maviş, Bora; Department of Chemical Engineering (2012) In the present study the effects of addition of organically functionalized boehmite nano-particles on the mechanical properties of epoxy polymers were analyzed. Nanosize platelets of boehmite powders were produced via a hydrothermal process from the raw material aluminum trihydroxide Al(OH)3 provided by a a chemical supplier, but which in future studies can be replaced by local resources of aluminum trihydroxide available in Seydişehir, Turkey. The ground aluminum trihydroxide particles were submitted to a ...
Effect of preparation parameters on the performance of conductive composite gas separation membranes Gulsen, D; Hacarloglu, P; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yılmaz, Levent (2001-02-15) Mixed matrix composite membranes of a conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy), and an insulating polymer, polybisphenol-A-carbonate (PC) were prepared by a combined in-situ polymerization and solvent evaporation. Mixed matrix composite membranes were synthesized to combine the good gas transport properties of conductive polymer, PPy, with good mechanical properties of PC.
Development of polybenzimidazole/graphene oxide composite membranes for high temperature PEM fuel cells Uregen, Nurhan; Pehlivanoglu, Kubra; Ozdemir, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (2017-01-26) In this study, phosphoric acid doped Polybenzimidazole/Graphene Oxide (PBI/GO) nano composite membranes were prepared by dispersion of various amounts of GO in PBI polymer matrix followed by phosphoric acid doping for high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) application. The structure of the PBI/GO composite membranes was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of GO into the FBI polymer matri...
The effects of some methacrylate monomers used as liquid component on tensile and flexural strengths of a poly (methyl methacrylate) denture base resin Do'an, Orhan Murat; Bolayir, Giray; Keskin, Selda; Boztug, Ali; Do'an, Arife; Bek, Buelent (2006-12-01) This study was conducted to observe the effect of different monomers on tensile and flexural strengths of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) denture base resin when they were used as a liquid component. A conventional heat-cured denture base polymer powder was mixed with ethyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl methacrylate monomers, respectively. After the polymerization process was completed, the tensile and flexural strength values of these specimens were compared with those that of PMMA resin specimens polymerized...
