Thermal Rearrangements of 1-Ethynyl-2-methylcyclopropane: A Computational Study
Bozkaya, Ugur; Özkan, İlker (2012-03-29)
In this research, a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the thermal rearrangements of 1-ethynyl-2-methylcyclopropane is carried out employing density functional theory (DFT), with the B3LYP functional, and high-level ab initio methods, such as the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF), multireference second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MRMP2), and coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples [CCSD(T)]. In all computations Pople's polarized triple-zeta spli...
Sytnhesis and characterization of nano zinc borate and its usage as a flame retardant for polymers
Baltacı, Berk; Bayram, Göknur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
The objectives of this study are to synthesize sub-micron sized zinc borate and to use them with other flame retardant additives in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) based composites. The study can be divided into two parts. In the first part, it was aimed to synthesize sub-micron sized zinc borate (2ZnO.3B2O3.3.5H2O) with the reaction of zinc oxide and boric acid. For this purpose, low molecular weight additives or surfactants were used in the syntheses to prevent the agglomeration and to decrease particl...
Dimethyl ether synthesis over novel mesoporous catalysts
Tokay, Kenan Cem; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008)
Due to overconsumption, fossil reserves are rapidly being depleted and various sources predict that they will not last until the end of 21st century. Moreover, the increase in the rate of global warming and the polluting matter emitted by the vehicles consuming fossil fuels has increased the search for renewable and clean energy sources. Alcohols and ethers, which contain fewer pollutants and have better burning properties, are commonly thought among clean fuel alternatives. Among the potential clean energy...
Steam reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production using Cu-MCM41 and Ni-MCM41 type mesoporous catalytic materials
Özdoğan, Ekin; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
The world’s being alerted to the global warming danger and the depletion of fossil fuel resources, has increased the importance of the clean and renewable hydrogen energy. Bioethanol has high potential to be used as a resource of hydrogen since it is a non-petroleum feedstock and it is able to produce hydrogen rich mixture by steam reforming reactions. Discovery of mesoporous MCM-41 type high surface area silicate-structured materials with narrow pore size distributions (20-100 Å) and high surface areas (up...
Thermal characterization of homopolymers, copolymers and metal functional copolymers of vinylpyridines
Elmacı, Ayşegül; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
Although, the use of vinyl pyridine polymers, especially as matrices for nanoparticle synthesis, is growing considerably, the knowledge of thermal degradation behavior is still missing in the literature. In this study, thermal degradation characteristics of the homopolymers; poly(4-vinylpyridine), P4VP, and poly(2-vinylpyridine), P2VP, the diblock copolymers; polystyrene-blockpoly( 2-vinylpyridine), (PS-b-P2VP) and polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine), (PS-b-P4VP), and the metal functional vinyl polymers...
