Yayın Universal behaviour of gel formation from acrylamide-carrageenan mixture around the gel point: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2006-08) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was used to study the sol-gel transition, for the solution free radical crosslinking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with various carrageenan content. N, N'- methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) are used as crosslinker and an initiator, respectively. Pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1, 3,6-trisuffonic acid, trisodium salt, HPTS) was added as a floroprobe for monitoring the polymerization. Pyranine molecules start to bind to acrylamide polymer chains upon the initiation of the polymerization; thus, the spectra of the bonded pyranines shift to the shorter wavelengths. Fluorescence spectra from the bonded pyranines allows one to monitor the sol-gel transition, without disturbing the system mechanically, and to test the universality of the sol-gel transition as a function of some kinetic parameters like polymer concentration. Observations around the critical point show that the gel fraction exponent P obeyed the percolation result for low carrageenan concentrations (< 2.0%) however classical results were produced at higher carrageenan concentration (> 2.0%).Yayın Monitoring small molecule diffusion into hydrogels at various temperatures by fluorescence technique(Elsevier B.V., 2006-12-01) Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Karslı, Kadir; Pekcan, Mehmet Öndersteady state fluorescence technique was used to study small molecule diffusion into polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels at various temperatures. Pyranine (P-y), dissolved in water was introduced as a probe and fluorescence emission (I-p) from Py was monitored during diffusion. Scattered light intensities, I-sc from PAAm gel was also monitored to observe structural variations during diffusion process. Increase in I-P intensity was attributed to P-Y diffusion into PAAm get. On the other hand decrease in I-sc intensity was interpreted as the variation of the spatial heterogeneities in the system. Li-Tanaka and Fickian models were used to quantify the swelling and diffusion experiments and diffusion coefficients were produced in both cases. Related activation energies were also calculated from the corresponding physical processes.
