Yayın Photon transmission study on conformational ordering of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-06) Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderCoil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution upon cooling were studied using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, I-iota r was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h) and (h-d) transition temperatures (T-ch and T-hd) and activation energies (Delta E-ch and Delta E-hd). An extra dimer-to-dimer (d-d) transition was also observed during cooling at low temperature region. However, upon heating dimers disappear to double helices by making dimer-to-double helix (d-h) transition. Further heating resulted double helix-to-coil (h-c) transition at high temperature region. T-dh and T-ch temperatures and Delta E-dh and Delta E-hc activation energies were also determined. It was observed that T-hc and T-ch temperatures and Delta E-dh and Delta E-hd activation energies do not effected by carrageenan content. However, T-hd, T-dh and T-dd temperatures and Delta E-ch and Delta E-hc activation energies were found to be strongly correlated to the carrageenan content in the system.Yayın A photon transmission study for film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles with different molecular weights(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2007-10-15) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission technique was used to monitor the temperature evolution of film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex particles with two different molecular weights. Two sets of latex films were prepared below the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PVAc, which are named as low (LM) and high molecular weight (HM) films. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures above the Tg of PVAc for various time intervals. It is observed that transmitted photon intensity (I-tr) from these films increased as the annealing temperature was increased. Onset temperatures (T-H) at given times (tau H) for starting the optical clarity of LM and HM films were measured and used to calculate the healing activation energies (Delta H) for the PVAc minor chains, and found to be as 28.1 kcal/mol and 27.7 kcal/mol, respectively. The increase in the transmitted photon intensity, Itr above TH was attributed to the increase in the number of disappeared interfaces between the deformed latex particles. Prager-Tirrell (PT) model was employed to interpret the increase in the crossing density of chains at the junction surfaces. The interdiffusion (backbone) activation energies (Delta E) were measured and found to be 177.5 kcal/mol and 210.7 kcal/mol for a diffusing PVAc chains across the junction surface of LM and HM latex films, respectively.Yayın Phase transitions of kappa-carrageenan gels in various types of salts(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2006-11-05) Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan; Kavzak, Burhan; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSol-gel and gel-sol phase transitions of K-carrageenan in various types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique. Here, LiCl, NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, CaCl2, and SrCl2 were chosen as the proper salts for the K-carrageenan-water system. Photon transmission intensity, I-tr was monitored against temperature to determine the sol-gel and gel-sol temperatures (T-sg and T-gs) and activation energies (Delta E-sg and Delta E-gs). It was observed that T-gs temperatures were notably higher than T-sg due to the hysteresis on the phase transition loops. It was observed that stronger carrageenan gels are formed in the presence of KCl compared to the others.Yayın Cation effects on phase transition of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrids: a photon transmission study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Kara, Selim; Arda, ErtanPhase transitions of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrid in various types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique: NaCl, KCI, MgCl2, CaCl2 and KCl+CaCl2 were chosen as the salt solutions for the carrageenan hybrid. Coil-to-helix (c-h), helix-to-dimer (h-d) and back to helix-to-coil (h-c), dimer-to-helix (d-h) phase transitions of carrageenan hybrid in these mono- and bivalent cation solutions were studied upon cooling and heating, respectively. Photon transmission intensity, It, was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h), (h-d) and (h-c), (d-h) transition temperatures (T-ch, T-hd and T-hc, T-dh) and activation energies (Delta E-ch, Delta E-hd and Delta E-hc, Delta E-dh) of carrageenan hybrids. Two distinct transition regions were observed both during heating and cooling of the carrageenan-bivalent salt systems. During the heating process, at first dimers decompose into helices by making a (d-h) transition. Then at the high temperature region, a (h-c) transition takes place. During cooling, back transitions repeat themselves. However, the carrageenan-monovalent salt system presented only (c-h) and (h-c) transitions during the cooling and heating processes, respectively. A hysteresis was observed between (h-c)-(c-h) and (d-h)-(h-d) transitions for the monovalent and bivalent cation systems respectively.Yayın Film formation stages for poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles: a photon transmission study(Springer-Verlag, 2006-07) Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Saraç, Ayfer; Arda, ErtanPhoton transmission technique was used to monitor the evolution of transparency during film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex particles. The latex films were prepared below the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PVAc. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures in various time intervals above the T-g of PVAc. It is observed that transmitted photon intensity (I-tr) from these films increased as the annealing temperature is increased. It is seen from I (tr) curves that there are two film formation stages. These successive stages are named void closure (viscous flow) and interdiffusion. The activation energies for viscous flow (Delta H) and backbone motion (Delta E (b)) were obtained by using well-defined models. The averaged values of the backbone (Delta E (b)) and the viscous flow activation energies (Delta H) were found to be 188.6 and 5.6 kcal/mol, respectively. The minimum film formation (tau (M),T (M)) and healing points (tau (H),T (H)) were determined. Minimum film formation (Delta E (M)) and healing activation energies (Delta E (H)) were measured using these time-temperature pairs. Delta E (M) and Delta E (H) were found to be 32.5 and 28.3 kcal/mol, respectively.Yayın Effect of annealing rate on film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) latex particles(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission technique was used to monitor the time and temperature evolution of film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) latex particles. The latex films were prepared below the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PVAc. These films were annealed at various annealing rates above the Tg of PVAc. It was observed that transmitted photon intensity (I-tr) from these films increased at all annealing rates as the annealing time and temperature are increased. The increase in the I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the junction surface. The healing points (tau(H), T-H) were determined for various annealing rates and the healing activation energy (Delta H) was measured and found to be 43.4 kcal/mol. The interdiffusion (backbone) activation energies (Delta E) and reptation frequencies (nu) of PVAc chains were measured. The averaged value of Delta E was found to be 226.6 kcal/mol. It is observed that Delta E is unchanged but nu is increased as increasing the annealing rates.
