Yayın Temperature effect on drying and swelling of kappa carrageenan gels: A steady state fluorescence study(Wiley-V C H Verlag GMBH, 2008) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderA novel technique based on in situ steady state fluorescence (SSF) measurements is introduced for studying drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan (kappa carrageenan) gels at various temperatures. kappa(-) carrageenan gels were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Pyranine was embedded in kappa(-) carrageenan and used as a fluorescence probe. Scattered light intensities, I-SC and fluorescence intensities, I were monitored during the drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan gels. it was observed that the fluorescence intensity decreased linearly as drying time was increased. A simple model consisting of Case II diffusion was used to quantify the drying processes of the kappa(-) carrageenan gels. This moving boundary model provided packing constant, kappa(o). During swelling, fluorescence intensity increased exponentially as time is increased. The increase in I, was modeled using Li-Tanaka equation from which swelling time constants, tau(c) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined. It was observed that swelling time constants, tau(c) decreased and diffusion coefficients, D-c increased as the swelling temperature was increased. Activation energies for drying and swelling were also obtained and found to be 53.9 and 47.2 kJ mol(-1), respectively.Yayın Small molecule desorption from a swelling polymeric glass in polymer solution: Energy transfer method(Elsevier Science Sa, 2005-07-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderDirect energy transfer (DET) method conjunction with fast transient fluorescence (FTRF) technique were used to study small molecule desorption from a swelling poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) glass in polymer solution, which is consist of naphthalene (N)-labeled PMMA chains in chlorofrom-heptane mixture. Desorption coefficients, D-d of pyrene (P) desorbing from the swelling PMMA glass prior to dissolution were measured and found to be 8.3 x 10(-8) and 1.3 x 10(-5) cm(2) s(-1) in short and long time regions, respectively.Yayın In situ fluorescence study of swelling, sorption and desorption processes in and out of PAAm gels(Wiley-V C H Verlag GMBH, 2008-05) Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Karslı, Kadir; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSmall molecule sorption and desorption in and out of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were studied at various temperatures. Pyranine (P(y)) dissolved in water used as a probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I(p) from P(y) was monitored for studying sorption and desorption processes. Scattered light intensities, I(SC) from PAAm gel was also monitored to observed structural variations during sorption and desorption process. Li-Tanaka model was applied to produce the swelling time constants, tau(C) and sorption coefficients, D(C) for the swelling processes. on the other hand, sorption and desorption processes were studied and coefficients were produced by using Fickian model. Related activation energies were also calculated from the corresponding physical processes.Yayın Poly (styrene) latex/modified na-activated bentonite nanocomposite films: a fluorescence study(Elsevier Science BV, 2008-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Günister, Ebru; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderWe studied film formation of composites of surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles and modified Na-activated bentonite (MLB), by steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique. The films were prepared from a mixture of pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles and MLB at various compositions at room temperature. These films were annealed at elevated temperatures above the glass transition (T(g)) temperature of polystyrene for 10 min. Scattered light (I(S)) and fluorescence intensities (I(P)) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of the composite films was monitored by using photon transmission intensity, I(tr) Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to detect the variation in physical structure of annealed composite films. The nanocomposite films exhibited a percolation threshold at 20 wt.% MLB content. Below this fraction two distinct film formation stages were observed which are known as void closure and interdiffusion and above this fraction no film formation was detected. At 0-20 wt.% MLB, minimum film formation, T(0), void closure, T(v) and healing, T(h) temperatures were determined. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined. Void closure activation energies decreased as the percent of MLB increased, no variation was observed in backbone activation energies.Yayın Film formation from pure and mixed latices; transient fluorescence study(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2005-11-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderA fast transient fluorescence technique was used to study latex film formation induced by organic solvent vapor. Mixtures of pyrene (P)- and naphthalene (N)-labeled and/or pure naphthalene-labeled latex films were prepared separately from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles. Then these pure and mixed latex films were exposed to vapor of various chloroform-heptane mixtures in seven different experiments. In both films, fluorescence lifetimes from N were monitored during vapor-induced film formation. It was observed that N lifetimes decreased as the vapor exposure time is increased. A Stern-Volmer kinetic analysis was used for low quenching efficiencies to interpret the decrease in N lifetimes. A Prager-Tirrell model was employed to obtain back-and-forth frequencies, v, of reptating PMMA chains during latex film formation induced by solvent vapor. In both pure and mixed latex films, v values were found to be correlated with the chloroform content in the vapor mixture. It was observed that polymer interdiffusion obeyed a t(1/2) law during film formation.
