Yayın Vapor-induced film formation from low-T-g particles for different solvent compositions(Elsevier Inc, 2006-05-15) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Saraç, Ayfer; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission method was used to study latex film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) particles induced by two different solvents. Films with the same latex content were prepared from PVAc particles and exposed to vapor of ethanol-water and acetone-water mixtures in various compositions. Transmitted photon intensities, I-tr, from these films increased with increasing vapor exposure time. The increase in I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the polymer-polymer junction. The Prager-Tirrell model was employed to obtain the back-and-forth frequency, v, of the reptating polymer chain during film formation induced by solvent vapor. It was observed that the produced v values increase as the solvent content is increased for both solvents. Abilities of both solvents to form films were interpreted with the solubility parameters of the solvents and the PVAc.Yayın Time evolution of film formation from polystyrene particles: a percolation approach(Springer, 2005-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports the film formation process from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex particles. Steady state fluorescence and photon transmission techniques were used to study the evolution of film formation. The films were prepared from fluorescein (F)-labeled PS latex particles at room temperature and annealed in 2.5-min-time intervals above the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PS. Fluorescence intensity (I-F) from F was measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of latex films was monitored by using the photon transmission intensity, I-tr. Drastic increase in I-tr and I-F above the critical annealing times t(r) and t(c) respectively, were attributed to the percolation behavior of the PS material. Critical exponents, beta, of percolation clusters were measured and found to be around 0.31 and 0.37 for Itr and IF measurement, respectively, which were attributed to the site percolation model.Yayın Fluorescence study on Al2O3-polystyrene latex composite film formation(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2005-06) Uğur, Şaziye; Salman, Oğuz Umut; Tepehan, Galip Gültekin; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports a steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique for studying film formation from mixture of Al2O3 and polystyrene (PS) latex particles. The composite films were prepared from dispersion of pyrene (P)labeled PS particles in Al2O3 solution at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures in 10-min time interval above glass transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Nine different composites film were studied in various latex contents. Fluorescence intensities (I-P) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. No variations in I-p were detected for the films prepared with higher than 33 wt% Al2O3 content. However films prepared below 33 wt% Al2O3 content show considerable increase in I-P above the certain onset temperature called minimum film forming temperature, To. Healing temperatures T., were determined from the maxima of I-P. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined and found to be 20 and 97 kJ.mol(-1), respectively.Yayın Small molecule desorption prior to dissolution of a polymeric glass(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07-15) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Uğur, ŞaziyePoly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) discs in various molecular weights (M-w) were prepared by free-radical polymerization. Pyrene (Py) was introduced during polymerization as a fluorescence probe. In situ steady state fluorescence experiments were performed to monitor desorption processes in chloroform solvent. When the PMMA discs were in chloroform, desorption of Py molecules were monitored by observing the change of Py fluorescence intensity I-P. To understand the mechanism of desorption, two different experiments were carried out in the meantime. In the first experiment, the weight of swelling and dissolving PMMA discs against dissolution time was monitored. The parallel experiment was conducted by measuring fluorescence intensity I-P from the desorbing Py molecules. Then, a set of desorption experiments were performed by monitoring I-P for various discs with different molecular weight of PMMA. A Fickian diffusion model was employed to quantify the fluorescence data produced from the swelling PMMA discs to measure desorption coefficients D-d. The measured D-d values decrease as the molecular weight of PMMA is increased in the swelling glass.
