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 Signals of chaotic behavior in PMMA(Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2003-07) Hacınlıyan, Avadis Simon; Skarlatos, Yani; Şahin, Gökhan; Akın, Güzin GülsünThe time evolution of the current passing through PMMA polymer thin films under 10 V at 23degreesC (296 K) was sampled at intervals ranging from 1 to 20 s. The data showed chaotic behavior in the context of pinned charge density waves [Phys. Rev. B 41 (1990) 11522]. The resultant time series has been analyzed by means of TISEAN, time series analysis software [The TISEAN package CHAOS 9 (1999) 413]. The analysis has revealed a positive maximal Lyapunov exponent. This is also corroborated by a calculation of the fractal dimension and application of the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture. In the analysis two widely separated time scales have been observed; the first zero crossing of the correlation function at 8380 s and the first marked minimum of the average mutual information at 40 s.Yayın Transmission increase upon switching of VO2 thin films on microstructured surfaces(American Institute of Physics, 2007-08-27) Karakurt, İsmail; Boneberg, Johannes; Leiderer, Paul; Lopez, Rene; Halabica, Andrej; Haglund, Richard F.The authors compare transmission measurements of near-infrared light through VO2 thin films on smooth substrates and on ordered arrays of silica microspheres. When the samples are heated above the critical temperature for the semiconductor-metallic phase transition, smooth thin films show reduced transmission independent of thickness; however, the VO2 film deposited on the microspheres may show either reduced or enhanced transmission, depending on VO2 film thickness. They show that this at a first glance, unexpected behavior is directly related to the change of scattering efficiency upon the phase transition. This suggests that optical transmission through thin-film microstructures could be tuned by an appropriate combination of microsphere ordering and VO2 film thickness.Yayın Ceramic encapsulated latex composites(Elsevier Inc, 2006-04-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pehlivan, Esat; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports the encapsulation of latex particles in Al(2)O(3)-polystyrene (PS) composite films. These films were prepared from PS particles in Al(2)O(3) dispersion at room temperature in various latex contents. Composite films were annealed at elevated temperatures in 10 min time interval above the glass transition temperature (T,,) of polystyrene. Transmitted photon intensities. I(tr) were monitored after each annealing step. AFM micrographs were also used to observe the physical changes of the composite films during annealing. It was observed that latex particles are encapsulated above a critical Al(2)O(3) content of 33 wt% which corresponds to the critical occupation probability of p(c) = 0.33 at which the film obey the site-percolation model with a critical exponent of 0.45. Below pc it was seen that complete latex film formation process took place, where transparency of the film was increased by annealing.
