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 Cation effect on gel-sol transition of kappa carrageenan(Springer, 2008-04) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Tarı İlgin, ÖzlemThe steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed to study gel - sol transitions of kappa carrageenan in NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 solutions. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe for monitoring these transitions. Scattered light, I-sc and fluorescence intensity, I was monitored against temperature to determine the gel - sol (T-gs) transition temperatures and exponents. It was observed that T-gs values are strongly correlated to the NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 contents. The weight average degree of polymerization, DPw and gel fraction G, exponents (gamma and beta) were measured and found to be in accord with the classical Flory-Stockmayer Model.Yayın Critical behavior of thermal phase transitions of iota-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution(Elsevier B.V., 2006-07-15) Özbek, Haluk; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderIn situ photon transmission method was applied to study thermal phase transitions of ?-carrageenan in CaCl2 solution. Coil-to-helix (c-h) and helix-to-dimer (h-d) transitions were detected upon cooling. An extra dimer-to-dimer (d-d) transition was observed as well during cooling at low-temperature region. Upon heating only dimer-to-helix (d-h) and helix-to-coil (h-c) transitions were detected. Photon transmission intensity, Itr was monitored against temperature to determine several phase transitions and transition temperatures. It was observed that the c-h transition in ?-carrageenan-CaCl2 system performs a crossover between 3D percolation to classical theory. Upon heating, the specific heat exponent over the d-h transition was extracted from the transmitted intensity data and was found to be 0.045.Yayın Universal behaviour of glass transition exponents in various polymeric systems(VSP BV, Brill Academic Publishers, 2005) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Kaya Aktaş, DemetThe fast transient fluorescence (FTRF) technique was used to study the critical exponents during glass transition in free-radical cross-linking copolymerization (FCC). Methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and various combinations of MMA with EMA were used during FCC experiments. Pyrene (Py) was used as a fluorescence probe and its fluorescence lifetimes from its decay traces were measured during glass transition. Changes in the viscosity of the pre-gel solutions due to glass formation dramatically increased the Py fluorescent lifetimes, which were used to study the glass transition of MMA, EMA and their mixtures as a function of time, at various temperatures and monomer concentrations. The results were interpreted in the view of percolation theory. The critical exponents, beta and gamma, were measured near the glass transition point and found to be around 0.37 +/- 0.015 and 1.69 +/- 0.05, respectively, in all systems studied, which are in good agreement with the static percolation results.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 Universality of sol-gel phase transition of kappa-carrageenan in various salts: a steady state fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2007-08) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Tarı İlgin, ÖzlemThermal phase transitions of kappa-carrageenan in NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 solutions were studied using steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine was introduced as a fluorescence probe for studying sol-gel phase transitions. Scattered light, I-sc and fluorescence intensity, I was monitored against temperature to determine the sol-gel (T-sg) phase transition temperatures. It was observed that T-sg values are strongly correlated to NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 contents. The weight average degree of polymerization, DPw, and gel fraction G, exponents (gamma and beta) were measured and found to be in accord with the classical Flory-Stockmayer model, i.e., gamma and beta were found to be close to 1.0, independent of salt content.
