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 Swelling of iota-carrageenan gels prepared with various CaCl2 content: A fluorescence study(European Polymer Federation, 2008-01-05) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderIota carrageenan gels prepared with various CaCl2 content were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Steady-state fluorescence ( SSF) technique was used to monitor the swelling process of each iota carrageenan gels at various temperatures. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe. Apparent fluorescence intensity, I increased as swelling time increased for all gel samples. The increase in I was modelled using Li-Tanaka equation from which the swelling time constants, tau(1) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined. It was observed that D-c increased as the swelling temperature was increased. On the other hand at each temperature, it was seen that D-c decreased as CaCl2 content was increased. Activation energies for swelling were obtained and found to be 60.5, 61.0, 61.5 and 62.8 kJmol(-1) for the gels prepared with increasing amount of CaCl2 content.Yayın Swelling activation energy of kappa-carrageenan in its gel state: A fluorescence study(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2007-12-15) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderA steady-state fluorescence technique was employed to study the swelling Of K-carrageenan gels at various temperatures. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe. The fluorescence intensity of pyranine was measured during the in situ swelling process of K-carrageenan gels. The fluorescence intensity increased exponentially as the swelling time increased. The increase in the fluorescence intensity was modeled with the Li-Tanaka equation, from which the swelling time constants and cooperative diffusion coefficients were determined. The swelling time constants decreased and the cooperative diffusion coefficients increased as the swelling temperature was increased. The swelling activation energies were measured to be 47.05 kJ/mol.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 Study on swelling of hydrogels (PAAm) at various temperatures by using fluorescence technique(Springer US, 2007-10) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Akın Evingür, Gülşen; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed for studying swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels. Disc-shaped gels were prepared by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) with N, N'- methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. Pyranine was introduced as a fluorescence probe. Fluorescence intensity of pyranine was measured during in situ swelling process at various temperatures and it was observed that fluorescence intensity values decreased as swelling is proceeded. Li-Tanaka equation was used to determine the swelling time constants, tau(c) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c from intensity, weight and volume variations during the swelling processes. It is observed that swelling time constants, tau(c) decreased and diffusion coefficients, D-c increased as the swelling temperature is increased. The swelling activation energies, Delta E were measured from the intensity, weight and volume variations and found to be 10.7, 32.2 and 64.1 kJ mol(-1), respectively.Yayın Study of drying of kappa-carrageenan gel at various temperatures using a fluorescence technique(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008-01) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe steady-state fluorescence technique was used to study drying of kappa-carrageenan gel at various temperatures. Pyranine was doped as a fluorescence probe, and scattered light, I-sc, and fluorescence intensities, I, were monitored during drying of these gels. It was observed that I decreased linearly as drying time is increased. The moving boundary model based on Case II diffusion was applied to produce the packing constants, k(0), at higher temperatures. Activation energy for drying was found to be 53.9 kJ mol(-1). Supporting gravimetric and volumetric measurements were also carried out during drying of gels and the corresponding activation energies were determined to be 46.4 and 58.9 kJ mol(-1), respectively.
