Yayın Reversible film formation from PS doped PNIPAM particles in various compositions(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-02) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from polystyrene (PS) doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles was studied using photon transmission technique. The transmitted light intensity, Itr, was monitored during film formation process. Films were prepared by mixing PS and PNIPAM particles in various compositions ranging from 5 to 50 %. Samples were separately heated and cooled in constant rate at temperatures ranging from 10 to 100 C. The increase and decrease in Itr during heating-cooling cycles were explained by void closure and void reconstruction processes. The corresponding activation energies were measured during the reversible film formation process. Percolation model was used to interpret the distribution of PS particles in PNIPAM lattice.Yayın Small molecule diffusion into swelling Iota-Carrageenan gels: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-04) Ataman, Evren; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSmall molecule diffusion into Iota-Carrageenan gel was studied by using steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine, dissolved in water was used as fluorescence probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-p, and scattered light intensity, I-sc, were monitored to study diffusion and swelling processes at various temperatures respectively. Fickian and Li-Tanaka models were elaborated to produce diffusion, D, and collective diffusion, D-0, coefficients. Diffusion and swelling activation energies were also obtained and found to be 20.5 kj mol(-1) and 28.2 kj mol(-1). respectively.Yayın Theory of fluidity of liquids, glass transition, and melting(Elsevier B.V., 2006-03-01) Dimitrov, Ventzislav IvanovThis is a presentation of a rigorous theory of fluidity of liquids, glass transition and melting of solids in the frame of an asymmetric double well potential model. Potential wells are doubled time to time by the local density fluctuations caused by the thermal longitudinal waves. The average frequency of doubling of potential wells is equal to the frequency of the most energetic waves which obey a law similar to Wein's displacement law in black body radiation. Based on the equilibrium thermodynamic theory of fluctuations and the displacement law, a law of linear pre-diffusion mean-square displacement of particles in a solid is derived: the mean-square displacement of molecules within their potential wells increases linearly with temperature. It is shown that when this is broken-down (where the mean-square displacement at a certain temperature rapidly changes its slope as a function of temperature) glass devitrifies and crystal melts, and all possible solid-liquid transitions of a substance occur at the same critical mean-square displacement: any solid (not only crystals) transforms into liquid when the mean-square displacement, as a fraction of the average intermolecular distance, acquires a certain universal critical value - the same for different substances. It is proved that molecules in a liquid perform specific Brownian motion. The average jump distance is a function of temperature and it is much smaller than the nearest intermolecular distances. At a certain temperature, shown to be the Kauzmann temperature, the average jump distance of Brownian motion becomes equal to zero: the supercooled liquid undergoes glass transition. The transition was proven to be a phase transition of the fourth order: the free energy of the system and its first, second and third derivatives are all continuous functions, but its fourth derivative with respect to temperature is discontinuous. Molecular mobility, diffusion and viscosity are obtained as functions of temperature.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 Film formation from nano-sized polystrene latex covered with various TiO2 layers(Wiley, 2006-12) Uğur, Şaziye; Sunay, Selin; Elaissari, Abdelhamid; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady-state fluorescence technique was used for studying film formation from TiO2 covered nano-sized polystyrene latex particles. The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles by covering them with various layers of TiO2 at room temperature. These films then annealed at elevated temperatures in 10 min time interval above glass transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Five different composite films were studied in various TiO2 layer contents. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-P from P was measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Films present significant increase in I-P above the certain onset temperature called minimum film forming temperature, To. However, at higher annealing temperatures, I-P showed a decrease. Increase and decrease in I-P were modeled by void closure and interdiffusion processes and related activation energies were determined, respectively. Dissolution of annealed PS film, with high TiO2 content presented a nice, ordered nanosized ceramic structure, which may predict the construction of nano-layer photonic crystals.Yayın Cryptanalysis of a new substitution-diffusion based image cipher(Elsevier Science BV, 2010-07) Rhouma, Rhouma; Solak, Ercan; Belghith, Safya MdimeghThis paper introduces two different types of attacks on a recently proposed cryptosystem based on chaotic standard and logistic maps. In the two attacks, only a pair of (plaintext/ciphertext) was needed to totally break the cryptosystem.Yayın The effect of clay particles on film formation from polystyrene latex(Wiley, 2006-06) Uğur, Şaziye; Alemdar, Ayşe; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex was performed in the presence of 5% Na-montmorillonite (NaMMT). The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures above the glass-transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Scattered light (I-s) and fluorescence intensity (I-p) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of composite film formation. Minimum film formation temperature, T-o, and healing temperatures, T-h, were determined. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were measured. From these results, it was found that the presence of NaMMT in the PS latex film only affects the minimum film formation, but does not affect the void closure and backbone motion activities.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.Yayın Monitoring small molecule diffusion into hydrogels at various temperatures by fluorescence technique(Elsevier B.V., 2006-12-01) Evingür, Gülşen Akın; Karslı, Kadir; Pekcan, Mehmet Öndersteady state fluorescence technique was used to study small molecule diffusion into polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels at various temperatures. Pyranine (P-y), dissolved in water was introduced as a probe and fluorescence emission (I-p) from Py was monitored during diffusion. Scattered light intensities, I-sc from PAAm gel was also monitored to observe structural variations during diffusion process. Increase in I-P intensity was attributed to P-Y diffusion into PAAm get. On the other hand decrease in I-sc intensity was interpreted as the variation of the spatial heterogeneities in the system. Li-Tanaka and Fickian models were used to quantify the swelling and diffusion experiments and diffusion coefficients were produced in both cases. Related activation energies were also calculated from the corresponding physical processes.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.
