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 Small molecule desorption from a swelling polymeric glass in polymer solution: Energy transfer method(Elsevier Science Sa, 2005-07-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderDirect energy transfer (DET) method conjunction with fast transient fluorescence (FTRF) technique were used to study small molecule desorption from a swelling poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) glass in polymer solution, which is consist of naphthalene (N)-labeled PMMA chains in chlorofrom-heptane mixture.

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 Reordering of polystyrene gel due to multiple swelling in organic vapor fast transient fluorescence technique study(Elsevier Science SA, 2006-07-31) Erdoğan, Matem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderReordering of disc-shaped polystyrene (PS) gels due to multiple swelling, under organic vapor was studied by using Fast Transient Fluorescence (FTRF) technique. Disc-sbaped polystyrene gels were prepared by free radical copolymerization (FRC) of styrene (S) with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM) as a crosslinker. Pyrene (P) was introduced as a fluorescence probe during polymerization. Swelling experiments were performed by using P doped PS gels under chloroform vapor. After each swelling step, gels were left to dry in an oven at 30 degrees C for consecutive reswelling experiments. Decay curves of P were measured and pyrene lifetimes, tau, were determined. It was observed that tau values decreased as swelling recycles were repeated. It was observed that after the fifth swelling step, two different regimes appeared in the swelling processes in PS gels. Swelling time constant, tau(c), and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined by using Li-Tanaka equation for each swelling step in both regimes. It was observed that D-c values decreased up to tenth swelling step and then remained unchanged in both regimes.Yayın Effects of annealing on morphology of polymer/polymer (PS/PMMA) blend; a fluorescence study(John Wiley& Sons Inc, 2006-05-05) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady state fluorescence (SSF) technique conjunction with optical microscopy were used to study the morphology of polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend upon annealing above glass transition in elevated time intervals. The PS/PMMA blends were prepared from dissolution of pyrene (P) and naphthalene (N) labeled PS and PMMA particles, respectively. Monte Carlo Simulations were performed to model the N and P fluorescence intensities (I-N and I-P), Using photon diffusion theory. Number of N and P photons (N-N and N-P) emerging from the front surface of the blend are calculated when only N is excited, where N-P photons are combined of photons from radiative (N-PR) and nonradiative (N-PNR) energy transfer processes. Optical microscopy images were taken at each annealing step to Support Our findings from fluorescence measurements.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.

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.Yayın A model of AlN layer formation during ion nitriding of Al(Springer-Verlag, 2004-11) Dimitrov, Ventzislav IvanovA diffusion model of AlN layer formation by ion nitriding of Al is proposed based on the analysis of atomic transport during the process.
