Yayın Temperature effect on drying and swelling of kappa carrageenan gels: A steady state fluorescence study(Wiley-V C H Verlag GMBH, 2008) Tarı İlgin, Özlem; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderA novel technique based on in situ steady state fluorescence (SSF) measurements is introduced for studying drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan (kappa carrageenan) gels at various temperatures. kappa(-) carrageenan gels were completely dried and then swelled in water vapor. Pyranine was embedded in kappa(-) carrageenan and used as a fluorescence probe. Scattered light intensities, I-SC and fluorescence intensities, I were monitored during the drying and swelling Of kappa(-) carrageenan gels. it was observed that the fluorescence intensity decreased linearly as drying time was increased. A simple model consisting of Case II diffusion was used to quantify the drying processes of the kappa(-) carrageenan gels. This moving boundary model provided packing constant, kappa(o). During swelling, fluorescence intensity increased exponentially as time is increased. The increase in I, was modeled using Li-Tanaka equation from which swelling time constants, tau(c) and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D-c were determined. It was observed that swelling time constants, tau(c) decreased and diffusion coefficients, D-c increased as the swelling temperature was increased. Activation energies for drying and swelling were also obtained and found to be 53.9 and 47.2 kJ mol(-1), respectively.Yayın Dissolution of Al2O3-polystyrene latex composites: A fluorescence study(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005) Uǧur, Şaziye; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports the use of the steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique to study dissolution of a composite film formed from a mixture of Al 2O3 and polystyrene (PS) latex particles. The composite films were cast from dispersion of pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles in Al 2 O3 solution at room temperature and annealed at 280°C temperature for 10 min. Eight different composite films were studied in various latex contents. Toluene was used as dissolution agent. Fluorescence intensities Ip from P were monitored during dissolution. Fickian diffusion was employed to model the dissolution processes. Dissolution coefficients, D d, were measured and found to be increased at high PS content in the composite films.Yayın Determination of pre-gelation and post-gelation activation energies during free radical crosslinking copolymerization(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2005) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderSteady-state fluorescence (SSF) and dilatoraetric techniques were used to study the free-radical crosslinking copolymerization (FCC) of styrene (S) and divinylbenzene (DVB) in bulk. The gel points (t g) were recorded by dilatometry at various DVB contents and temperatures in pre-gelation regime during FCC process. Pyrene (Py) was used as a fluorescence probe for the in situ polymerization experiments. The time required for a sudden increase in the fluorescence intensity of Py was recorded for the samples at various DVB contents and temperatures. Py fluorescence intensity during FCC exhibits a sudden increase corresponding to the reaction time at which the rate of polymerization becomes maximum due to the gel effect in post-gelation regime. The onset of gel effect point (t ge) was determined for various DVB contents and temperatures. The results show that alhough the dilatometric technique recorded the gel point, the fluorescence technique can be used to monitor the onset of the gel effect during S–DVB copolymerization. Pre-gelation and post-gelation actuation energies. ?E pre and ?E post were measured and it is observed that pre-gelation regime needs smaller energies than post-gelation regime during FCC.
