    Small molecule diffusion into swelling Iota-Carrageenan gels: A fluorescence study
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-04) Ataman, Evren; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Small 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.

    Film formation from pure and mixed latices; transient fluorescence study
    (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2005-11-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    A 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.

    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 Önder
    steady 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.
