    Study on critical behaviour in N-isopropyl acrylamide gels by using fluorescence technique
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2006-11) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    The steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was used to study the sol-gel transition for the solution free radical crosslinking copolymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPA), with N,N'-methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. Pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, trisodium salt, HPTS) was used as a floroprobe for monitoring the polymerization. Pyranine molecules start to bind to NIPA polymer chains upon the initiation of the polymerization, thus the spectra of the bonded pyranines shift to the shorter wavelengths. The get fraction exponent beta and the weight average degree of polymerization exponent gamma' agree best with the mean-field (Flory-Stockmayer) results near the gel point for various crosslinker contents.

    Sorption and slow release kinetics of PAAM gels at various temperatures
    (Freund Publishing House Ltd, 2007-11) Akın Evingür, Gülşen; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Small molecule sorption and slow release in and out of polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels were studied by using steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique. Pyranine (P-y) dissolved in water used as a probe. Fluorescence emission intensity, I-p from P-y was used to monitor for studying sorption and slow release processes at various temperatures. Sorption and slow release processes were analyzed by using Fickian diffusion model and coefficients were obtained. Related activation energies were also calculated for the corresponding physical processes.
