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 Film formation from nano-sized polystyrene latex particles(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2005-05) Uğur, Şaziye; Elaissari, Abdelhamid; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThis work reports on the steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique for studying film formation from surfactant-free, nano-sized polystyrene (PS) latex particles prepared via emulsion polymerization. The latex films were prepared from pyrene M-labeled PS particles at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min time intervals above the glass transition temperature (T-g) of PS. During the annealing processes, the transparency of the film was improved considerably. Monomer and excimer fluorescence intensities, I-p and I-E respectively, from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of the latex films was monitored by using photon transmission intensity, It,. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined and found to be 10.3 and 50.3 kJ mol(-1). Void closure temperatures, T-v, were determined from the minima of I-tr value. Copyright
