Sericin-polymer conjugates: Preparation and physicochemical characterization
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017-07)
Sericin is a protein derived from silkworm, Bombyx mori, and has several useful
properties as a natural biomaterial such as antioxidant character, moisturizing ability,
hydrogel forming property and most importantly ...
Numerical study of enhancement of plastic rotation capacity of seismic steel moment connections by fiber reinforced polymer materials
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008)
Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of welded Steel Moment Frames (SMF) can prevent the beam-column connections to achieve adequate plastic rotations under earthquake induced forces. Reducing the ...
Macromolecular design of hydroxyl functional linear and star-shaped L-lactide and ε-caprolactone biodegradable polyesters utilizing biosafe catalysts for biomedical applications
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017-07)
In the present study, macromolecular design of homo and copolymers of lactide
(LA) and ε-caprolactone (CL) in different structures by the use of biocompatible
catalysts and co-initiators were performed to satisfy a need ...
Development of antibacterial polymer based nanocomposite materials
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015-03)
Human beings are often infected by microorganisms such as bacterium, mold, yeast, virus, etc. in the living environment. It became a requirement and a necessity to create sterile fields in areas. Composite stones are one ...
The effects of diatom frustule filling on the quasi-static and high strain rate mechanical behavior of polymer matrices
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010)
In this study quasi-static tension and quasi-static (1x10-3 and 1x10-1 s-1) and high strain rate (300-600 s-1) compression and quasi-static tensile behavior of diatom frustules-filled, Diatomaceous earth (CD) and Kieslguhr ...
Development of liquid body armor systems
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013)
Body armors consist of fabrics made of high performance fibers which are characterized by low density, high strength, high tenacity and high energy absorption. Soft body armors are produced with lamination of 20-50 layers ...
Preparation and characterization of polymer-zeolite composite membranes
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999)
This thesis is on the investigation of polymer-zeolite composite membranes for gas separation and the effects of a number of parameters such as solvent and zeolite type, zeolite content, polymer/solvent ratio and preparation ...
Development of liquid armor materials and rheological behavior of shear thickening fluids (STFs)
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2011)
Colloidal dispersions have been extensively used in many industrial applications such as cosmetic, paint, cement, lubricant and ceramic. Shear thickening is non- Newtonian flow behavior often observed in concentrated ...
Integration of red & blue TL materials to different polymer end-use
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016-07)
Triboluminescence (TL) is known as the emission of light upon the application of any mechanical force. In this master thesis, two organometallic-based TL crystals, which are EuD4TEA and Cu(NCS)(py)2(PPh3) were obtained and ...
Selective loading of organofilic Ag nanoparticles in PS-PMMA blends
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014)
The association of nanoparticles with polymer blends offers significant features beyond the advantages of polymer composites prepared by single homopolymer. Since the blends undergo phase separation due to incompatibility ...
