Kinetics Of Autoxidative Polymerization Of Sunflowerseed Oil, Hüseyin Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak, Mehmet İşcan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The rates of polymerization of unhydrogenated and hydrogenated sunflowerseed oils were measured under atmospheric conditions in the various containers (glass, PET and metal). Polymerization rates showed a strong dependence on the degree of unsaturation and the light transmittance of the containers. The average molecular weights of polymerized oils were determined by viscosity measurements.The relationship between viscosity and average molecular weight was determined. It is seen that unhydrogenated sunflowerseed oil has a higher polymerization rate than hydrogenated oil samples in a glass container and they has higher viscosity values.

Thermodynamics Of Dissociation Of Strontium, Barium And Nickel Caproates In Water, Hüseyin Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak, Mehmet İşcan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The critical micellar concentration (CMC) and thermodynamic parameters (heat \DeltaH_d, free energy \DeltaG_d, and entropy \DeltaS_d, of dissociation) of aqueous solutions of strontium, barium and nickel caproates were determined by conductivity measurements. A Kraus and Bray-type expression was used to evaluate molecular conductance at infinite dilution and theromdynamic parameters. The results confirm that CMC remains unaffected by temperature in the range of 25-55^{\circ}C, and show that the dissociation of soaps is an exothermic reaction and nonspontaneous.


Some Oxidation Reactions Of Isomeric Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Hydrazides, Rashid Iqbal, Samia Ebrahim, Muhammad Ziaulhaq Jan 1997

Features Of Graft Copolymer Formation Through Reaction Of Functionalized Polyolefins With Poly-\Epsilon-Caprolactam, Elisa Passaglia, Francesco Picchioni, Mauro Aglietto, Giocomo Ruggeri, Francesco Ciardelli

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The reaction in the melt of polyolefins containing 2-diethylsuccinate groups (DES) with poly-\epsilon-caprolactam (PA6) to give a graft copolymer was investigated under different conditions. Even using a large excess of DES groups over the PA6 terminal amino groups the graft copolymer yield resulted only partial thus suggesting a kinetic control of the reaction. The effect of various catalysts was then examined taking into account results obtained in a model reaction between a low molecular weight amine and diethylsuccinate. The results are discussed in terms of side reactions and miscibility of the pristine polymers.

Thermal Stabilities Of Hydroxyalkyl Terminated Polydimethylsiloxane Oligomers, İskender Yi̇lgor, Emel Yi̇lgor

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The thermal stabilities of \alpha,\omega-hydroxypropyl, \alpha,\omega-hydroxybutyl \alpha,\omega-2-hydroxypentyl and \alpha,\omega-hydroxyhexyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers were investigated. Hydroxypropyl and hydroxybutyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers showed degradation upon heating through the loss of functional end groups, as determined by FTIR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. \alpha,\omega-Hydroxyhexyl and \alpha,\omega-2-hydroxypentyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers were stable under similar conditions. The instability of the end groups is due to the backbiting of the terminal silicon in the PDMS by the primary hydroxyl oxygen, leading to the formation of 5-and 6-membered stable, heterocylic compounds. Loss of end groups also resulted in a dramatic increase in the molecular weights of the …

Phase Transition Of Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide Gels In Aqueous Solutions Of Poly(Ethylene Glycol), Nilhan Kayaman, Oğuz Okay, B. M. Baysal Jan 1997

Phase Transition Of Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide Gels In Aqueous Solutions Of Poly(Ethylene Glycol), Nilhan Kayaman, Oğuz Okay, B. M. Baysal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide gels immersed in aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of molecular weight 300 exhibit a discontinuous volume change upon continuous increase of the PEG concentration in the external solution. As the duration of hydrolysis increases, that is, as the proportion of the ionic groups on the network chains increases, the critical concentration of PEG required for a discontinuous volume change rises and, also, the magnitude of the volume collapse becomes larger. Experimental results indicate that the gel collapse in PEG solution is due to the osmotic deswelling of the ionic gel rather than due to a complex formation …


High Rates Of Fluorescence Quenching Between Perylene Dodecyldiimide And Certain \Pi-Electron Donors, S. İçli̇, H. İci̇l, İ. Gürol Jan 1997

High Rates Of Fluorescence Quenching Between Perylene Dodecyldiimide And Certain \Pi-Electron Donors, S. İçli̇, H. İci̇l, İ. Gürol

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Perylene bis-n-dodecyl diimide is found to quench fluorescenc emissions of naphthalene, phenanthrene and dihydrocarbazolocarbazole molecules at rates of 4.4\times10^{11}, 2.8\times10^{12} and 2.5\times10^4 M^{-1} sec^{-1}, in respective order of aromaticity. These unusulally high rates of fluorecence quenchings are attributed to Perrin model static quenching and presence of electron transfer through singlet excited state of perylene diimide. Calculated free energy of electron transfer, \Delta G_{ET}=-120.5 kJ/mol, between perylene diimide and dihydrocarbazolocarbazole is taken as evidence for observation of high fluorescence quenching rate for carbazolocarbazole molecule. Keywords: Fluorescence quenching, Photoenergy transfer, Perylene diimide and Carbazolocarbazole

Possible Roles Of Transition Metals In Cloudwater Relative To The Solar Short-Wave Radiation Absorption Anomaly, Xudong Huang, S. Sinan Keski̇n, Francis Pink, İlhan Ölmez

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Measurements of the absorption of solar short-wave radiation by clouds exceed those predicted by theoretical calculations. In order to understand the roles of minor and trace species in this absorption anomaly, cloudwater samples were collected from individual precipitating clouds and analyzed for trace metals and anionic species. Two generalized approaches were used to assess the direct impact of the absorption of solar short-wave radiation by transition metals and/or their anionic complexes. Additionally, it was suggested that iron and manganese may act as catalyts in the formation of sulfate aerosols which efficiently scatter solar radiation.
