N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, NVP, was polymerized by {u10004A}-radiation in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and under vacuum at different periods. Polymerization also conducted by using chemical initiator, {u100092}-Azoisobutyronitrile, AIBN, in bulk at different temperatures and times. The activation energy for polymerization was found from Arrhenius plot as 31,8 kJ/mol. By using the Fox-Flory equation T{u10004A} and k values calculated for each polymerization methods. The polymer obtained was white gel type. The different types of polymer obtained were investigated by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, DSC, TGA and viscosity measurement methods. According to the FT-IR and NMR results, the polymerizations proceeded via vinyl group. As expected, solution viscosity measurements and DSC results showed that the glass transition temperature of polymer increases with increasing molecular weight.

Polymerization and polymer characterization of n-vinylcaprolactam
Polat, Özlem; Usanmaz, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2005)
In this study, N-vinylcaprolactam was polymerized by radiation in the solid state. The polymerization was carried out at room temperayure under vacuum and open to atmosphere respectively. The polymerization mechanism showed autoacceleration and the rate of polymerization was higher in the presence of oxygen. However the limiting conversion was 100% under vacuum conditions and 90% in the present of oxygen. This is due to the low molecular weight olgomer formation in the presence of oxygen. The polymers were ...

Ecevit, Safiye Tuba; Aras, Leyla; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012)
The synthesis of ion-exchange resin which can be used in various separation and chemical purposes, such as diffusion dialysis, electro dialysis, electrolysis and fuel cells has of considerable interest. For all these applications, the interactions of the ionic groups and the resulted morphologies are critical for establishing the unique properties. Considerable researches have been continued to understand the microstructure of these materials. The aim of this study is to synthesize polypropylene (PP) based ...
Conductive and electrochromic properties of poly(p-phenylene vinylene)
Öztürk, Tuğba; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2005)
P-xylene-bis(diethylsulphonium chloride) (PXBDC) monomer was synthesized by the reaction of a,a-dichloro-p-xylene with tetrahydrothiophene or diethyl sulphide. Electrochemical behavior of this monomer (PXBDC) was examined by cyclic voltametry. Polymerization was achieved both by using electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. In the electrochemical technique, PPV was synthesized by constant potential electrolysis in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB) solvent-electrolyte ...
Immobilization of invertase, polyphenol oxidase and glucose oxidase n conducting copolymers of thiophene-capped polytetrahydrofuran and pyrrole
Böyükbayram, Ayşe Elif; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2005)
Immobilization of invertase, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymes were performed in electrochemically synthesized two types of conducting copolymers. One end and two end thiophene-capped polytetrahydrofuran (TPTHF-1 and TPTHF-2) were copolymerized with pyrrole under conditions of constant potential electrolysis. The copolymers were characterized by thermal, spectroscopic and scanning electron microscopy analyses. Immobilization was carried out via entrapment of enzymes in two types of ...
Synthesis and characterization of poly(dihalophenylene oxide)s and its derivatives from diammine bis(trihalophenolato) Cu(II) complexes
Sonsuz, Muammer; Gökağaç Arslan, Gülsün; Department of Chemistry (2004)
In this study, synthesis and characterization of poly(dihalophenylene oxide)s were done by thermal decomposition of diamminebis(trichlorophenolato) copper(II) and diamminebis(tribromophenolato) Cu(II) complexes in solid state. 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) and ammonia were used as ligands in the complex syntheses. The complexes were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, FTIR, DSC, mass spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and C, H, N elemental analyses. Synthesized complexe...
