A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tubular rheometer for polymer melt systems is described. This technique allows the viscosity to be determined over a range of shear rates. It relies upon obtaining steady-state velocity profiles in tubular pipes using MRI and simultaneously measuring the pressure drop. In these experiments, the shear viscosity of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) melt was measured at shear rates between 1.8 and 12.1 s(-1) and was found to be approximately 117.7 Pa.s. The viscosity was also determined using a parallel plate rheometer in which it was found to vary slightly with shear rate, ranging from 113.9 to 107.2 Pa.s, comparing favorably with the MRI determined values. MRI is noninvasive and nondestructive and can be applied to opaque systems; hence, it has the potential to be used for in-process monitoring.

Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Single, Bilayer Graphene, and Graphite Gholivand, Hamed; Donmezer, Nazli (2016-10-12) In this study, ab-initio calculations were performed to obtain phonon dispersions of single, bilayer graphene, and graphite structures. Using these dispersions single mode relaxation times, thermal conductivities, and mean free paths (MFPs) have been calculated. Finally, calculated variables were used to understand the effects of additional layers to thermophysical properties, phonon mode contributions to thermal conductivity, and the limits for ballistic-diffusive heat transfer of single, bilayer graphene,...
Enhancing induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography ICMREIT image reconstruction NAJI, NASHWAN; EROĞLU, HASAN HÜSEYİN; SÜMSER, KEMAL; SADIGHI, MEHDI; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2016-02-15) Induced Current Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (ICMREIT) is an emerging imaging methodology that utilizes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to visualize the electrical conductivity as a new contrast. In ICMREIT, by fast switching of gradient fields of Magnetic Resonance (MR) system eddy currents are induced in the imaging volume. The secondary magnetic field generated by the induced eddy currents can be extracted from the MR phase images. Image reconstruction algorithms then us...
Magnetic resonance imaging of polymer melt flows Uludağ, Yusuf; Powell, RL; Barall, G (2000-01-01) A tubular rheometry that is based on obtaining velocity profiles by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) and measuring pressure drop of the flow is used for the polymer melts. This technique allows one to get viscosity data potentially over many decades of shear rate region in a single measurement. In this study, we examined polyethylene melt as the flow medium. Despite the low shear rates attained, our results reveal that this non-invasive and non-destructive method is promising for constructing an on...
Synthesis and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles: Toxicity Analyses on Different Cell Lines Yalcin, Serap; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Unsoy, Gozde; Garip, Immihan Ceren; Mumcuoglu, Zahide Didem; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-01-01) In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) coated magnetic nanoparticles were prepared which are targetable to tumor cells in the presence of a magnetic field. The structural properties, functional groups, size distribution, and magnetic properties of the synthesized PHB coated magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometry, and thermogravimetric analysis. PHB coa...
Experimental and mathematical investigation of mass transfer in food andhydrogel systems using magnetic resonance imaging and NMR relaxometry Çıkrıkcı, Sevil; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019) Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are well-known non-invasive characterization methods used in a wide range of areas; from medical to food applications. NMR experiments are conducted either through spectroscopy with high resolution systems or with relaxometery (Time Domain NMR) through mid or low field systems. Time domain NMR is primarily based on relaxation times and diffusion measurements from the signal coming from the whole sample while MRI enables to visualize the i...
