Asymmetric polymeric thin film membranes are commonly produced by using non-solvent induced phase inversion process. The membrane solution is cast to a glass plate and then it is brought into contact with a coagulant. Coagulant type affects the asymmetric membrane structure and the skin formation according to phase separation mechanism. They are related with the membrane gas permeation and separation performances. In this study, asymmetric blend and mixed matrix membranes were produced by using dry/wet phase inversion method. The dry phase inversion were performed by using infrared light, while the wet phase inversion was carried out by using water vapor with 80% relative humidity as non-solvent. To achieve to desired relative humidity value, the membrane casting processes were executed in a conditioning glove box. Polyethersulfone(PES) and polyimide(PI) were used as polymeric materials for blend membrane preparation. Solvents which were used during membrane solution preparation were dimethylformamid(DMF) and tetrahydrofuran(THF). For the mixed matrix membranes, same polymers were used and the 60nm ZIF-8 was used. ZIF-8 has high gas adsorption capacity and has good chemical and thermal stability. Polymeric blend membranes were prepared with the ratio of PES/PI/20/80, PES/PI/50/50 and PES/PI/80/20. The mixed matrix membranes were produced by adding 10% ZIF-8 filler to the same polymer ratio of blend membranes. H2, CO2 and CH4 permeances of both blend and mixed matrix membranes were measured at 35°C. H2/CO2, CO2/CH4 and H2/CH4 ideal selectivities were calculated. CO2/CH4 mixture separation performances of the membranes were measured by analyzing feed and permeate gas using gas chromatography

Preparation of patterned microfiltration membranes and their performance in crossflow yeast filtration Gençal, Y.; Durmaz, E.N.; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep (Elsevier BV, 2015-2) Patterned microfiltration membranes were fabricated via Phase Separation Micro Fabrication (PSMF) using vapor-induced phase separation to avoid skin formation on the nonpatterned surface. A starting solution of 10% PES, 60% PEG400, 5% water and 25% NMP yielded symmetric membranes with similar pore size all throughout the cross section when 10 or 15 min of vapor exposure was used before further coagulation in water. On the other hand, 5 min of vapor exposure resulted in what may be called inverse asymmetric ...
Modelling of asymmetric membrane formation Mchugh, A.j.; Yılmaz, Levent (American Chemical Society; 1986-09-01) Asymmetric membranes are generally prepared by the phase inversion techniques, the principal steps of which involve casting a thin film of a homogeneous polymer solution onto a suitable substrate, followed by quenching in a nonsolvent bath to precipitate the membrane film. Since most studies of the process has been concerned with the development of specific preparation recipies, explanations of structure formation have generally been ad-hoc and qualitative. This paper presents the results of recent modellin...
Preparation and characterization of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffolds modified with cell-loaded fibrin gel Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2019-03-15) Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of the most commonly used polymers in the production of tissue engineered scaffolds for hard tissue treatments. Incorporation of cells into these scaffolds significantly enhances the healing rate of the tissue. In this study, PCL scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of fibrinogen in order to form a fibrin network between the PCL fibers. By this way, scaffolds would have micro and nanofibers in their structures. Drying of the wet s...
Modification of Acrylic Bone Cements with Oxygen Plasma and Additives Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-09-01) Acrylic bone cements which are commonly used for the fixation of orthopedic prostheses, were prepared at different formulations, by using either ground poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles or homogeneously synthesized PMMA microspheres with application of plasma and addition of various ingredients in order to improve mechanical and thermal properties. PMMA powders having three different particle size (ground and sieved particles with 0-50 mu m (BC1 group, average particle size: 21 mu m) and 50-150 mu ...
Preparation and characterization of ordered TiO2 photocatalysts: films and mesoporous structures Yılmaz, Ayşen; Karslioglu, Osman; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Üner, Deniz (2007-01-01) Two different ordered TiO2 structures were prepared as sol-gel films coated on glass and as mesoporous structures in order to study the effect, in 2-D or in 3-D, of bulk size on photocatalytic activity. Multilayer TiO2 films were coated on glass by the sol-gel dip coating method. The UV-VIS characteristics of the films, with respect to the number of coating layers, were monitored. UV-VIS measurements implied an ordered TiO2 structure grown on ITO glass. The second approach involved loading TiO2 in mesoporou...
