A Kinetic Study Of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Of Styrene With Bis(2-Pyridyl)Ethylenedimethanimine Derivative Ligands, Hülya Arslan, Yasemi̇n Küçük, Ayfer Menteş, Meti̇n Hayri̇ Acar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene was carried out with multidentate nitrogen-based ligands, namely N,N'-bis[phenyl(pyrid-2-yl)methylene] ethane-1,2-diamine (BPDA) and N,N'-bis[methyl(pyrid-2-yl)methylene] ethane-1,2-diamine (BMDA), and catalyst systems at catalyst/ligand molar ratios of 1/0.33, 1/0.5, 1/1, and 1/1.5 by using 2 different initiators, (1-bromoethyl)benzene (BEB) and ethyl-2-bromopropionate (EBP). Linear first-order kinetic plots were observed for ATRP of styrene upon using BPDA as a ligand with both initiators. Even though the linear slopes indicate that radical concentration remains constant during reactions, high molecular weights were obtained at low conversion and showed a linear relation thereafter. To investigate the molecular weight effect, reactions were also …

Biodegradability Of Degradable Mulching Film In A Laboratory-Controlled Composting Test, Xuemei Zhang, Yaxi Huang, Deqiang Li, Zicheng Wen, Baoxun Sui, Zhiyong Liu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of degradable films was prepared, and 2 formulas of polyethylene (PE) films with the highest degradable performance were experimentally determined. These films contained 3.43% and 0.44% stearate, and were denoted as PE-3 and PE-4, respectively. Their biodegradability was studied in a laboratory-controlled composting test using ordinary PE film (OPEF) as a control. Contrast composting experiments indicated that the biodegradability of untreated samples was very low, and that the biodegradation rates of PE films after natural aging were significantly higher. FT-IR analysis showed that OPEF changed little after the composting experiment, and that PE-3 and PE-4 showed a carbonyl …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, electrochemical behaviors of formazans were investigated. The compounds contained CH_3 and OCH_3 groups at the o-, m-, and p-positions of the 1-phenyl ring and an OCH_3 group at the p-position of the 3-phenyl ring. Their electrochemical behaviors, such as the number of electrons transferred, diffusion coefficients, and heterogeneous rate constants, were studied by cyclic voltammetry, ultramicrodisk electrode, and chronoamperometry.

A New Method For Calculating The Vibration-Rotation-Tunneling Spectra Of Molecular Clusters And Its Application To The Water Dimer, Mahi̇r Erteki̇n Ocak

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method is developed for calculating the vibration-rotation-tunneling spectra of molecular clusters consisting of rigid monomers. The method is based on generation of optimized bases for each monomer. First, a sequential symmetry adaptation procedure is developed for relating the symmetries of monomer basis functions with the symmetries of the eigenstates of the cluster. Then this symmetry adaptation procedure is used in the generation of optimized bases and combining them for finding the eigenstates. Symmetry adaptation problems related to the generation of optimized bases are identified and solutions are suggested. The method is applied to the water dimer by using …

A Design For Inspiring Students With Near-Space Exploration, Jeremy Straub, Gail Ingwalson, Ronald Fevig

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

The prevalence of overseas success in engineering education represents a significant threat to the United States. Once the dominant force in advancing technology, the U.S. is seeing significant amounts of research and development work moving overseas. U.S. competitiveness and increased productivity requires demand for high-value-added products (Porter & Rivkin, 2012) such as those designed and developed by those with advanced training in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines. The U.S. economy, thus, depends on the production of skilled scientists and engineers--not just to sustain American leadership in science, but to sustain its national economy.


Reactive Self-Heating Model Of Aluminum Spherical Nanoparticles, Karen S. Martirosyan, Maxim Zyskin Jan 2013

Reactive Self-Heating Model Of Aluminum Spherical Nanoparticles, Karen S. Martirosyan, Maxim Zyskin

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Aluminum-oxygen reaction is important in highly energetic and high pressure generating systems. Recent experiments with nanostructured thermites suggest that oxidation of aluminum nanoparticles occurs in a few microseconds. Such rapid reaction cannot be explained by a conventional diffusion-based mechanism. We present a rapid oxidation model of a spherical aluminum nanoparticle, using Cabrera-Mott moving boundary mechanism, and taking self-heating into account. In our model, electric potential solves the nonlinear Poisson equation. In contrast with the Coulomb potential, a “double-layer” type solution for the potential and self-heating leads to enhanced oxidation rates. At maximal reaction temperature of 2000 C, our model predicts …

Verification Of Information Flow Security In Cyber-Physical Systems, Rav Akella Jan 2013

Verification Of Information Flow Security In Cyber-Physical Systems, Rav Akella

Doctoral Dissertations

"With a growing number of real-world applications that are dependent on computation, securing the information space has become a challenge. The security of information in such applications is often jeopardized by software and hardware failures, intervention of human subjects such as attackers, incorrect design specification and implementation, other social and natural causes. Since these applications are very diverse, often cutting across disciplines a generic approach to detect and mitigate these issues is missing. This dissertation addresses the fundamental problem of verifying information security in a class of real world applications of computation, the Cyber-physical systems (CPSs). One of the motivations …
