    Synthesis and characterization of hydrogen bonded 4-octyloxy benzoic acid/sebacic acid binary liquid crystal complex
    (Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi, 2017) Okumuş, Mustafa; Sünkür, Murat
    In this study, the binary liquid crystal complex system was synthesized from mesogenic 4-octyloxy benzoic acid (8BAO) and non-mesogenic sebacic acid (SEA) chemical compounds. The thermal and microstructural properties of the synthesized 8BAO/SEA binary liquid crystal complex system were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The formation of the hydrogen bond between the 8BAO and SEA compounds was confirmed by Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) assays. The DSC and POM results showed that the 8BAO/SEA binary complex exhibited liquid crystalline properties due to the hydrogen bonds formed. The 8BAO/SEA binary liquid crystal complex showed four phase transition peak indicating Cr↔SmG↔SmC↔N↔I phase sequence during continuous heating and cooling by DSC. This phase sequence has also been confirmed by POM observations. Furthermore, the effect of the heating rate on the phase transition temperature and enthalpy change values was investigated, and as the heating rate increased, the phase transition temperature and enthalpy values generally increased. Additionally, the thermal stability factor and the phase transition order parameter were calculated and the phase transitions were found to be regular.

    Investigation of wear behaviours of Al matrix composites reinforced with different B4C rate produced by powder metallurgy method
    (Elsevier, 2017-09) Çelik, Yahya Hışman; Seçilmiş, Kübra
    In this study, the effects of wear behaviours of Al matrix composites reinforced with different B4C rate produced by powder metallurgy method were investigated. Al and B4C powders with purity of 99.9% and sizes of 25–44 µm were prepared as pure Al, 4% B4C/Al, 8% B4C/Al, 12% B4C/Al and 16% B4C/Al. After these prepared mixtures were pressed under 350 MPa, they were sintered for 90 min at 580 °C in atmospheric environment. Microhardness and wear tests of the produced samples were carried out. Wear experiments of these composites were performed with specially manufactured test equipment at different application loads (5 N, 10 N and 15 N), different sliding distances (250 m, 500 m, 750 m and 1000 m) and a constant speed of 0.46 m/s. In addition, optical microscope, SEM, EDS analyses were used to determine the microstructural changes in the worn and unworn surface of the manufactured composite materials. The results of experimental studies show that the increasing the B4C reinforced rate in composites with Al matrix has led to increase of the hardness and to reduce of the wear loss.

    Mesogenic properties of PAA/6BA binary liquid crystal complexes
    (Elsevier, 2018-09-19) Okumuş, Mustafa; Eskalen, Hasan; Sünkür, Murat; Özgan , Şükrü
    A novel supramolecular liquid crystal complex has been designed and formed from pure liquid crystalspara-azoxyanisole (PAA) and 4-hexylbenzoic acid (6BA). Thermal and microstructural properties offormed PAA/6BA binary liquid crystal complex system are investigated by differential scanning calo-rimeter (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Fourier transformedinfrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is used to confirm the formation of hydrogen bond between the PAA and6BA molecules. The XRD results show that the molecular ordering of the hydrogen bonded PAA/6BAcomplex is arranged in the orthorhombic structure. The DSC and POM results clearly indicate that thePAA/6BA binary complex exhibits liquid crystalline properties due to the hydrogen bonds formed be-tween the PAA and 6BA molecules. The PAA/6BA complex shows the phase transition peaks indicatingCr/N/I and I/N/SmA/Cr phase sequence during continuous heating and cooling, respectively, byDSC. These phase sequences have also been confirmed by POM observations. Furthermore, the effect ofthe heating rate on the phase transition temperature values is investigated. As the heating rate increases,the phase transition temperature values increase as well. Moreover, the activation energies for the phasetransitions of the PAA/6BA liquid crystal complex are calculated by using Kissinger, Ozawa and Takhormethods. The calculated results clearly show that the phase transitions are regular.

    Microstructure and mechanical properties of AA7075/AA5182 jointed byFSW
    (Elsevier, 2019-06) Çetkin, Edip; Çelik, Yahya Hışman; Temiz, Şemsettin
    In this study, AA7075 and AA5182 aluminium alloys were joined using different rotation speeds (980, 1325 and 1800 rpm), feed rates (108 and 233 mm/min) and stirred pins having two different geometries (conical helical and triangular). Microstructures of welding joints were examined by an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Vickers hardness measurements were performed in the welding zone of samples removed from each welded plate. Tensile and fatigue tests were also applied to the test specimens taken from the welded plates. After the tensile tests, the surface fractures and possible welding defects were scanned via SEM. The best mechanical properties were obtained when conical helical shape stirrer pins were used. The values were 265 MPa for tensile test and 159 MPa for fatigue test. The hardness value was very close to each other and varied depending on the rotation speed. The highest hardness value was determined as 87 HV in the weld center at 1325-rpm rotation speed.
