    Pıhtılı, Güzin; Erecevit Sönmez, Pınar; Biryan, Fatih; Torğut, Gülben

    In this study, poly{N-[3-(dimethylamino) propylmethacrylamide-co-acrylonitrile}; [P(DMAPMA-co-AcN)] copolymer was polymerized by free radical polymerization (FRP) in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) initiator at 60°C. The structure of the synthesized polymer was characterized by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. The bactericidal and fungicidal effects of the solutions prepared by adding methanol to this copolymer to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and fungi were evaluated by disk diffusion and broth microdilution method. Since the resistance of bacteria, yeast and fungi, which adversely affect human health, to antibiotics is an important issue, and there has not been any study on the antimicrobial properties of this copolymer, it has directed us to investigate its antimicrobial properties. According to antimicrobial susceptibility tests: The polymer solution showed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action with 12.3–14.3 mm/inhibition zone diameter on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klepsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis bacteria, Candida tropicalis, Epidermophyton floccosum yeast and fungi and showed a narrow spectrum of effect on inhibition of the growth of Candida albicans with 10.3 mm/inhibition zone diameter. No antimicrobial effects were observed on Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value on the test microorganisms was determined as 125–31.25 μl. The data obtained prove that the polymer is in the same group as the interaction of bactericidal and fungicidal drugs. It is also important as a polymer with antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to produce a new polymer with antimicrobial properties. This polymer can be a new and yielding antimicrobial representative in different areas.

    Study on the thermal and electrical properties of novel poly[propyl acrylate-co-phenyl methacrylate] containing acetamido group

    Biryan, Fatih; Pihtili, Güzin

    In the available research, firstly a new 3-acetamido phenyl acrylate (APhA) monomer and a novel copolymer containing acetamido phenyl group were synthesized. 3-acetamido phenyl acrylate (APhA) monomer was acquired by the reaction of acryloyl chloride and N-(3-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide. 3-acetamido propyl methacrylate (AAPMA) monomer was prepared in our previous study. A series of copolymers were prepared using these monomers in different mole ratios by free-radical polymerization method at 70 °C The structure of P(AAPMA-co-APhA) copolymer systems was characterized by FT-IR and NMR techniques. Thermal characteristics of P(AAPMA-co-APhA) copolymers were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) in an N2 atmosphere. Due to the presence of the amide group, we can say that the polymer with the least weight loss and the highest residue percentage at 500 °C is poly(APhA). AC electrical conductivity and dielectric and electrical parameters were analyzed in a range of 100 Hz–20 kHz frequency. The dielectric constant values of poly(AAPMA-co-APhA0.63) and P(AAPMA-co-APhA0.30) were 4.98 and 4.57 respectively. According to the results, the dielectric value decreased as the APhA units increased.

    Fabrication of a novel acrylate polymer bearing chalcone and amide groups and investigation of its thermal and isoconversional kinetic analysis

    Biryan, Fatih; Pihtili, Güzin

    The aim of the article was to examine the thermal degradation, thermal decomposition kinetics and dielectric behavior of novel poly(APHP-Am–Ac). For this purpose, the novel monomer, 4-(3-(4-acetamidophenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)phenyl acrylate (APHP-Am–Ac), was synthesized from 1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) prop-2-en-1-one (APHP) and acetic anhydride reaction. The homopolymer P(APHP-Am–Ac) was prepared by free radical polymerization within dimethylformamide at 80 °C. The presence of rigid and bulky chalcone units in polymer side chains significantly improved the solubility of polyamides, giving them an amorphous nature and good thermal stability. The structural characterization of homopolymer was accomplished using FT-IR and NMR techniques. The thermal stability and degradation features of homopolymer have been performed by using TG analysis and FT-IR during partial degradation at different temperatures. The glass transition temperature of homopolymer was determined by DSC analysis. For thermal decomposition kinetics of poly(APHP-Am–Ac), Flynn–Wall–Ozawa and Kissinger methods were applied to thermogravimetric curves and apparent activation energies (Ea) calculated from these two methods. According to FWO, the activation energy (Ea) of the first step and the second step was found as: 157.78 kJ mol−1 and 151.81 kJ mol−1, respectively. For Kissinger’s model, Ea was calculated as 154.3 kJ mol−1 and 142.83 kJ mol−1, respectively. The dielectric and conductivity measurements of homopolymer were investigated by impedance analyzer technique in a range of 10 Hz–20 kHz frequency at different temperatures (from 25 to 120 °C). The results have been plotted as a function of frequency and temperatures. The values increased significantly with temperature.

    In this study, firstly 7-hydroxy-4-chloroethyl coumarin compound was synthesized in accordance with the literature (Peterson et al. in Macromol Chem Phys 202: 775–784, 2001). Then, this compound was reacted with acryloyl chloride to form the 4-(chloromethyl)-2-oxo-2H chromen-7-yl-acrylate) monomer. A series of copolymers were prepared using this monomer and n-butyl acrylate monomer. TGA analysis system was used to examine the thermal properties of homopolymers and copolymers. The activation energies were calculated for thermal decomposition of homopolymer and certain copolymers according to Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method. TGA measurements were taken at different heating rates and given comparatively. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were determined by DSC analysis and these results were given comparatively. For investigating the dielectric properties of copolymers, dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, and ac conductivity values were calculated in the range of 100 Hz–20 kHz frequencies. The results were plotted as a function of frequency. In addition, dielectric behaviors of residues were determined after heating to the first decay temperature of the two-stage decay polymers and compared with the first states.

    Pihtili, Güzin; Torğut, Gülben; Biryan, Fatih

    The dielectric and electrical conductivity properties of two-armed poly(Ɛ-CL-co-BMA) copolymer and adding bentonite forms were studied. The effect of the bentonite was investigated at different quantities (%3wt, %6wt, %15 wt). The measurements were performed at frequencies between 100 Hz to 10 kHz at room temperature, and the dielectric permittivity (ε′), the dielectric loss factor (ɛ″) and conductivity (σac) were calculated. ε′ and ɛ″ increased with increasing bentonite content. In addition, changes of susceptance (B) and impedance (IZI) were examined at different frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 10 kHz in order to investigate the effect of bentonite loading. As frequency increases, (B) increases linearly, whereas IZI decreases and remains constant at high frequencies. Two-armed copolymer synthesized using ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and its composites prepared with bentonite were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and SEM. Thermal behaviors were examined by TGA and DSC methods and the effect of bentonite was discussed.

    Synthesis, thermal degradation and dielectric properties of poly[2-hydroxy,3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl methacrylate]

    Biryan, Fatih; Demirelli, Kadir; Torgut, Gulben; Pihtili, Guzin

    2-Hydroxy-3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl methacrylate (NOPMA) monomer was synthesized from reaction of 2-[(2-naphthyloxy)methyl]oxirane with methacrylic acid in the presence of pyridine. The polymerization of NOPMA was carried out by free radical polymerization method in the presence of AIBN at 60 A degrees C. The structure of monomer and polymer was characterized by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy techniques. The glass transition temperature and average-molecular weights of poly(NOPMA) were measured using differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography, respectively. The thermal degradation behavior of poly(NOPMA) has been investigated by FT-IR studies of the partially degraded polymer and thermogravimetry. The cold ring fractions (CRFs) were collected at two different temperatures, initially fraction-1 (CRF1) is from room temperature to 320 A degrees C, and the other fraction-2 (CRF2) is from 320 to 500 A degrees C. The volatile products of the degradation were trapped at -195 A degrees C (in liquid nitrogen). All the fractions were characterized by FT-IR, H-1 and C-13-NMR spectroscopic techniques, and the cold ring fractions (CRFs) were also characterized by GC-MS. For the degradation of polymer, the major compound between products of CRFs is alpha-naphthol. The GC-MS, FT-IR and NMR data showed that depolymerization corresponding to monomer was not prominent below 320 A degrees C in the thermal degradation of poly(NOPMA). The mode of thermal degradation containing formation of the major products was identified. The dielectric permittivity (epsilon'), the loss factor (epsilon aEuro(3)) and conductivity (sigma(ac)) were measured using a dielectric analyzer in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz.

    The poly[2-hydroxy-3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl] methacrylate [poly(NOPMA)] was used as a novel adsorbent for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) known as a reactive dye. Physico-chemical properties of polymer were analyzed by FT-IR and SEM before and after dye adsorption. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to explain the adsorption equilibrium, and when it was compared with each other it was seen that the adsorption process was well explained by the Langmuir isotherm model and showing a monolayer adsorption capacity for RBBR of 238.10 mg/g. Kinetic models known as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion model were utilized to analyze the mechanism of adsorption, and results indicated that was an adsorption kinetic suitable with the pseudo-second-order. The thermodynamic parameters (∆Ho, ∆So, ∆Go) indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. To optimize the study conditions, the effects of the concentration of RBBR, adsorbent amount and contact time on the adsorption were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). According to RSM results, maximum RBBR removal was reached at the optimum initial dye concentration of 60.85 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 0.04 g/50 mL and contact time of 59.91 min.
