    Synthesis and structural, electrical, optical, and gamma-ray attenuation properties of ZnO-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) composite separately incorporated with CdO, TiO2, and Fe2O3

    Basgoz, Oykum; Guler, Omer; Evin, Ertan; Yavuz, Cagdas; ALMisned, Ghada; Issa, Shams A.M.; Zakaly, Hesham M.H.; Tekin, H.O.

    In this study, Fe2O3, TiO2, and CdO semiconductor metal oxides were separately incorporated into the ZnO-MWCNT composite at different weight percentages. Accordingly, several experimental analyses on electrical, optical, and radiation shielding characteristics of coupled semiconductor metal oxides nanocomposites were performed to determine their monotonic impact on the investigated material properties. Moreover, gamma-ray shielding properties of these novel materials were determined using MCNPX general-purpose Monte Carlo code. At 5% oxide addition, the maximum electrical conductivity was found in all groups for all temperatures. Moreover, 5% oxide reinforcement resulted in the maximum reflection characteristics in all groups. Among the CdO doped materials, the CZnOCd5 sample exhibits the highest electrical conductivity behaviour at room and high temperatures. The Eg value calculated for the CZnOCd5 sample was 3.284 eV. The CZnOCd2.5 and CZnOCd5 samples had the greatest Eg values when compared to the pure sample and the samples from other groups. The CZnOCd5 sample has the highest reflectance value in the CZnOCd group's reflectance graph. On the other hand, the maximum gamma-ray attenuation properties were reported for CZnOCd5 sample. Among the analysed samples, the CZnOCd5 sample's characteristics provide a preliminary motivation for a more comprehensive analysis of this material and assessment of potential radiation protection applications.

    Boron nitride nanosheet-reinforced WNiCoFeCr high-entropy alloys: the role of B4C on the structural, physical, mechanical, and radiological shielding properties

    Kavaz, Esra; Gul, Ali Oktay; Basgoz, Oykum; Guler, Omer; ALMisned, Ghada; Bahceci, Ersin; Guler, Seval Hale; Tekin, H.O.

    The synthesis and extensive characterization of newly developed boron nitride nanosheet (BNNSs)-reinforced WNiCoFeCr high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are presented. The influence of B4C on the structural, physical, mechanical, and nuclear shielding characteristics of synthesized HEAs has been widely examined in terms of its monotonic effects on the behavior changes. The internal morphology and structural characteristics of the fabricated composites are first investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Wear testing is used to determine the coefficient of friction as a function of sliding distance. Experimental gamma ray and neutron setups are created to determine their shielding characteristics against nuclear radiation. Finally, the shielding characteristics of nuclear radiation for gamma ray and fast neutrons are compared extensively to those of many existing and new-generation shielding materials. Among the examined samples, the S2 sample with B4C and BNNSs reinforcement had the greatest mechanical characteristics. Our findings imply that increasing B4C directly contributes to the shielding qualities of nuclear radiation. The B4C created in the structure of BNNSs contributes to the overall properties of HEAs, which are crucial for nuclear applications, since HEAs are being examined as a component of future nuclear reactors. Additionally, B4C is a very versatile material that may be used in circumstances where mechanical and nuclear shielding properties need to be enhanced for a variety of radiation energies.

    The effect of graphene nano-sheet (GNS) weight percentage on mechanical and corrosion properties of AZ61 and AZ91 based magnesium matrix composites

    Guler, Omer; Say, Yakup; Dikici, Burak

    In this study, the effect of graphene nano-sheets (GNSs) on mechanical and corrosion properties of AZ61 and AZ91 based composites was investigated, detail. GNSs have been successfully produced by the liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method and then, added AZ61 and AZ91 matrix with 01, 0.2, and 0.5 wt% GNSs for the production of the composites. The composite compacts were produced by powder metallurgy technique and sintered for 2 h at 500 °C under Ar atmosphere. The composite characterizations were carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM, TEM), electron dispersive spectroscope (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors of the composites have been compared with compression tests and potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) techniques, respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength of the composites increased with increasing GNS amount in both the AZ61 and AZ91 matrix alloys. The most susceptible composites to corrosion for both AZ61 and AZ91 matrix were observed in the 0.5 wt% GNS containing structures. However, there is a certain ratio of GNS in the Mg matrix to achieve good corrosion resistance.

    Carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced magnesium matrix composites: The effect of CNT ratio on their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance

    Say, Yakup; Guler, Omer; Dikici, Burak

    In this study, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of AZ61 and AZ91 magnesium matrix composites reinforced with 01, 0.2, and 0.5 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated, detailly. CNTs have been successfully synthesized with 15–20 nm diameters by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and then, added to magnesium alloys by using the powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The composite compacts were consolidated by cold-pressing under 500 MPa pressure and sintered for 2 h at 500 °C under Ar atmosphere. The characterization studies of the unreinforced alloys and composites were carried out by scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM, TEM), electron dispersive spectroscope (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The mechanical properties and corrosion behaviors of the composites have been compared with compression tests and potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) techniques, respectively. The results showed that the effect of CNTs reinforcement on strength increase was greater in AZ61 series samples than AZ91-based composites. The corrosion results of the presented study showed that the composites reinforced with lower CNTs (such as 0.1 or 0.2 wt%) and unreinforced alloys had better corrosion resistance than high CNTs (such as 0.5 wt%) containing structures. However, the most resistant structure to the corrosion for both AZ61 and AZ91 alloys were obtained in the composites reinforced with 0.2 wt% CNTs.
