Publication Mesoscale morphologies of nafion-based blend membranes by dissipative particle dynamics(Mdpi, 2021-05-28) Şen, Ünal; Özdemir, Mehmet; Erkartal, Mustafa; Kaya, Alaattin Metin; Manda, Abdullah A.; Oveisi, Ali Reza; Ali Aboudzadeh, M.; Tokumasu, Takashi; KAYA, ALAATTİN METİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü.; 0000-0002-1940-8749 ; AAC-4540-2020Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) composed of polymer or polymer blend is a vital element in PEM fuel cell that allows proton transport and serves as a barrier between fuel and oxygen. Understanding the microscopic phase behavior in polymer blends is very crucial to design alternative cost-effective proton-conducting materials. In this study, the mesoscale morphologies of Nafion/poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) (Nafion-PVTri) and Nafion/poly(vinyl phosphonic acid) (Nafion-PVPA) blend membranes were studied by dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation technique. Simulation results indicate that both blend membranes can form a phase-separated microstructure due to the different hydrophobic and hydrophilic character of different polymer chains and different segments in the same polymer chain. There is a strong, attractive interaction between the phosphonic acid and sulfonic acid groups and a very strong repulsive interaction between the fluorinated and phosphonic acid groups in the Nafion-PVPA blend membrane. By increasing the PVPA content in the blend membrane, the PVPA clusters' size gradually increases and forms a continuous phase. On the other hand, repulsive interaction between fluorinated and triazole units in the Nafion-PVTri blend is not very strong compared to the Nafion-PVPA blend, which results in different phase behavior in Nafion-PVTri blend membrane. This relatively lower repulsive interaction causes Nafion-PVTri blend membrane to have non-continuous phases regardless of the composition.Publication Thermal and mechanical properties of a new insulation composite material(Gmbh, 2023-07-21) Koçyiğit, Fatih; Kaya, Alaattin Metin; KAYA, ALAATTİN METİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Makine Mühendisliği; 0000-0002-1940-8749; AAC-4540-2020The Taguchi optimization method was used to optimize waste and natural different components such as waste marble dust, expanded perlite, perlite aggregate size, cement, and molten tragacanth in the production of new insulation composite material. Compressive strength, thermal conductivity, abrasion loss, and water adsorption properties of the developed composite material were investigated. Taguchi's standard L18 array was chosen for optimization of these four components with different levels. Response plots were created using the Taguchi and the optimum test condition was determined. The insulation composite material with the best thermal and mechanical properties was obtained under the condition of waste marble dust (1), expanded perlite (1), perlite aggregate size (1) and molten tragacanth (1). In addition, using the anova (Analysis of Variance), percentage impacts on the mechanical and thermal properties of the test parameters were determined. Statistical values obtained from anova and mathematical models are developed by using multi-linear regression method. It was found that the mathematical model and the experimental results were quite compatible. The optimum test conditions detected were verified by confirmation experiments. Confirmation experiment results were obtained between 99.9 % confidence interval values.
