Novel metal-free catalysts were synthesized form maleic acid (MA) and citric acid (CA) based polymers for hydrogen generation form NaBH4. Surfactant-free-self-emulsion polymerization technique was used to synthesize poly(Maleic acid)(poly(MA)), poly(Citric acid)(poly(CA)) and poly(Maleic acid-co-Citric Acid) poly(MA-co-CA)) polymeric micro-particles in a single step. The prepared catalysts were characterized by zeta potential, SEM, FTIR and TGA. The hydrodynamic diameter of the poly(MA), poly(CA) and poly(MA-co-CA) micro-particles were found to be 0.681, 1.273, 1.604 mu m and the zeta potentia ...Daha fazlası
In this study, the poly (Castor Oil) (p(CO)) organo-particle from natural castor oil (CO) was synthesized for the first time in literature for sodium boron hydride (NaBH4) methanolysis hydrogen production.

The use of the metal free catalysts synthesized form natural and environmental friendly materials for fast generation of hydrogen is accomplished form sodium borohydride (NaBH4) methanolysis assays. Thus, green and metal free-catalysts were prepared form natural resources of ginger oil (GO). Polymeric GO particles were synthesized via emulsion polymerization technique and characterized in detail. The hydrodynamic diameters of p(GO) particles were found to be in the 220 nm and the zeta potential was - 162.48 mV. TGA results showed that thermal decomposition of microparticles was gradually conti ...Daha fazlası
Over or under the application of fertilizers raises concerns about soil and environmental degradation, and the recently developed controlled application of fertilizers is the focus of addressing these concerns. In this study, we aimed to synthesize a new N,N-Dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm)-Maleic Acid (MA) - Starch (St)-based superabsorbent (p(DMAAm-co-MA-co-St) (DMSt(1))) and to evaluate the suitability of controlled release fertilizers in lettuce cultivation.

In the present work, TiO2 nanotubes (TNT) and carbon-doped TiO2 nanotubes (C-TNT) were produced via the anodization method. Carbon doping was performed on TNT in a tubular oven employing two different 15 cm3/min total flow rates with varying compositions of acetylene (C2H2) and argon (Ar) as VC2H2/Ar = 7/93 (1 cm3/min C2H2 14 cm3/min Ar) for C-TNT (7:93) and VC2H2/Ar = 33/67 (5 cm3/min C2H2 10 cm3/min Ar) for C-TNT (33:67). The synthesized C-doped TNT was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD, Raman spectra, and SEM result ...Daha fazlası
Recently, the use of polymers in agricultural and horticultural applications has been seen as a solution to reduce water consumption and excess fertilizer use in particularly. In this study, macrogels were synthesized to allow fertilizer species and water to be controlled and released in the soil. A natural macrogel derived from N,N-Dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm), Maleic Acid (MA) and Citric Acid (CA) was selected because of its ability to absorb/release a large amount of water and to have modifiable functional groups. Urea, which is an abundant source of nitrogen, was chosen to model the fertiliz ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to synthesize organo-hydrogels, by using agar, glycerol and different amounts of castor oil in one step, with biocompatible, blood-compatible and antioxidant properties using a new approach to the synthesis of smart polymers.
