Publication Metadata only Emerging applications of photocurable polymers(CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-01-01) YILDIZ, ZEHRA; KOÇAK, EMİNE DİLARA; YILDIZ Z., KOÇAK E. D.Publication Metadata only Mechanical and acoustic properties of alkali treated agricultural waste reinforced sustainable polyurethane composites(2023-11-01) KOÇAK, EMİNE DİLARA; YILDIZ, ZEHRA; KOÇAK E. D., Olcay H., YILDIZ Z.In this research, polyurethane (PU) foam composites were prepared by using various agricultural waste (rice husk, corn silk, artichoke stem) particles. In order to enhance the compatibility and adhesion between the waste particle and PU matrix, alkali treatment was employed. The alkali treated particles were chemically and morphologically characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, cellulose determination instrument, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effects of the alkali treatment on the structural, morphological, mechanical, and acoustic properties of the overall PU foam composites were all examined. Due to the differences in chemical compositions of the agricultural wastes, the alkali treatment affected the acoustic and mechanical properties of the PU foam composites in varying ratios. The PU foam composite reinforced with alkali treated artichoke stem waste particles showed the highest tensile strength value of 265 kPa, whereas the highest sound absorption value of 40.5% as an enhancement on the acoustic properties compared to the blank PU foam composite was recorded in corn silk waste particle loaded sample.Publication Metadata only Polymers for the textile industry(CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-01-01) KOÇAK, EMİNE DİLARA; YILDIZ, ZEHRA; KOÇAK E.
