As fillers, sepiolite and alkyl ammonium salt modified sepiolite were used in the preparation of the hydrogel composites. Characterization of the hydrogel composites was carried out with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Swelling of the hydrogel composites as a function of time was investigated with tea-bag method. Reswelling ability of the hydrogel composites was revealed after the three cycles. In the third swelling test, the swelling percentage of the NVP hydrogel was about 1690%. The swelling percentage of the NVP+MSP hydrogel composite increased from approximately 1610% to 1760% after the three repeated swelling tests. The hydrogel composite including modified sepiolite showed higher equilibrium water content (EWC) in the distilled water and at different pHs compared to other samples. The highest EWC value was obtained for the hydrogel composite including modified sepiolite (0.9637) in alkali conditions. Water diffusion mechanism of the hydrogel composites was examined based on the Fickian diffusion index (n). n values of the hydrogel composites were lower than 0.5 which is indication of water diffusion governed by less Fickian diffusion mechanism. The results showed that hydrogel composites can be used in various applications required the reswelling ability and high EWC value.","PeriodicalId":17899,"journal":{"name":"Konya Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74597369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, ODS IN718 alloys have been produced using conventional powder metallurgy (PM) and novel selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing. The effect of processing routes on the microstructure, in particular on the nano-oxide formation and structure has been investigated. It has been found that the powder metallurgy method that consists of compressing followed by sintering at 1250 and 1500 °C results in a nano-granular structure with homogenously distributed fine nano-oxides having a high number density. Similarly, SLM results in a high number density of fine nano-oxides; however, the particles exist in groups with the grains/cells. The nano-oxides are determined to be Y2Ti2O7, Y2TiO5 or YTiO3 and Y-Al-O. The deviation in the lattice parameters of Y2Ti2O7 infers the existence of some Al in the structure.

In a changing and developing world, consumers now want to reach healthier, fresher, and more diverse foods. In response to consumer demands and expectations, the food sector has focused on developing active and intelligent packaging. The purpose of active packaging is to protect the properties of the food by interacting with the coating material and prolonging the shelf life. In this context, it is aimed to prepare active package films by integrating bioactive agents into films prepared based on biodegradable polymers. It is an important point that is determined how the characteristics of the films such as morphology, molecular structure, surface property, and antimicrobial activity, will shift depending on the type and quantity of bioactive agent addition. Based on this, packaging films loaded with different concentrations of orange peel essential oil (OEO) (25, 50 and 100% of total polymer weight) were produced on the basis of chitosan and gelatin natural polymers. The changes that occur in the active films as a result of the increasing amounts of oil were revealed by determining the molecular structure, surface property, morphological characteristics, solubility quality, and antibacterial activity. The solubility of the films, which is an effective parameter in the evaluation of the environmental impact of the films that will be released as waste after use, varied between 20% and 25% at the end of 48 hours. The 100OEO@CH:GEL film showed the highest antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.","PeriodicalId":17899,"journal":{"name":"Konya Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85884553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Availability of the epoch and phase/code signal channels, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), code multipath, and cycle slips were analyzed for the geodetic-grade and low-cost ZED-F9P u-blox GNSS receivers. One month’s data of GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations were analysed using the RINEX files of the receivers. The results showed that the epoch availability of the geodetic-grade and u-blox GNSS receiver is comparable to each other, while the availability of phase/code signal channels of the geodetic-grade receiver is higher than the u-blox receiver. In terms of data quality, SNR values from both receivers are comparable, while the multipath level of the u-blox GNSS receiver is significantly higher than the geodetic-grade one.

The adverse effects of non-homogeneous temperature distribution on electrically driven vehicles have demonstrated the necessity of a thermal management system. The most used thermal management systems in practice are air-cooled, cooling plate (pipe) systems and direct dielectric cooling systems, which have recently become widespread. This study focused on the thermal analyses of the different thermal cooling methods. All analyses have been conducted using Ansys Fluent software.

In order to improve the results, the swap method, the shift method, and the symmetry method are added to DPSO. The symmetry method is a new and successful method. The variations of the DPSO occurred according to the selected method type (DPSO1 (swap method), DPSO2 (shift method), DPSO3 (swap and shift methods), DPSO4 (symmetry method), DPSO5 (swap, shift, and symmetry methods), DPSO6 (swap, shift, symmetry, and 2-opt methods)).
