Rotary evaporator drying (R), Sol-gel (S) and titration (T) methods were used as synthesis method. At the same time, the contribution of different production techniques to the functionalization of silica and its effect on its mechanical properties were also investigated. Methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane was used as silane agent in silanation studies. Silica characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction, high resolution scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Zetasizer and wettability measurement. The particle size of the silica particle size RE and S samples, which were determined in the SEM image, respectively, was 19 nm, 14 nm, and the T sample had an irregular structure, so the particle size could not be measured. In Zetasizer analysis, the particle size was measured as 107 nm, 181 nm, and 184 nm, respectively. Purities of silica powders were determined by ICP-MS analysis and their purity values were between 90-99%. Silanability of silica was evaluated with FT-IR and wettability measurements and T sample was obtained as a result. Thus, it is reported that the T sample will bind with more silane agents. In this article, the obtained silica powders were used as the supporting phase in dental composites and the effects of the used supporting phases on the mechanical and physical properties were investigated. As a result of these investigations, it was determined as RE-synthesized silica suitable for use in dental composites.","PeriodicalId":21468,"journal":{"name":"Sakarya University Journal of Science","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139339375","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}

The image processing technique is used for the tests on shaking tables, such as free vibration, simple harmonic and strong ground motion. An approach is proposed for image processing techniques to consider the appropriate filter size. The experiments aimed to determine the displacements at the floor levels and the dynamic characteristics of the structure models. To determine the displacements and frequency responses, results obtained from three different methods, namely the data obtained by accelerometers, image processing technique, and theoretical calculations, were compared. It has been shown that the image processing technique is a good tool compared to frequently used vibration measurements with accelerometers. It is advantageous because it is easier to implement for laboratory experiments and less costly.","PeriodicalId":21468,"journal":{"name":"Sakarya University Journal of Science","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139341031","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}

The comparisons have been carried out regarding the impact on ionic conductivity based on borophene content. Although the studies of borophene's contributions in the literature on the anode component, this study focuses on the cathode contribution for the first time. While MoS2 has been selected as the cathode active material, carbon black has been selected as the electrical conductor, and Li7P3S11 solid electrolyte has been synthesized as an ionic conductor in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur cells. Borophene has been synthesized from boron powder by the exfoliation method. As a cathode-active material, MoS2, containing sulfur, and its 2D material nature, eliminates many of the disadvantages that sulfur exhibits when used alone. To investigate the effect of borophene on ionic conductivity in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur cells, multicomponent composite cathodes were prepared in (MoS2 / Conductive Carbon / Li7P3S11 + Borophene) overall compositions. According to the results, the specific capacity of the cells is affected negatively, while the stability of the cell is affected positively when increased the Borophene amount.","PeriodicalId":21468,"journal":{"name":"Sakarya University Journal of Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139341159","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}

To create more homogenous composites, it is used a nonionic surfactant such as Tritone X-100. The electrical resistance of the materials in each test step was measured and tensile strength tests were also performed to evaluate mechanical properties. Nüve-TK252 Humidification, Schloeder SESD30000 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Hioki RM3548 electrical resistance, Nüve FN120 and FR590 Thermal Shock devices, ,Shimadzu EHF-LV020K2-020 for tensile testing and Thermo Scientific Apreo S (SEM) were used to characterize the samples. For the light test, was also used a solar simulator with 1000 W xenon lamp. As a result, it has been found that electrical resistance of materyale with high graphite levels without zinc oxide have greater stability. The electrical resistance of the materials with ZnO additive have decreased considerably, increased their conductivity, in special stimuli such as light and electricity. Thus, this novel semiconductor can be using as a sensor. P3G2Z (Higher PVC ratio) has a huge change in conductivity after electrostatic discharge. By the way, the highest difference in conductivity was also observed in P3G2Z. Under solar irradiation, it was observed that the resistance of the P2G3Z and P1G1Z composite materials decreased approximately 81 and 23 times, respectively. It proves that these materials have passed into the photosensitive semiconductor state. Obtaining electrical and mechanical data of new composites with doping of PVC polymer with graphite and zinc oxide nanoparticles at different rates will make a great contribution to the sensor, robot, automotive and defense industries.

In this theoretical study, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of CsPbBr3−xIx through density functional theory calculations are investigated. The calculations reveal that the substitution of Br with I leads to a significant reduction in the bandgap of CsPbBr3−xIx, resulting in improved light absorption properties. The band gap can be tuned by using the ratios of Br and I ions in the structure. One of the important results obtained in this study is that when Br and I ions are added to the system, two energy levels close to each other are formed in conduction band minimum (CBM). These two close energy levels may have the effect of increasing the efficiency of CsPbBr3 in harvesting light. Another finding is that the energy level of the conduction band minimum (CBM) and valence band maximum (VBM) can be adjusted using the ratio of the I ion in CsPbBr3−xIx. This is important for the efficiency of perovskite-based solar cells with a layered structure.","PeriodicalId":21468,"journal":{"name":"Sakarya University Journal of Science","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139347538","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}

While numerous studies in the literature have explored BIM awareness in the industry, research specifically focused on students is scarce. Thus, this study aims to contribute a new and current perspective to the existing literature by measuring student awareness based on empirical evidence. By doing so, it intends to provide valuable insights for future research and curriculum development. The survey was conducted as part of the university's BIM course. The research utilized the results of a survey conducted in 2022 involving the participation of 34 fourth-year students in the architecture program. The findings indicate that students have heard about and even utilized the concept of Building Information Modeling, but their knowledge of this technological development needs to be more comprehensive. To assess the students' BIM awareness level, the survey was designed to explore their understanding and proficiency in using BIM. The results revealed that students need to learn more about the technological elements and components that constitute BIM. This limitation hampers their potential to utilize BIM in practice effectively. The outcomes of this study underscore the necessity for architecture education programs to adopt a more comprehensive approach to BIM. Developing educational and informational strategies that enhance students' knowledge of BIM is imperative. The findings of this study serve as a valuable resource for increasing BIM awareness in architectural education and facilitating students' adaptation to this technology. Given the significance of BIM in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, gaining competence in this field will provide students with a significant advantage in their future professional endeavors.","PeriodicalId":21468,"journal":{"name":"Sakarya University Journal of Science","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74000218","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}

This, in turn, affects the behaviour of sepiolite upon calcination at 450ºC in that homogeneous magnesium dissolution gives better structural stability and thus higher amount of open channels with the least amount of magnesium removal from the sepiolite structure. This is verified by specific surface area measurements and rehydration behaviour after the calcination.
