Effect of triboelectric charges on friction and wear of polymers at macro scale
(Bilkent University, 2017-12)The interest towards the study of underlying mechanism behind tribology has gained enormous attention recently since almost one-fourth of the total produced global energy is consumed by friction and wear. Dry sliding or ... -
Investigation and control of the static electrification in polypropylene
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)The electrostatic charging of polymers due to friction is such a common phenomenon in daily usage of polymers that can be a problematic issue for various applications, such as in electronic devices, textile, space industry ... -
Mechanism of triboelectricity: a novel perspective for studying contact electrification based on metal-polymer and polymer-polymer interactions
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)The static electricity that is generated when two identical or different materials come in contact with each other and separated is a well known physical phenomenon that has been studied for over 25 centuries. Contact ... -
Reclamation of used lubricating oils using magnetic nanoparticles and caustic soda
(Bilkent University, 2017-06)Oils are one of the mostly used lubricants in industry. Chemical oxidation, however, causes depletion of additive materials i.e. antioxidants in lubricants and their usage life time shortens. This causes varnish and sludge ... -
Triboelectric nanogenerators : biomechanical energy harvesting, self powered sensor and wearable applications
(Bilkent University, 2017-09)One of the biggest challenges ahead massive advancement of electronic tech-nology is increasing energy consumption. A closer consideration on draining of fossil reserves and rapid development of wearable and portable ...
