    Effects of nanographene added to the matrix material at different rates on the Charpy impact energy
    (Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2021) Demirci, Ibrahim; Saritas, Ismail
    In this study, the Charpy impact behaviors and hardness values of nanographene-added epoxies, which are used in the aviation and space, automotive, and maritime industries that require advanced technology, were investigated. The additive ratio of nanographene used as the filling material in the matrix should be determined. Otherwise, poorly determined additive ratios reduce the impact resistance of the epoxies. In this study, nano graphene additive rates were determined as 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.2% by weight. Charpy impact tests were performed on the epoxy composites at these ratios and their hardness values were determined. A comment was made regarding the link between the increased nanographene values and hardness.

    Fracture toughness (Mode I) characterization of SiO2 nanoparticle filled basalt/epoxy filament wound composite ring with split-disk test method
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017) Demirci, Mehmet Turan; Tarakcioglu, Necmettin; Avci, Ahmet; Akdemir, Ahmet; Demirci, Ibrahim
    Matrix cracking which is the major initial form of damage in fiber reinforced polymer composites plays significant role in determining the fracture toughness. The fast crack propagation in polymer matrix causes to decrease the fracture toughness of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite. In order to retard the fast crack propagation in polymer matrix and provide to increase of the fracture toughness of FRP composite, the polymer matrix of FRP composite is modified by filling the different kinds of nano particles. In such a way, the crack propagation leads to retard and dissipate the stress concentration affected to form the fiber cracks along of fibers in composite structure. In this study, basalt fiber was used as reinforcement material in +/-[55]6 filament wound ring composite for creating the alternative to carbon, kevlar and glass fibers, to contribute to the research studies and literature. SiO2 nanoparticles that provides to form the effects of fracture toughness mechanism based on the effect of retarding crack propagation were filled into epoxy matrix to increase the mechanical properties and fracture toughness of +/-[55]6 filament wound BFR/Epoxy ring composite. The split-disk tensile tests of single edge notched and un-notched +/- 155]6 filament wound BFR/Epoxy ring composite specimens were conducted to determine the mechanical properties and mode I fracture toughness. SiO2 nanoparticle addition into epoxy matrix of +/-[55]6 filament wound BFR/Epoxy ring composites has given the results of hoop tensile stress within the range of 27.7-30.3%. The fracture toughness of composite ring specimen was specified by ASTM E 399-12E3 by adapting to the directed mode I crack propagation and compared with each other. An effective increase in mode I fracture toughness of 43%-50% was obtained at 4 wt% addition level of SiO2 nanoparticles. The crack branching in epoxy matrix provided by SiO2 nanoparticle, matrix cracking, debonding, delamination and fiber breakage failures has been observed via microscope and SEM analysis.

    Impact of Obesity on the Metabolic Control of Type 2 Diabetes: Results of the Turkish Nationwide Survey of Glycemic and Other Metabolic Parameters of Patients with Diabetes Mellitus (TEMD Obesity Study)
    (KARGER, 2019) Sonmez, Alper; Yumuk, Volkan; Haymana, Cem; Demirci, Ibrahim; Barcin, Cem; Kiyici, Sinem; Guldiken, Sibel; Örük, Gonca; Ozgen Saydam, Basak; Baldane, Süleyman; Kutlutürk, Faruk; Küçükler, Ferit Kerim; Deyneli, Oğuzhan; Çetinarslan, Berrin; Sabuncu, Tevfik; Bayram, Fahri; Satman, Ilhan; TEMD Study Group
    Background: Obesity is the main obstacle for metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Turkey has the highest prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in Europe. The effect of obesity on the metabolic control, and the macro-and microvascular complications of patients are not apparent. Objectives: This nationwide survey aimed to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among patients with type 2 diabetes and to search for the impact of obesity on the metabolic control of these patients. We also investigated the independent associates of obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients who were under follow-up for at least 1 year in 69 tertiary healthcare units in 37 cities. The demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data including medications were recorded. Patients were excluded if they were pregnant, younger than 18 years, had decompensated liver disease, psychiatric disorders interfering with cognition or compliance, had bariatric surgery, or were undergoing renal replacement therapy. Results: Only 10% of patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 4,648) had normal body mass indexes (BMI), while the others were affected by overweight (31%) or obesity (59%). Women had a significantly higher prevalence of obesity (53.4 vs. 40%) and severe obesity (16.6 vs. 3.3%). Significant associations were present between high BMI levels and lower education levels, intake of insulin, antihypertensives and statins, poor metabolic control, or the presence of microvascular complications. Age, gender, level of education, smoking, and physical inactivity were the independent associates of obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: The TEMD Obesity Study shows that obesity is a major determinant of the poor metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. These results underline the importance of prevention and management of obesity to improve health care in patients with type 2 diabetes. Also, the results point out the independent sociodemographic and clinical associates of obesity, which should be the prior targets to overcome, in the national fight with obesity.
