Yayın Preparation and characterization of an acrylated-coumarin-containing photo-crosslinked thiol-ene network: Investigation of the free-volume, thermal, UV, and photoluminescence properties(Wiley, 2025) Uyumaz, Fatmanur; Artuç, Gamze Özgül; Pehlivan, Gamze; Akdoğan, Ayça; Yahşi, Uğur; Tav, Cumali; Bulut, Mustafa; Kahraman, Memet VezirCoumarin, a versatile compound, has attracted great interest in polymer science due to its unique properties and diverse applications. The use of coumarins in polymer research opens avenues for the development of materials with improved functionalities. In this study, an acrylated coumarin (a-coumarin) compound containing polymeric films was obtained via UV curing through a thiol-ene click reaction with a free radical mechanism. The obtained a-coumarin-containing polymeric films were subjected to functional characterization using FTIR and NMR analyses and thermal characterization via DSC and TGA. UV–vis and PL analyses were performed to determine the optical properties. Using positron anni hilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), the free volume and proportional free volume fraction of the films were analyzed both below and above the glass transi tion temperature (Tg). The Tg values obtained from PALS were several degrees lower than those obtained via DSC. A-coumarin additives inhibit segmental mobility, hence reducing the proportional free volume fraction and increasing the Tg. This study is the first in the literature to investigate the free volume properties of coumarin-containing polymeric films. The study reveals the impact of a-coumarin on thermal, optical, and free volume properties, paving the way for the design of advanced functional materials.Yayın Photocatalytic performance of ag-humic acid magnetic nanoparticles for degradation of methylene blue in aqueous medium(Istanbul University Faculty of Aquatic Sciences, 2024) Özdemir Olgun, Fatoş Ayça; Kaba, İbrahimThe discharge of organic dyes from industrial plants processing pharmaceuticals, textile fabrics, leather, and petrochemicals is a great concern in terms of water contamination. Even in small amounts less than 1 mgL-1 , dyes have serious effects on the water quality of the aquatic environment. In this study, methylene blue was chosen as a model to represent the azo-dye class that is non-biodegradable, toxic and mutagenic. Photocatalytic degradation is a sustainable and eco-friendly remediation process to eliminate the undesired effects of dye contamination. The morphology of the catalyst highly influences the properties and the efficiency of the catalytic reaction. A novel composite magnetic nanoparticle was synthesized in core-shell structure and characterized with the aid of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images combined with an elemental distribution image (EDX mapping), Zeta Potential, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analyses and Raman Spectrometer. The electronic properties of the fabricated material were enlightened by Mott Schottky measurements. In optical studies, direct band-gap energies were calculated with the aid of Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS). The effective photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in aqueous medium was maintained with optimum parameters defined within the study. The results support the applicability of the proposed novel magnetic nanoparticle as a catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue in aquatic environment.Yayın Trace determination of cobalt in heather leaf tea by matrix matching calibration assisted flame atomic absorption spectrometry following a dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction utilizing a Schiff base ligand(Elsevier, 2025) Atakol, Arda; Zeydanlı, Damla; Göver, Tuğçe; Atakol, Melike; Serbest, Hakan; Karakebap, Kübra; Büyük, Muhammed Ali; Atakol, Orhan; Bakırdere, SezginIn this study, an analytical method that involves dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction for extraction and enrichment of Co was developed for its determination in heather leaf tea infusions.

However, conventional aqueous electrolytes in ZIBs face significant challenges, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and zinc dendrite formation, compromising their cycling stability and safety. These limitations necessitate innovative electrolyte solutions to enhance ZIB performance while maintaining sustainability. This review explores the potential of natural solvent-based electrolytes derived from renewable and biodegradable resources. Natural deep eutectic solvents (DES), bio-ionic liquids, and biomass-derived organic compounds present unique advantages, including a wider electrochemical stability window, reduced HER activity, and controlled zinc deposition. Examples include DESs based on choline chloride (ChCl), glycerol-based systems, and biomass-derived solvents such as γ-valerolactone (GVL) and aloe vera, demonstrating improved cycling stability and dendrite suppression. Despite their promise, challenges such as high viscosity, cost, and scalability remain critical barriers to commercialization. This review underscores the need for further research to optimize natural solvent formulations, enhance Zn anode compatibility, and integrate these systems into practical applications. By addressing these challenges, natural solvent-based electrolytes can pave the way for safer, high-performance, and environmentally sustainable ZIBs, particularly large-scale energy storage systems.Yayın DPPH antioxidant assays, molecular docking studies and ADMET predictions of some 4-chloromethyl substituted coumarin compounds(Adıyaman Üniversitesi, 2024) Özgül Artuç, GamzeCoumarins and their derivatives, which are secondary metobalites of many plants, are heterocyclic bioactive compounds with various biological properties.
