Production and Characterization of Self-Cleaning Clay-Based Roofing Tiles as a Building Material for Environmental Remediation

AHMET YAVAŞ

Within the scope of this thesis, two different semiconductor metal oxide coated visible light-driven self-cleaning clay-roofing tiles have been developed for environmental remediation. A ready-made commercial clay mixture was used for the production of photoactive roofing tiles with iron oxide (α-Fe2O3 phase) and zinc oxide (ZnO) applied as coatings. The main objectives are both to ensure that the applied coatings provide self-cleaning properties by maintaining or even improving the desired physical properties of the tiles and to optimize the firing temperature and coating concentration parame ...Daha fazlası

Evaluation of organic waste materials as bio-polymeric admixtures in cement based composite mortars Organik atık malzemelerin biyo-polimerik katkı olarak çimento bağlayıcılı kompozit harçlarda değerlendirilmesi

Kalkan, Şevket Onur

ABSTRACTIn this study, the effect of a new generation bio-polymeric admixture on the physical and mechanical properties of cement mortars is examined in detail. The bio-polymeric admixture is prepared by grinding egg shells, apricot kernel shells, hazelnut kernel shells, walnut kernel shells, and olive seeds in micronized sizes. The evaluation of the bio-polymeric admixtures, which are produced as wastes, among high production materials such as concrete and mortar derivative products, provides an opportunity for better disposal and management of these wastes.ÖZETBu çalışmada, yeni nesil biyopo ...Daha fazlası
