Recovery in the Construction Sector
In the first days of spring, when the sun begins to warm us, people, as if inspired by this remarkable renewal in nature, also start to renew and revitalize themselves.
As the sun begins to warm us in the first days of spring, nature's remarkable transformation inspires people to renew and invigorate themselves as well. The vitality of our surroundings inevitably reflects in the construction sector.
In these days when urban transformation is accelerating, activity is evident in every neighborhood and every street.
As old, traditional, impractical structures give way to new buildings designed with modern techniques and light, practical materials, we meet with you once again with a new issue of Putech&Composites filled with rich and comprehensive content.
I believe that ideas are merely seeds and can be nourished and developed from different sources, thus opening opportunities for major developments. With this conviction, we have included in this issue many useful technical articles prepared by respected academics and leading companies in the sector.
I believe you will find the technical articles titled "Polyurethane-Silica Composites and Column Filler Applications" jointly written by Prof. Dr. Burhan Ateş and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Süleyman Köytepe and their students, and "Polyurethane Synthesis from Carbon Dioxide" jointly prepared by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Atilla M. Taşdelen and his students to be valuable.
Additionally, you will carefully read the technical article by Prof. Dr. Tarık Eren from Yıldız Technical University on "Phosphorus-Containing Polyurethanes Exhibiting Self-Extinguishing Properties" in the following pages.
In the April-May-June issue of Putech&Composites, you will read two important interviews in addition to informative technical articles.
In our pleasant interview with Ömer Can, Marketing and Sales Manager of Derkim Polyurethane, we discussed his professional background, the company's development from the past to the present, and its R&D activities.
In another interview, Adem Kahraman, General Manager of Modelform Chemical Products, answered our questions about the company's history, the products it has provided to the sector, and its sales activities. We present these wonderful interviews for your enjoyment.
As we leave you alone with pages full of technical articles, product presentations, domestic and international news, I hope that the vitality that spring brings to nature will be reflected in your lives as the sprouting of many new, productive ideas and projects.
Happy reading,
Cansu TUNA
