    Ultrason kontrast ajanlarının geliştirilmesi ve karakterizasyonu
    (2012) Özdemir, Sevgi Kılıç; Özdemir, Ekrem; Okur, Salih
    Ultrasonografi, bata koroner kalp damar hastalklar (ekokardiografi) olmak üzere, çeitli hastalklarn tehisinde kullanlan ve maliyet etkinli i olan bir diagnostik görüntüleme yöntemidir. Ultrasonda görüntü, transdüserden gönderilen ses dalgalarnn geriye yansmas sonucu olumaktadr. Ancak, baz durumlarda çevreleyen dokulardan gelen arka plan sinyaller yöntemin hassasiyetini azaltmakta, do ru tehis için yeterince net bir görüntü elde edilememektedir. Görüntü kalitesinin artrlmas için kontrast ajan olarak adlandrlan mikroköpükçükler kullanlmaktadr. Ayrca, mikroköpükçükler ilaç, gen, ve DNA tamakta ve kontrollü salmlarda da kullanlmaktadr. Mikroköpükçüklerin bu ve daha nitelikli alanlarda kullanlabilmeleri için, yaplarnn güçlendirilmesi ve stabilitelerinin artrlmalar gerekmektedir.

    Effect of Cnt Incorporation on Pan/Ppy Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method
    (TÜBİTAK, 2020) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Tanoğlu, Metin; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Selamet, Yusuf
    In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added polyacrylonitrile/polypyrrole (PAN/PPy) electrospun nanofibers were produced. Average diameters of the nanofibers were measured as 268 and 153 nm for 10 and 25 wt% of PPy contents, respectively. A relatively higher strain to failure values (23.3%) were observed for the low PPy content. When as-grown CNTs (1 and 4 wt%) were added into the PAN/PPy blends, disordered nanofibers were observed to form within the microstructure. To improve the interfacial properties of CNTs/PAN/PPy composites, CNTs were functionalized with H2SO4/HNO3/HCl solution. The functionalized CNTs were well dispersed within the nanofibers and aligned along the direction of nanofibers. Therefore, beads formation on nanofibers decreased. The impedance of the nanofibers was found to decrease with the PPy content and CNT addition. These nanofibers had a great potential to be used as an electrochemical actuator or a tissue engineering scaffold.

    Cnt Incorporated Polyacrilonitrile/Polypyrrole Nanofibers as Keratinocytes Scaffold
    (Trans Tech Publications, 2019) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Aypek, Hande; Öztürk, Özgür; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Özçivici, Engin; Meşe, Gülistan; Selamet, Yusuf
    Polypyrrole (PPy) is an attractive scaffold material for tissue engineering with its non-toxic and electrically conductive properties. There has not been enough information about PPy usage in skin tissue engineering. The aim of this study is to investigate biocompatibility of polyacrilonitrile (PAN)/PPy nanofibrous scaffold for human keratinocytes. PAN/PPy bicomponent nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning, in various PPy concentrations and with carbon nanotube (CNT) incorporation. The average diameter of electrospun nanofibers decreased with increasing PPy concentration. Further, agglomerated CNTs caused beads and disordered parts on the surface of nanofibers. Biocompatibility of these PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds were analyzed in vitro. Both scaffolds provided adhesion and proliferation of keratinocytes. Nanofiber diameter did not significantly influence the morphology of cells. However, with increasing number of cells, cells stayed among nanofibers and this affected their shape and size. In this study, we demonstrated that PAN/PPy and PAN/PPy/CNT scaffolds enabled the growth of keratinocytes, showing their biocompatibility.

    Preparation and Characterization of Calcium Stearate Powders and Films Prepared by Precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett Techniques
    (American Chemical Society, 2010) Gönen, Mehmet; Öztürk, Serdar; Balköse, Devrim; Okur, Salih; Ülkü, Semra
    The preparation of calcium stearate (CaSt2) using precipitation and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques was investigated in this study. While sodium stearate and calcium chloride were used in the precipitation process, calcium stearate nanofilms were produced from stearic acid and calcium chloride in sodium borate buffer with the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated carboxylate bands at 1577 and 1543 cm-1 in equal intensity in the powder form, but the films had a higher intensity 1577 cm-1 band than the 1543 cm-1 band. This showed the calcium ions associated with the COO- ions in the monodendate and bidendate structures in powders, and it was mainly in the bidendate structure in films. While characteristic peaks of CaSt2 at 2θ values of 6.40° and 19.58° were obtained in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the dried powdered product, no sharp peaks were present in the 13 layer CaSt2 film. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, it was seen that calcium stearate powder had lamellar structure and the average particle size was 600 nm. The AFM picture of the CaSt2 film indicated the surface was not smooth with a peak to valley distance of 6 nm. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
