Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Antimicrobial Activity of Tio2-Coated Orthodontic Ceramic Brackets Against Streptococcus Mutans and Candida Albicans(Springer Verlag, 2010) Özyıldız, Figen; Güden, Mustafa; Uzel, Ataç; Karaboz, İsmail; Akil, Övünç; Bulut, H.Polycrystalline alumina ceramic orthodontic brackets were coated with anatase TiO2 film via a sol-gel dip-coating method. The surface structure morphology and composition of the films were evaluated via scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The antimicrobial activity of the ceramic brackets was assessed against two oral pathogens, S. mutans and C. albicans. The results demonstrated that TiO 2-coated brackets exposed to low energy UV-A illumination efficiently reduced the populations of test microorganisms relative to the uncoated brackets. The reduction efficiencies were 98% for S. mutans ATCC 10449 and 93% for C. albicans ATCC 60193. © The Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineering and Springer 2010.Conference Object Alüminyum Oksit Uzun Fiber Destekli Mg Matris Kompozitlerin Statik ve Yüksek Hız Basma Davranışı(Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2004) Akil, Övünç; Güden, Mustafa; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Hall, Ian W.; Taşdemirci, AlperBu çalışmada uzun alüminyum oksit (FP™) fiber destekli magnezyum matris kompozitlerin enine basma davranışının deformasyon hızına bağlı değişimi araştırılmıştır. Silindirik numuneler fiber doğrultusuna dik yönde değişik uzama oranlarında Split Hopkinson basınç çubuğu ve statik mekanik test cihazı kullanılarak test edilmiş uzama-gerilme ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Bunun yanında optik mikroskop ve SEM kullanılarak kırılma mekaniği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda malzemenin enine basma mukavemetinin deformasyon hızı ile arttığı tespit edilmiş olup mikro-yapı incelemesinde deformasyonun ikizlenme ve kayma ile gerçekleştiği belirlenmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 21Effect of Strain Rate on the Compressive Mechanical Behavior of a Continuous Alumina Fiber Reinforced Ze41a Magnesium Alloy Based Composite(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Güden, Mustafa; Akil, Övünç; Taşdemirci, Alper; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin; Hall, Ian W.The compressive mechanical response of an FP™ continuous fiber (35 vol.%) Mg composite has been determined in the transverse and longitudinal directions at quasi-static and high strain rates. It was found that the composite in the transverse direction exhibited strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress and maximum stress within the studied strain-rate range of 1.3 × 10−4 to 1550 s−1. The failure strain in this direction, however, decreased with increasing strain rate. Microscopic observations on the failed samples have shown that the composite failed by shear banding along the diagonal axis, 45° to the loading axis. Twinning was observed in the deformed cross-sections of the samples particularly in and near the shear band region. The strain rate sensitivity of the fracture stress of the composite in transverse direction is attributed to the matrix strain rate sensitivity. In the longitudinal direction, the composite failed by kink formation at quasi-static strain rates, while kinking and splitting were observed at the high strain rates. The maximum stress in the longitudinal direction was, however, found to be strain rate insensitive within the strain rate regime of 1.3 × 10−4 to 500 s−1. In this direction, similar to transverse direction, twinning was observed in the highly deformed kink region. Several different reasons are proposed for the strain rate insensitive compressive strength in this direction.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 36Effect of Strain Rate on the Compression Behaviour of a Woven Fabric S2-Glass Fiber Reinforced Vinyl Ester Composite(Elsevier, 2003) Akil, Övünç; Yıldırım, Uygar; Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.Quasi-static (~10−3s−1) and high strain rate (>500 s−1) compression behavior of an S2-glass woven fabric/vinyl ester composite plate was determined in the in-plane and through-thickness directions. In both directions, modulus and failure strength increased with increasing strain rate. A higher strain rate sensitive modulus was found in the through-thickness direction while a higher strain rate sensitive failure strength was found in the in-plane direction. In the in-plane direction, the failure mode was observed to change from splitting followed by “kink banding” (localized fiber buckling) to predominantly splitting at increasing strain rates, while it remained the same in the through-thickness direction.
