Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Determination of Force-Free Wet Adhesion of Mussel-Inspired Polymers To Spin Labeled Surface(Elsevier, 2017) Kırpat, İklima; Göksel, Yaman; Karakuş, Erman; Emrullahoğlu, Mustafa; Akdoğan, YaşarHydration repulsive forces oppose the adhesive interactions, especially in the force-free conditions. Here, we studied spontaneous wet adhesion of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers inspired by marine mussels. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we can monitor spontaneous adhesion of DOPA containing polymer to suspended spin labeled hydrophobic polystyrene nanobeads at molecular level. The surface coverage up to 82% is obtained from EPR measurements. However, in the force-free condition, EPR measurements do not show any detectable DOPA based adhesion to hydrophilic silica nanobead.Article Citation - WoS: 64Citation - Scopus: 70Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Recycled High-Density Polyethylene, Filled With Calcium Carbonate and Fly Ash(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Atikler, Ulaş; Başalp, Dildare; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaIn this study, mechanical and morphological properties of composites made up of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filled with calcium carbonate and fly ash (FA) were studied. Interfacial interactions were modified to improve the filler compatibility and mechanical properties of the composites by surface treatment of the FA filler with 3-amino propyl triethoxy silane. The composites were prepared by using a Thermo Haake Rheomixer. Effect of filler loading and treatment of FA with silane coupling agent on mechanical and morphological properties were investigated and it was found that silane treatment indicated significant improvements on the mechanical properties of the HDPE-FA composites. The improvement with silane treatment of FA was also confirmed by applying the Pukanszky model. Scanning electron microscopy on the fracture surface of composites had given direct evidence of better interfacial adhesion via silane treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 183Citation - Scopus: 190The Effect of Interfacial Interactions on the Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene/Natural Zeolite Composites(Elsevier Ltd., 2004) Metin, Dildare; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Balköse, Devrim; Ülkü, SemraThe effect of interfacial interactions on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/natural zeolite composites was investigated under dry and wet conditions. Interfacial interactions were modified to improve filler compatibility and mechanical properties of the composites by surface treatment of natural zeolite with a non-ionic surface modifier; 3 wt% polyethylene glycol (PEG) and three different types of silane coupling agents; 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AMPTES), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), at four different concentrations (0.5-2 wt%). PP composites containing (2-6 wt%) zeolite were prepared by an extrusion technique. The tensile properties of the composites determined as a function of the filler loading and the concentration of the coupling agents were found to vary with surface treatment of zeolite. Silane treatment indicated significant improvements in the mechanical properties of the composites. According to the dry and wet tensile test results, the maximum improvement in the mechanical properties was obtained for the PP composites containing 1 wt% AMPTES treated zeolite. The improvement in the interfacial interaction was confirmed using a semi-empirical equation developed by Pukanszky. Good agreement was obtained between experimental data and the Pukanszky model prediction. Scanning electron microscopy studies also revealed better dispersion of silane treated filler particles in the PP matrix.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Tensile Adhesion of Type I Collagen To Titanium Alloy and Calcium Phosphate Coated Surfaces With Different Roughness Values(IOS Press, 2002) Özerdem, BarışThe purpose of total joint arthroplasty is to reduce pain and restore function. Its success depends on the formation of a new bone that stabilizes the prosthesis. The proposed solution for this important problem is to have bio-coated implant surfaces which are more conductive to bone growth. Additionally, collagen has long been used as a matrix for medical applications, because of its biocompatibility and adaptability. In this study, a test method for measuring the tensile adhesion strength of collagen to titanium alloy and calcium phosphate coated surfaces with different roughness values was developed, in order to evaluate how well the collagen adheres to the metallic and bio-coated surfaces. A precision motion system was used to stretch gels that were adherent to the plate surfaces. The tests were done in DMEM solution. The adhesive strength between the collagen gel and plate was significantly higher for calcium phosphate coated surfaces. Adhesive strength was highest in the sample with the highest roughness value.
