    Macromol. Mater. Eng. 7/2016
    (Wiley, 2016) Isık, Tuğba; Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, Bo; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    An easy-to-use test platform toward the rapid diagnosis of many life-threating diseases was developed. DNA was isolated from the mixture of BSA+DNA using fibrous commodity polystyrene, which was extremely cheap and can be readily electrospun under ambient conditions. Surface modification with Au nanoparticles improved the performance of the fibrous membrane.

    Anticorrosion Coating for Magnesium Alloys: Electrospun Superhydrophobic Polystyrene/Sio2 Composite Fibers
    (TUBITAK, 2018) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Kap, Özlem; Farzaneh, Amir
    Superhydrophobic nanocomposite coatings for magnesium surfaces with remarkable corrosion resistance were fabricated by electrospinning in the presence of fluorosilane-functionalized silica (SiO2) nanoparticles. The effects of surface-modified silica (mod-SiO2) nanoparticles on the superhydrophobicity and corrosion resistance of polystyrene (PS)/mod-SiO2 fiber coatings were evaluated. The incorporation of the SiO2 nanoparticles endows PS fibers with rough surfaces exhibiting a water contact angle (WCA) of 165◦. The surface wettability, corrosion resistance, and their relation to the inorganic content in the PS fibers and the contact angle of the composite coatings were explored. Analysis of the corrosion results confirmed that the PS/mod-SiO2 coating protected the Mg surface from corrosion. In addition, PS fibers containing mod-SiO2 nanoparticles showed improved hydrophobicity, and excellent corrosion resistance was achieved with PS fibers containing 4 wt% SiO2 nanoparticles.

    Synthesis of Amidoximated Polyacrylonitrile Fibers and Its Application for Sorption of Aqueous Uranyl Ions Under Continuous Flow
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Shahwan, Talal; Parlak, Onur; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    This study reports a feasible method for the removal of radioactive U(VI) ions from aqueous systems via column sorption under continuous flow. Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers were used as sorbent materials in a homemade minicolumn. The nitrile groups on the fibers' surface were modified to amidoxime groups using hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Surface modification was observed to enhance the sorption capacity of PAN fibers toward uranium ions by more than 4-fold by virtue of the chelating ability of the amidoxime groups. The experiments investigated the effect of pH, initial concentration, and repetitive loading on the sorption properties of amidoximated PAN fibers. Based on the overall results, the surface-modified fibers seem to be a suitable potential sorbent material for applications in environmental cleanup, particularly for nuclear plants.

    Hierarchically Structured Metal Oxide/Silica Nanofibers by Colloid Electrospinning
    (American Chemical Society, 2012) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Mun˜oz-Espí, Rafael; Glasser, Gunnar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Landfester, Katharina; Crespy, Daniel
    We present herein a new concept for the preparation of nanofibrous metal oxides based on the simultaneous electrospinning of metal oxide precursors and silica nanoparticles. Precursor fibers are prepared by electrospinning silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter) dispersed in an aqueous solution of poly(acrylic acid) and metal salts. Upon calcination in air, the poly(acrylic acid) matrix is removed, the silica nanoparticles are cemented, and nanocrystalline metal oxide particles of 4-14 nm are nucleated at the surface of the silica nanoparticles. The obtained continuous silica fibers act as a structural framework for metal oxide nanoparticles and show improved mechanical integrity compared to the neat metal oxide fibers. The hierarchically nanostructured materials are promising for catalysis applications, as demonstrated by the successful degradation of a model dye in the presence of the fibers.

    Humidity Sensing Properties of Zno-Based Fibers by Electrospinning
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Okur, Salih; Demir, Mustafa Muammer
    Zinc oxide (ZnO) based fibers with a diameter of 80-100 nm were prepared by electrospinning. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate dihydrate were dissolved in water and the polymer/salt solution was electrospun at 2.5 kV cm-1. The resulting electrospun fibers were subjected to calcination at 500 °C for 2 h to obtain ZnO-based fibers. Humidity sensing properties of the fiber mats were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method and electrical measurements. The adsorption kinetics under constant relative humidity (RH) between 10% and 90% were explained using Langmuir adsorption model. Results of the measurements showed that ZnO-based fibers were found to be promising candidate for humidity sensing applications at room temperature.
