Article Citation - WoS: 52Citation - Scopus: 54Development of Si Doped Nano Hydroxyapatite Reinforced Bilayer Chitosan Nanocomposite Barrier Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration(Elsevier, 2021) Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaGuided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a widely used process for the treatment of periodontal defects to prevent the formation of surrounding soft tissue at the periodontal defect and to provide hard tissue regeneration. Recently GBR designs have focused on the development of resorbable natural polymer-based barrier membranes due to their biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. The aim of this study is to fabricate a novel bilayer nanocomposite membrane with microporous sublayer composed of chitosan and Si doped nanohydroxyapatite particles (Si-nHap) and chitosan/PEO nanofiber upper layer. Bilayer membrane was designed to prevent epithelial and fibroblastic cell migration and growth impeding bone formation with its upper layer and to support osteogenic cell bioactivity at the defect site with its sublayer. Microporous and nanofiber layers were fabricated by using freeze-drying and electrospinning techniques respectively. The effect of Si-nHap content on the morphological, mechanical and physical properties of the composites were investigated using SEM, AFM, micro-Ct, compression test, water uptake capacity and enzymatic degradation study. Antimicrobial properties of nanocomposite membranes were investigated with tube dilution and disk diffusion methods. In vitro cytotoxicity of bilayer membranes was evaluated. Saos-2 and NIH/3T3 proliferation studies were carried out on each layer. In vitro bioactivity of Saos-2 and NIH/3T3 cells were evaluated with ALP activity and hydroxyproline content respectively. Results showed that Si-nHap incorporation enhanced the mechanical and physical properties as well as controlling biodegradability of the polymer matrix. Besides, Si-nHap loading induced the bioactivity of Saos-2 cells by enhancing cell attachment, spreading and biomineralization on the material surface. Thus, results supported that designed bilayer nanocomposite membranes can be used as a potential biomaterial for guided bone regeneration in periodontal applications.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Trans-resveratrol’ün Kitosan Mikroküreler İçerisindeki Kararlılığı(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Altıok, Duygu; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Fundatrans-Resveratrol, (3,5,4?-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a phenolic compound present in some plant species, have been shown to posses antioxidative, anticarcinogenic and antitumour properties. However, under UV light, it turns into -cis form and looses its bioactivity.This study aims to increase the stability of trans-resveratrol by loading it into chitosan microspheres. Within this context, the trans-resveratrol loaded chitosan microspheres was produced by spray drying and then the resultant microspheres were characterized. The particle size and the surface morphology of resultant microspheres were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetry analyser(TGA). The stability of free and that of inside the microspheres was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was found that the stability of trans-resveratrol incorporated into chitosan microspheres kept constant. ©2009 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 47Bioactive Diatomite and Poss Silica Cage Reinforced Chitosan/Na-carboxymethyl Cellulose Polyelectrolyte Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regeneration(Elsevier, 2019) Tamburacı, Sedef; Kimna, Ceren; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaRecently, natural polymers are reinforced with silica particles for hard tissue engineering applications to induce bone regeneration. In this study, as two novel bioactive agents, effects of diatomite and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) on chitosan (CS)/Na-carboxymethylcellulose (Na-CMC) polymer blend scaffolds are examined. In addition, the effect of silica reinforcements was compared with Si-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite (Si-Hap) particles. The morphology, physical and chemical structures of the scaffolds were characterized with SEM, liquid displacement, FT-IR, mechanical analysis, swelling and degradation studies. The particle size and the crystal structure of diatomite, POSS and Si-Hap particles were determined with DLS and XRD analyses. In vitro studies were performed to figure out the cytotoxicity, proliferation, ALP activity, osteocalcin production and biomineralization to demonstrate the promising use of natural silica particles in bone regeneration. Freeze-dried scaffolds showed 190-307 mu m pore size range and 61-70% porosity. Both inorganic reinforcements increased the mechanical strength, enhanced the water uptake capacity and fastened the degradation rate. The nanocomposite scaffolds did not show any cytotoxic effect and enhanced the surface mineralization in osteogenic medium. Thus, diatomite and POSS cage structures can be potential reinforcements for nanocomposite design in hard tissue engineering applications.Article Citation - WoS: 62Citation - Scopus: 72Diatomite Reinforced Chitosan Composite Membrane as Potential Scaffold for Guided Bone Regeneration(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaIn this study, natural silica source, diatomite, incorporated novel chitosan based composite membranes were fabricated and characterized for bone tissue engineering applications as possible bone regeneration membrane. The effect of diatomite loading on the mechanical, morphological, chemical, thermal and surface properties, wettability and in vitro cytotoxicity and cell proliferation on of composite membranes were investigated and observed by tensile test, atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), protein adsorption assay, air/water contact angle analysis and WST-1 respectively. Swelling studies were also performed by water absorption capacity determination. Results showed that incorporation of diatomite to the chitosan matrix increased the surface roughness, swelling capacity and tensile modulus of membranes. An increase of about 52% in Young's modulus was achieved for 10 wt% diatomite composite membranes compared with chitosan membranes. High cell viability results were obtained with indirect extraction method. Besides, in vitro cell proliferation and ALP activity results showed that diatom incorporation significantly increased the ALP activity of Saos-2 cells cultured on chitosan membranes. The novel composite membranes prepared in the present study with tunable properties can be considered as a potential candidate as a scaffold in view of its enhanced physical & chemical properties as well as biological activities for bone tissue engineering applications.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Phase Equilibrium and Diffusion of Solvents in Polybutadiene: a Capillary-Column Inverse Gas Chromatography Study(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2002) Cai, W. D.; Ramesh, N.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Danner, Ronald P.; Duda, John Larry; De Haan, A.The capillary-column inverse gas chromatography method was used to measure the diffusion and partition coefficients of ethylbenzene, styrene, and acrylonitrile in polybutadiene (PBD) at infinite dilution of the solvents. Experiments were performed over a temperature range of 50-125°C. At temperatures well above the glass-transition temperature of PBD, the diffusivities were correlated using an Arrhenius expression. The Arrhenius parameters in turn were intercorrelated and shown to be a function of the occupied volume, thus providing a method for predicting the diffusion of other solvents in the same polymer. Further, the activation energy was predicted using the Duda-Vrentas free-volume approach. The activation energy thus obtained was compared with the activation energy of the Arrhenius approach. The weight-fraction activity coefficient data were compared to the predictions of the group contribution, lattice-fluid equation-of-state, and the UNIquac Functional-group Activity Coefficient (UNIFAC) free-volume models.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Solvent Diffusion in Amorphous Polymers: Polystyrene-Solvent Systems(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2000) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Danner, Ronald P.The inverse gas chromatography (IGC) technique was used to obtain the partition and diffusion coefficients of solvents in polystyrene over a wide range of temperatures. Infinite dilution experiments were performed with three solvents: toluene, benzene, and hexane. Finite concentration data were measured for the polystyrene-toluene system at various concentrations from 110 to 180 °C. For the finite concentration region, the modified capillary column model used by Tihminlioglu and Danner (J Chromatogr A 1999, 845, 93-101) was used to calculate diffusion and thermodynamic data. Finite concentration thermodynamic data were also calculated with the retention theory approach and compared with the capillary column model. The experimental IGC results are in good agreement with data from other experimental techniques.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Solvent Diffusion in Amorphous Polymers: Polyvinyl Acetate-Toluene System(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2000) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Danner, Ronald P.; Lützow, Norbert; Duda, John LarryIn a previous publication (Tihminlioglu et al., J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 1997, 35, 1279), we presented an extensive analysis of the polyvinyl acetate-toluene system. The inverse gas chromatography (IGC) technique was used to measure phase equilibria and diffusion coefficients above and near the glass-transition temperature of a polymer. At temperatures above the glass transition, the capillary column model developed by Pawlisch et al. (Macromolecules 1987, 20, 1564) was used. For the finite concentration region, the modified model of Tihminlioglu and Danner (J Chromatogr A 1999, 845, 93) was applied. Data obtained with the IGC method were in agreement with data measured with the gravimetric and piezoelectric sorption techniques. In this work, we revisit the partition coefficient issue and provide some new data at lower temperatures. At temperatures near the glass-transition temperature, the modification of the capillary column model proposed by Vrentas et al. (Macromolecules 1993, 26, 6670) was used for the infinite dilution region. The diffusion data correlated well with the Vrentas-Duda free-volume model.
