    Production and Dispersion of Plasma Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes in Pan Fiber Spinning Solution With Different Surfactants
    (MMOB Tekstil Mühendisleri Odası, 2022) Kutlu, Bengi; Akşit, Aysun; Selamet, Yusuf; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Selamet, Yusuf; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In this study, the distribution of plasma-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes in polyacrylonitrile nanocomposite fibers produced by wet spinning method using different surfactants (Triton-X and sodium dodecyl sulfate) was investigated. Firstly, we produced CNTs by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Secondly, low-pressure plasma functionalization of CNTs was realized. Finally, nanocomposite polyacrylonitrile fibers doped by CNTs were obtained using wet spinning technique. Properties of produced carbon nanotubes, functionalized carbon nanotubes and nanocomposite polyacrylonitrile fibers were examined by the analyses of chemical composition, surface structure, structural and mechanical properties.

    Synthesis and Characterization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube: Cyto-Genotoxicity in Allium Cepa Root Tips and Molecular Docking Studies
    (Wiley, 2022) İnce Yardımcı, Atike; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Açıkbaş, Yaser; Liman, Recep; Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Yılmaz, Selahattin; Ciğerci, İbrahim Hakkı; 03.02. Department of Chemical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Herein, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized by the thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated that obtained nanotubes were SWCNTs with high crystallinity and their average diameter was 10.15 ± 3 nm. Allium cepa ana–telophase and comet assays on the root meristem were employed to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of SWCNTs by examining mitotic phases, mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs), and DNA damage. A. cepa root tip cells were exposed to SWCNTs at concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml for 4 h. Distilled water and methyl methanesulfonate (MMS, 10 μg/ml) were used as the negative and positive control groups, respectively. It was observed that MIs decreased statistically significantly for all applied doses. Besides, CAs such as chromosome laggards, disturbed anaphase–telophase, stickiness and bridges and also DNA damage increased in the presence of SWCNTs in a concentration-dependent manner. In the molecular docking study, the SWCNT were found to be a strong DNA major groove binder showing an energetically very favorable binding free energy of −21.27 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the SWCNT interacted effectively with the nucleotides on both strands of DNA primarily via hydrophobic π and electrostatic interactions. As a result, cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of SWCNTs in A. cepa root meristematic cells which is a reliable system for assessment of nanoparticle toxicology were demonstrated in this study.
