    Modification of Electrospun Pva/Paa Scaffolds by Cold Atmospheric Plasma: Alignment, Antibacterial Activity, and Biocompatibility
    (Springer Verlag, 2019) Arik, Nehir; İnan, Alper; İbiş, Fatma; Demirci, Emine A.; Karaman, Ozan; Ercan, Utku K.; Horzum, Nesrin
    The ongoing search for better antibacterial wound care dressings has led to the design and fabrication of advanced functional nanomaterials. Taking advantage of electrospinning and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), free-standing nanofibrous scaffolds are promising for use in novel biomedical applications. Random and aligned polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) nanofiber scaffolds are fabricated by electrospinning and treated with CAP. In this study, we investigate the effects of CAP treatment on alignment, hydrophilicity, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility in determining the surface properties of the nanofibrous scaffolds. The results of vibrational polarization spectroscopy analysis indicate that CAP treatment changes the degree of alignment of the nanofibers. Furthermore, both random and aligned CAP-treated nanofibrous scaffolds show significant antibacterial activity against the E. coli strain. The results of an in vitro scratch assay reveal that CAP treatment of PVA/PAA nanofibers has no toxic effect.

    Li-Ion Battery Cathode Performance From the Electrospun Binary Licoo2 To Ternary Li2coti3o8
    (Springer Verlag, 2020) Kap, Özlem; İnan, Alper; Er, Mesut; Horzum, Nesrin
    Metal oxide nanofibers are prepared by electrospinning and are developed to be the electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The effect of calcination temperature and the Li:Co mole ratio of LiCoO2 nanofibers was investigated on the electrochemical cathode performance in a coin cell battery. The higher temperature calcination and Li:Co mole ratio have improved the electrochemical performance of the nanofibers. Lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) nanofibers obtained at 400 and 700 degrees C retain 65% and 90% of the initial capacity, respectively, after the high-current test and the C-rate reverted to 0.1 C. When doubling the mole ratio of Li:Co (2:1), an increase in specific capacity values from 78 to 148 mAh g(-1) has been provided. Additionally, colloidal titania nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs)-doped LiCoO2 nanofibers were obtained and investigated as a cathode material. While the increment in calcination temperature results in higher crystallinity and stability of the LiCoO2 phase, in the presence of the TiO2 NPs causes a transformation of binary (LiCoO2/TiO2) to ternary Li-based transition metal oxide (Li2CoTi3O8/TiO2). An initial discharge capacity of 82 mAh g(-1) was found at 0.1 C for the Li2CoTi3O8/TiO2 nanoparticles and the capacity retention was 83% when returned to 0.1 C after 25 cycles.
