    Enhanced Osteoconductive Properties of Quince Seed Hydrocolloid-Based Composite Scaffolds Enriched With Bioactive Glass for Bone Tissue Engineering
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025) Yilmaz-Dagdeviren, Hilal Deniz; Zheng, Kai; Boccaccini, Aldo Roberto; Arslan Yildiz, Ahu
    Bioactive composite scaffolds enhance osteoconduction and mineralization, offering potential for bone regeneration. In this study, polysaccharide-based Quince Seed Hydrocolloid (QSH) was combined with Gelatin (Gel), mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs), and 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) to fabricate osteoconductive scaffolds. QSH/Gel/BG and QSH/Gel/MBGN composites were characterized for chemical composition, mechanical behavior, and in vitro bioactivity. FTIR and SEM-elemental mapping confirmed homogeneous bioactive glass incorporation. BET analysis revealed a >3-fold increase in surface area for MBGN-containing scaffolds compared to BG and pristine QSH/Gel samples, attributed to the nanoscale mesoporous structure of MBGNs. Swelling tests showed a hydrophilic nature in all scaffolds, with MBGN composites exhibiting the highest swelling ratio (2094 +/- 571%), nearly twice that of BG composites (1105 +/- 56%). Compression tests indicated similar elastic moduli for MBGN and BG containing scaffolds (2330 and 2140 Pa). Human osteosarcoma cell cultures (28 days) demonstrated high viability (>70%) and osteoconductive response in all composites. Alizarin Red staining and SEM mapping revealed greater mineral accumulation in MBGN-containing scaffolds (Ca/P: 2.53). Overall, both composites supported a 3D osteoconductive microenvironment, while MBGN scaffolds exhibited superior long-term cell viability and mineralization potential, emphasizing their suitability for bone tissue engineering applications.

    Enhanced Oxidation and Thermal Shock Resistance of N-Type Mg2Si0.89(Sn0.1,Sb0.01) Thermoelectric Material Via Cr0.9Si0.1 Coating
    (Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2025) Gurtaran, Mikdat; Zhang, Zhenxue; Li, Xiaoying; Dong, Hanshan
    In this study, Cr0.9Si0.1 coatings are deposited onto Mg2Si0.89(Sn0.1Sb0.01) thermoelectric (TE) materials using a closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering system. The cyclic oxidation behavior of uncoated and Cr0.9Si0.1-coated TE materials is thoroughly investigated at 500 degrees C for 10 and 50 cycles, with each cycle lasting 1 h. Surface morphology, phase constitution, cross-sectional layer structure, and elemental distribution are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Oxidation kinetics are assessed by measuring the mass gain of samples after cyclic oxidation testing. The uncoated TE material exhibits significant surface degradation after cyclic oxidation, initially forming MgO particles, followed by the development of SiO2 and Mg2SiO4 phases in later stages. Encouragingly, the Cr0.9Si0.1 coating demonstrates excellent thermal stability on the n-type Mg2Si0.89(Sn0.1Sb0.01) substrate. Although some oxygen diffusion occurs along grain boundaries within the coating, it is effectively trapped, thereby preventing further penetration into the underlying substrate. The high oxygen affinity of Cr and/or Si atoms plays a critical role in blocking oxidation, offering robust protection. These findings strongly support the use of Cr0.9Si0.1 coatings as an effective antioxidant barrier for TE materials under harsh operational conditions, ensuring the long-term operation of TE modules at elevated temperatures.
