Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Monetite Promoting Effect of Citric Acid on Brushite Cement Setting Kinetics(Maney Publishing, 2014) Şahin, Erdem; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinBrushite forming calcium phosphate cements receive growing interest in hard tissue scaffold applications due to their high surface area and high bioresorbability. The finer microstructure of monetite, the dehydrated form of brushite, has attracted attention for bone tissue engineering applications. The reduction in brushite content of the b-tricalcium phosphate-monocalcium phosphate monohydrate cement system by selective inhibition of growth upon addition of citric acid to excess setting liquid was investigated. The relaxation period during cement setting was monitored by pH stat titration and free drift runs. Spectrometric analysis revealed that the change in solubility of calcium phosphates upon addition of citric acid caused the inhibition of brushite formation and promotion of monetite precipitation. Dissolution of monetite crystals was insensitive to citrate adsorption despite their lower surface area compared to brushite. Overall brushite/ monetite ratio decreased consistently with increasing citric acid concentration in the of 0?1-0?5M range.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Preparation and Characterization of Flexible Poly(vinyl Chloride) Foam Films(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2012) Şahin, Erdem; Yaşar Mahlıçlı, Filiz; Yetgin, Senem; Balköse, DevrimIn this study, the effect of activator ZnO and heating time at 190°C on foaming, gelation, and dehydrochlorination of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisol was investigated. For this purpose, a PVC plastisol was prepared by mixing PVC, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), azodicarbonamide (ADC), ZnO, and the heat stabilizers calcium stearate (CaSt 2) and zinc stearate(ZnSt 2). PVC plastisol films were heated for 3, 6, 12, and 24 min periods at 190°C to see the effect of heating time on the gelation and foaming processes of the PVC foam. The time of 12 min was determined to be optimum for the completion of gelation and foaming processes without thermal degradation of PVC. No foaming was observed under the same conditions for the samples without ZnO. ZnO had a significant catalytic effect on ADC decomposition, accelerating the foaming of the films. Average porosity measurement showed a consistent increase in porosity with heating time up to 76% and the average density decreased from 1.17 to 0.29 g/cm 3 on foaming. Tensile tests showed that the tensile strength and tensile strain both increased considerably up to 0.98 MPa and 207%, respectively, with heating time and the elastic modulus was seen to gradually decrease from 4.7 to 0.7 MPa with heating time. Films without ZnO had higher tensile strength since there were no pores. PVC thermomat tests showed that ZnO lowered the stability time of plastigel film with azodicarbonamide.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 23Monetite Promoting Effect of Nacl on Brushite Cement Setting Kinetics(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Şahin, Erdem; Çiftçioglu, MuhsinBrushite forming calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have received growing interest for scaffold applications due to their high surface area and high bioresorbability. The dehydrated form of brushite, monetite, has a finer microstructure with higher surface area, higher strength and bioresorbability comparable to brushite, making it a viable alternative phase in CPCs. The increase in monetite content of the β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)-monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) cement system due to the reduction in its supersaturation upon addition of NaCl to excess setting liquid was investigated kinetically. The relaxation period was monitored by pH-stat titration of the cement solution by 0.1 M NaOH. Monetite growth was achieved in shorter periods at higher NaCl concentrations where the supersaturation gap between brushite and monetite is thought to be narrowed due to high ionic strength in accord with Pitzer's ion interaction model. The brushite/monetite ratio decreased consistently with increasing NaCl concentration in the 3-6 M range.
