Other Macromol. Mater. Eng. 7/2016(Wiley, 2016) Isık, Tuğba; Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, Bo; Demir, Mustafa MuammerAn easy-to-use test platform toward the rapid diagnosis of many life-threating diseases was developed. DNA was isolated from the mixture of BSA+DNA using fibrous commodity polystyrene, which was extremely cheap and can be readily electrospun under ambient conditions. Surface modification with Au nanoparticles improved the performance of the fibrous membrane.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Utilization of Electrospun Polystyrene Membranes as a Preliminary Step for Rapid Diagnosis(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Işık, Tuğba; Horzum, Nesrin; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Liedberg, Bo; Demir, Mustafa MuammerRecent advances in clinical practice drive deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as an important class of biomarker. Monitoring the change in their concentration suggests the initiation and/or progression of various disorders. However, low quantity of DNA biomarkers in body fluids requires a delicate isolation methodology that provides efficient separation and easy handling. This study describes a newer-generation separation technology relying on electrospun fibers of sub-micrometer diameter of a commodity polymer for DNA biomarkers in simulative serum. Fibrous polystyrene membranes are prepared by electrospinning and they are subjected to post-modification with Au. The composite membranes may provide a convenient environment for the removal of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from BSA and DNA mixtures. The eluent can be used as an efficient tool for detection of DNA biomarkers associated with diagnosis of numerous life-threatening diseases.Article Citation - WoS: 47Effect of Filler Amount on Thermoelastic Properties of Poly (dimethylsiloxane) Networks(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Menceloğlu, Yusuf Z.; Erman, BurakEnd-linked poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) networks were prepared in the presence of fumed silica particles with hydroxyl groups at their surfaces. The silica particles were introduced into the polymer solution prior to end-linking. Hydroxyl ended PDMS chains were end-linked via the tetra functional crosslinker, tetraethoxysilane. The filler content varied in the range 0-5 wt%. Atomic Force Microscopy was used to image and characterize the silica particles. Swelling, stress-strain and thermoelasticity experiments were performed. The temperature coefficient and the energetic part of the force in uniaxial extension are found to increase with increasing silica amount. This observation is ascribed to effects contributed possibly by the adsorption layer around the silica particles.Article Citation - WoS: 109Citation - Scopus: 124Chitosan Fiber-Supported Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles as a Novel Sorbent for Sequestration of Inorganic Arsenic(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Nairat, Muath; Shahwan, TalalThis study proposes a new sorbent for the removal of inorganic arsenic from aqueous solutions. Monodispersed nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles were nucleated at the surface of electrospun chitosan fibers (average fiber diameter of 195 ± 50 nm) by liquid phase reduction of FeCl3 using NaBH4. The material was characterized using SEM, TGA, XPS, XRD, and FTIR. The diameter of iron nanoparticles was found to vary between 75-100 nm. A set of batch experiments were carried out to elucidate the efficiency of the composite sorbent toward fixation of arsenite and arsenate ions. The ion concentrations in the supernatant solutions were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results revealed that the chitosan fiber supported nZVI particles is an excellent sorbent material for inorganic arsenic uptake at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 5.00 mg L -1 over a wide range of pH values. Based on XPS analysis, As(iii) was found to undergo oxidation to As(v) upon sorption, while As(v) retained its oxidation state. By virtue of the successful combination of the electrospun fibers' mechanical integrity and the large reactivity of dispersed nZVI particles, the applicability of the resulting sorbent material in arsenic sorption holds broad promise.
