Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Enhanced Model Protein Adsorption of Nanoparticulate Hydroxyapatite Thin Films on Silk Sericin and Fibroin Surfaces(Springer, 2022) Özcan, Selçuk; Çiftçioğlu, MuhsinHydroxyapatite coated metallic implants favorably combine the required biocompatibility with the mechanical properties. As an alternative to the industrial coating method of plasma spraying with inherently potential deleterious effects, sol-gel methods have attracted much attention. In this study, the effects of intermediate silk fibroin and silk sericin layers on the protein adsorption capacity of hydroxyapatite films formed by a particulate sol-gel method were determined experimentally. The preparation of the layered silk protein/hydroxyapatite structures on glass substrates, and the effects of the underlying silk proteins on the topography of the hydroxyapatite coatings were described. The topography of the hydroxyapatite layer fabricated on the silk sericin was such that the hydroxyapatite particles were oriented forming an oriented crystalline surface. The model protein (bovine serum albumin) adsorption increased to 2.62 µg/cm2 on the latter surface as compared to 1.37 µg/cm2 of hydroxyapatite on glass without an intermediate silk sericin layer.

The filters encompass only five layers of alternating zinc tin oxide and silver thin films that are grown on soda lime glass and white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using direct current magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The designed filters provide efficient color filtering in the visible spectrum. High purity colored light is obtained by direct application of filters on LEDs as color converters. The presented method offers an easy way for realizing different colors by tuning the thicknesses of layers in the structure. (C) 2021 Optical Society of AmericaArticle Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29Development of a High-Flux Thin-Film Composite Nanofiltration Membrane With Sub-Nanometer Selectivity Using a Ph and Temperature-Responsive Pentablock Co-Polymer(American Chemical Society, 2019) Bar, Canbike; Çağlar, Nagahan; Uz, Metin; Mallapragada, Surya K.; Alsoy Altınkaya, SacideProducing block co-polymer-based nanofiltration (NF) membranes with sharp molecular weight cutoffs via an efficient method exhibiting persistent size-based separation quality is challenging. In this study, this challenge was addressed by reporting a facile approach to fabricate pentablock co-polymer (PBC)-based thin-film composite (TFC) NF membranes. The PBC, consisting of temperature-responsive Pluronic F127 (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO) middle blocks and pH-responsive poly(N,N-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) end blocks, were synthesized by atom-transfer radical polymerization. This polymer was then attached electrostatically to the surface of polysulfone/sulfonated polyether-sulfone support membranes fabricated using a non-solvent-induced phase separation technique. The conformational changes of the PBC chains in response to pH and temperature determined the, pure water flux and neutral solute (PEG 1000) rejection performance of TFC membranes. Permeability of the membranes increased from 13.0 +/- 0.63 to 15.9 +/- 0.06 L/m(2).h bar and from 6.7 +/- 0.00 to 13.9 +/- 0.07 L/m(2).h.bar by changing the solution pH from 4 to 8.5 and temperature from 4 to 25 degrees C, respectively. The pH- and temperature-responsive conformational changes did not affect the PEG 1000 rejection and membrane pore radius, which remained constant at similar to 89% and similar to 0.9 nm, respectively. This important finding was attributed to the high grafting density of co-polymer chains, resulting in spatial limitations among the grafted chains. The pore size of similar to 0.9 nm achieved with the proposed membrane design is the smallest size reported so far for membranes fabricated from block copolymers. TFC membranes demonstrated high stability and maintained their flux and rejection values under both static (storage in an acidic solution for up to 1 month) and dynamic (filtering PEG 1000 solution over 1 week) conditions. Pentablock copolymers enable a NF membrane with a sharp molecular weight cutoff suitable for size-selective separations. The membrane fabrication technique proposed in this study is a scalable and promising alternative that does not involve complex synthetic routes.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Humidity Adsorption Kinetics of a Trypsin Gel Film(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Okur, Salih; Ceylan, Çağatay; Çulcular, EvrenThis study focuses on the humidity adsorption kinetics of an isopropanol-induced and pH-triggered bovine pancreatic trypsin gel (BPTG). The BPTG was adsorbed on a gold coated Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) substrate with a thickness of 376nm. The morphology of the film was characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). QCM was used to investigate the humidity sensing properties of the BPTG film. The response of the humidity sensor was explained using the Langmuir model. The average values of adsorption and desorption rates between 11% RH (relative humidity) and 97% RH were calculated as 2482.5M -1s -1 and 0.02s -1, respectively. The equilibrium constant and average Gibbs Free Energy of humidity adsorption and desorption cycles were obtained as 133,000 and -11.8kJ/mol, respectively. © 2011 Elsevier Inc..
