    Chitosan-Hybrid Poss Nanocomposites for Bone Regeneration: the Effect of Poss Nanocage on Surface, Morphology, Structure and in Vitro Bioactivity
    (Elsevier, 2020) Tamburacı, Sedef; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda
    POSS, regarded as the smallest silica particle, is widely used as nanofiller in polymer systems. POSS-based nanocomposites are deduced as novel materials having potency for biomedical applications owing to the enhanced biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics. The aim of this work was to integrate the beneficial features of chitosan (CS) and OctaTMA-POSS nanoparticle to design nanocomposite for bone tissue regeneration. The nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated by freeze-drying. The effects of POSS incorporation on morphology and structure of CS matrix were examined. Bioactivity and osteogenic effects of the POSS nanoparticles were investigated with cytocompatibility, cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin production and biomineralization assays. PUSS incorporation altered the surface morphology by increasing surface roughness. Nanocomposite scaffolds with 82-90% porosity exhibited an increase in compression modulus of scaffolds (78-107 kPa) compared to control CS group (56 kPa). Results indicated that CS-POSS scaffolds were found cytocompatible with 3T3, MG-63 and Saos-2 cell lines. POSS incorporation showed promising effects on osteoblast adhesion and proliferation as well as increasing ALP activity, octeocalcin secretion and biomineralization of cells. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

    Sustainable Bio-Nano Composite Coatings for the Protection of Marble Surfaces
    (Elsevier Masson SAS, 2015) Ocak, Y.; Sofuoglu, A.; Tihminlioglu, F.; Böke, H.
    Water repellency on natural stone surfaces is the most important issue in the protection of stone monuments from effects of atmospheric pollutants. In this study, effectiveness of a bio-nano composite coating, composed of a biodegradable polymer (poly-L-lactide [PLA]) and montmorillonite clay (MMT) was investigated for the protection of marble surfaces from pollution. The clay dispersion in polymer matrices was analyzed by using Scanning Tunnel Electron Microscopy (STEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), while protection performance was investigated by the measurement of surface roughness, wettability, water vapor permeability, capillary water absorption, and color changes on the marble surfaces. As a result, no alteration on the color of coated marbles was observed, significant improvement was obtained for hydrophobicity of the surface and inhibition of sulfation reaction on the exposed marble surfaces under acidic atmosphere. It could be said that PLA based nanocomposites seem to be promising materials as protective coating agents in reducing the effects of water and atmospheric pollutants on marble surfaces. © 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS.
