    Hierarchically Porous Polymer Derived Ceramics: a Promising Platform for Multidrug Delivery Systems
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Vakıfahmetoğlu, Çekdar; Zeydanlı, Damla; Özalp, Veli Cengiz; Borsa, Barış Ata; Soraru, Gian Domenico
    Mesoporous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) components were formed with the use of “molecular spacer” (a sacrificial vinyl-terminated linear siloxane which while decomposing during pyrolysis generates pores with size proportional to the molecular weight), followed by a post-pyrolysis etching treatment by hydrofluoric acid (HF) to obtain C-rich SiOC samples having additional micro-/mesoporosity and specific surface area reaching to 774 m2/g. The biocompatibility of the samples was validated by hemolysis test, and their cargo/drug loading capacities were studied by two different sized polypeptides as model molecules. SiOC particles showed less hemolysis compared to the reference material MCM-41. Similarly, the loading capacity and the release kinetics of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and vancomycin-loaded SiOC particles were improved compared to that of MCM-41. In the multi cargo loading/release capacity tests, done by using different sized molecules, Bio2-HF and MCM-41 were loaded both with fluorescein and BSA. While a lagging time in fluorescein release was observed for MCM-41, the release kinetics of fluorescein and BSA was not affected when they are loaded together in the hierarchical pores of Bio2-HF, allowing the release of both large and small cargo molecules. The antimicrobial activity tests showed that Bio2-HF performed better than MCM-41 particles in improving bactericidal activity.

    Experimental and Computational Investigation of Graphene/Sams Schottky Diodes
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Aydın, Hasan; Bacaksız, Cihan; Yağmurcukardeş, Nesli; Karakaya, Caner; Mermer, Ömer; Can, Mustafa; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Şahin, Hasan; Selamet, Yusuf
    We have investigated the effect of two different self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on electrical characteristics of bilayer graphene (BLG)/n-Si Schottky diodes. Novel 4″bis(diphenylamino)-1, 1′:3″-terphenyl-5′ carboxylic acids (TPA) and 4,4-di-9H-carbazol-9-yl-1,1′:3′1′-terphenyl-5′ carboxylic acid (CAR) aromatic SAMs have been used to modify n-Si surfaces. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) results have been evaluated to verify the modification of n-Si surface. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of bare and SAMs modified devices show rectification behaviour verifying a Schottky junction at the interface. The ideality factors (n) from ln(I)–V dependences were determined as 2.13, 1.96 and 2.07 for BLG/n-Si, BLG/TPA/n-Si and BLG/CAR/n-Si Schottky diodes, respectively. In addition, Schottky barrier height (SBH) and series resistance (R s ) of SAMs modified diodes were decreased compared to bare diode due to the formation of a compatible interface between graphene and Si as well as π–π interaction between aromatic SAMs and graphene. The CAR-based device exhibits better diode characteristic compared to the TPA-based device. Computational simulations show that the BLG/CAR system exhibits smaller energy-level-differences than the BLG/TPA, which supports the experimental findings of a lower Schottky barrier and series resistance in BLG/CAR diode.
