    Mini modular plant design for ethylene production using Martian atmosphere on Mars
    (Elsevier, 2024) Deliismail, Özgün; Şeker, Erol
    A main shift in the competitive landscape of technology development is in 3D printing of complex articles made of variety of materials due to faster manufacturing and less human error in the production. In fact, it seems to be a viable candidate for the construction of structures for terrestrial and extraterrestrial life in future. Thus, new or damaged equipment in space explorations could be replaced instantly, and habitats could be manufactured using 3D printing in varying gravitational fields in the solar system. Among 3D printing materials, HDPE is commonly used in the projects, such as a prototype manufacturing or pipes or damp-proof membrane. This study initially focused on the preliminary design of the self-sustaining mini ethylene production plant from Martian atmosphere with scale-out architecture. UniSIM® was integrated with MATLAB® via CAPE-OPEN extension to design mini-ethylene production plant at low gravity. Ethylene capacity was found as 17.71 tons/year for 100 modules. © 2023 COSPAR

    Effect of Molecular Architecture on Cell Interactions and Stealth Properties of Peg
    (American Chemical Society, 2017) Özer, İmran; Tomak, Aysel; Zareie, Hadi M.; Baran, Yusuf; Bulmuş, Volga
    PEGylation, covalent attachment of PEG to therapeutic biomolecules, in which suboptimal pharmacokinetic profiles limiting their therapeutic utility are of concern, is a widely applied technology. However, this technology has been challenged by reduced bioactivity of biomolecules upon PEGylation and immunogenicity of PEG triggering immune response and abrogating clinical efficacy, which collectively necessitate development of stealth polymer alternatives. Here we demonstrate that comb-shape poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (POEGMA), a stealth polymer alternative, has a more compact structure than PEG and self-organize into nanoparticles in a molecular weight dependent manner. Most notably, we show that comb-shape POEGMA promotes significantly higher cellular uptake and exhibits less steric hindrance imposed on the conjugated biomolecule than PEG. Collectively, comb-shape POEGMA offers a versatile alternative to PEG for stealth polymer-biomolecule conjugation applications.

    Nitrogen Doping for Facile and Effective Modification of Graphene Surfaces
    (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017) Yanılmaz, Alper; Tomak, Aysel; Akbalı, Barış; Bacaksız, Cihan; Özçeri, Elif; Arı, Ozan; Senger, Ramazan Tuğrul; Selamet, Yusuf; Zareie, Hadi M.
    We report experimental and theoretical investigations of nitrogen doped graphene. A low-pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) system was used to grow large-area graphene on copper foil, using ethylene as the carbon source. Nitrogen-doped graphene (N-graphene) was prepared by exposing the graphene transferred to different substrates to atomic nitrogen plasma. The effect of varying nitrogen flow rates on doping of graphene was investigated while keeping the power and time constant during the process. The N-graphene was characterized via Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Raman mapping of N-graphene was also performed to show homogeneity of nitrogen on the graphitic lattice. XPS results have revealed the presence of different nitrogen configurations in the graphitic lattice with similar doping concentrations. Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations showed that the periodic adsorption of N atoms predominantly occurs on top of the C atoms rather than through substitution of C in our N-graphene samples. Our results indicate a feasible procedure for producing N-graphene with homogenous and effective doping which would be valuable in electronic and optical applications.
